The Greens who gagged the voices of Palestine should hang their head in shame. What they did is not just unacceptable it’s unforgivable

There has been no evidence provided by the Israeli military for any of these claims. Lebanon’s president Joseph Aoun and the Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Morcos denounced the killing of the journalists, with President Aoun calling the attack ‘a blatant crime that violates all the norms and treaties under which journalists enjoy international protection in wars’

Let me tell you about Jessie Ware. She’s a British Jewish artist. She built part of her brand on being Jewish. And for a moment after October 7th — when Jews were being massacred, taken hostage, burned alive in the worst attack on our people since the Holocaust— she spoke up. She acknowledged that her people were being slaughtered. But then the blowback came, and she went quiet. In that moment, she made a choice. A very calculated choice. Keep the Jewish aesthetic. Lose the Jewish spine. Use the identity when it’s cool, when it adds a layer to an interview, when it helps you access celebrities in America, when it makes you interesting at a dinner party in Shoreditch, but the moment it requires actual courage, the moment standing with your people costs you a booking or a follower or a room full of people who find Zionists acceptable targets? Drop it. Fast. I know this personally. We were supposed to meet for coffee a few years ago in Dalston, East London. I used to love that neighborhood so much, but I had to leave when the antisemitism became too bad. She and I spoke. And then one day, I noticed she’d unfollowed me. No message. No “I disagree with something you said.” Just gone. That’s who she is. And now she’s performing at “House Against Hate.” I want you to sit with that name for a second. House. Against. Hate. I almost laughed when I saw it. Almost. An event headlined alongside some of the most anti-Israel, antisemitic voices operating in London right now. Hatred, it turns out, is absolutely welcome as long as it’s directed at Jews who refuse to publicly disown the majority of our own community. You can be Jewish, but you have to be the right kind. The kind that performs self-flagellation for an audience. The kind that calls Zionism — the belief that Jews deserve a homeland— a hate movement. Do that, and the rooms stay full. Don’t, and you’re cancelled. Jessie Ware chose the rooms. I moved out of East London because the neighborhood I loved became somewhere I didn’t feel safe as a Jew. She’s still playing its stages. There’s a word for performing Jewish identity while abandoning Jewish people. I’ll let you find it yourself.

I was on this demo and it was not "for Palestine" - it was for a Britain free of hate

This is why Daily Mail journalists are going after my family now. The right wing propaganda machine will not work on the Green Party. We're ready to end Rip Off Britain, end the cost of living crisis and make hope normal again.

Blair: ‘I know some say that defending the State of Israel is not the way to defeat antisemitism. But there is more at stake than simply defending Israel. It’s about defending reason. Defending facts. Standing up to the noise and intimidation to assert the truth.’
