Jewish Greens

It was formed in 2018 as a “Liberation Group” inside the Green Party at the height of the Labour Party antisemitism witch-hunt. Among the highlights of the programme of speakers and events held by the Jewish Greens in 2024 were:

  • New Israel Fund event: “An Evening with Mikhael Manekin in conversation with Alona Ferber”. The New Israel Fund is a Zionist funding organisation dedicated to supporting projects normalising Zionism and undermining resistance to it.
  • Yachad event: “In conversation with Ami Ayalon” (with Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian). In 2008, Dutch prosecution authorities failed to arrest Ayalon, a former head of the Zionist intelligence agency Shin Bet, while he was visiting the Netherlands. An application for his arrest was reportedly “submitted to the Dutch authorities by Khalid al-Shami, who alleged that he was a victim of torture from1999-2000, when Ami Ayalon was the director of the Shin Bet.”

These last 3 posts I've made have a deeply concerning overarching theme. It seems Anti-Zionism is being targeted ruthlessly within the Greens, going after media and minority members on flimsy grounds.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is a significant smear campaign against the only party that has been vocally against Israel trying to get people not to vote for them. Like in the US the people that refused to vote for Kamala because of Israel and let trump get in.

    This is straight up misinformation, btw. There is no evidence that the Jewish Greens were involved with stalling the vote on this motion, David Miller (an actual antisemite) doesn't provide any evidence. Their actual position on the motion is mixed.
