The timing on this was just atrocious for Polanski. We’re still firmly in the Burnham honeymoon and the Zionism motion being the dominant story about the Greens; he was just delt a bad hand here.
Poor Zack, he can’t do anything right.
It’s a bit difficult when you have the entire establishment gunning for you. There’s not many media owners who aren’t psychopaths with a vested interest in destroying the planet, so it’s no wonder you only ever see bad things about him.
He got Burnham elected
the watermelon party not doing so well, shame
i used to like the green party too
don’t sell out to slopulism
The Greens toxified themselves with the Zionism motion, quite possibly irredeemably. There is now a cordon sanitaire around them, with no mainstream party willing to touch them with a 10-foot pole, in the UK or in Europe, and they’re in the same political cesspool as Corbyn and Galloway, while still insisting that they’re something different.
I don’t know about that. If they still continue receiving support - and the outcome here shows they are in fact still popular, almost enough to challenge Labour, - then I don’t think it’ll be as big of a deal-breaker as some politicians and the media are making it out to be.
Parties work with all sorts of right-wingers and known creeps all over, an anti-Israel/genocide stance will be tolerable. The media will blast it for a while, the main question is only if it’ll put them out of contention with the electorate.
“anti-Zionism” is a slippery term that doesn’t nearly stop at anti-genocide or even anti-ethnic-supremacy but can go all the way to “Jews out of the Middle East”. Even if one doesn’t take that maximalist stance, one is stuck on a tough hill to defend.
Uh, no, Zionism is racism and get out of here with your hasbara bullshit
hasbara ahhahahahahahahahahaaa
look it’s a jew hater! i bet you were celebrating jewish deaths on the 7th like those douchebags in newyork shouting over the vigil
Zionism is racism though, trying to equate Corbyn & Galloway is wild, especially given that Labour got 2.5m more votes under Corbyn than any other leader.
Excellent news to wake up to.
