The pro-Israel, so-called ‘Jewish Greens‘ group of the Green Party have followed their pro-genocide manoeuvres to block an anti-Zionism conference motion with an attack on the Canary. The group, which labelled the Greens’ Jewish party leader as ‘antisemitic’ for opposing genocide, successfully filibustered the “Zionism is Racism” motion tabled at the last party conference. Now it is trying to push through a motion condemning the Canary for covering their manoeuvres.

The group, better named ‘Greens for genocide’, has targeted the Canary’s coverage and in particular a guest article by anti-Zionist academic Prof David Miller. Miller is well known for establishing anti-Zionism as a legally-protected philosophy. Unsurprisingly, his thoroughly-sourced dissection of the group’s tactics to kill the anti-genocide motion pulls no punches.

The full, long-winded motion that the group wants the Greens’ conference to pass claims that the Canary’s coverage has been “badly evidenced or unevidenced” and implies, without evidence, that the coverage is misogynistic and will lead to antisemitism. Unsurprisingly, no lawsuits have been brought and no complaints lodged with regulator IMPRESS that the Canary is aware of. Instead, the group has opted for ‘trial by conference’.
