“Back us to stop the far right,” say the Greens. But what if parts of the Greens are the far right?

Saiqa Ali, a Green candidate in next week’s elections for Streatham St. Leonard’s, Lambeth, posts on her Instagram account a picture of the Earth suffocated by a giant serpent with the Star of David on its skin. She thinks that the British government includes too many “Zionists Jews,” and that Donald Trump is “owned by Jews.” Not even the Z-word, that last one. Not even Israel. Just… Jews. Ali also posts a picture of an armed man in what looks like a Hamas headband, captioning it: “Long live the Resistance.” If it is a Hamas headband, this may actually be a criminal offense. Ali has since apologized “for any offense or distress caused” and said she rejects “anti-Semitism in all its forms.”

Other Green candidates give new meaning to the term “ecowarrior.” Rebecca Jones, standing for the party in Blackheath, Lewisham, says we must “burn Zionism to the ground.” Jones is a practicing NHS GP.

Sabine Mairey, another Lambeth Green candidate, posts a video saying a terror attack on a synagogue “was not anti-Semitism” but “revenge” against Israel. Ifhat Shaheen, a Green candidate in Hackney, says the mass murder, rape and abduction of civilians on October 7 was just Palestinians “inevitably try[ing] to defend themselves.” Feda Shahin, a candidate in Bournemouth, claims “the Zionists killed 20 million Christians.”
