Green Party activists brand Jews ‘abomination to this planet’ in leak | Politics | News
Shocking antisemitic comments have surfaced in leaked WhatsApp messages from a pro-Palestine faction inside the Green Party, prompting fresh accusations of deep-rooted hatred within the party. Activists in the group Greens for Palestine described Jewish people as โan abomination to this planetโ and accused them of murdering, bombing and starving children.
One participant insisted on openly identifying protesters in Golders Green as Jews rather than Zionists, declaring: โThey were Jews and we shouldnโt be afraid to say it. They were Jewish supremacists.โ The exchange escalated with the claim: โEnough of being scared of hurting their feelings while they murder, bomb and starve children.โ
Another member added: โThey are an abomination to this planet,โ while a further comment called for activists to โtake back the narrative and the true meaning of the terms, particularly zionism and semite.โ
Separately, one activist linked to the group suggested the arson attack on four Hatzolah ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity in Golders Green was a โfalse flagโ operation, potentially staged by Jewish people themselves.
The individual shared news coverage of the incident and noted: โI saw somebody recently say that false flags were coming.โ
Tope Olawoyin, standing as a Green council candidate in Havering in the May 7 local elections, amplified conspiracy theories on X, reported GB News. She shared material claiming โproof that the Golders Green ambulance attack was an inside jobโ and reposted content labelling the arson a โfalse flagโ that had proved โa monumental disaster.โ
After the Metropolitan Police arrested two British men aged 47 and 45 on suspicion of the attack, Ms Olawoyin wrote: โI can say with almost absolute certainty that the men arrested are white, probably even Jewish, because we all know for a fact that if they werenโt their names and pictures would be EVERYWHERE.โ
The suspects, both British nationals, were later released on bail as the investigation continues. Police have treated the early-morning blaze, which destroyed ambulances parked near a synagogue in north London, as an antisemitic hate crime.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned the messages as โstraight out of Nazi Germanyโ and confirmed its lawyers are examining the remarks. A spokesman said: โThe real question is whether the Green Party is going to do anything about people who believe Jews are an abomination… Doing nothing will be the real abomination.โ
Labour peer Lord Katz called the evidence โdeeply troubling,โ while Conservative chairman Kevin Hollinrake labelled the language โutterly appallingโ and accused the Greens of tolerating antisemitism.
Greens for Palestine rejected the interpretation, insisting the โabominationโ comment referred only to Zionists and related to the situation in Gaza, not Jewish people as a whole.
The disclosures emerge despite a recent briefing from Green co-leader Zack Polanski warning activists against posting material that could be portrayed as antisemitic. The document advised members not to โtake the baitโ from opponents who would smear them as โunpleasant, vengeful anti-Semites.โ Mr Polanski authored the document to protect the party’s reputation.
As reported by GB News, the leaks have intensified scrutiny on the partyโs handling of extremism ahead of the local elections.
A Green Party spokesman said: “This exchange does not represent Green Party views.
“It is not a green party group but we have asked the group to take it down.”
