Britain's Green Party to Vote to Back Hamas Terror Attacks
(Daily Mail-UK) Tom Kelly - Britain's Green Party is to vote on a "Zionism is Racism" proposal that would back Hamas terror attacks. If approved, it would become Green policy to support Palestinian "resistance" against Israel "by all available means under international law." One of the motion's champions, barrister Franck Magennis, who has previously tried to get Hamas removed from the UK's terror group list, described this as a "euphemistic way of saying that the Palestinians have a right to armed struggle, and that we should support it." John Mann, the government's independent adviser on antisemitism, said: "It's a support for terrorism and overt racism against Jews. There is no ambiguity. It's from the extreme margins of politics. This is well beyond anything that happened during Labour under Jeremy Corbyn. This makes Corbyn look like a moderate....Greens used to be about stopping fossil fuels and nuclear power and building wind farms. Now hate is bringing members surging into the Green party." Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel told the Daily Mail: "This Green Party motion is one of the most hateful and racist documents I've ever read. It calls for the destruction of Israel and seeks to justify terrorism against Israel. Its intent is to justify the destruction of the Jewish homeland and deny the right of Jews to a national home. The double standards are extraordinary as they demand a national home for Palestinians but not Jews."
