Quick Summary

Critics are alleging an "Islamo-Leftist" takeover of the UK Green Party after anti-Zionist-backed candidates were elected to nearly every internal committee during the party’s conference in Brighton. Greens for Palestine, a pro-Palestinian activist group that supports the controversial “Zionism is Racism” motion, used social media to urge members to vote for its recommended candidates. As voting concluded, more than half of these endorsed individuals secured positions on targeted committees despite representing less than 0.5% of party membership. This development has raised concerns among Jewish Green Party members and prompted criticism from figures like former deputy leader Shahrar Ali about the growing influence of factionalism within the party.

Story summary

Critics argue that an "Islamo-Leftist" takeover of the Green Party in the UK is "well under way," following elections this weekend at the party's conference in Brighton. The election saw candidates backed by Greens for Palestine, a group known for its anti-Zionist stance, securing positions on nearly every internal committee they contested. During the voting process, Greens for Palestine urged members to vote for their recommended candidates via messaging and social media campaigns. More than half of the candidates endorsed by this faction now hold positions on key decision-making committees within the party. The group openly declared its goal to "build an Anti-Zionist Green Party," leading some to view it as a significant shift in the party's direction. Shahrar Ali, former deputy leader of the Greens, described this outcome as a consequence of increasing factionalism in the party over several years.

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: 'When a movement openly campaigning to be 'Anti-Zionist' succeeds in getting at least half of its candidates elected to every committee they contested, it is no longer credible to dismiss antisemitism as a fringe faction.
