Show Notes
Family members of Green Party leader Zack Polanski, a Jewish man from Salford, express concern as the party may adopt anti-Israel positions that clash with their heritage. The partys spring conference will vote on a motion calling Zionism racism, pushing for sanctions against Israel, and ignoring common definitions of anti-Semitism. Critics argue this shift marks a move away from the Greens environmental focus, attracting far-left and Islamist activists. Polanskis family members, including his mother, are divided, with some no longer speaking to him due to the partys direction. The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism accuses the party of amplifying anti-Jewish rhetoric, as conference motions focus on issues like closing London City Airport and quitting NATO, rather than the environment. Polanskis party spokesman defends him, calling criticism anti-Semitic harassment.
