‘Monster Raving’ Tony Greenstein Welcomed into the Green Party.
“The JC understands that Greenstein attended a pre-conference workshop organised by Greens for Palestine about the antizionist motion due to be debated this weekend.
His attendance at the online meeting has fuelled fears that the party is becoming a magnet for those expelled from Labour during the height of its antisemitism crisis.”
“Now Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL), the far-left campaign group formerly known as Jewish Voice for Labour is urging its supporters to join the Jewish Greens in order to reshape its direction.
In a message to members, JVL said: “Jewish Greens are at present controlled by a group of ‘Liberal’ Zionists.”
“If you are a Jewish member of the Greens please consider joining them so we can move the group in the progressive antizionist direction.”
Some background (there’s a lot more on tea-leafing and harassment which one could add).
“Greenstein was barred from joining the Labour Party in 2015 and then joined following the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader.[11] He was suspended in 2016 regarding accusations of antisemitism and then expelled in February 2018 after a review by Labour’s National Constitutional Committee.[12] In 2019, Greenstein sued the Campaign Against Antisemitism for libel over its claim that he was a “notorious antisemite”.[13] The High Court dismissed the claim in 2020.[14] Greenstein had previously co-founded Labour Against the Witchhunt and told a Jewish Voice for Labour meeting during the 2018 Labour Party Conference that charges of antisemitism in the UK Labour Party were designed to destabilise Corbyn.[15]
In December 2021 Greenstein accepted a two-year restraining order in return for the Crown Prosecution Service dropping two charges of harassment against the Labour party’s disputes team. The restraint order prevented him from further contacting the disputes team.[16][17] “
