Lydia Conwell#CrispinFlintoff | Tony Greenstein, anti-Zionist writer and activist, discusses having his bank accounts frozen, along with accounts linked to the Brighton Trust.
An excellent video from #CrispinFlintoff about the failings of #PalestineSolidarityCampaign and their ongoing soft-Zionism.
I really admire #TonyGreenstein. I have one of his books and I really must get round to reading it.
Is today Green Day?
The #GreenParty always do well in local elections, so I'm predicting they will do very well today.
I don't know if they will knock all the #Labour councillors in London off the top spot, but I'm sure they will become a close second.
I don't mind seeing more Green councillors in London, especially since many of the trees down the streets are being brutally hacked down to protect artificially overpriced property values at the bequest of greedy insurance companies.
I don't particularly trust Polanski because he's not an anti-Zionist and they Green did kick #TonyGreenstein -- an actual anti-Zionist -- out of the party. It looks like weaponising antisemitism 2.0, following what happened to Labour.
But I'm sure there are lots of good people in the party, so I hope the Greens do very well today. They are by far the best candidates I can vote for. There are no independents in my area so it's either Greens or the other usual losers.

51. Tony Greenstein on Zionism during the Holocaust
Tony Greenstein: The Israel Lobby is going to attack the Greens with fake anti-Semitism claims like they did the Labour Party.
The Green Party: Suspends Tony Greenstein.
It's problematic for me that Zack Polanski isn't an anti-Zionist, was brought up Zionist. I've long been suspicious of him.
Suspending anti-Zionist members of the party is just the beginning and will likely snowball. In my opinion, it has already gone too far with Greenstein's suspension.
I think a lot of these anti-Zionists would be in Your Party if they hadn't dragged their heels for so long and become stagnant.

Tendance CoatesyTony Greenstein in centre-right Jerusalem Post, “he will fight Green Party suspension”.
The centre right Jerusalem Post normally publishes articles such as this: Am I a Zionist? Why Zionism must remain broader than politics – opinion
Zionism has never been a single, monolithic idea. From the beginning, it has encompassed multiple strands. April 2026.
It is a surprise, and one not widely advertised by the dapper gent himself, to see them give sympathetic coverage to Tony Greenstein. The person who stood, in 2005 in Brighton Pavillion for the Alliance for Green Socialism (188 votes), who was “In 2018, was expelled from the Labour Party for “harassment” and “abusive language” (there is a lot to say on this) and , over allegations of antisemitism.”
Before the present brouhaha about his suspension from the Green Party there was this: “In this context, then, it is entirely relevant to mention that Mr Greenstein has criminal form for brazen deception, having past convictions for credit card theft and subsequent use, vandalism, drug possession and a number of other petty crimes.” 2021, Court of Appeal rules on defence of malice in defamation proceedings and upholds judge’s findings.
Now:
Anti-Zionist Jewish activist Tony Greenstein tells ‘Post’ he will fight Green Party suspension. Jerusalem Post.
“He hypothesized that his suspension resulted from him being the “most prominent of the Jewish anti-Zionists who joined the Green Party.”
“I don’t complain about being singled out. I hope that the process stops with me since it is contrary to natural justice and the facts,” he added.
Tony Greenstein, suspended from the Green Party over antisemitism allegations, disputes the accusations in an interview with The Jerusalem Post, vowing to retain his membership.”
“In an email to the Green Party, Greenstein wrote that he “predicted” that lies and smears would begin against him after he weighed in on the Green Party’s “Zionism is Racism” debate. This, as previously covered by the Post, involved a motion that would have ruled Zionism as racism within the party.
The motion was, however, sabotaged via filibustering at the recent party conference and therefore was never voted on – to Greenstein’s chagrin. He soon after wrote an article called “The only form of racism that matters is Zionism racism.”
Greenstein did acknowledge that he has an upcoming trial date on August 18 under the Terrorism Act 2000 but said he is pleading “not guilty.”
“There is no basis to my suspension,” he said, adding that the party is “acting on behalf of supporters of the Gaza genocide.”

Greenstein, 2022, on Ukraine, with David Miller and Chris Williamson.
Greenstein, mates with David Miller (see Iranian state’s Press TV, Decolonization of the Mind 🔻 Former Bristol University professor David Miller goes to Iran to check Western media claims on the country), and Chris Williamson, Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain.
An episode from the colourful career of the suspended Green Party member:
Greenstein wrote this, 24 February 2022
The Blame for the Conflict in Ukraine Belongs Entirely with NATO and the United States
Amongst the responses to this campist cant:
‘Jack Conrad’ wrote in the Weekly Worker, “Comrade Greenstein’s call for “critical support” for Russian forces results from his abandonment of working class politics and his desperate search for a substitute. He calls my criticism of himself and others on the pro-Kremlin left “sectarian”. That is only to be expected.”
On the Anticapitalist Resistance Greenstein wrote a lengthy comment criticising the Fourth International’s solidarity with Ukraine. (A memorandum on the radical anti‑imperialist position regarding the war in Ukraine. Gilbert Achcar).
“tony greenstein
This article is off the wall. There is no comparison between Iraq and Ukraine. the former was a naked imperialist attempt to reconfigure the Middle East. Russia’s attack on the Ukraine is a defensive war. Yet it is wrong and a mistake but not to see it in the context of NATO’s aggressive expansion is absurd.
It isn’t Putin who is expanding to the border of NATO states but the other way around.
As for Donbas and Luhansk, it is for their people to decide their future arranagements not the UN. The UN is a gang of thieves it is not a neutral body. Or has GIlbert forgotten the name of Patrice Lumumba?
This is a neo-imperialist article that puts an = sign between the aggressors and their victims because Russia is a victim of US imperialism.
As for sanctions. there is simply no comparison between BDS in Palestine and South Africa and the Ukraine. In the latter sanctions are war by another means.”

‘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] “

"Corbyn has aligned himself with sexists against a young, politically principled woman MP. Socialists should have no difficulty in deciding where their loyalties lie. Corbyn seems determined to repeat the mistakes which led to his defeat as Labour leader."
