On April 26, the Green Party faces backlash for picking local election candidates who push anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, even while touting. Compassion on their flyers. Reports highlight prospects like Aziz Hakimi and Camden, who shared claims blaming Zionists for the 9-11 attacks and back-to-moss. Meanwhile, Raja Atik in Walsall called Jews cockroaches after October 7, and Fatah Shaheen in Bournemouth accused Zionists of killing 20. Million Christians in the Soviet Union and loving genocide. Labour leaders in Camden slammed these posts as of Horan, and groups like the campaign against anti-Semitism demand the party boot these candidates. Before next month's polls, where Greens expect big seat gains. One candidate, Saika Ali and Lambeth, posted about Zionists overrun government and a snake image tied to Israel, but she quit the race, rejecting anti-Semitism outright. The Greens say they're investigating, removing the posts, and stress these views don't match party values, as nominations close before some.

Discovery's elections heat up regardless.
