Green Party Leader Faces Backlash Over Anti-Semitism Accusations

Israel's deputy foreign minister Sharon Haskell called him an extremist for what she sees as fueling anti-semitism in Britain. Polansky also posted about opponents playing politics with anti-semitism accusations and push for pro-Palestinian protests to continue. Leasing heat from police, Jewish groups, and even folks in his own party, he apologized within 24 hours, saying social media wasn't the place. For snap judgments on cop actions, Prime Minister Keir Starmer jumped in before the apology, calling Polansky's move disgraceful, and saying he's unfit to lead any party. Haskell dismissed the sorry as too little to late, warning and normalizes hate, and even told Britain's Jewish community to consider moving to Israel.

The Greens fired back, standing with the Jewish community against the Golders Green Horror, while slamming Israel's actions in Gaza and beyond, as interference in UK elections. Britain stay high as everyone calls for cooling the rhetoric.
