Il vice leader verde Mothin Ali difende i commenti sul rabbino Leeds – BBC News

The Rabbi went to Israel to help the IDF murder children and commit a genocide.

He’s a security threat and definitely not becoming of a chaplain.

>”You should be protecting people. You should be protecting students from **this kind of animal,** because if he’s willing to kill people over there, how do you know he’s not going to kill your students over here?”

=======================

>Separately, Ali apologised for the “short sightedness” of a post he made the day after the 7 October attacks, where he said “indigenous people have the right to fight back” and called for an end to “white supremacist European settler colonialism”.

>Speaking to the BBC, Ali argued he had not been referencing the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians – killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.

Contrast the tone between talking about a Jew who was involved in the conflict and the Muslim involved in the conflict.

Observe that while the majority of Jews in Israel are descended from refugees from Muslim majority countries, Mr Ali regards them are “European” “white” and “settler colonists”. Any Jew who went to defend their country is an “animal”.

>”We shouldn’t conflate what’s happening in Israel to British Jews her – I think that is irresponsible.

Yet any Jew who shows any kind of solidarity with Israel is a “Zionist”. We regularly see calls for violence on them,

Mr Ali believes Jews can be grouped into those who are obedient to Muslims and reject any kind of Jewish state and those who are not, who are animals. We have just seen an attack on disobedient Jews who were supporting Israel, the synagogue in Manchester.

So we must treat such Jews as “animals” according to Mr Ali. But he seems “surprised” when Jihadis then try to intervene in the “genocide” by attacking the “animals” facilitating it.

>Green Party leader Zack Polanski stood by Ali in an interview on the morning of the party’s annual conference, saying his views needed to seen in context that “this Rabbi went off to fight for the IDF, he was actively recruiting for people to engage in a genocide”.

“Settler colonism”, “Europeans”, “animals”, “genocide”. These are their views of disobedient Jews. Now they cry that it is conflating Jews with Israel to say people who hold such views should refrain from protesting for a couple of days?

I think the Green party can do better.

He did a good thing helping during a car crash or something like that but he doesn’t strike me as the brightest bulb.

Stop letting religion be a protected characteristic. Stop being soft on people who use their religious beliefs as a crutch to allow them to do horrific things. Start taking a hardline(deportations/prison) for people who say aggressive things in the name of their religion. Start to close down any mosques, or other religious places that have extremists or any of the above linked to them. No chances. If one fucks it, everyone suffers, make their own communities police them better.

He makes a solid point, I would agree brits shouldn’t be allowed to fight abroad for a foreign army committing war crimes to then return home and go unpunished.

However, it is presumed there are between 150-400 british muslims went to fight for ISIS and came back. If we were to deal with IDF volunteers then there would have to be prope investigations then a reckoning about them too.

Then there is the issue of brave brits going to fight for Ukrainian legions, Kurdish defence groups etc. Not legal but morally righteous.

I think the government would rather just sweep all this under the carpet than open the massive can of worms that this is.

i think it’s wrong of Ali to describe the rabbi as an “animal” and I’m broadly against any “if it was another minority…” argument.

I do however think that ppl signing up to take part in a genocide, should be subject to significant scrutiny (if not prosecuted).

This guy is probably the number 1 reason to not vote for the green party.
