Green Party Deputy Leader Joins Pro-Tehran Demonstration

Zack Polanski’s Green Party deputy, Mothin Ali – who defended Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel – has been pictured at a protest in support of the Iranian regime on Saturday. The Mail has the story.

The Greens leader was last year urged to sack Ali after his deputy defended Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel.

Commenting on Ali’s appearance at the rally, former security minister Tom Tugendhat accused the Green Party of standing “with those who murder young Iranians seeking a better life and freedom”.

Ali said: “You can’t bomb a democracy into existence – the US and its proxies should have learned that lesson by now.”

No, but you can bomb a murderous dictator out of existence. And then suggest to whomever replaces him that he consider abandoning his predecessor’s policy of making a mortal enemy out of the world’s most powerful nation.

Meanwhile, Polanski has called on Keir Starmer to condemn the strikes on Iran after branding the US and Israel “rogue states”.

Appearing on BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, the Green Party leader said: “I need to see the Prime Minister get out on TV and condemn these illegal and unprovoked strikes.

“I need to see the Prime Minister talk about de-escalation, and I need to see a disentanglement of this country with the military, with the US, which I think is pulling us into a more dangerous position.”

The Mail‘s report – part of its series on the “rise of the Green Menace” – is worth reading in full.

We don’t expect anything else from the Eloi Party. Of course it supports a regime which, as a matter of policy, organises the rape of prisoners prior to execution in order to prevent them from going to heaven. So of course Zack Polanski supports such a regime.

The Greens and Muslims are a match made in heaven.

The Greens are supposedly all about environmental protection and Muslims, famously known for their commitment to environmental protection, are their natural allies.

No sorry, got that wrong, let me try again.

The Greens are supposedly all about egalitarianism and Muslims, famously known for their commitment to egalitarianism as evidenced by all those egalitarian Muslim countries, are their natural allies.

No, that doesn’t sound right either. Let me have another go.

The Greens are supposedly all about social liberalism especially gay and trans rights and Muslims, famously known for their commitment to social liberalism especially gay and trans rights, are their natural allies.

No that’s not right either…

Can someone help me out here?

Convenient bedfellows for now, but what will one think of the other when the chips are down, and which will emerge on top…?

I wonder… 🤔

Do the rapists go to heaven? This would explain a great deal about the rapist grooming gangs. Perhaps their motives are spiritual?

I just can’t get my head around it. I’ve tried for months, if not years, watching the likes of Jonathan Lys and others on GBNews. For some reason, if you are a socialist, gay or Jewish, you are supportive of extremists, if you are all three, you are totally committed to their causes. History has shown how these rogue states and the Islamic Republics murder gays, Jews and socialists, so what common cause do they think they have. It is suicidal empathy to the most extreme degree.

In the modern world the Eloi love and support the Morlocks. It’s an expression of their death-wish.

Simple answer: Opposition to whatever Trump does.

Slightly more complicated answer: The UN was founded with the intent to “end war.” It’s charta demands that countries shall resolve conflicts peacefully throuhh negotations and that military operations shall not take place except in self-defense or if authorized by the UN secturity council. USA, Israel and Iran are all UN member states which have agreed to be bound by this charta. The attack on Iran is against this charta and according to it, Iran is acting in legitimate self-defense. That’s the so-called rule based international order and to left-wing, that is, internationalist politicians, it’s more important than how government of foreign states deal with insurrections. Especially considering that the military operation against Iran won’t help these anymore, anyway and that it’s uncertain if it will ever accomplish something beyond material damage and human deaths.

Left-wing ideology also states that “material damage and human deaths” is all wars ever accomplish.

But the UN fails to acknowledge von Clausewitz – war is the pursuit of politics by other means. So when jawing at the UN fails to achieve anything, taking action to sort it out comes next. You can’t get anywhere with muslim terrorists or the Far Left so take them out. It lies behind Ukraine as well when Putin got fed up with being strung along while Zelensky’s goons shelled Russians in the Donbas.

That’s obviously the opinion of people like Trump and Putin but not of everybody else. Polanski and – more generally – people in favour of the UN model don’t believe that wars can accomplish anything positive and would probably even prefer a failure which occurred according to the book to a success achieved against it because to them, the book is the most important thing and anything else will eventually be sorted out by more negotiations.

I’m not argueing in favour of either approach, just pointing out that people can reasons to oppose Trump’s action towards Iran regardless of how the rulers of Iran would treat or do treat anyone.

WW2 ended Nazism in the West and Japanese Imperialsim in the East. It was a fight to the death and precipitated by the beligerants. Japan had a head start in Manchuria and German warmed up with the bombing of Guernica. The Korean War stopped Russia and China occupying all of Korea The Malayan Emergency stopped Marxist revolutionaries The Falklands War stopped Argentinian colonialsim and ended that dictatorship. The SAS and Paras ended the para military gangs terrorising Sierra Leonne The Yugoslav conflict ended the genocide that was taking place. On the other hand Left Wing ideology is all for armed conflict and the overthrow of capitalism by force. It is only the left that talk about ‘come the Revolution you will be first up against the wall’. There have been 32 Military Coups in Africa (look at the weapon of choice – AK47), there is the ongoing Naxalite–Maoist insurgency in India, the 45 left wing or Marxist guerrilla groups in South and Central America (there are only 3 US backed guerrilla groups); In other words the deliberate destabilization of sovereign countries. “While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State” –… Read more »

Minus being a bunch of historic inaccuracies and glaring ommisions I don’t want to discuss here again, I have no idea what this text is supposed to communicate in the given context.

I’ll be honest: if you’re a fan of ’80s music you might just dig this reworking of a classic. Yes, it’s A Flock of Eagles and their big hit: Iran ( So Far Away ). I just really like his hair and signature Trump dance! LOL;

I think their one piece of common ground is that they want revolutionise our society to disrupt the power structure and put themselves on top.

I suppose they can be allies until they approach their goal and then would instantly become enemies.

It’s a shame the Iran war occured after the Gorton & Denton by-election, given the result.

If you’re ideologically driven enough to vote for the Greens, given what was already known about them, then their stance on the current situation wouldn’t make you bat an eyelid. In fact, you’d agree with whatever the Greens come out with.

Some like everything green, before assessing the risk of it. But look at the Japanese Knotweed plant when allowed to grow here. It could be a useful political synonym.

Not really very good as your intended analogy, because Japanese Knotweed is no more destructive (actually less so) than ivy. But it has been a very lucrative plant for lawyers and insurance companies and busy bodies in planning departments.

One of my favourite espionage authors, Ted Allbeury (far superior to Fleming and Le Carre in my view), wrote an excellent book back in the 80s entitled “All Our Tomorrows” where the Soviets are invited by a failing UK government to come in and take over the running of the country. The story is fast paced, equally entertaining, appalling, funny and pensive. But there is one little scene which I was reminded of by Comrade Polanski’s naive stupidity where a die-hard communist union leader presents himself to the Soviet chief, expecting to be welcomed and awaiting further instruction. He is hustled off by two burly and unsympathetic KGB henchmen to the gulags without further ado. They never learn, these purblind fools.

GREENS (REDS) are just professional supporters of every minority, every alleged victim, every lost cause, every absurd gender nonsense, every phoney climate fraud, every tyranny in the world as long as they are not Christian ones and basically every single thing that no one in their right mind supports, except those who have bee temporarily brainwashed into thinking all of that clutter has something to do with “fairness” or “equality”.——But the GREENS (REDS) will soon be yesterdays fashion and will go the same way as Platform Shoes and Bell Bottom Trousers.
