As Palestine Action members went on trial today for attacking security guards with kebab skewers, English Green Party leader Zack Polanski used his conference speech to call for the violent direct action group to be de-proscribed.

I can say I am a Zionist in the sense that I believe Israel has a right to exist within the 1967 borders (as does Palestine FWIW). But the moment I use that word, the average Green thinks I support the genocide of Palestinian people, which is an absolutely mad, unfounded, and deeply offensive leap.

This really could be the undoing of Zack Polanski. Caroline Lucas, the much respected Ex-party leader has described the motion as "divisive" and "not helpful". This isn't something Polanski can just brush aside and only days away from his by-election. This could be embarrassing for him.

It’s not going to work. The far right like hard men. The black-shorts joined up because they wanted the reflected glory of “Danny Tommo” to make them look hard. They don’t want to be associated with a cry baby. If he thinks this will get sympathy he’s seriously screwed up.
