There is a suggestion of Islamophobia with the depiction that Palestinians are a problem for him and maybe any politicians allowing them a view. Satire the other way would very quickly be labelled anti Semitic, hence Steve Bell, the previous Guardian cartoonist, sacked for satirising Israel.

Yes for encouraging Palestinian sympathisers in to the Green Party. I.e. no party should accept them because they could express views that might upset Israel. The Guardian sacked their previous cartoonist as daring to satirise Israel was deemed anti Semitic. Use the same measuring stick for both.

The problem is satire only seems to be acceptable in one direction; it would be called anti Semitic if that had been Kier Starmer or Andy Burnham portrayed with Israeli baggage for sure. It would be fine if we were free satire Zionism in the same way. Remember Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell.

Bin/backpack its still insinuating that Palestinians having a say about the racist actions of Zionists is a problem ZP has to carry around with him. Its media choice which one they focus on. leftfootforward.org/2026/08/zack...

What's more important, allowing Palestinians to have view or blocking them from having a say because of a biased media. Palestinians have as much right to a view as Zionists. If I decided to draw a similar cartoon of Andy Burnham with Israeli flags as baggage I would lose my job.

Not so much antisemitism but Islamophobia (portraying Palestinian views as baggage).

The Telegraph are hypocrites. Smearing people who call out Israel while publishing antisemitic and Islamophobic cartoons. Glad we are boycotting them until they’ve apologised.

What we need @zackpolanski.bsky.social is an intra-party "citizens' assembly" to decide policy going forward... Top-down policy-making that bypasses one-member, one-vote, leads to donor influence, stuffed brown envelopes, corporate lobbying, etc. The decision-making must remain informed & anonymous.

Neither was Hitler, but still we still shared what was available. That's a little bit at odds with your leader who claims to want an end neo-liberalism and austerity. Is Burnham fooling us by any chance.

Taxing some of the huge personal and corporate wealth in this country is a start, as has been mentioned in previous comments. Funny how Trump and Russia doesn't seem to affect the living standards of the wealthiest. We managed to look after the poorest in the 2nd world war why not now.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?
Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it

A rare sighting in British media. An opinion piece backing the "Zionism is racism" position and arguing that Polanski's mistake was not coming out to support it. Good work, Martin Shipton!

Green members don't have a problem with Caroline Lucas, they have not said a word about her. She was the one who chose to brief against her own leader elected by the membership.

lindas200.bsky.social @lindas200.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
If Caroline Lucas has a problem with Zack Polanski then she has a problem with most of the membership. The Labour Party would be a good fit where members can be ignored and establishment friendly policies are imposed for a quite life.

OK, that was 2017. I am asking about funding at the moment, since they separated from Labour, other than from membership fees and donations. Personally I see no problem with their support of Zack Polanski.

lindas200.bsky.social @lindas200.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I was already aware of the political leanings; not so sure about how unions are funding them now and what these grants are. There must be some record of it and I can't find it. That's my question to you
100
lindas200.bsky.social @lindas200.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I can't see anything about funding other than donations and membership fees from supporters mentioned in their website. Unions and the LP were affiliates but that ended in 2025. Nothing sinister I can see and not surprised they back the Greens as they are socialist and pro-Palestinian party.

I think Andy Burnham forgets that democracy within the Green Party determine which motions pass not the leader. Makes you wander why Labour have a conference when their leader decides all. Maybe its for networking instead.

I hope she campaigns for the same compassionate treatment and opportunities for today's asylum seekers that she received. If she does and also votes against Rosebank, as she indicated she would on LBC during the bi-election, she could be on a collision course with the LP. Interesting watch.
