The Jewish Greens already managed to previously filibuster the Zionism is Racism motion.
Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Green 'friends of genocide' table anti-Canary motion for party conference

I know this stuff is important, but I really wish that news outlets stopped reporting on motions tabled by a few rogue members of parties. Many people will see these headlines and think that this is a party policy or something like that.

From what I hear from within the party, it’s just two members that seem to be actively pulling the old hasbara levers. The rest of the Jewish Greens are an even split of ‘moderate’ Zionists and pro-Palestine Jews.
My only only caveat is that this is what I hear through internal gossip. So who knows how accurate that is. From personal experience all of the active members in my constituency are strongly pro-Palestine. Some ran afoul of the spurious antisemitism claims in the lead up to the council elections in May.

Any person who remains member of a hardcore Zionist pro genocide group like that is a Zionist.

The Canary is basically a sixth form junior common room newsletter. They’re also about to shut down due to financial and managerial incompetence. So they’re being particularly sensitive to any criticism.

If they support genocide and Israel those members should be fired but it seem this is another zionist org pretending to be jewish

“those members should be fired”, they’re not employees, they’re people who have joined the party to vote on policy etc. I assume that the pro-genocide people mentioned here joined the greens just to try and gum up the works.

What do you mean “pretending”? Are you denying they are Jewish?

They pretend to be about serving the jewish population but they are serving the Zionist agenda which is harmful to jews all over the world that have noting to do with zionists

Around 85% of Jews worldwide are Zionist. You are denying these people their own identity to fit a wishfull thinking narrative.
This is what they are using their identity for. It is up to the Jewish community to ostricize these people if they truly are not Jewish.
