Who’s afraid of Zack Polanski and why?

JVL Introduction

Vashti Media is publishing a series of articles about the Greens as they surge in popularity and as they become subject to the same  allegations that were relentlessly and recklessly hurled at the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. The first two are ready, this is one and we will publish another tomorrow.

The writer correctly states that: “You would be forgiven for expecting the media to be discouraged from weaponising antisemitism against Polanski, given he is Jewish. Yet the Telegraph has published on average two articles a week since February just on attacking Polanski for his views on Israel and accusing the party of antisemitism, ramping up to an average of one a day in the last week.” (my emph LL) Here Zack’s response to the nasty pieces in the Daily Mail are also noted. Thankfully, despite the intense pressure, Polanski is mainly holding his own against hostile interviewer after hostile interviewer, we welcome this thoughtful approach. Let us support him in this.
