A Green Party election candidate is caught up in an antisemitism storm over social media posts slamming “Jew lovers” and alleging that the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad is behind the Islamic State. The Mailhas the story.
Joe Belcher, who is standing in the Aldridge-Brownhills seat in the West Midlands, also denied a controversial mural showing “hooked-nosed Jewish bankers” playing monopoly off the backs of the poor was “antisemitic”.
Mr. Belcher, the treasurer of the local party branch in Walsall, shared a link to an article by “the real Syrian Free Press” – a pro-Assad website – suggesting ISIS was run by “Simon Elliott, a Mossad agent”.
He also posted other links to pages about “Rothschild bankers” and shared a link to a video by controversialist David Icke, suggesting Jeremy Corbyn might be a “savior [who is] going to turn the country around to a more fair and just society” before he became leader of the Labour Party.
The Green Party told MailOnline that “allegations of antisemitism will always be carefully considered using our robust internal disciplinary procedures”.
But a spokesman declined to say whether Mr. Belcher was facing disciplinary proceedings after we presented him with our dossier. …
He is the latest party candidate to express extreme views. …
Last week, a controversial Green Party councillor who shouted “Allahu Akbar” after being elected to a city council repeated the declaration of faith, boasting it had made him “infamous”.
Mothin Ali, who has previously claimed Hamas “had a right to fight back” against Israel, claimed he was being made a “scapegoat” to distract from “war crimes” being committed in Gaza. …
Amid fears of a rise in sectarian politics fuelled by the crisis in the Middle East, former Labour Cabinet minister Lord Mandelson accused the Greens of becoming a “dustbin” for “disgruntled hard-leftists”.

There is some connection between ISIS & Mossad & CIA. Not sure if they ‘run them’ as mentioned; more like an out of control train that is outgrown its uses.
An ISIS and Mossad connection? Did Al Jazeera tell you that? Mind you, word on the street is that the pilot of the chopper that crashed and killed ‘The Butcher of Tehran’ was a Zionist. His name was Eli Copter, so nothing would surprise me anymore. Perhaps he’s writhing around in the pits of hell with his 72yr old virgin as a reward.
This Belcher bloke could not be better named, really. Okay, maybe if his first name was Richard. Then I could say he’s evidently full of piss and wind, but I’ll have to make do with 50% of that. However, it does seem to be a prerequisite of the Green Party that in order to be a member one must be a complete dicksplash.
You know you’ve hit rock bottom when Peter Mandelson is critical of you.

The DS is really scraping the barrel in order to try and discredit those who object to the continuing Genocide in Palestine. Just look at the relative death rates even since 1948. And learn some history.
The moral gymnastics of some on here is a sight to behold.
The only coherent reason I can think of for the morally abhorrent defence of Israel is that you’ve been brainwashed by Zionists since the end of WW2. The MSM – controlled by Zionists, Soros ( who most of you rightly hate ), a Zionist, every USA President controlled by Zionists, the Federal Bank the same, Hollywood – boasts about being virtually all Zionists and last but not least, the Real Rulers of the World ie the Banking families,, all Zionists – the Rockefellers excepted although they created the dominance of Bigpharma, just to make money, think about that – vaccines for all.
Yet you cheer Israel on.
Disgusting.
Don’t just downtick, tell me why I’m wrong.
Genocide is portrayed best by Hamas stated aim of wiping out every Jew on the Planet. The opposite is best illustrated by Israel’s demonstrable aim of telling Hamas and the citizens in advance what they intend to do. They do that in order to not wipe everyone out, they go to greater lengths than any other country I know of to not kill innocent people. If some do get killed it is unfortunate but it is also down to Hamas who hide beneath Mothers skirts in civilian areas.
You can sit there and talk bollocks all day long but it does not make any of what you said mean anything more than the stuff flushed down the toilet. As for your diatribe about Zionists, well, the less said the better on that one: your bathroom floor needs a good clean, you badly missed the target.
However, do please come back when you have grown up and are nappy trained.
One reason may be that we contrast Judaism with izlam and find that Jews are on the whole creative, talented, hard-working, self-sufficient, like to mind their own business about religion, like to integrate into the society they live in and don’t scream on the streets that Judaism is going to rule your country and the whole f****ing world.
Wow, the Keyboard Kowards are out in force today, you must have really hit some nerves!

Mark Steyn on Trump
“The US has a population of somewhere around 330 to 335 million people. So take that entire population and let us speculate as regards this question: ‘What is the sample size or number of people who meet the following test – until the age of 75 they have never been charged with any criminal offence and certainly no serious indictable offences. Nothing at all. And then, after they turn 75 years old, they later get charged in four distinct US jurisdictions, in separate cases, that allege different and distinct indictable offences in all those places?’
The law is being trimmed to fit the man. Much of America is now institutionally rotted to the core: millions of citizens seem to have internalised that but reckon that, if they just keep their heads down, maybe it’ll be the guy three doors down who catches the state’s eye. You’ll understand that, after twelve years in the DC Superior Court, I’m less sanguine about that”
Why don’t thick kiddies like Belcher realise that the election is in the UK and not the Middle East and that this country has multiple, serious problems of its own? Obviously this country’s issues are being generated by the Davos Deviants but for the majority of the population the problem is an incompetent tory government.
This silly chap believes the planet is in the last chance saloon but his electioneering seems to involve a battle against Israel. He needs to get his priorities in order. Bloody stupid nutter.
“Bloody stupid nutter” is a lifestyle choice these days for most politicians and ‘activists’. Would make an excellent 3-word slogan like ‘Just Stop Oil’, ‘Black Lives Matter’…et al.
Netanyahu ensured Hamas was funded for years so it wouldn’t be a surprise if ISIS turned out to be an asset. ISIS doesn’t attack Israel, but they do have an excuse for that: Palestine isn’t the Muslims ‘primary cause’.
What is more of a concern than a green party candidate is the Israeli government that we are supporting and will probably continue to support regardless of who is elected. Let’s hope the Israelis get their own house in order.
“Last Saturday night, the country was in turmoil after a couple of Bibi-ists beat up Gadi Kedem, who lost his family in the October 7 massacre, until he was bleeding from his head. “It’s a good thing they killed your children, you traitor whore,” they cursed at his wife Reuma before the attack – that is, before one of them, Uri Harush, kicked Kedem in the head as he lay on the ground, all while gleefully filming himself celebrating the kick.”
“The State of Israel is in existential danger due to the Bibi-ist movement. The October 7 war is just the promo for what is happening and will happen here until we find a way to dismantle this movement and free ourselves from the cult’s grip on the state’s institutions and leadership. It’s not certain that we will win the war. We may have already passed the point of no return.”
I never equated funding to running. However, an organisation does not need to be ‘run’ if it already does what you need it to, but will need funding to keep doing it.

If he suddenly falls out of a high window whilst accidentally shooting himself in the back of the head six times then I might believe that Mossad has something to do with it.
Relatively seriously: If Mossad is doing the sort of shit that he claims they wouldn’t hesitate to make him disappear.
“Lord Mandelson accused the Greens of becoming a “dustbin” for “disgruntled hard-leftists”.” …… who until fairly recently would have been very welcome in the Labour Party ….. and some, like Dianne Abbott, still are.

In my view, that’s one of the few sensible things Mandelson has ever said.

Can’t believe the number of downticks on your post! It made me chuckle and I’ll always uptick humorous jibes.
Has DS been invaded by a bunch of dicksplash anti-Semitic Green Corbynistas? (aka Cabbage-Heads)
Yes.

Well said. The DS sadly slipped straight into m.s.m.mode after 7/10/23

There’s a huge difference between ‘funding’ and ‘running’. I used to help fund National Trust but I sure as hell didn’t run it.
I’m sure many organisations are funded by people hoping to remain in the loop over their next steps. Sometimes it works…
I never equated funding to running. However, an organisation does not need to be ‘run’ if it already does what you need it to, but will need funding to keep doing it.

Mossad is behind ISIS.
