After receiving a dossier indicating that MP candidates had exchanged conspiracy theories and antisemitic remarks online, the Green Party decided to look into the matter.
Last night, the party had staff looking into files of nearly 20 general election candidates who have shared horrific material online, according to The Times.
MailOnline previously revealed Joe Belcher, who is standing in the Aldridge-Brownhills seat in the West Midlands, authored posts blasting ‘Jew lovers’.
Later, the party suspended him and he was no longer allowed to run for parliament.
Now it has emerged that other candidates have posted similar – and in some cases arguably worse – material online, including claims that the October 7 attacks were a ‘false flag’ orchestrated by Israel.
Adam Pugh, the candidate for Deptford and Lewisham North in London, posted ‘I hope [Royal Navy Ships] sink’ with a prayer emoji when it was announced they were being sent to support Israel.
Extraordinarily, when three other candidates were accused of antisemitism, he posted: ‘Either they haven’t discovered my tweets yet, or I’m not being vocal enough.’
A spokesman for the party told The Times the allegations were ‘serious and are being treated as such’.
They went on to state that decisions are still being made on the final candidate list before the deadline of 5 p.m.
The tide of antisemitism accusations stemmed from controversy which erupted at the May local elections.
Green Party councillor Mothin Ali, who won in a ward in Leeds, said Palestinians has the right to ‘fight back’ – referring to the October 7 massacre.
He shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ after being elected to a city council, boasting it had made him ‘infamous’.
Ali claimed he was being made a ‘scapegoat’ to distract from ‘war crimes’ being committed in Gaza.
His unapologetic appearance at a small rally in his native Leeds – shared on his social media channels – came after British Jewish leaders accused the Green Party of ‘hypocrisy’ for not suspending him over his ‘extremist nonsense’.
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’.
Ali later expressed regret and made it clear that he opposes violence. Still, this was just the start.
On October 7, another candidate, Pugh, wrote: ‘You don’t have to be neutral when it comes to apartheid, colonisation and genocide, I don’t care what anyone says. I promise you, you don’t.’
Additionally, a tweet by Pugh quoting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the six-month anniversary of October 7 was discovered by MailOnline.
Pugh commented: ‘There is no ‘war’ in Gaza. Israel are committing genocide and you are enabling them, you despicable terrorist sympathiser.’
In January, he posted: ‘I want David Cameron (among others) to be chased to the ends of the earth for their complicity in this GENOCIDE of the Palestinian people.
‘May these people never know peace or rest.’
The Green candidate for Brent East in west London, Nida Alfulaij, liked tweets that suggested that the US was the terrorist organisation, not Hamas.
This is basically a bunch of nutters attempting to think without a brain cell.
It’s hard to know who to vote for these days because we are being infiltrated by antisemitism, hostility and prejudice. It might seem subtle at the moment, but once it manifests itself and rears its ugly head, there will be major conflicts on the streets of the UK, and our government and police will do nothing about it, other than raising their hands and shouting ‘Heil Hitler’, and Jews all over the UK should be very afraid.
Religion and politics don’t mix and never should, but sadly, this is what’s occurring as the nation grows more and more diverse, and there will be difficult times ahead. Yawn today and Hamas will be in power in the UK tomorrow – they may as well allow the National Front to run for Prime Minister the way this lot is going – oh sorry, that’s already happening right under our noses! Soon we will have extremists dressing up, looking like law-abiding citizens, pretending that they care when all they want to do is cause extreme chaos.
I was going to vote in the General Election. Now, I don’t think so. I know many people out there will say that if I don’t vote I don’t have a say. I do have a say, I’m a British citizen. I was born and bred in the UK. I pay my taxes, therefore I still have a say!
