The #UK #GreenParty leader #ZackPolanski is the only #British politician who was stately today following the attack on a synagogue in #Manchester. His very being, as a #gay #Jew who's eloquently vocal about the rights of #Palestine, makes the point of #antisemitism and #islamophobia being 2 sides of the same coin. Meanwhile, the so-called #Labour government says it would be "unbritish" to demonstrate for #PalestineAction tomorrow given the attack: irresponsible conflation.
