The 'Islamo-Leftist' takeover of the Greens is 'well under way' critics have said after anti-Zionist approved candidates were elected on to nearly every internal Green Party committee.

The Green Party conference this weekend in Brighton saw members voting candidates on to key decision-making committees within the party.

As voting opened, Greens for Palestine – an activist-led group backing the highly contentious 'Zionism is Racism' motion – urged members to vote for its list of recommended candidates through messaging and social media channels.

In a brazen declaration of its intentions, the group stated below the list: 'We are building an Anti-Zionist Green Party.'

With voting drawing to a close, Greens for Palestine-approved members now occupy positions on every committee the group targeted, the Daily Mail can reveal. 

And more than half of the candidates on its list hold positions on internal committees following voting.

A Jewish Green member said last night that the elections reveal the 'Islamo-Leftist' takeover of the Green Party is 'well under way'.

They added: 'Greens for Palestine used their orchestrated online campaign to direct recently joined members to elect over half of committee position from the Palestinian slate.

'This is with less 0.5 per cent of membership vote. I have seen local parties report they are furious and appalled.'

And former deputy leader of the Greens Shahrar Ali called this 'a direct consequence of the increased factionalism that has taken root in the party for several years now'.

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said: 'When a movement openly campaigning to be 'Anti-Zionist' succeeds in getting at least half of its candidates elected to every committee they contested, it is no longer credible to dismiss antisemitism as a fringe faction.

'Strip away the Greens' self-determined image of tolerance, inclusivity, and progressive politics, and a deeply troubling picture emerges.

'Beneath the branding, Zack Polanski is increasingly failing to draw an unequivocal line against those who openly promote hatred of Jewish people.'

A Greens for Palestine spokesperson said: 'Greens For Palestine had a list of recommended candidates for the recent internal committee elections.

'This is relatively common practice and lots of groups within the Green Party do the same.

'The majority of these recommended candidates being elected simply goes to show how strong and united our movement is.

'As has become expected now, the Mail seems to be imagining some grand conspiracy, when really it's simply the work our members have put in paying off.'
