I'm aware of this. I consider it wise to reserve judgement until all enquiries and due process are complete. Flintoff has his own axes to grind.

Crispin Flintoff writes:

'Today it emerged that Tony Greenstein has been suspended by the Green Party on the basis of an alleged 'history of antisemitism, including court decisions and recent terrorism charges'.

Many people know Tony as someone who is blunt, fiercely outspoken and, at times, too prickly for some tastes. But to label him antisemitic when he is himself Jewish, and the son of a rabbi, is an extraordinary step and one that raises very serious questions.

And the 'terrorism' label also sits uncomfortably with anyone who opposes the misuse of the Terrorism Act to silence opposition to the genocide in Gaza.

Labour's witch-hunt of Jewish anti-Zionists began with the expulsion of Tony Greenstein. The question now is whether the Green Party is becoming similarly unsafe for anti-Zionists.'
