From the Telegraph:
The Green Party member behind the “Zionism is racism” motion is close friends with an al-Qaeda terrorist who plotted to bomb passengers landing at Heathrow from Israel.
Lubna Speitan, a British-Palestinian artist, proposed the controversial motion at the Green Party conference in Brighton, where it was adopted after a vote.
The Left-wing party now formally backs the creation of a single Palestinian state across Israel and deems it “racist” to support the idea of a Jewish homeland in the territory.
It can now be revealed that Ms Speitan offered to testify in the defence of Minh Quang Pham, jailed in the US for a plot to detonate a backpack filled with shrapnel dipped in rat poison in the airport arrivals lounge.
Court documents from 2015 described them as “close friends”. Asked by The Telegraph whether they remained friends, Ms Speitan said: “Yes, it’s still the case.”…
Ms Speitan, who joined the Green Party within the past year from Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party, said: “The system has a lot to answer for: systemic racism, anti-Muslim hate and demonising everyone who’s there to resist their colonial oppressors.”
Damning – yes, of course. But there were enough idiots at the party conference to vote the motion through.
Here’s Speitan in action – “Zionists must be hunted down in the same way as the Nazis”.
