The Green party has no problem getting attention these days – but it’s for all the wrong reasons. A second Green councillor is now being investigated by the party for using ‘inflammatory rhetoric’ about the Israel-Gaza conflict in the Middle East. When will they learn?
Alexi Dimond was re-elected in last week’s local elections to his council seat in Sheffield. Though newly under investigation, the eco-activist has made no secret of his views over the last few months. Posting regularly on X about the conflict in the Middle East, Dimond has regularly placed blame at the feet of Western leaders for their role in the war — and has even drawn comparisons between a town hall flying an Israeli flag and, um, a South African flag being flown at the height of apartheid. Crikey.
The eco-activist has made no secret of his views
On 7 October, after Hamas attacked Israel, Dimond took to X to accuse the Israeli government of apartheid, demanding Benjamin Netanyahu’s government ‘end of the occupation’ of Gaza.
