I explain here why I voted for the “Zionism is racism” motion at the Green Party conference. I now find myself, despite being Jewish, labelled “antisemitic” and “extremist” or sometimes worse. Obviously, I do not accept these labels
Here is my thinking
1. The dominant Israeli and Western narrative is that Zionism means (a) the right for Jews to have a homeland in their biblical land and (b) the right to have a place of safety after persecution culminating in the horror of the Holocaust
2. This, on its face, is very reasonable, right & proper. This is the core of the UK political & media response to the Greens motion
3. Sadly, the early Zionist slogan that Palestine would be “a land without people, for a people without a land” was not true - the land DID have people, Palestinians
4. The great Palestinian-American intellectual, Edward Said, wrote a 1979 essay called “Zionism from the viewpoint of its victims”
5. That viewpoint is conspicuously absent from much discussion in the West
6. Zionism has meant decades of ethnic cleansing, oppression, apartheid & killing of millions of Palestinians BECAUSE they are Palestinians
7. This is why Zionism is racism
8. One of my (many) Jewish heroes is Marek Edelman, the last surviving commander of the resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto. He did not go to live in Israel. He was an anti-Zionist. He said, “To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed, never with the oppressors”
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.
Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.
My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.
I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.
The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.
Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.
Our “greatest ally” Israel just murdered two Christians in another genocidal bombing in Gaza.
A mother and daughter.
Not terrorists.
2 innocent women.
Israel is systematically committing genocide everyday and our government funds it, enables it, and provides military support.
Israel is so desperate to prevent Americans from watching NAZA, a documentary by Israelis showing Israel’s genocide, that they launched their own FAKE documentary with the same name.
The goal is to confuse viewers into watching their propaganda.
This is the real one which will be released for free in November.
AIPAC plans to spend $233 million to defeat candidates who dare to speak out against Netanyahu's extremist government.
They spent $33 million to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan primary. They lost.
They are going to keep losing.
NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.
