Leaked messages have exposed a senior member at the heart of the Green Party’s Disciplinary Committee using a Zionist WhatsApp group to potentially target anti-Zionist members. Green Party ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion At the centre of this is Rachel Collinson, a long-term Green Party member who just so happens to sit on the Disciplinary Committee. This is the same committee that dealt with the suspensions of anti-Zionist local election candidates like Mark Adderley and the expulsion of Jewish anti-Zionist scholar Tony Greenstein.
