Mothin Ali, Green party deputy, responds to smears

Green party deputy leader Mothin Ali has hit back at Israel lobby-funded Starmeroid MP David Taylor. Taylor had quoted notoriously Islamophobic, pro-Israel ‘X’ account ‘Habibi’ to attack Ali. It was part of the Israel lobby’s flailing attempt to revive the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam against the Greens for daring to debate whether to support international law on Palestinian resistance.

Taylor went for Ali after the Habibi account used an X post to try to mock the Greens. With the typical Zionist lack of self-awareness, the troll didn’t realise that what it was using to attack Ali is 100% true and aligned with the majority of Britons’ disgust with Israel’s genocide and the Labour party’s collaboration in it. Ali’s post also demonstrates the kind of plain-speaking politics most voters would welcome compared to the evasiveness of mainstream political parties:

David Taylor has form

Taylor’s own record, unsurprisingly, is scarcely any better than Habibi’s. He joined the Israel lobby’s attempts to remove anti-genocide hero Francesca Albanese from her voluntary UN post advocating for Palestinians. He promoted the Starmer regime’s unlawful ban on Palestine Action – and wants it extending to the Islamic Human Rights Commission for being ‘anti-British’ by opposing war. He opposed a report criticising Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians and pushed for war with Iran to protect Israel. He publicly called for military strikes on Iran in February 2025 to protect Mossad-controlled mobs. And he opposed the government creating an official definition of Islamophobia – one that almost exactly mirrors the ‘IHRA’ antisemitism definition he supports.

True to form, Jewish News libel-machine Lee Harpin joined in the attack on Ali, though he used a different tack, citing supposed horror at Ali’s “repeated engagement” with Muslim news site 5Pillars.

But like his party boss, Mothin Ali knows to come out fighting when the Israel lobby revs up its smear machine. He hit back in uncompromising style, telling Taylor that his post showed “exactly why you’re called the genocide party” and pointing out the racism of the ‘Habibi’ account Taylor quoted:

What a very welcome difference to the ‘apologise and apologise again’ response to pro-Israel smears that killed Corbyn’s Labour.
