Ms Bond 'This was amusing' https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/greenpeace-build-wind-farm-on-trumps-golf-course/ Do you also find this racist statement from a Green Party candidate just as amusing ? And I wonder if Mr Ainsworth does too. "Meet the Green candidate who thinks Zionists killed 20 million Christians" Andrew Gilligan The Spectator 'A Green Party council candidate in Bournemouth says “the Zionists killed 20 million Christians” and are “trying to control the world.” Feda Shahin, who is standing for the Central ward on Bournemouth town council, leads a group which caused significant national controversy by picketing the family home of the town’s then Tory MP, Tobias Ellwood, in February 2024. This ridiculous claim appears to be based on the fact that some leaders of the Russian revolution, such as Trotsky, were Jewish The Palestine Solidarity Movement, a local Bournemouth-based activist group, organised about 80 people to mass outside the MP’s house after dark, chanting: “Tobias Ellwood, you can’t hide, you signed up for genocide.” Ellwood said: “Advertising [my] private address to mobilise an aggressive, intimidating rally at an MP’s property… for me is a step too far. MPs cannot be fair game to be directly attacked in this way.” The Palestine Solidarity Movement also picketed Ellwood as he went about other business in the town, calling him a “war criminal.” Shahin is the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s “secretary general,” and was prominent in it in Bournemouth at the time of the Ellwood picket, though it is not clear whether she attended the event at his house. Speaking at another rally of the group in February 2026, she said that the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island “is a symbol of the headquarters of the Zionists who are trying to control the world.” She has also accused Israel of being a country that “sucks the blood of [Palestinian] children,” one of the classic anti-semitic blood libels. The Palestine Solidarity Movement’s X account reposts what appears to be a call for ethnic cleansing, saying that “Israel must be dismantled… its population must be de-Zionised.” In 2025, Shahin said: “Before the Holocaust… do you know that the Zionists, before that, actually, during the Bolshevik [period], killed 20 million Christians. The committee that decided to kill these 20 million Christians had 500 people [on it], 480 of these people were Zionists.” This ridiculous claim appears to be based on the fact that some leaders of the Russian revolution, such as Trotsky and Zinoviev, were Jewish – though about 90 per cent, including Lenin and Stalin, were not (one of Lenin’s grandparents was a Jewish convert to Christianity, but he was raised in the Russian Orthodox faith.) Even the Jewish revolutionaries were, however, fundamentally opposed to Zionism, seeing it as bourgeois and nationalist. No doubt this is another of those times when the Z-word acts as a synonym for Jews'.
