I think this very interesting, and that not a lot more need be said:

Despite all the antisemites alleged to have joined from Labour, according to Reed, Akehurst, Nandy etc?
They have no clue what an antisemite is. They think they are antizionists, and that is a major category error
Looks like Israel has a problem with those supporting thr Greens (& with Labour people and LibDem not far behind), & with no political will, whatsoever, to fix it.
Looks like the Greens can tell the wood from the trees (hopefully the metaphore makes sense).
In the London Review of books, a sobering reminder that since 1924, Zionists have used targeted assassination (including of Jews) as a key policy tool – both in the founding of Israel and in making sure there would be no Palestinian state:<p>

Intelligence services across Europe -including MI5 have colluded – helping it, learning from it , adopting it in some cases.<p>
This is what we are up against – the defenestration of Corbyn and co – seems positively mild.
Sounds like “Murder Inc” to me – with little in the way of comment. They murdered Dr Gerald Bull in Brussels in 1990 (supergun guy). Given what seems to be in the book, it is likely Mossad (Murder Inc) got a helping hand from the Belgian secret service. Israel = rogue state, always has been, always will be.
It appears that there is a critical thinking gulch in the responses. Please show me the studies and data sets regarding the pursuit of money by non-jewish people vs. by jewish people.
As to whether Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is similar to the Third Reich’s treatment of jews, this is a serious question of findings of fact and conclusions of law, is it not? And not one to be decided by members of the public in reply to a poll, IMHO.
You seem to have seriously misunderstood the issue here.
The issues being raised are about attitudes, and they can be disconnected to facts, which is precisely what the disparity of responses reveals.
There is no evidence to suggest that Jews pursue money more than any other group in society. There are historical circumstances that meant that small groups of Jews tended to be over represented in banking at one point in its history and development (as too were Quakers) but that does not support the conclusion stereotypically presented, which is nothing more than a racist trope..
Those conducting this survey understood that. What they sought to understand is who might be more inclined to believe the trope. The point I was highlighting is that those people who support the Green party appear to be at lowest at risk of doing so.
What part of this have you not understood?
Interesting. The question is to what extent do different groups of people form their opinions and attitudes based on findings of fact.
What are facts?
Everything changes, as does understanding.
Narratives matter as much
As well as applauding the statistics about the Greens, I’m heartened to see that, according to this, British people in general, even a fair proportion of Reform-ites, are more able to separate Jewish people from the Israeli regime than some lobby groups (those who paint any disapproval of Israel’s actions as antisemitism) might wish.
As an afterthought, I wonder what the responses would look like if the questions had been about Trump-supporters.
