London Assembly member @Councillorsuzie shuts down Green Party leader Zack Polanski after his party voted to classify Zionism as racism and rejected an amendment protecting Jewish members who attend synagogues. The London Assembly voted 19 to 3 this week to condemn the Green Party's decision. Polanski was one of the three who voted against. Susan, you dropped this 👑

The woman who wants to run Berlin wrote in the margins of a Spiegel interview that she and her husband are afraid of Hamas sympathizers in the city, and asked her team if they could cancel the whole interview. Her office sent the notes to Spiegel by mistake. The man she was afraid to name is Ibrahim Ibrahim, a PFLP supporter who called Sinwar, the man who led the October 7th massacres a "martyr hero." He showed up at her party's victory celebration in Neukölln. Days later he flew to Istanbul for a conference with Hamas-linked figures. Berlin's own intelligence service lists the group he works for as a Hamas support organization. Elif Eralp won the election on September 20. Her party doubled its vote. She is now negotiating with the Greens and SPD to become governing mayor, which means she would be responsible for the city's police and security. The police advised her not to name names. If the candidate for mayor is too scared to say out loud who is intimidating her, the people doing the intimidating already have more power in Berlin than the people who are supposed to govern it.

BREAKING: Two Jewish schools in New York City were placed under lockdown following bomb threats. Look at these children, how little they are, being taken from their classes because someone thought it would be funny or righteous to threaten to murder them. There is a sickness in New York.
