The Jerusalem Post reports on leaked WhatsApp messages from a private UK Green Party group, 'Greens Against Imperialism', which contained discussions about 'killing Zionists' and described British Jews as a 'weapon' for Israel. The group was established by Sophus Magill, a Green Party parish councilor, who expressed a desire for Israel to be 'wiped off the map' and compared it to Rhodesia. Other members, including Ashley Tubb, made comments about Iran's IRGC and alleged US and Zionist involvement in protests. The leak was reported by The Times. The Green Party declined to comment, while Campaign Against Antisemitism and the Board of Deputies of British Jews condemned the messages, with the former stating they may constitute criminal offenses and the latter calling for suspension and investigation of those involved.
