| 0:00.0 | Smeared for opposing genocide. What a surprise. The Green Party leader, Zach Polanski, |
| 0:05.7 | is the only Jewish leader of a political party, certainly major political party in Britain. |
| 0:11.2 | If there's a minor one, not aware of it, and one of the very few Jewish leaders of a British |
| 0:16.4 | political party anytime in history. He's also a passionate supporter of the Palestinian people's |
| 0:22.3 | right to national self-determination, as well as survival, and thus an opponent of Israel's genocide. |
| 0:29.8 | Now, anyone who speaks out against the genocide, more broadly against Israel's apartheid, |
| 0:34.8 | illegal occupation, illegal colonisation, its general historic oppression |
| 0:39.0 | of the Palestinian people get smeared. That is an iron law of politics, and that includes |
| 0:45.4 | if you're Jewish. Now, Zach Polansky has been outrageously attacked by this outfit, |

| 1:16.8 | smears anymore. It's just essentially a diminishing number of hardened cranks. And indeed, |
| 1:23.7 | the polling shows that a large majority of the British public believe, quite correctly, that Israel has committed war crimes, that there should be a total arms embargo |
| 1:31.3 | against Israel, that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, should be arrested for |
| 1:36.1 | war crimes and crimes against humanity, as per the arrest warrant issued against him by the |
| 1:41.2 | International Criminal Court. Now, the abuse of the term anti-Semitism |
| 1:45.0 | is incredibly irresponsible because it stops people believing that anti-Semitism exists when it does. |
| 1:50.8 | A bit of context for the campaign against anti-Semitism, so-called. They once did this disgusting video |
