Green Party leader Zack Polanski is Jewish.
Or more accurately “as-a-Jewish.” He does not hesistate to bash Israel at every turn – which I guess is obvious because, Green Party leader. He is close with anti-Israel Jewish group Na’amod, whose members infamously said Kaddish, the Jewish mourners’ pray, for dead Hamas-holes. He defended Mothin Ali, his Deputy Leader, who described Hamas terrorists as “indigenous people fighting back” and posted on October 7, 2023 that “White supremacist European settler colonialism must end.” Polanski also denied that the Labour Party was “rife with antisemitism” under Jeremy Corbyn – despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise.
In short: Zack Polanski should be the kind of Jew that antisemites like, or at least tolerate as a useful tool.
Alas, a Jew is a Jew.
ZACK Polanski has shared concern over a depiction of him in a newspaper cartoon which has been described as “casually antisemitism”.
The Green Party of England and Wales chief was shown in a Daily Mail graphic, which included various public figures from 2025 with distorted features.
Labour leader Keir Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves appeared with large heads and small bodies, while Polanski, who is Jewish, and Meghan Markle, who is mixed-race, had their noses dramatically enlarged.

Dr Dave Rich, the director of policy at the UK charity the Community Safety Trust, explains: “It is a technique used to stir up a sense of disgust and repulsion towards Jews, either collectively or individually, and is often found alongside other antisemitic motifs involving money, power, conspiracy and blood.”

The local Green branch quickly condemned the graphic, writing: “The image itself is beneath contempt. Yet it is even more terrifying to reflect that for Reform UK, this is nothing new.”
Zack Polanski may fancy himself the “acceptable” Jew – the kind antisemites can tolerate because he gives them political cover. But antisemitism doesn’t do ideological footnotes. To those who traffic in it, there are no “good Jews” and “bad Jews.” There are just Jews. And eventually, they all get the big nose.
Weird though, that Polanski has not directly commented on it yet.
Perhaps he just doesn’t have the time. He has been particularly busy doing a podcast with Gary Lineker.
