Are you a British Jew who’s feeling a bit on edge after the spate of attacks over the past week — four in the London area alone? Not to mention the attacks also in the very recent past, like the torching of four Hatzalah ambulances in Golders Green? Don’t worry! That feeling of being unsafe is all in your head.

That’s what Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, appeared to imply in an interview with Haaretz Tuesday.

He didn’t categorically deny that rising antisemitism is a problem and claimed to take it seriously. But he also made this bizarre statement:

“Now, there’s a conversation to be had about whether it’s a perception of unsafety or whether it’s actual unsafety, but neither are acceptable.”

So all these attacks are really happening, but he thinks we need to discuss whether it’s reasonable to feel unsafe.

He said that no one should even have such a perception, but he didn’t explain how to help people deal with their psychological issues.

“As a politician, as a leader of a political party, it’s really important that we do everything we can to make sure people are both physically safe and have a perception of safety,” he explained. “And it’s unacceptable for anyone in this country to be feeling unsafe if they’re just going about their daily business.”

He also accused others of weaponizing antisemitism against members of his party, noting that people suddenly came up with these accusations after their candidacy was announced, although no one would have known who the candidates were until the public announcements. Something is seriously lacking in his ability to think logically.

Worst of all, Polanski subscribed to the blood libel against Israel, accusing it of genocide. He said he is speaking out against “genocide” to ensure that “my Jewish identity is not weaponized by other people in the community who claim that all Jewish people support the Israeli government, or all Jewish people support the genocide, because that’s absolutely not true.”

British Jews who have a “perception of unsafety” should know they’re in good hands: Zack Polanski has their back.
