The Green Party’s conference online voting system is under ‘DDOS attack‘ this morning, as members prepare to vote on a motion to declare the party officially opposed to the racist ideology of Zionism, according to party insiders who spoke to Skwawkbox.
Pro-Israel groups and the Israeli embassy have been frothing for weeks about the vote and attempted to pressure party leaders into blocking the motion, but democracy prevailed and the demands were ignored. Now it seems the Israel lobby is trying to take matters into its own hands.
The Green Party’s tech team is working to resolve or bypass the attack. Voting is taking place throughout the day, so members registered to ‘attend’ should log into the Greens’ members website and make sure to cast their vote for the motion as soon as it is working. Alternatively, the website link in the party’s emails to individual members about the conference appears to be still working despite the attack.

Israel’s military has accepted the death toll compiled by health authorities in Gaza is broadly accurate, marking a U-turn after years of official attacks on the data.
A senior security official briefed Israeli journalists, saying about 70,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli attacks on the territory since October 2023, excluding those missing.
They’ve admitted they’ve been gaslighting, to their own journalists.
& that doesn’t include the missing, those buried under bombing-created rubble.
All the “only 7k died” ( UNRWA, etc. ) gaslighting torpedoed, by that one slip.

Seems like the motion to declare the party officially opposed to the racist ideology of zionism should pass by default then.
Not really “should”, but fuck Pro-Israel groups and the Israeli embassy for interfering in democracy.
Israel just made it very clear for the swing voters which way to vote by trying to interfere. What a dumbass country.
