Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, took a popularity hit after criticizing police over the arrest of a man accused of stabbing two Jews in Golders Green. He is also a staunch critic of Britain's ties with Israel
Polanski joined British politicians and activists urging the UK government to probe IDF veterans and implement airport screening for potential war crimes.
If Zack Polanski delivers the gains to the Green Party’s local leadership that polls have indicated are possible, he will instantly become one of the highest-profile Jewish progressives in the world.
