Greens investigate party member behind Zionism motion

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 7 October 2026 and 7 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

It has emerged Lubna Speitan was listed in court documents as a "close friend" of a man later jailed for supporting al-Qaeda.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on the Green Party’s vote and the backlash around the “Zionism is racism” motion, but they frame it differently. The BBC’s pieces emphasise internal division, the reaction from Jewish Greens, and later scrutiny of the motion’s author, while The Economist condemns the vote as “shameful.” Al Jazeera is the only outlet in this set to argue directly that the party’s new policy is wrong and says it does not help Palestinian self-determination.
