Polanski's Political Shift: From Zionist to Anti-Israel Leader

On May 2nd, Zach Polanski used to be a rising star in the Liberal Democrats back in 2016.

Running for a seat on the London Assembly, he called himself a proud Jew and Zionist.

Telling voters a vote for his party meant support for Israel and Judaism.

Born David Paulden, he changed his name by depol to reclaim his Jewish roots and ditched

odd jobs like life coaching and hypnotherapy for politics.

After losing that race and another shot at Parliament, Polanski jumped ship to the Green

Party.

They gave him a London Assembly spot, made him deputy leader in 2022, and bumped him

up to leader last year.

His views flipped hard.

Now he's all about slamming Israel while his party swells with ex-labor leftists pushing

wild policies like open borders and drug legalization.

Lately, the Greens face heat over candidates posting vile stuff online.

Two got arrested this week for racial hatred.

One shared a Hamas fighter pic calling it resistance, another backed ramming synagogues

as revenge.

Polanski knew about it but didn't boot them till cop stepped in, and his deputy even

told punished anti-Semites to sue the party.

He's a social media machine, hitting Blue Sky nearly a hundred times a day, ego surfing

his name and picking fights to stir drama.

Critics from his Lib Dem days call him a huckster, not a real politician, more content creator

than leader.

After a recent terror attack in Golders Green, he bashed cops for roughing up the suspect,

drawing fire from ministers and police chiefs before a forced apology.

The Greens are polling 15 to 20 percent, winning by elections on pro-Palestine vibes, but

this online firestorms fueling UK tensions and anti-Semitic spikes.

Polanski's chameleon act keeps votes rolling in, yet is leaving a toxic trail that could

backfire a big time.
