This is the moment a Green Party councillor shouts 'Allahu Akbar' after being elected in Leeds - as he declares his victory 'a win for the people of Gaza'.
A Green Party election candidate is mired in an anti-Semitism row today over social media posts blasting 'Jew lovers' and claiming the Islamic State terrorist group was run by the Israel i intelligence agency Mossad.
The Green Party told MailOnline that 'allegations of anti-Semitism will always be carefully considered using our robust internal disciplinary procedures'. Mr Belcher, whose website brands him a 'gardening supervisor and proud father' is running in the seat held in 2019 by Tory former chief whip Wendy Morton.
Mr Belcher, the treasurer of the local party branch in Walsall, also shared a link to an article by 'the real Syrian Free Press' - a pro-Assad website - suggesting ISIS was run by 'Simon Elliott, a Mossad agent'. The mural, by international graffiti artist Mear One, was removed in 2012 following complaints that it resembled the anti-Semitic propaganda of Nazi Germany.
'From what I know, it's artwork depicting an interpretation of the destructiveness and the inequality of capitalism. But Corbyn said out of his own mouth, he regretted sharing it. I'm assuming based on the fact that some people claimed it to be or interpreted it to be anti-Semitic and he didn't want to offend those people.
A Green Party spokesman said: 'The Green Party utterly condemns and is committed to confronting anti-Semitism.
