It is a great pity that you have lowered your own party to behave in that way in my city.'You have known about Mr Ali's views for a considerable time. 'Mr Ali's record speaks for itself and if the Green Party is serious about dealing with antisemitism rather than just paying lip service to it in meetings with community leaders, action will be taken.'
