Shortly after the Green Party’s conference vote endorsing the “Zionism is racism” motion, the Telegraph published a cartoon drawn by Patrick Blower titled “Eat Your Greens”. It depicts the Green Party’s deputy leader, cn visibly Muslim garb, wearing Palestine and “Zionism is racism” badges and preparing to eat the severed head of party leader Zack Polanski, who is depicted with a large hooked nose.
