A Green Party candidate, Tina Ion, used an Anne Frank parody social‑media account to share messages calling Zionists “Jewish Nazis” and advocating violence, prompting accusations of antisemitism within the party. The controversy has led to the detention of two Green Party members on suspicion of inciting racial hatred online. Party officials say the incident adds to a spate of antisemitism allegations that are testing the party’s internal disciplinary processes.
