In May 2021, a Facebook post by Annamie Paul's senior advisor, Noah Zatzman, triggered a meltdown inside the Green Party of Canada—splintering the party, pushing out MPs, and gutting its credibility. But the collapse started long before.
In this episode of Spark’d Cast, I speak with writer and activist Yves Engler about how Zionist lobbying sabotaged the Greens from within, how the party reversed its own 2016 BDS resolution under pressure, and how media smears and internal power plays derailed Dimitri Lascaris’s leadership campaign.
We also break down the role of Noah Zatzman and Annamie Paul in enforcing silence around Israeli apartheid, why the Greens' collapse still matters for Palestine solidarity and eco-socialism, and whether the party can still be reclaimed—or whether it’s time to leave it behind entirely.
