Also in September 2020, IPSO upheld a complaint against "The Jewish Chronicle" by Shahrar Ali, home affairs spokesman for the Green Party of England and Wales. The newspaper published claims in December 2019 that Ali had compared the Israel Defense Forces' actions during the Gaza War of 2009 to the Holocaust in a speech given on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2009. IPSO ruled that the publication "had failed to take care not to publish misleading information, and failed to distinguish between comment and fact" in relation to its published interpretation of Ali's comments, and had been inaccurate in reporting the timing of the speech as it had not occurred on Holocaust Memorial Day.
