‘Zionism is racism’ motion passed by Green party at annual conference
- On Sunday, Green Party members will vote on an unprecedented motion to officially declare Zionism a form of racism, potentially becoming the first major British political party to adopt this policy.
- British-Palestinian activist Lubna Speitan submitted the motion, which attracted 745 co-proposers and calls for establishing a single democratic Palestinian state, claiming Zionism is a racist ideology that dehumanizes Palestinians.
- Fierce protests erupted outside the Brighton conference venue on Saturday, with pro-Israel demonstrators chanting "Terrorist supporters off our streets" while pro-Palestine activists held banners reading "Jews against Zionism."
- Former Green leader Caroline Lucas denounced the motion on Friday, warning it risked being "divisive," while former co-leader Adrian Ramsay vowed to oppose it, arguing Jewish environmentalists must remain welcome.
- Party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, has sought amendments to safeguard Jewish members from disciplinary action based on synagogue affiliations, though he objects to the party prescribing a single-state outcome.
