Green Leader Zack Polanski Says Zionism Is a Form of Racism
Polanski said Zionism is racism as Green members prepare to vote on a motion opposing it and backing a single Palestinian state.
- Green Party leader Zack Polanski defended his anti-Zionist views at a recent hustings event, characterizing Zionism as racism in practice despite persistent heckling from a pro-Israel crowd opposed to his pro-Palestine activism.
- Triggered by Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepping down as local MP, the by-election features Labour candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali, who faced criticism from the Camden Muslim Network for skipping their hustings event five days after being invited.
- When asked about Zionism, British-Somali candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali stated she supports a two-state solution, while identifying the IRGC as a security threat and highlighting her visits to the South Hampstead United Synagogue.
- Polanski now faces internal pressure from pro-Palestine factions within the Green Party over an upcoming motion in early October that seeks to formally define Zionism as a racist ideology and support a single democratic Palestinian State.
- Data currently places Abdi-Wali ahead of Polanski in the Holborn and Pancras race, though the Greens aim to replicate past successes by targeting voters dissatisfied with Labour's stance on the war in Gaza.
