Greens adopt policy treating Zionism as racism

[Twiglets1]

The Greens have formally adopted a policy which equates Zionism with racism, a move that will dismay the bulk of the party’s MPs and has alarmed some Jewish members.

In a vote on Sunday at the party’s annual conference in Brighton about whether to back a motion which calls for Zionism, the movement for a Jewish state, to be “treated as any other form of racism”, it passed by 1,022 votes to 813.

The motion, which is now formal policy for the Greens in England and Wales, also calls for a single Palestinian state in place of Israel “with equal rights for all”.

Four of the party’s five MPs have condemned the motion, as did Caroline Lucas, the former leader who was the Greens’ first MP.

Adrian Ramsay, who co-led the Greens before Polanski, said in a statement he would vote against it, as it set out what sort of Palestinian state should exist without taking into account the self-determination of Israelis and Palestinians.

Siân Berry, another of the MPs, made the same point.

Carla Denyer, the Bristol Central MP who was co-leader with Ramsay, said the wording “risks alienating a significant proportion of Jewish people, including those who vehemently disagree with the Israeli government”.

Another Green MP, Ellie Chowns, said the motion “risks fuelling division, and risks undermining the party’s ability to advocate effectively for justice and peace”.

The Green Party is reported to have more than 230,000 members.
0.44% voted for the motion
0.35% voted against it
99.2% stood by and watched their party become officially antisemitic.

The Green Party might have suffered from entryism but those that didn't vote against the motion are just as responsible for spreading this hate.

Likewise. I venture on sometimes, say a few words, perhaps manage about 3 posts, and then beat a retreat. I'm quite robust, but I find it unbearable.

Yes, the pro-Gaza lobby and trans activism have a lot in common. They're both a kind of purity spiral, a modern-day McCarthyism where a small group of people can weild a lot of power.

I haven't gone back on since the attacks on those ambulances. It took all my strength.

She’s been bang on the money with her Iran commentary, she’s my favourite follow on x.

I agree, it’s so depressing. I’m Irish, and so embarrassed by the behaviour of our media and stupid fucking footballers and all the rest.

I don’t know where the Irish resentment and hatred towards Isreal and Jewish people came from, but they certainly don’t speak for me.

These days I just roll my eyes when I see Palestinian flags, and make a mental note to avoid those people. They seem blinded by their own righteousness. It’s nauseating.

And like you say, there is never the same vitriol or attention directed at other conflicts.

It’s all so obvious what this really is, I guess the Green Party aren’t trying to hide it anymore.

For the non-Jews on here who want to know what they can do, one thing is to join this organisation - I posted the link earlier but the thread has moved on a long way

Another option is to donate to the Community Security Trust

It says a lot that their promotional mail-shots assume that donors are Jewish. Next time I pitch some cash that way, I'll make it clear that I'm not.

Nah, he's more to be pitied 😂
They will NEVER be in charge, don't worry.
He really is an oddity of a man, that Polanski 😂

No, a weak majority of conference attendees voted for it. Less than 1% of the party membership.

👏 👏

I would like him to go to Palestine and experience it at first hand.

Fair point but it automatically becomes party policy.

I'm going to be remembering the fallen Jewish and the rest of the community on 7th October, as will many other decent people. ❤️ no doubt we will all meet up on here. I'm not setting foot on CITME.

This is what pisses me off about the "free Palestine" people.
Sudanese women, girls and boys are being sexually abused every day. 12m people have been displaced. There is a famine happening right now, people starving to death
Not a fucking peep about their suffering.
Why?

We can guess. Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh recently went to Sudan to visit the camps and talk to the girls and women. She was visibly distressed.
Was her visit covered by the BBC? No.

Last year I looked into attending a weekend woodworking thing, sort of like diy skills and building. I thought it would be a nice way to spend a few days and learn something useful.

Except when I looked through the photos they had massive trans flags and palestine flags all over the place. So obviously I dodn’t book it in the end - I didn’t want to spend the weekend with a bunch of idiots.

But I kept thinking - what the fuck have they got to do with woodwork and carpentry?

Is it just everywhere now? You can’t buy a fucking cup of coffee without a palestinian flag being waved at you.

Even our national media outlets don't report on it.
Why is that?

Watch this space for antics on Wednesday.

Oh ffs. I'm sick of seeing them in neighbours' windows, bus stops, cafés, lanyards, etc etc

The hypocrisy of people who resent the flying of England flags yet are happy to have the Palestinian flag everywhere.

I so hope Adrian Ramsey, Sian Berry and other MPs & Senned Members grow a spine and resign. The GPEW is lost.

It sends the hard left in a spin when Raise the Colours lot say they have no problem with the Palestinian flag flying. They just want all flags to be treated equally. Who are really the intolerant people, one might then ask.

Quite!

It’s a defence mechanism I think.

You no longer have to speak out against Palestine to be anti-Palestinian, you just have to not actively show support.

And the followers are so intense and persistent it bats away a lot of harassment and questioning from friends and colleagues and strangers to just shove a Palestine flag up.

A sort of ‘please don’t hurt/cancel me’ type thing.

No Jews no news.

The Sudanese are not as clever at manipulating online spheres and AI to develop a narrative around their suffering.

And African causes have always been far less glamorous, politically speaking. The politics is too complicated and isn’t as involved with the west so there’s less of a ‘colonialism’ angle.
