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”.

Was that argument used against those fighting for equal rights for black people in America or South Africa. Did the tell white women to stay in their lane during any other dispute? It is just used to silence and that alone should sound massive alarm bells for anyone of intelligence.

YY, I can’t take any “sceptic” seriously if they shill for gender identity ideology, as so many of these (mostly) men do.

Apparently it gives them something interesting to write about in their Christmas cards. Not in the least bit ashamed to be associated with the sledge hammer lot are they

It means you don't have a right to speak, and don't have the insight or authority to campaign for the rights of other girls and women, according to this view.

Indeed.

Didn't you know...?

Palestine and proscribed groups supporting pensioners = good, diminished responsibility
Brexit supporting pensioners = get in the fucking sea and freeze to death, Farage loving Boomer scum

Right side of history innit

Yes, and I'm saying I don't think it should be.

Threats against property to influence a government have a long tradition and putting them under the "terrorism" umbrella serves primarily to make people think terrorism legislation has gone too far.

Breaking into military facilities and destroying equipment threatens our ability to defend our shores which to my mind is much closer to treason than terrorism.

I don't accept that view.

White, feminist and also stroppy on occasion 😂

Yes, very interesting. They've been taken over for sure and are now like a party of zombies. I only hope their crazy Islamo-Left alliance collapses very soon and the Greens are destroyed forever.

Or maybe re-emerge as a party concerned about trees, nature and the environment.

I see what you mean. Yes, I sometimes whether we humans have a deep-seated psychological need to subsume ourselves to a higher cause, which would explain why after the decline of organised religions in the west so many people kowtowed before the altar of literal gender transubstantiation and the "original sin" of being white.

Should the Fairford van men not be charged with terrorism then?

I will happily defend the right for you and other women like myself to be stroppy on occasion and to be able to speak out on any injustice we see without the fear of others trying to silence our voices

Would you describe what they planned as "threats against property to influence a government"?

Well they definitely have a fair few members at the moment who should spend more time outside in nature and less time on the internet posting vile rubbish or voting at conferences.

Professor Alice Roberts is or was chair of the Humanist Association and is TWAW.

They didn’t actually get around to damaging anything but I think it was assumed that was the aim. Are they terrorists?

Palestine Action also attacked an RAF base and damaged military aircraft.

I certainly wouldn’t describe her as a “radical atheist”!

Was that their only intent? If so, then conspiracy to commit high treason is a better description than conspiracy to commit terrorism.
Attacking an RAF base and damaging an aircraft is clearly an attack on our ability to defend our shores, and therefore treason.

Isn't it unclear what their intention was? I thought one theory was that it was a dummy mission to test security, and the phonecall from one of them was to test how long it would take the police to arrive. Also I don't know if they were Palestine Action. It looks like it was some kind of Iranian operation of some kind.

I think individuals being charged with terrorism based on their actions is fine

However prescribing Pal Action a terrorist group was a mistake in the scheme of things. It has played into the pocket of the pro pal lobby groups and fuckwitts in general.

Why can't the Iranians be using some of the Palestine Action lot?

They'd be stupid not to, give half a chance.

Yes, it's enabled them to see themselves as victims and martyrs and there's nothing in this world they'd rather be.

Palestine Action attacked and damaged aircraft at RAF Brize Norton and they had other RAF bases listed as potential future targets.

The fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is still not banned in the UK but they have prescribed pal action does not sit well with me regarding the intentions of our politicians

If a regular (ish) person like myself can understand in advance what banning pal action cause chain reaction wise then why would the politicians and their advisers not now this

I don't think the intention was ever to stop the protests or attacks. That may make me a conspiracy theorist but so be it

It will be interesting to see what happens in Thursday's by-election in Holborn&St Pancras. It may be that the Green's appeal to sectarianism, which this vote is very much part of, will pay off. However they will be up against Labour's appeal to sectarianism.

Whoever wins, it shows our democracy is in a pretty poor state and with demographic change, the sectarianism, tribalism and intolerance are likely to increase.
