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”.

Also think it's funny that they are so accepting of Palestinians taking land 'by any means necessary' in their words - but the idea of Israel defending itself 'by any means necessary' is the ultimate evil

I hope those arrested get the book thrown at them, I really do. I'm not usually vindictive, but this whole situation has got out of hand.

As for that woman with her self-righteous watermelon - what an absolute useful idiot. Performative fool.

Oh, but you don't understand!
Israel is a nation of white colonisers.

Provided you ignore that half of the population that is Mizrahi or Ethiopian.

Also hilarious for this hijacked party to talk about non-native colonisers

Yea, how long would she last under Hamas?

This is an MP in Birmingham, in England, not Pakistan. Absolute shocker.

News reports always refer to “figures supplied by the Hamas run health ministry”

Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation, based on extreme Islamic fundamentalism, that have no morals or scruples about summary executions etc, so why are people so gullible and not view the casualty numbers supplied with a bit of scepticism? The protestors accept the figures as absolute gospel and become quite maniacal if anyone dares to question any of the propaganda they are no doubt being fed.

I have a hope that one day, the Western world might thank Israel and acknowledge that that brave country is all that is standing between us and extremists hell bent on turning the world into a caliphate. Currently, all we seem to be doing is chipping away at our last line of defence and offering the fanatics all the encouragement they don’t need.

Sad times.

I notice the BBC always uses this phrase. Useful idiots.

Guess who has sent a message of solidarity and support to Zack Polanski criticising the 'barrage of abuse' Zack and the Green Party have received, merely for 'standing up against all forms of racism'?

Hi just a warning- posting instagrams reveals your actual identity, which with a large number of nutters on a topic such as this is not a good idea.

I've just been looking at reel after reel of support for 🇮🇱 solidarity and at the same time, condemnation of today's events. The cult is seen for what it is and their days are numbered. Counter protests shouted over the hate, reminders of the murdered Jewish victims were broadcast around the hate marches. Today was the start of an accelerating fight back.

Utter POS.

These marches are sickening. Today of all days.

Some disturbing details of what some Jewish students have experienced detailed in this piece too.

Lol! I haven't got x but I just saw a post underneath this that said ' Hi I'm Jeremy Corbyn. My pronouns are Has and Been'

Brilliant! 😂😂

😆 🤣

Cult is exactly what it is. Some kind of hive mindedness that seems to have taken over, where dissenting opinions are slowly discouraged or actively punished, making it socially safer to agree than to question.
Almost exactly how those that seek a change of regime would like their followers to be.

Genuine LOL.

Zack Polanski has now got a popularity rating lower than Farage.

Just coming on the thread to say that my daughter & I managed to make it (by the skin of our teeth!) to the Memorial near Downing Street earlier today with the Chief Rabbi etc. Our train was delayed so it was a scramble to drop bags off to hospital ahead of appointments & then dash over.
My daughter was (somewhat understandably) worried about us attending and possible risks but as ever the CST & police were a reassuring & appreciated presence.
It was very moving, hearing the names and ages of British citizens who died as well as those with close ties to the UK community being read aloud, the pictures & flags too.
It felt like the least we could do to honour them in some way by being there I suppose.

I mused the other day whether I would vote Reform to keep the Greens out.

I would and am not ashamed to admit it.

Reform are dangerous and would be a disaster for the country but the Greens would be a bigger and more immediate threat.

The Greens have to be kept out at all costs I agree. Luckily they have shot themselves in the foot with this vote. The extremists within the party showed their hand too soon. I guess they just aren’t that bright.

💛 I'm glad you made it, and were safe

That's lovely to hear. I thought about going to London but it would be a massive endeavour for me from Scotland and I just couldn't face it. I was watching the videos from the New York memorial in horror so I'm glad to hear the atmosphere in London was much more peaceful.
