Greens pass Zionism motion Israel condemns the vote

Oct 4

Goodman reports that the Green Party of England and Wales approved a conference motion describing Zionism as racism and an ethnonationalist project, calling for an end to arms trade with Israel and a single democratic state in historic Palestine. Israel condemns the motion as antisemitic and legitimizing terrorism. Gideon Saar says leader Zack Polanski would be barred from Israel; Goodman notes Polanski did not vote on the motion. Those disputed characterizations remain attributed.
