Snip:

The Green Party of England and Wales voted for the first time to declare Zionism a form of racism at its party conference in Brighton on 4 October.

Party members voted on Sunday to pass the motion, which also calls for the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state with equal rights for all ethnic and religious groups.

It also recognizes the Palestinian people's inalienable right to resist occupation and achieve self-determination “by all available means under international law.”

Previously, the Green Party supported a two-state solution calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the occupied West Bank and Gaza alongside the state of Israel in the remainder of occupied Palestine.

The entire political and media class (assisted by a lot of hand wringing left-ish Greens) is already not only branding them as vehemently antisemitic, racist, and fascist but also claiming without pushback on the radio this morning that the Green party is now an 'extremist party calling for violence against Jews beyond what even Palestinian leadership in the region have called for'. More than a dozen MPs in the party of government have formally referred the Green party to the police to be investigated for antisemitism and extremism.

They're already laying the groundwork. If they can't destroy it like Corbynism (they'll probably succeed, even the principled Green members who voted for this are too squishy and comfortable to take that kind of constant unending onslaught) they'll absolutely find a way to ban them from standing.

And the whole thing will go on with the next person or group that dares raise its head and try to gently push back against the screaming, bloodthirsty, fascist cabal that runs this country.
