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.

This is a very cool motion, I obviously agree with the message. But immediately seeing all the media and politicians come out declaring how super-pooper racist it is to oppose ethnostates though.

The government narrative of conflating zionism with being Jewish is exactly what tanked Corbyn in the public view. Sadly I think we'll see the same thing happen with the Green Party now. And with that, I sadly predict any hope of incredibly slight reform from electoralism will go again, and the "Labour" party is back tory

    I don't know, personally I always thought it was Brexit that sunk Corbyn, more than the antisemitism accusations, tho it certainly didn't help

    But in 2026 without the stink of labor and the genocide in full view, I don't think even British media can contain the Green party, at least not over this issue
