The problem is the proposers are already going further. In her speech to conference, Lubna Speitan said: [we need to] "Free all peoples from the oppression of Zionism". All people? This is an antisemitic world view.

I am horrified and depressed that @greenparty.org.uk conference voted to declare Zionism is Racism. This new policy will lead to Jewish members being disciplined for not being sufficiently AntiZionist. The way Jewish Greens officers have already been attacked in the Canary and Tribune proves this.

It's three years ago today, by the Jewish calendar, that Hamas attacked Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians including women, babies and older people, and taking 250 hostages, again, mostly civilians. And starting Israel's devastating, destructive war on Hamas in Gaza. 🧵 1/5

A Green Party activist messages in on the 'Zionism is Racism' motion being debated today (DMs open for other thoughts from members etc)
 I worry that most people haven’t read the ZiR motion properly and/or don’t understand that Zionism can mean many things. As with all conferences a ton of consequential stuff is voted through which - if they haven’t done laborious pre-reading and prep - people don’t really know what they’ve voted for. ZiR risks being the epitome of that. I genuinely don’t believe people would be so blasé or unquestioning of it if they understood how close it comes to antisemitism. Maybe we on the left are so used to false accusations of antisemitism that we can’t spot it when it’s genuinely à risk. 2 things can be true - Jewish people can hold to the deep cultural and religious status of the homeland (in place since they were ejected from Judea by the Romans) AND abhor the apartheid and genocide. It doesn’t get us closer to a meaningful peace process (or conversation in the Green Party) if we brand anyone racist who thinks that way. And I know it’s ‘politics’ but I hate this campaign telling people how to vote because it seems to take advantage of the fact that many members don’t (or find it hard to) read the MASSIVE policy proposal doc.

I will be voting against the Zionism is Racism at The Green Party Conference today. There are many reasons, but above all I feel the motion goes against my fundamental beliefs around consent, autonomy, agency, and self determination. These values are also enshrined in the Philosophical Basis..

The "Zionism is racism" motion, to be debated at the Green Party conference tomorrow, will not advance the Palestinian cause one inch. But, if adopted, it would marginalise and discredit the party. There are powerful ways to confront the genocide. Toxic gesture politics isn't one of them.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a single lane 9 m wide track for metros, a 35 m wide road for buses with four lanes, and a 175 m wide road for cars with seven lanes, making the point that one single track of Metro replaces seven lanes of car traffic. Mobility in cities is about space.

So when Jews said that "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" meant the destruction of Israel, the world told us, don't over react, it just means calling for Palestinian freedom. Greens4Palestine have now cleared that up! Stop gaslighting Jews.

This video makes it crystal clear the 'Zionism is Racism' motion intends to replace Jews in Israel with a Palestinian state for Palestinians. The motion also endorses the use of violence in order to do so. If it passes, @greenparty.org.uk will be #antisemitic and terrorist.

Just visited another structure that is part of TfL’s bid for the government’s Structures Fund: the Croydon flyover. Speed limit down from 40 to 30 mph. If no action to repair it, then weight restrictions within four years. Can see that (salty) water is seeping through the structure.
Underside of Croydon flyover - space used as a car park. Pair of concrete y shaped pillars holding up a slab that runs across the underside of the bridge deck.
