Did you know? In 1975 the United Nations general assembly passed a resolution declaring "zionism is a form of racism & racial discrimination" (the resolution was revoked in 1991 because Israel made this a condition of its participation in peace talks)

No people, no matter how persecuted, has the right to create a national state on a land that is another people's home. Yet Palestinians are forced to hear about Zionism as a valid "Jewish right to self determination", when this "right" has come at the price of their expulsion and destruction

It was also unnecessary, not only because the motion itself declares it does not target Jews, but because this is not a motion that changes the party's disciplinary procedure. It *cannot* be used to penalise Jews or anyone else for their associations and activities outside the party...

My brother just rang with a basic point: if you take the subjectivity of marginalised people seriously, then you have to accept the right of Palestinians to name the oppression they experience. Once we do that, it’s clear that Zionism is racism.

I try not to use the term when others are more appropriate, but this is just gaslighting. Most of Gaza is destroyed to bulldozed rubble and nobody who matters is even speaking up about it, because they know what would happen to them and their careers if they do.

The Green Party's decision to equate Zionism with racism is shameful. Jewish self-determination is not racism. We can challenge the Israeli government and defend Palestinian rights without denying that principle.

It’s absolutely fucking WILD that this was committed to writing, given that every Muslim and pro-Palestinian who appeared in the media from late 2023 onwards was asked whether they supported Hamas and required to renounce terrorism.

Asking Jews to pass a purity test and renounce self-determination according to a perverse interpretation arbitrarily applied, isn't just an extreme position, it's a racist one.

That's before we consider the Green party is now backing violent dismantling of Israel.

There are some legitimate criticisms of the motion. However, the fury about it isn't in defence of Jewish people. It's not in defence of Zionists or Israelis even. It's in defence of a very successful tool to subjugate socialist politics in the UK and further afield.

The media and political outrage around the Zionism Is Racism motion is because a major UK party adopting this stance takes the public conversation much closer to being completely immune from the main tool used to destabilise the left: spurious accusations of antisemitism.
