All those Labour MPs so concerned with the safety of Jewish Greens. Really appreciate it, but if you were really concerned w/Jewish safety, you'd push your gov to be serious about the right wing thugs currently terrorising our streets, as we say here - jewishgreens.greenparty.org.uk/2026/09/11/j...

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

Maybe I am too 'liberal'. I support nationalisation of all utilities, a wealth tax, a land value tax, broad based tax rises, loosening the fiscal rules. I would like to see government trials of UBI and a four day week, would like to see the repeal of Thatcher's trade union laws.

I broadly agree with much of this thread but I will say - part of the challenge opponents of this motion had is that the proposers of the motion were completely intolerant, incapable of negotiation in a way that is very alien to Green culture.

What does it mean to be a member-led party when the Greens have 230,000 members but only 1835 voted on the Zionism Is Racism motion? Doesn't seem like you can claim the result as the iron-clad democratic will of the membership while dismissing the concerns of actual democratically elected MPs

Most those who support "Zionism is Racism" agenda have primarily the Palestinian condition in mind. While most diaspora Jews who oppose to it have the Jewish diasporic in mind. It's two separate conversations, talking past each other and that's not understood sufficiently.
