Paul Barnfather @clanger9.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Thankfully, the UN repealed that resolution in 1991 on the basis that it was anti Semetic. Choosing your own preferred definition of "Zionism" does not change this. 000
Paul Barnfather @clanger9.bsky.social · 05/10/2026If you want to know the history of this slogan, the USSR pushed anti Semetic tropes relentlessly in the 70s, resulting in the 1975 UN resolution declaring "Zionism is racism". 100
Paul Barnfather @clanger9.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It is antisemetic because it makes Jewish people unwelcome in the Green Party. Is that simple enough for you? 110

Paul Barnfather @clanger9.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I have cancelled my Green Party membership with immediate effect. No matter how you try to defend it, endorsing “Zionism is racism” is blatantly anti Semetic. I cannot remain a member of a party that endorses such a position. 7231
