What's the expected outcome from your comment? I asked you to speak clearly and plainly. You have not. Instead you've reframed the protected characteristic by commenting on the person and then value judged me.

I may come across as snippy, and I do. You've landed at a point in my day where I tire of this. You understand how the application of the equality act works. Protected characteristics are not about the person, but the belief. You defining it based on Miller is not relevant to the belief.

All racism and discrimination, opposed. The amendment on protecting Jewish members attending Zionist synagogues wasn't passed, but by party structure ROPs already protect and, e.g. Hindus attending Hindutva temples as well as other groups. Bad optics, yes. Racist, no.

There's a distinct undercurrent, and a lot of times, unspoken, that this was rushed, inadequately debated or clumsy, with little knowledge of what has gone before. Perhaps the title is a little too close to "slogan", but a complex topic is never not going to be misrepresented by those that want to.

I didn't say you were conflating all Jews with Zionism. Not all Zionists are Jews and not all Jews are Zionists. I'm saying the conflation exists where Zionists are expected to be responsible for the behaviour of other Zionists, as if a homogeneous or perfect group, which they are not.
