I am very saddened that Zionism is Racism motion has passed. I was on the list as the next speaker against the motion, but was not called. I wrote two different speeches depending on whether the amendment protecting Jewish members was passed. Here they are below:

If A3 fails:
Joshua Alston, Leeds Green Party, I am a Jewish antizionist.
I joined Jewish Greens in 2018 because of an incident in my local party. Four members of my local party signed a letter accusing me of being a Zionist and a mossad agent because of a position I took in defence of trans rights. It was nothing to do with Israel.
They assumed I was a Zionist because I was a Jew who disagreed with them. I’ve been called a Zionist dozens of time since then.
As an antizionist Jew I have to fight twice as hard, be twice as loud and obnoxious to be persuade people that I am an anti-Zionist and for some people it just isn’t enough.
For non-Jews this isn’t a question that gets asked. If you search Zack Polanski is a Zionist you get loads of hits. No-one says Mothin or Rachel are Zionists.
So I am worried about this motion. I don’t think anti-Zionism is racism. I am an anti-Zionist. But I do think there’s a double standard in society.
Some people say Zionist when they mean Jew.
I know the proposers and trust that they don’t think like this. But most of the rest of the country won’t trust them. They will think awful things of us.
There is another way. We could declare that anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia are racisms. We vote for E03 and focus on the material changes that we need for Palestinian freedom. We can focus on stopping the genocide. We can focus on BDS. We can stand up against the proscription of Palestine action.
The Green Party vision is a world where all are free. This takes us backwards. We should vote it down.

If A3 does pass:
Josh Alston. I’m from Leeds Green Party. I am a Jewish anti-Zionist who has spent most of my adult life talking to the Jewish community about Israel, and helping build coalitions for Palestinian liberation.
In my community 64% of people describe themselves as Zionists, but only 12% are pro-Netanyahu. They have criticisms of Israeli racism, but they still call themselves Zionists.
So what do they think?
They like the idea of a place Jews can go in the event of a genocide in Europe, but don’t like the way Israel treats Palestinians. I see this as an opportunity. We’re a party about organising. We’re a party about convincing people.
So how do we talk people round?
Any organiser knows we start from points of connection and the material conditions in Palestine. We start from disgust at the genocide. We talk about settlements. We talk about BDS. We talk about corruption. We talk about apartheid. We talk about Israel’s connection with the far-right. We talk about impunity. We talk about how we can make Jews safe without an ethnostate.
If we start by calling them racist, we will lose those people and they won’t come back.
There are real stakes here. We’ve seen a genocide live streamed in front of eyes. With this profound evil, if someone thinks that the idea of a Zionism, the idea of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine can be separated from the reality of Israel’s as a state I .think they are wrong. But that’s not the most important question for the Green Party.
The question is ‘what are you going to do to stop the genocide and make Palestine free?’
Let’s organise not exclude and build a coalition for a free Palestine. Thank you.

“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.

A not insubstantial chunk of those attended (and in some cases joined) purely to vote for that motion, and left as soon as it passed. In one of their own words "this is a takeover, not a makeover". Motions have been raised unsuccessfully to address this vulnerability in the past.

I saw Carla Denyer's message then made the mistake of scrolling through the replies. The ppl supporting the motion are not interested in nuance, debate or learning. If you dont support it you are a fascist supporter of a racist state. End of. Really aggressive and really depressing.

With a membership greater than 230,000, less than 1% of the party membership voted on this. A little over 0.4% voted for it and a little under 0.4% voted against it. The effect of the vote on the whole party will be huge. I have questions. So many questions.

It's strange how the Greens have ballsed up their supposed breakthrough so thoroughly. Not only is it idiotic, it's bad politics. Particularly as Corbyn provided them with a map of where this all leads.
