The ZiR motion is such a huge pivotal one for the GPEW. Why not just put it to the full membership via email vote? This is not so difficult to do & would demonstrate the Green Party is truly democratic & willing to listen to the whole membership on big issues.

It was a coordinated political hit job on Corbyn. The Gaurdian kowtowed too. It’s the same for Polanski right now, and he & GPEW gave them the ammo. Polanski was / is? a threat to the power and profits of the elites. Anyone who threatens their bottom line has to be silenced.

Wikipedia is the latest to be targeted by rogue AIs. We're learning about some of these attacks months later, and often not from the AI companies. The AIs weren't told to hack anyone. They just do it. AI companies can't control what they're building.

You can see just from the responses on here how divided green folk are on this issue. History shows time & again a divided political party is a weak political party. So much wasted energy that will in the end not help stop genocide & help the Palestinians.

Absolutely. History shows a divided party is also a weak & ineffective party. Most people don’t see further than headlines & hear only the spoutings of establishment spin docs. Every Interview of a Green politician will mean defending this motion at great expense.

“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.

Administratively the NHS is in the hands of a bunch of privatisation enthusiasts, enriching themselves covertly & apparently legally through investments in those same transnational corporations to whom they direct NHS services, e.g. Samantha Jones owning the Keys Group. Palantir is of the same ilk.
