Green Party leader Zack Polanski did not handle the pointless and damaging conference motion about Zionism well. But why on earth would his own supporters create such a trap for him? By @sangitamyska.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/sangita-my...

hence much of the backlash and problems encountered since the motion's conception. I think more surgical care was needed in the content too, to maximise the motion's positive effect and minimise the flak from certain quarters, but here we are so where do we go from here?

Single state prescription and title aside, I agree with the rest of the motion, but the more careful and surgical content of the motion's text lands after the sledgehammer of the title has hit. We know many people don't read the small print and we know many people will do all sorts with the title...

It's racism, apartheid, ethno-supremacy, ethnic cleansing, genocide, a world of pain for Palestinian people and a lot of pain for Jewish people the world over too. 🙏🏻

I disagreed with the Green Party's 'Zionism is Racism' motion in the UK, partly because I see too much in the full cultural, global and historic spectrum of Zionism to label it all as racism, but Jewish people have to acknowledge the Zionist racism that flows from Israel into all of Palestine... 1

That's fair and true to say from the perspective of the Palestinian experience. There's more to it from the full global spectrum of the Jewish experience. Both are true at the same time.

Even if you think that Israel's destruction of Gaza has not yet met the legal threshold of genocide you should recognise that Israel's government and a large share of the electorate are set on the physical destruction and removal of Palestinian people between the River and the Sea.

I think, in the diasporic and non-statist aspects of Zionism, it's maybe not about prioritising safety over the safety of others. It's just about finding and maintaining safety after not having it for so long.

That's not what he's saying. He's a self-described anti-Zionist himself. He's just trying to show the full spectrum of the word's meaning to the whole of the Jewish religion, which is about much more than the Israeli brand of Zionism.

Paul Kindling @paulkindling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Within the borders of Israel and Palestine, yes, I think you are absolutely right but there is more to Zionism in a global context and it isn't all attached to or supportive of the Israeli state. @yairwallach.bsky.social has written about this too. 🙏🏻

Paul Kindling @paulkindling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

community and religion wherever they happen to be living, thus being about so much more than a presence in Palestine. @femi-oluwole.bsky.social put it well in his speech at the party conference - Zionism leads to racism in Israel's case but it isn't necessarily racism. 🙏🏻

Paul Kindling @paulkindling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Some cultural Zionists wrote about having a presence in Palestine whilst living peacefully with Arabs and Muslims, learning their language and integrating into their culture. On a day to day basis for many Jewish people elsewhere on the planet, cultural Zionism is about maintaining safety...

Not according to all of the takes on Zionism I've been reading about. There are non-statist versions too. We're talking about a global religion here. That's a lot of different perspectives under one banner.

Does it help Jewish people, Palestinian people, supporters of either, or the clarity of the anti-Israeli Zionism argument to label all of Zionism racism? No. I don't think it does. With love 🙏 End

Does the horrific impact of Israeli Zionism overtake all thought of other perspectives on Zionism for most people on the planet? Yes Is this understandable given the horror we are witnessing? Yes Do we have to ask supporters of Israel to examine their support of structural racism? Yes 5

For some Jewish people, Zionism has been all about their safety, community and religion wherever they happen to live on the planet. For others, it's included connection with and presence in a spiritual homeland in Palestine, whilst being against the creation of a Jewish state... 2

Paul Kindling @paulkindling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

We have to call Israel out for its racism, apartheid and genocide. Israel's conduct in Palestine is all of those things and they do stem from its Political Zionism. Cultural Zionism did not call for a Jewish state in Palestine and other non-statist strains of Zionism grew from it... 1

it is sytemic racism at the very least. In its full global and historic context, Zionism is more than racism. Much of its modern manifestation is racism but not all of it. 🙏🏻

Paul Kindling @paulkindling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Yet not all Zionism asks for a nation state. Some perspectives are 'non-statist' and for others with a loose attachment to Israel, Zionism is about so much more. In the context of Israel and Palestine, it is absolutely the zenith of racist settler colonialism. In the context of support for Israel...

It's worth listening to @mrnishkumar.bsky.social on the 'Zionism is Racism' motion from the Green Party conference. He mentions the need for belt and braces clarity when tackling racism, and I don't think the motion achieved that.

I've done a little research and it looks like you'll need to travel to North Wales or the Lake District to find a place where you can try them on. You could plump for a size online (hand width can come out a little narrow) or find other mittens made for winter mountains in the Bristol stores.
