I wanted to speak on an amendment to motion EO2 Zionism is racism at Green Party conference today, but was not called on. I’ve copied over what I would have said in the next posts. I was heartbroken this amendment fell and that the vote went against providing this protection for Jewish members.
Text of amendment 3 to motion EO2 Zionism is racism

Safeguarding Jewish party membership

This amendment is to mitigate the possiblity that this motion could be used to achive indirect discrimination against practising Jews

Add after actions 2. ADD

This motion shall not be used to pressure, proscribe or discipline members based on affiliation with Jewish community institutions, such as synagogues, community centres or denominational groups, that describe themselves as Zionist or used to discipline or sanction Jewish members for expressing views that would be non sanctionable if expressed by non Jewish members such as (such as support for a binational state, or two state solution).

Please please support Imagination Library. I have met children who only owned books because of it. Families who learned to read together. And please support your local music education initiatives. Dolly got instruments in kids’ hands and paid their way into contests without even telling the kids.

Drilling for oil and gas will absolutely not lower bills. It's sold on the international market. And the idea of this being for jobs is utter nonsense. Jackdaw would create about 27 jobs. So when is the moment Andy Burnham will take the heatwaves & the climate crisis seriously?

This is an outrageous failure from Andy Burnham and this Labour Government. He says they "don't know the remedy." It's obvious to almost anyone. Nationalise water companies. Tax fossil fuel companies. Invest in renewables. Labour selling us down the river to please their donors as country burns.
