Reposted by Yorkshire PaddyGeorge Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The "Zionism is racism" motion, to be debated at the Green Party conference tomorrow, will not advance the Palestinian cause one inch. But, if adopted, it would marginalise and discredit the party. There are powerful ways to confront the genocide. Toxic gesture politics isn't one of them. 106826144
