The Green Party is set to debate a resolution at its conference this weekend that would declare Zionism as a form of racism, making it party policy if passed.
- A resolution declaring Zionism as racism will be debated at the Green Party conference this weekend.
- If passed, the motion would become Green Party policy and would treat Zionism as any other form of racism.
- Green Party leader Zack Polanski has called for the motion to be amended.
A resolution proposing that Zionism be declared a form of racism is scheduled for debate at the Green Party conference this weekend. If the motion passes, it would become official party policy, treating Zionism as equivalent to other forms of racism.
Green Party activists who oppose the resolution have warned that such a policy could lead to the expulsion of members of self-described Zionist organisations, a category that reportedly includes almost every synagogue in Britain and globally.
Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, has called for the motion to be amended. The debate comes as Polanski hopes to win the Holborn and St Pancras by-election next Thursday.
Why this matters: The outcome of the debate could impact the Green Party's electoral standing, particularly in the upcoming Holborn and St Pancras by-election.
