Green Party of England and Wales passes "Zionism Is Racism" motion

  • By a vote of 1,022 to 813, the party adopted a motion titled "Zionism Is Racism."
  • The motion defines Zionism as "an ethnonationalist Jewish State in historic Palestine to the exclusion and/or domination of the non-Jewish population" and directs that it be "treated as any other form of racism."
  • The motion commits the party to a single Palestinian state covering all of historic Palestine, and rejects equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
  • The author cites a Jewish Policy Research survey finding at least two-thirds of British Jews call themselves Zionists.
Removed: the author's moral judgments about the vote ("dangerous line," "unacceptable"), and interpretive claims about what the motion means for British Jews beyond the cited survey figure.
