The Green Party of England and Wales has taken a historic stance by voting to acknowledge Zionism as a form of racism at their conference in Brighton, according to Middle East Eye. This unprecedented decision places the party as the first significant political entity in the UK to make such a declaration. The motion, which also advocated for a single democratic Palestinian state with equal rights for all ethnic and religious groups, received overwhelming support from party members, with 1,022 votes in favor compared to 813 votes against.
Co-Deputy Leader Mothin Ali expressed strong support for the motion, contrasting it with criticism from Green MPs Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay. Ali's perspective emphasized that Zionism, as defined in the motion, represents an ethno-nationalist state that leads to ethnic cleansing, fostering a belief that one group is superior to another.
