UK Greens becomes first openly declared anti-Zionist mainstream party in Europe
On Saturday, Polanski told the Conference, "We stand with one voice now as we say: 'Drop the charges. End the genocide. Deproscribe Palestine Action.'"
The UK Green Party has become the first mainstream political party in Europe to declare itself openly anti-Zionist after voting in favor of the controversial "Zionism is Racism" motion at its party conference in Brighton, UK, on Sunday. The motion, which recognizes Zionism as the foundational ideology of an apartheid regime in Israel and supports the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state, passed with 1,022 votes to 813.
However, some Jewish members of the party remain divided on the motion, with the Jewish Greens group indicating they will not take an official position. The party's stance has sparked controversy and concerns over antisemitism within the organization.
