Israel Calls Green Zionism Ruling 'Stain On History Of UK'
The Green Party of England and Wales passed a motion defining Zionism as "an ethnonationalist Jewish state."
The British Green Party has sparked outrage by declaring Zionism a form of racism, tarnishing the United Kingdom's historical reputation. The Green Party of England and Wales endorsed a motion defining Zionism as an ideology advocating for a Jewish state during its conference in Brighton. This motion, backed by 1,022 votes to 813, highlights internal fragmentation within the party over this contentious issue.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs harshly condemned the resolution, branding the Green Party as a body legitimizing terrorism by associating it with anti-Israel ideology. The Greens' stance not only embraces the green ideology of Hamas but also advocates for the destruction of Israel, echoing the eliminationist rhetoric of the Palestinian militant group.
Such a resolution, the Israeli government asserts, is beyond the realm of legitimate political discourse, casting a dark shadow over Britain's historical integrity. Politicians across the UK, particularly the ruling Labour Party, are urged to unequivocally reject this divisive and harmful resolution, lest it continue to stain the nation's history.
