UK activist group launches ‘Some people are Zionist! Get over it!’ campaign

The group launched the campaign in response to the Green Party conference's vote on October 4, by 1,022 votes to 813, to pass a motion declaring "Zionism is racism."

A non-Jewish activist group in the UK, Our Fight, launched a campaign titled "Some people are Zionist! Get over it!" on Saturday. The group stood by Winston Churchill's statue in Parliament Square, challenging British antisemitism. The campaign came in response to the Green Party conference's vote on October 4, which passed a motion declaring "Zionism is racism."

Mark Birbeck, founder and director of Our Fight, explained that the group is standing as proud Zionists to counter the antisemitism hysteria. The campaign is part of their broader "mensch campaign" that aims to encourage non-Jewish allies to show visible solidarity with the Jewish community amid rising antisemitism.
