The problem with Israel isn't a particular leader or a specific government. The state itself practices apartheid. Its citizen army carried out genocide with overwhelming public approval.
That's why the Greens are right to call Zionism, Israel's foundational ideology, racist.
Labour talking heads stating that the Zionism is Racism motion damaged the Greens electoral ability
The motion did more damage to Labour’s credibility than the Greens. It proved Labour led by Burnham is no different to Starmer’s Labour, despite Miliband’s performative gestures.
Who could have predicted Monbiot throwing an eco-socialist movement under the bus because his mates in the establishment media threw a shit-fit about it?
Except literally everyone who saw him do it last time.
@Seanchuckle Nah it’s been all over the news man, things will never be the same, 69% of even Tory voters believe it’s genocide man, they’re not coming back. It has fuck all to do with the greens and everything to do with the message
@geekgoddess2024@ConstanceSpryy@comrade_kumar_@justinpodur How - ? I’m not racist, I don’t hate people, I don’t wear an army uniform, I don’t do silly salutes, I haven’t killed anyone, I haven’t advocated for killing anyone, I believe in democracy. I don’t advocate for genocide.
If you vote for the Labour candidate in Holborn & St Pancras you are voting for a Party that continues to support the slaughter of children being committed & justified in the name of the evil racist ideology called Zionism.

The BBC is determined to ask every supporter of Zionism if Zionism is racism. Unfortunately it can't ask the victims of Zionism because they were all killed by Israel.
Actually I think “Zionism is Racism” is perfect because it forces Britain’s liberals, the self-proclaimed Principled Anti-Racists, wielders of our absurdly skewed hierarchy of racism, to reckon with themselves being racist. Which they are
Some of the arguments, even and especially on the left, boil down to 'let's reject the Holocaust without naming the ethnonationalism that drove it or 'Lets condemn the Irish and Bengal famines without saying 'colonial.'You would at once see that as an incoherent copout.
This story is actually the useless leader of Brighton council, @BellaSankey, threatening to block the Green Party from using the conference centre over a political position – anti–zionism – that is protected under British law.
We should simply sue Labour if they attempt this
If you are resigning from the Greens because the Establishment are attacking them you are probably right to do so. Because you are obviously not up to the fight that is needed to tackle power and make change. They won’t give up their power easily and we’ll see many such attacks.
