Most of focus on the Greens' Zionism is Racism motion has been on its title. But it's worth reading the document in full: it is a comprehensive call for Palestinian liberation, authored by Palestinians

Political parties, trade unions, multilateral organisations and governments across the globe must immediately begin adopting the same policies. This document is now the gold standard - and the bare minimum

***

Synopsis

This motion defines Zionism, recognises its continued harm to Palestinians, and seeks to clarify that the Green Party is opposed to Zionism. It further affirms the right to self-determination and liberation of the Palestinian people and supports the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine.

Motion text

Zionism is a political ideology which called for the creation – and, now it exists, the continuity – of an ethnonationalist Jewish State in historic Palestine to the exclusion and/or domination of the non-Jewish population. The real, material manifestation of Zionism has been the historic and ongoing dehumanisation, displacement, dispossession, disenfranchisement and destruction of Palestinians. This is based upon European settler-colonial systems of domination and oppression, which has also created racial hierarchies between Jews of different ethnicities in Palestine.

CONFERENCE RESOLVES THAT:

1. The Green Party declares itself to be an anti-Zionist party.

2. The Green Party rejects attempts to normalise the racist subjugation and oppression of Palestinians; to equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism; to deny or minimise Palestinian human rights; to create hierarchies of racism; and to normalise or attempt to justify apartheid, ethnic cleansing or genocide. We affirm that definitions of anti-Jewish discrimination should not equate Jewish identity with Zionist ideology or political practice. As with any ethnicity or faith group, no single political ideology should be ascribed to an entire people.

3. Following from Motion E05, which affirmed that Israel is an apartheid State committing genocide, and Motion E07 supporting reparations and accountability, the Green Party supports the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian State in all of historic Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital, equal rights for all, and the right of return for Palestinians and their descendants.

4. The Green Party affirms the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination, including the right of the Palestinian people to resistance and liberation from Israeli occupation, domination and subjugation, and acknowledges that the struggle to achieve that liberation by all available means under international law is legitimate.

5. The Green Party heeds the call from Palestinian civil society to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era, and calls upon the United Kingdom Government to impose full embargoes and sanctions against Israel.

6. The Green Party calls for the release of all Palestinian prisoners of conscience (including Marwan Barghouti), the end of the use of administrative detention of Palestinians by Israel, and the treatment of Palestinian combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law, including in particular those provisions dealing with prisoners of war in the First Additional Protocol of the 1977 amendments to the Four Genevan Conventions of 1949 relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts.

7. The Green Party calls for the removal of Palestine Action from the list of proscribed organisations in Schedule 2 to the Terrorism Act 2000 (i.e. de-proscription).

8. The Green Party calls for the release of all prisoners detained for non-violent direct action in support of Palestinian rights and the end of the genocide, apartheid and the illegal occupation of Palestine and supports the demands of the Prisoners for Palestine.

ACTIONS FOR THE PARTY TO TAKE:

The Green Party adopts the following action points:

This motion will be incorporated into the Green Party’s Record of Policy Statements as appropriate and promoted in accordance with our rules and procedures.

Zionism, as defined above, will be treated as any other form of racism.

We affirm our commitment to explicitly opposing Zionism in our internal and external communications going forward.

The UK and Welsh Parliaments, the London and Mayoral Assemblies, and Local Councils and Local Authorities must exercise their authority to end the genocide, occupation and apartheid. Elected Green representatives will continue to put pressure on all and any relevant bodies to achieve these goals. This motion ensures our positions comply with international law, equity, and our commitment to justice and human rights.

MPs, London and Mayoral Assembly Members, Councillors, and prospective Members of the Senedd should take measures at their respective chambers to create local, sub-national, and national action for Palestine, ending any investments in Israel; demanding peace and accountability, and an end to the egregious violations of international humanitarian law and the genocide conventions, and an immediate move towards accountability, reparations, and justice for the Palestinian people.

Never forget, for all its faults the DDR was the *only* Germany that's ever existed that didn't perpretrate any genocide(s), but also helped fight imperialism the world over, providing substantial support to anti-colonial movements. What happened to *this* legacy?

Today is the third anniversary of the start of the Gaza genocide.

Take the time to remember the traitors. The grifters. The sellouts. The scumbags who used this tragedy to further their careers, and to add insult to injury, assist Israel. Whether it be in Palestine, or in issues beyond it.

From Zohran Mamdani to Abdul Sayed, to JVP to DSA, and others within America itself.

To those around the world who support the initiatives of Israel's primary ally, the United States. From every sanction, to every bomb, to every NGO, to every regime change op. Gaza is one front of a global problem.

These tricksters, who feign "support" for Palestine, are more dangerous and destructive to the Palestinian cause than Netanyahu or Ben Gvir. A movement that gets misled gets destroyed and ends up serving the enemy.

Even Obama himself was "pro Palestine" at one point, going to events and meeting figures like Edward Said. All a sham. He ended up conducting more wars than Bush, including several destructive wars in Gaza, yet Bush kept the reputation while most remember Obama fondly with rose tinted glasses.

Never forget and always remain vigilant.

Bombs, warplanes and alliances against Yemenis. But for Palestine they couldn’t even cut trade and oil to help stop the genocide. Sickening world

[Workers Party of Britain @WorkersPartyGB]

We are pleased to see the Zionism is Racism motion passed in full and without amendment at Green Party conference today. This is a victory for anti-Zionist activists both inside and outside the party.

However, the Zionist lobby and its representatives in the leadership, including Zack Polanski and MPs, who openly denounced the motion, will continue to undermine it in practice and push for its reversal. They will always be the enemy within.

The Green Party also continues to be a vehicle for capitalism, imperialism and war as long as it supports NATO, the EU and the war against Russia, which are also pro-Zionist projects.

[Workers Party of Britain @WorkersPartyGB]

Smash NATO! Smash imperialism!

No foreign state should have military bases on British soil.

That not only is this the case, but that bombing campaigns against Iran are conducted from bases like RAF Fairford is treacherous.

Left-Zionism permits criticism of the excesses of Zionism to run cover for and legitimise Zionist project.

No different to how left Labour MPs legitimise the party, or the Greens the regime.

They are but the left flank of the components of the system.
