@WPerplexed@ZackPolanski@andyburnham Nuance like; "How many innocent people is the only Jewish state allowed to kill, displace, forcibly migrate before getting in trouble?"
@WPerplexed@ZackPolanski@andyburnham "Erase the only Jewish nation on the Earth" is a massively reductionist explanation of this notion and the wider debate.
The conversation from the Zionist perspective is utterly devoid of any nuance.
@simonpetar@HenMazzig Your statement implies a banning of Jewish religious practice by the Green Party, which is not the case. Zionism has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to practice Judaism in the UK. Freedom of religion is a fundamental value of the Green Party.
@WPerplexed@ZackPolanski@andyburnham No. The word 'woke' has been weaponised against people who care about others and think everyone deserves the right to live happily, healthily and with dignity. Jewish, Muslim, Immigrant, Trans whatever the fuck you are. But I say Israel is bad so I must be awful.
@WPerplexed@ZackPolanski@andyburnham Hang on, before all this the Greens were considered the woke party. And now we're the party of hate because we criticise Israel?
Explain that one to me.
@IsnitJustKit@skedeschi I've been asking everytime I see somebody say the Greens are racist/ antisemitic. And genuinely nobody ever responds. Usually I get blocked without even an attempt at a reply. You're right, it's pathetic.
@WPerplexed@ZackPolanski@andyburnham The amendment really needed more fleshing out. BUT Jews will not be punished for practicing their faith regardless of whether they're Zionist or not. That is a ridiculous suggestion.
It just means if you're not Zionist, but your synagogue is, you'll be treated as you are too.
@M_B_Levin@JacksonMacmanus I think a state that isn't accepting of people who've lived there for as long as the Palestinians have, and is okay killing innocent civilians and bombing their homes to encourage migration, doesn't deserve to exist.
Being Jewish has nothing to do with this opinion.
@estnonmeaculpa@MothinAli@andyburnham Think for yourself. I've asked you twice why you think the Greens are antisemitic/ racist and you've referred me to opinions by other people.
@WPerplexed@ZackPolanski@andyburnham Because A) the original motion is about ZIONISM as a political ideology, not anything about being Jewish and B) the amendments didn't actually do anything to offer any protection (not that this motion means anyone needs protecting).
