Has endorsed the campaign
Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its "Zionism is Racism" motion.
In their own words:
I believe the Jewish people have the same right to a homeland, security and self-determination as any other people. I stand firmly against antisemitism, racism and discrimination in all their forms. Supporting Israel's right to exist does not, in itself, make someone a racist. I believe in fairness, dignity and equal rights for all, and will challenge prejudice wherever i see it. I am proud to stand to stand against antisemitism, defend the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and uphold the principle that every person deserves to live in freedom, safety and dignity.
They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on Surrey County Council instead.

What is the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" motion?
On 4 October 2026 the Green Party of England and Wales passed a motion declaring that "Zionism is racism". It brands as racism the belief, held by around nine in ten British Jews, that the Jewish people have the right to a homeland of their own, and binds the party to treat that belief "as any other form of racism". Councillors and MPs of every other party are being asked to say, in public, that Zionism is not racism.
Should I email Cllr Andy Lynch about it?
