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:
Defining Zionism as racism denies the Jewish people their basic right to self-determination and misrepresents a key part of Jewish identity. Zionism is the same as Polishness or Britishness yet no party would ever vote that either of them means racism.
They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on South Cambridgeshire District Council instead.
