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:

The Greens have adopted a policy which incites hatred against Jewish people following a majority of their party voting to declare “Zionism is racism”. It is clear that Islamic extremists and their sympathisers have captured the Green party. Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, Just Stop Oil, Palestine Action, The Green Party - Each time they regroup under a new name they get more extreme and brazen with their antisemitic goals. Zack Polanski is a traitorous coward.

They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on Preston City Council instead.
