Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its "Zionism is Racism" motion.

In their own words:

I have always been clear that antisemitism is unacceptable and that Jewish people deserve the same respect, dignity and right to self-determination as any other people. For that reason, I am happy to support the statement: "Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its 'Zionism is Racism' motion." I will continue to oppose antisemitism and all forms of racism and discrimination. Kind regards, Cllr Graham Cheatley (REFORM UK) North Northamptonshire Council
