• Cllr Victoria SenaShere, West SurreyConservative Signed 13 OctoberI stand with the Jewish community and support the protection of their rights and identity. It is deeply concerning that such a statement is even necessary, and I urge political parties to reflect on the impact their words have on minority communities.
• Cllr Judith LubbockEaton, NorwichLiberal Democrat Signed 13 October
• Cllr Dave RowanColne Valley West, KirkleesReform UK Signed 13 OctoberHi, I stand with Israel, and the divide the left are creating in all our life’s is getting intolerable. Freedom of speech is eroding. The Jewish community are suffering in communities around the UK whilst the government and the lefty Liberals watch on, when the Jewish community who have lived among us for generations have caused no harm and asked for nothing. God be with you all and I will stand by your side. Regards Cllr Dave Rowan

• Cllr James WrightWinlaton and High Spen, GatesheadReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI firmly believe that Zionism is not racism, but rather the fundamental expression of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in their historic homeland. The Green Party’s recent conference vote to declare Zionism as racism is deeply divisive, alienates Jewish communities, and undermines the path toward a peaceful, negotiated two-state solution. I call on the Green Party leadership to listen to its own MPs, reverse this counterproductive motion, and return the party’s focus to environmental and social progress
