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

Councillors who have put their name to it

Cllr Andy SmithAshtead, East SurreyLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberI was very saddened and dismayed by the Green Party conference vote to endorse this motion. It is divisive and harmful to community cohesion. A number of prominent Green politicians, councillors and former Green Party leaders warned against going in this direction. The conference should have heeded their advice.
Cllr Bryan BlackOxted South, TandridgeLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberI strongly disagree with motion passed by the Green Party. There is no evidence to back it. Israel is a country not only for Jewish people, but there Christians, Arabs, Muslims all living together. How can you call Zionists racists? Polanski is the leader of the party, and while he didn't vote he clearly doesn't have control of his party and should resign.
Cllr Deb ShinerOxted South, TandridgeLocal / Residents party Signed 12 October
Cllr Mark DobsonGarforth and Swillington, LeedsLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberI am progressing a White paper in council in November stating that Zionism is not racism.
Cllr Marc AmronBushey Park, HertsmereLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberAs a Hertsmere councillor and a proud British Jew,I call on the Green Party to reverse its deeply offensive motion equating Zionism with racism.Zionism is the belief that Jews, like other peoples, have the right to self determination in their ancestral homeland. Denying Jews that right, while upholding it for others is a glaring double standard. Criticising Israel’s government is legitimate; demonising Jewish national self-determination is not. At a time of rising antisemitism, the Green Party must recognise the gravity of its language. Equality must mean equality for Jews too.
Cllr Roger BaldwinLoughton Forest, Epping ForestLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberI believe that Israel has a right to exist. I too am absolutely disgusted by the Green Party and blatant far left policies.
Cllr Richard CohenLoughton Forest, Epping ForestLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberTHE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of UN. 1948
Cllr Philip WorkmanTewkesbury North & Twyning, TewkesburyLocal / Residents party Signed 12 October
Cllr Mick LeeShiregreen and Brightside, SheffieldLocal / Residents party Signed 12 OctoberThis show how little the Green understand as Zionism is primary a Juadism movement, but as it can have Christian Zionists too. The Greens are also showing why Zionism is needed as it start as Secluar movement again European Anti-Semitism.
