Israel Lobbyists Panicking; Green Party ‘Zionism Is Racism’ Motion Gets Through

Zionism is Racism motion got through and now the usual lobby pressure is trying to turn Green Party democracy into a legal panic. Right, so motion A105 as it was, The Zionism is Racism motion proposed for Green Party Spring Conference has now been prioritised, now being the 12th E motion to be discussed, motions categorised as E are ones that went through this prioritisation process basically, and is now sitting there as E12, which means the thing got through enough internal process to become real, not internet froth, not some draft in a side room, not some fever dream cooked up for a group chat, now sitting there 12th in the queue. And UK Lawyers for Israel have responded to all of this by firing off a memorandum treating all of this like a legal emergency, because of course they have. A motion called “Zionism is Racism” has moved onto the prioritised list for conference business, and one of the loudest pro-Israel legal pressure outfits in Britain has reacted by trying to make ordinary party debate look like unlawful conduct before members have even voted on it. Dress political disagreement up as institutional risk, wrap it in worried lawyer language, and hope people panic before they read the text. Well, they’re too late to the gate on this one and far be it from me to explain all the ins and out of exactly why that is, when my Green Party brother Tariq Khawaja has already done so – and brilliantly at that [CLIP] Everything you need to know right there. If you’re not already a Green, become one, ne part of this. If you are, be there online on Match 28th, sign up for Spring Conference, its all online, you don’t need to travel, you can have a say in the Green Party taking a stand against Zionism – it’s way past time we had one major mainstream political party in the UK stand against this racist white supremacist, colonialist affront to humanity, when so many others seem intent on being part of it instead.
