The Green Party motion on Zionism is antisemitic from first principles, extremist in its call for Israel to be eliminated, and likely to be anti-Jewish in its impact. A grim day for British Jews. everydayhate.substack.com/p/…
Mike Short retweeted
Asking Jews to pass a purity test and renounce self-determination according to a perverse interpretation arbitrarily applied, isn't just an extreme position, it’s a racist one.
That’s before we consider the Green party is now backing violent dismantling of Israel.
