Brighton:The UK Green Party has officially adopted an anti-Zionist stance, declaring Zionism a form of racism. This decision was made after party members voted on a motion during their annual conference held in Brighton.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the motion was introduced by the Greens for Palestine group within the party and received 1,022 votes in favor, with 813 votes against. This has now become the party's official policy.
The resolution not only opposes Zionism but also reaffirms the Green Party's commitment to supporting Palestinian liberation and the right of return for Palestinians. Additionally, it endorses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, calls for a comprehensive arms embargo on exports to Israel, and condemns Israeli war crimes.
