Has endorsed the campaign

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

In their own words:

Jewish self-determination is a right. Declaring it racist is an attack on Jews. The Green party has chosen to brand Jews who hold this belief as racists and make their equal participation in the party conditional on renouncing it. This is without doubt the most antisemitic and racist motion brought before a mainstream political party in my lifetime. It is Corbynism on steroids.

They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on the London Borough of Southwark instead.
