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:
This is really simple. All Zionism means is the right of the Jewish people who have been subject to blood libels, discrimination, exclusion, expulsion, pogroms and mass murder throughout the centuries to a homeland of their own. The rights of other peoples to a state of their own is not considered racist so there is no rational reason why the right of the Jewish people to a homeland should be treated as such.
They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on St Albans City and District Council instead.
