• Cllr Victoria SenaShere, West SurreyConservative Signed 13 OctoberI stand with the Jewish community and support the protection of their rights and identity.

• Cllr Bob HughesShere, West SurreyConservative Signed 13 OctoberAnyone who believes in equality should support the State of Israel. It has been repeatedly and very often daily attacked by its neighbours and terrorists groups on all sides. Their murderous attacks should not be rewarded with support for a caused backed by so may antisemites.
• Cllr Sean McMasterCouncillor Sean McMasterConservative Details, East Riding of YorkshireConservative Signed 13 OctoberThe motion that was passed at the Green Party at their annual conference is a disgrace. How a supposed 'mainstream' political party has been allowed to pass such a dispicable motion is beyond belief. Zionism is NOT racism and I stand firmly in support of our Jewish communities and with the state of Israel and its right to exist.

• Cllr Morris Bright MBEPotters Bar West and Shenley, HertfordshireConservative Signed 12 OctoberAs the Hertfordshire County Councillor for Potters Bar West & Shenley, including Studio Way in Borehamwood, and the Hertsmere Borough Councillor for Elstree, I add my name, voice and support, to those who, like me, are deeply saddened and greatly disturbed by what has transpired. Let us hope and pray that common sense prevails soon.
• Cllr Zak WagmanStanmore, HarrowConservative Signed 12 October
• Cllr David Michael FordBaildon, BradfordConservative Signed 12 OctoberJust to say I fully support your pledge and condemn the Green Party for the motion they passed at their conference. I was a member of the Green Party for 30 years and sat as a councillor for them 2000-2007, as well as a Parliamentary candidate in 2010. I left the party in 2016 because of the rising antisemitism in the party, after being active in a group called GreensAgainstAntisemitism. The Jew hate in the Green Party is now beyond anything in my worse nightmares. [They] are an openly antisemitic party, on a par with groups like the NF in the past.
• Cllr Simon EardleySaughall and Mollington, Cheshire West and ChesterConservative Signed 12 OctoberZionism is the right to Jewish self-determination in their ancestral homeland. The Green Party, in passing its “Zionism is racism” motion, shames them in the most despicable way, effectively siding them with the ideology of extremists like Hamas. This extreme and racist motion has no place in British politics. I’m proud to be a Zionist. The people of Israel live. #AmYisraelChai 🇮🇱
• Cllr Stephen GreekHarrow Weald, HarrowConservative Signed 12 October
• Cllr Kieron MallonBanbury Calthorpe and Easington, CherwellConservative Signed 12 October
• Cllr Kieron MallonBanbury Easington, OxfordshireConservative Signed 12 October
• Cllr Ian CampbellAbbots Langley and Bedmond, Three RiversConservative Signed 12 October
• Cllr Marc FrostWixams and Wilstead, BedfordConservative Signed 12 OctoberThe Jewish people have the same right to self determination, security and a homeland as any other people. To label that belief as racism is wrong, divisive and risks fuelling antisemitism. We should be bringing communities together, not creating further division.
• Cllr Martyn PunyerArmitage with Handsacre, LichfieldConservative Signed 12 OctoberI wholeheartedly condemn the Green Party's adoption of the "Zionism is Racism" motion policy. It is an afront to the Jewish people and to all who believe that Jews have the right to live in peace.
