• Cllr Dave RowanColne Valley West, KirkleesReform UK Signed 13 OctoberHi, I stand with Israel, and the divide the left are creating in all our life’s is getting intolerable. Freedom of speech is eroding. The Jewish community are suffering in communities around the UK whilst the government and the lefty Liberals watch on, when the Jewish community who have lived among us for generations have caused no harm and asked for nothing. God be with you all and I will stand by your side. Regards Cllr Dave Rowan
• Cllr Steve ClarkRushden South, North NorthamptonshireReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr James WrightWinlaton and High Spen, GatesheadReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI firmly believe that Zionism is not racism, but rather the fundamental expression of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in their historic homeland. The Green Party’s recent conference vote to declare Zionism as racism is deeply divisive, alienates Jewish communities, and undermines the path toward a peaceful, negotiated two-state solution. I call on the Green Party leadership to listen to its own MPs, reverse this counterproductive motion, and return the party’s focus to environmental and social progress
• Cllr John Barry LumsdenOakley, North NorthamptonshireReform UK Signed 13 OctoberHistory Speaks for its self
• Cllr Brian BattleManor, StockportReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI fully support our Jewish community and call on members of the Green party to condemn the antisemitism within their ranks.
• Cllr Sandy BuchananSleaford Westholme, North KestevenReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI stand with the Jewish Community and their fundamental right to form a national identity in their ancestral homeland. Zionism seeks to protect a historically persecuted and indigenous minority from anti-semitism.
• Cllr George Gladstone-NewEgham, West SurreyReform UK Signed 13 Octoberthe Green party calling "Zionism is Racism" is utterly outrageous and they should be ashamed. All they are doing is trying to create division in society and there leader should stand down immediately due to this.
• Cllr Victor FloydBlackbrook, St. HelensReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr Denis McLeanPipers Hill, North NorthamptonshireReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI stand with all those in Israel 🇮🇱 and worldwide.

• Cllr Stan BryanCudworth, BarnsleyReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr James FrancisYaxley, HuntingdonshireReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr Alistair ColeHenley, CoventryReform UK Signed 13 OctoberFor a community to pursue it's security in the wake of centuries of persecution is not racism.
• Cllr Anthony UptonKidderminster - St Barnabas, WorcestershireReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr Andy LynchHorley West, Salfords & Sidlow, SurreyReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI believe the Jewish people have the same right to a homeland, security and self-determination as any other people. I stand firmly against antisemitism, racism and discrimination in all their forms. Supporting Israel's right to exist does not, in itself, make someone a racist. I believe in fairness, dignity and equal rights for all, and will challenge prejudice wherever i see it. I am proud to stand to stand against antisemitism, defend the right of the Jewish people to self-determination and uphold the principle that every person deserves to live in freedom, safety and dignity.
• Cllr Mike SaundersStanway, ColchesterReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr Neil GarlandBedworth North, WarwickshireReform UK Signed 13 OctoberWanting a country of your own and defending its people, history and culture is never racism. If only the British people were permitted to follow suit.
• Cllr Brendan MossSutton - South East, St. HelensReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI support the Jewish people’s right to self determination and to a safe and secure homeland.
• Cllr Gilly WomackFeatherstone - Ward 6, WakefieldReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI will always stand with the Jewish people
• Cllr Heidi WildhirtCleadon Park & Harton Moor, South TynesideReform UK Signed 13 OctoberIt is frightening to see Jewish people’s right to national self determination questioned and dismissed, less than a century after the Holocaust. Jewish people, like every people, deserve the same right to live in safety and determine their future. I find it deeply troubling that any political party should have to debate a motion that treats Zionism as inherently racist. I cannot understand how anyone could remain a member, let alone represent, a party that gives such a motion legitimacy. I stand firmly against antisemitism and in support of Jewish people’s right to a homeland.
• Cllr Shaun BarclayHarton, South TynesideReform UK Signed 13 OctoberI oppose racism in all its forms, i oppose antisemitism, and i support the rights and dignity of both Jewish and Palestinian people. Human rights should never be a competition, and standing up for one community should never require denying the rights of another. I oppose the Green Parties motion when they say Zionism is racism.
• Cllr Keith ClarkeRushden Lakes, North NorthamptonshireReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr Sean SmithSt Cleer & Menheniot, CornwallReform UK Signed 13 October
• Cllr Peter MacDonaldMinster Cliffs, SwaleReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr John WaineBulkington & Whitestone, WarwickshireReform UK Signed 12 OctoberThe recent sudden increase in antisemitism in Britain is, to say the least, alarming. The attempts by a rag-tag alliance of Left-wing organisations to rewrite history by denying the known facts of the Holocaust and equating Jews with the Nazis is a disgrace and an affront to humanity.
• Cllr Brett RosehillAldenham East, HertsmereReform UK Signed 12 OctoberZionism is the belief in Jewish self-determination in our ancestral homeland. It is part of my Jewish identity, and I will neither apologise for it nor allow others to define it for me. Proud Jew. Proud Zionist. No apologies. 🇮🇱

• Cllr Paul JeffreysBanbury Hardwick, CherwellReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr Steve LancasterHuntingdon North, HuntingdonshireReform UK Signed 12 OctoberThe Green party stance on making Zionism an offence is utterly wrong. I stand against it.

• Cllr Selina Ward-NicholsonEccleshill, BradfordReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr Ricki RandsShephall, StevenageReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr Alan Parker J.P.Monk Bretton, BarnsleyReform UK Signed 12 OctoberI stand with the Jewish people that Zionism is not racism. Contrary to what is said about Reform UK, we are against any type of racism and will not tolerate it in any form. What we are against is illegal immigration and how that disadvantages all British people, whatever race they originate from.
• Cllr Michael HarriganShiremoor, North TynesideReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr Gill FloydAlmondbury, KirkleesReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr Rob DarbyHart, HartlepoolReform UK Signed 12 OctoberI stand with our great Jewish friends. I support Israel.
• Cllr Duane FarrKinson, Bournemouth, Christchurch and PooleReform UK Signed 12 OctoberI am concerned about this motion as it is divisive, singling out Jewish people who believe in their right to a homeland.
• Cllr Louise BlackmanPerranporth, CornwallReform UK Signed 12 OctoberI believe Zionism, understood as support for Jewish self-determination in Israel, is not a racist ideology, while recognizing that reasonable people disagree and that Israeli government policies may be criticized like those of any other state.
• Cllr Robert JaggerArdsley and Robin Hood, LeedsReform UK Signed 12 October
• Cllr Rob WalshBrookfield, PrestonReform UK Signed 12 OctoberThe Greens have adopted a policy which incites hatred against Jewish people following a majority of their party voting to declare “Zionism is racism”. It is clear that Islamic extremists and their sympathisers have captured the Green party. Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, Just Stop Oil, Palestine Action, The Green Party - Each time they regroup under a new name they get more extreme and brazen with their antisemitic goals. Zack Polanski is a traitorous coward.
• Cllr Jonathan CloseEuxton, ChorleyReform UK Signed 12 OctoberI was absolutely appalled by this motion. The Green Party leadership is a disgrace and has badly let down their members and supporters. Most of whom are honest, decent people who just want to make this world a better place, hold no ill feeling towards the Jewish community, and are equally appalled by this. They must reverse this motion and apologise immediately to preserve any lingering credibility or respect for their party and membership.
