UK Green Party Votes to Define Zionism as a Form of Racism, Prompting Criticism
The Green Party of England and Wales voted to classify Zionism as a form of racism, passing the motion by 1,022 to 813 votes at their 2026 annual conference. The policy calls for a single democratic Palestinian state across historic Palestine and rejects the two-state solution. The decision sparked criticism from British Jewish groups, the Labour Party, and Israel, which barred Green leader Zack Polanski from entering the country. Supporters argue the motion targets Zionism as a political ideology, not Jewish identity.
