UK Greens face possible schism over motion to recognize 'Zionism is racism'

The Green Party of the United Kingdom could tear itself asunder at next week’s party conference, where a vocal sub-group will put forward a motion declaring “Zionism is racism” and calling for a single Palestinian state.

Greens 4 Palestine, a faction within the Green Party, has successfully pushed the motion to the top of the conference agenda. Members will now vote whether to affirm the motion, which would declare the Green Party an “anti-Zionist party” and that “Israel is an apartheid State committing genocide.”
