UK Green Party to vote on defining Zionism as racism; chair refuses to affirm Israel's right to exist

At the UK Green Party conference in Brighton, a motion is being voted on that defines Zionism as racism and calls for a 'democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine.' Party chair Zak Goldsmith, who is Jewish and anti-Zionist, declined to state whether Israel has a right to exist, saying 'People have a right to exist.' This reflects internal party tensions and a shift in the party's stance on Israel, though the party's political power remains marginal.
