Today, Lifeboat Saturday, I’d like to pay tribute to the many brave men and women who volunteer for the #RNLI, risking their lives to save others in grave danger. I’m appalled at the abuse and intimidation faced by RNLI crews in recent weeks. Let’s support and celebrate this incredible charity.

Aaaaannnndddd Zack is liking tweets telling people who oppose the Zionism is Racism motion 'sometimes things don't go your way' and 'to move on'. Right.

I wanted to speak on an amendment to motion EO2 Zionism is racism at Green Party conference today, but was not called on. I’ve copied over what I would have said in the next posts. I was heartbroken this amendment fell and that the vote went against providing this protection for Jewish members.

The problem is the proposers are already going further. In her speech to conference, Lubna Speitan said: [we need to] "Free all peoples from the oppression of Zionism". All people? This is an antisemitic world view.

To Jewish members of the Green Party: The motion proposers made clear in the debate that they have no intention for Jewish members to feel targeted for their beliefs or associations. So like Siân, if anyone does try to use it in this way, I will be there for you with my solidarity and support.

The ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion has passed at Green Party conference. While there are many parts of the motion I can agree with, there are some that I could not, so I did not vote for it. Here is a joint statement from the Green Party leadership team and all of us Green MPs:

I am horrified and depressed that @greenparty.org.uk conference voted to declare Zionism is Racism. This new policy will lead to Jewish members being disciplined for not being sufficiently AntiZionist. The way Jewish Greens officers have already been attacked in the Canary and Tribune proves this.

It's three years ago today, by the Jewish calendar, that Hamas attacked Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians including women, babies and older people, and taking 250 hostages, again, mostly civilians. And starting Israel's devastating, destructive war on Hamas in Gaza. 🧵 1/5

A Green Party activist messages in on the 'Zionism is Racism' motion being debated today (DMs open for other thoughts from members etc)

I will be voting against the Zionism is Racism at The Green Party Conference today. There are many reasons, but above all I feel the motion goes against my fundamental beliefs around consent, autonomy, agency, and self determination. These values are also enshrined in the Philosophical Basis..

An awful lot of words cloaking the fact that she's warning that the Green Party is going to be seen as batshit Jew-haters if this motion passes.

My thoughts on tomorrow's conference motion 'Zionism is Racism’

The "Zionism is racism" motion, to be debated at the Green Party conference tomorrow, will not advance the Palestinian cause one inch. But, if adopted, it would marginalise and discredit the party. There are powerful ways to confront the genocide. Toxic gesture politics isn't one of them.

My statement on motion E02, Zionism is Racism

My thoughts on tomorrow's conference motion 'Zionism is Racism’

With love and respect to every colleague and fellow member, here is my personal view on motion E02, which Greens are set to debate tomorrow as part of our afternoon plenary.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

So when Jews said that "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" meant the destruction of Israel, the world told us, don't over react, it just means calling for Palestinian freedom. Greens4Palestine have now cleared that up! Stop gaslighting Jews.

This motion is about the liberation of Palestinians from the ideology that suppresses them: Zionism. We judge Zionism by what it is in reality, not what it could be in theory. When we speak of Zionism, we speak of an ideology Palestinians have endured for nearly eighty years.

This video makes it crystal clear the 'Zionism is Racism' motion intends to replace Jews in Israel with a Palestinian state for Palestinians. The motion also endorses the use of violence in order to do so. If it passes, @greenparty.org.uk will be #antisemitic and terrorist.

A third runway for Heathrow in the face of a climate emergency? The Government's own climate advisors say no! Ministers must withdraw support for this reckless plan that only benefits wealthy airport bosses, and support the buses and trains we use every day instead.
