Yes. Cllr Raph Cohn put their name to it on 12 October 2026: "Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its "Zionism is Racism" motion." In their own words: "Last week was the worst week I can remember for British Jews. We are told we are racists because we believe in a nation-state. We have open celebration of the worst pogrom since the Second World War, when Jews and others were mutilated, raped to death and murdered simply because they exist. When evil boasted of its exploits. And then on Friday, when the antisemite Navi Pillay once the Nobel Peace Prize."

On 4 October 2026 the Green Party of England and Wales passed a motion declaring that "Zionism is racism". It brands as racism the belief, held by around nine in ten British Jews, that the Jewish people have the right to a homeland of their own, and binds the party to treat that belief "as any other form of racism". Councillors and MPs of every other party are being asked to say, in public, that Zionism is not racism.
