Has endorsed the campaign
Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its "Zionism is Racism" motion.
In their own words:
The state of Israel has the right to exist, and the Palestinian people should have their own land with a right to self determination. Equating zionism with racism does not support either Israelis or Palestinians and is divisive when we need collaborative action.
They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on Torfaen County Borough Council instead.
