Green Party warned that motion declaring “Zionism is racism” is legally flawed and risks discrimination against Jewish members
The memorandum analyses Motion A105 / E12, titled “Zionism is Racism”, which has been submitted for debate at the party’s conference on 28 March 2026. According to UKLFI, the motion and its accompanying briefing rely on “definitional distortions, historical inaccuracies and legally unsustainable claims”.
UKLFI sent the memorandum to Harriet Lamb, CEO of the Green Party and Jon Nott Chair of the Green Party on 6 March 2026. No response has been received.
UKLFI’s memorandum argues that the motion wrongly characterises Zionism—a diverse political and cultural movement supporting Jewish self-determination—as inherently racist. The analysis states that such a characterisation ignores the historical complexity of the movement and the wide range of views held by those who identify as Zionists.
