Jewish Greens head may quit over party's 'Zionism is racism' motion

The UK Green Party voted 1,022 to 813 at its Brighton conference to treat Zionism as racism and call for Israel to be replaced by a single Palestinian state. Jewish Greens head Vivien Lichtenstein says she may leave, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis called the motion antisemitic, Israel barred leader Zack Polanski from entering, and a legal challenge under equality law is expected. The episode shows opposition to Israel's existence moving into a mainstream European party's binding policy, a pattern consistent with Scripture's picture of nations turning against Israel (Zechariah 12:3).
