Racial Supremacist States Have No Right To Exist – To Caroline Lucas I have One question – How Many Palestinians Must Die Before You Abandon Zionism? Six Million?
The Lies of Freedland & the Media That Zionism is About Protecting Jews is a Narrative That Died Alongside Thousands of Palestinian Children
It was a scam – a dirty f****** scam – the Labour Antisemitism Smear Campaign by Glenn Jenkins
Tony Greenstein Interviewed on the Crispin Show About the Green Party Zionism=Racism Motion 11.10.26
The press onslaught and media lies directed at the Green Party’s Zionism is Racism motion would have made Goebbels jealous with envy. What it proves is that the Green Party was absolutely right to pass the motion.
Neither the press nor the BBC attempted to present the motion from the perspective of those who supported it. Falsehoods and lies were the order of the day. You could be forgiven for thinking that it mandated the killing of all the Jewish first-born.
WE ARE BEING LIED TO: Richard Sanders EXPOSES Green Party Zionism is Racism Smears
There were firstly the vile attacks on Lubna Speitan, the British-Palestinian who moved the motion. Leading the pack was the Jewish Chronicle who revealed that Lubna was ‘was ‘close friend’ of al-Qaeda terrorist.’ A total lie.
For the Jewish Chronicle and the rest of the press pack attacking the messenger is more preferable than dealing with the message.
Then there were the spurious allegations, led by Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian, Britain’s most dishonest journalist and the author of the ‘Anti-Semitism’ attacks on Jeremy Corbyn that the resolution was ‘anti-Semitic’. Apparently the motion was an ‘attempt to tell Jews how to think.’ Only Freedland could tell this lie without blushing.
The TRUTH About Zionism And Racism – Owen Jones
What is interesting is how quickly the mass media and politicians gathered like a hunting pack to defend Zionism against the accusation that it is racist. Gone were the tentative suggestions that Israel had maybe, perhaps committed war crimes,
If Iran had committed a fraction of Israel’s atrocities it would have been demonised. Israel however has a warrant for genocide and much more. Whatever it does can be put down to Netanyahu. After all there are elections soon when a new set of monsters will be elected.
Although the press can no longer pretend that Israel isn’t committing war crimes when even the Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband accepts that they are (although the Mail and The Telegraph do their best to pretend otherwise) they are determined to ensure that their readers are kept in ignorance of why Israel behaves as it does.
On no account therefore must there be a serious debate on what Zionism really is and why it leads inexorably to ethnic cleansing, war crimes and genocide. Israel is too important a player in the imperialist ecosystem for people to begin questioning what it is that makes Israel anything but a normal state.
Discussion and debate about Zionism, which is the ideology of the Israeli state, must be avoided at all costs. Yet it is Zionism which explains why the genocide has taken place and the overwhelming racism among Israeli Jews that enables it to commit ethnic cleansing and war crimes by dehumanising the Palestinians.
The pretence has to be maintained that the ‘Jewish’ state is a democratic state which has gone astray, departed from its origins as a paragon of virtue. The Nakba too must be avoided wherever possible. Adrian Ramsay the Green MP who has denounced the motion is reported to have never even heard of the Nakba. As Henry Ford once said, history is bunk.
The mere fact that British politicians and the media are falling over themselves to denounce the Zionism is Racism motion demonstrates that its movers were absolutely correct to propose it. It changes the debate from one over human rights to the political question of why Israel behaves as it does.
The decision of Sandy Ruthven, Chair of Amnesty International UK to resign over the motion, accusing the Green Party of “failing to confront prejudice” and ‘courting the hard left vote’ means he’s got to go if Amnesty is to retain any credibility. Perhaps Ruthven isn’t aware that the policy of Amnesty is that Israel is an apartheid state. What is Israeli Apartheid if not racist and a creation of Zionism?
According to Amnesty’s Sandy Ruthven, Israeli Apartheid is not Racist because its wrong to call out Zionism as racist
Anyone who is in any doubt about the level of racism in Israel can look up YNet’s article in 2007, 16 years before October 7, ‘Marriage to an Arab is national treason’ in which over half Israel’s Jewish population held marriage of a Jewish woman to an Arab man was ‘national treason’. Note that the respondents didn’t object on religious but racial grounds.
75% did not approve of apartment buildings being shared between Arabs and Jews, 60% said they would not allow an Arab to visit their home, 40% of participants agreed that “Arabs should have their right to vote for Knesset revoked” and over half agreed that Israel should encourage its Arab citizens to leave the country.
Over half said they would not want to work under the direct management of an Arab and 55% said “Arabs and Jews should be separated at entertainment sites”. 31% said they felt hatred and 50% said they felt fear when hearing Arabic spoken and over 56% said they believed that Israel’s Arab citizens posed both a security and a demographic threat to the country.
This child is the victim of the Israeli state, that Caroline Lucas and the Green MPs are defending
By 2025 things had considerably worsened. A Pennsylvania State University poll found that 82% supported the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, some 60% wanted to kill every Palestinian in Gaza and 56% wanted to expel all Arabs.
Israel PANICS After UK Green Party Declares Zionism Is Racism
Israel is a structurally racist society. Israeli Arabs are confined to just 2.5% of the land when they are 20% of the population. Israeli policy restricts Palestinians to dense population centers while maximizing the land available for Jewish communities. Hundreds of Jewish only communities are legally entitled to bar Arabs from living there. 93% of Israeli land is owned or controlled by the Jewish National Fund which bars Arabs from access to ‘Jewish’ land.
Arabs are scapegoated when anything goes wrong, for example the wildfires every summer are blamed on Israel’s Arabs. Half the Arab villages in the Negev are ‘unrecognised’, which means they receive no electricity or running water and are liable at a moment’s notice to be demolished as frequently happens.
Why doesn’t Israel give equal democratic rights to the 3+ million Palestinians living on the West Bank? The answer is, ‘because Israel is a Jewish state’. To all these questions Zionism is the answer.
It was Israel’s Prime Minister, Netanyahu who said that Israel’s is a state of its Jewish citizens not all of its citizens. What better description of Apartheid and racism is there than that.

What Zionism is Not
Bella Sankey, the leader of Brighton and Hove Council was in the news threatening to bar the Green Party from hiring Brighton’s Conference Centre because of the Zionism is Racism motion. Sankey, who is not the sharpest tool in the box, exclaimed that the motion
dangerously conflated the right of Jewish self-determination with the actions of the Israeli government and risked “the safety of Jewish members and Jewish people more broadly”.
The motion didn’t mention Jewish self-determination. It talked about Zionism. Zionism is not self-determination for anyone, least of all Jews.
Zionism was imposed upon Jews. Until the Holocaust most Jews were opposed to Zionism. It was Christian Zionism, in the shape of the anti-Semitic Foreign Minister Arthur James Balfour, who set in train the adoption of Zionism by the British Empire.
One only need read the Pittsburgh Declaration of Reform Jewry in 1885 which stated, Point 5, that
We recognize, in the modern era of universal culture of heart and intellect, the approaching of the realization of Israel’s great Messianic hope for the establishment of the kingdom of truth, justice, and peace among all men. We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community, and therefore expect neither a return to Palestine, nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concerning the Jewish state.
Jewish Greens’ Comms Officer – Annie Gottfried Cohen – talking about the Green Party’s new policy on Palestine. As featured on the Rachel Johnson show, LBC
After approaches by British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston in 1840 and the Earl of Shaftesbury, on 7 November 1842, the Board of Deputies declared that they would not support any scheme based on a ‘return’ of Jews to Syria or Palestine. Their principal concern was the achievement of Jewish Emancipation, which they achieved in 1858.
Christian Zionism predated Jewish Zionism by 4 centuries. Was Christian Zionism a manifestation of Jewish self-determination? It was paid up anti-Semites, from Eduard Drumont, the leader of the anti-Dreyfusards to William Stanley Shaw, President of the British Brothers League to Adolf Eichmann and other Nazis, who were the most ardent supporters of Zionism because it enabled them to be rid of the Jews in their midst.
Who today knows that the only member of Lloyd George’s War Cabinet to oppose the Balfour Declaration was its only Jewish member, Sir Edwin Montagu?

Bella Sankey knows something about risking the lives of people. In Brighton she has just pushed through the closure of the last day centre for adults with learning disabilities, Wellington House. Her concern for Jewish safety is touching.
There is no such thing as ‘Jewish self-determination’ any more than Christian or Muslim self-determination. Being Jewish is a religion. Jews are not a people or nation. They live among every nation. The idea of constructing states and giving their citizens rights according to religion went out with feudalism.
That was what the French Revolution was about. On 23 December 1789, Count Stanislas de Clermont-Tonnerre stated during a French National Assembly debate that “The Jews should be denied everything as a nation, but granted everything as individuals.” Ignoramuses like Bella Sankey fling around words, the meaning of which they have no understanding of.
Only nations have the right to self-determination. Israeli Jews, have no right to self-determination because they are oppressing another nation and are not in any event a nation. British Jews are British not Israeli. Zionism had as its principal object the establishment of a ‘Jewish’ state, a settler colonial state.
What Zionism is
Zionism is a settler colonial ideology which was summed up in an early Zionist slogan which said that Palestine was a ‘land without a people for a people without a land.’ The first use of this slogan by Jewish Zionists was by Israel Zangwill in 1901, though the slogan was first coined by Christian Zionists.
Zionism from its very start sought to exclude the Palestinians from the land. The Labour Zionist ‘trade union’ Histadrut campaigned for Jewish Labour i.e. a Boycott of Arab Labour. It was the Second Aliyah, the Labour Zionist wave of immigration from 1904-14, which campaigned around these policies. It created an economy within an economy as part of building a state within a state.
The idea of transfer, i.e. expulsion, was present in Zionism from the very beginning. That was the meaning of a Jewish State. It was first espoused by Theodor Herzl, the founder of Political Zionism in his Diaries in 1895 where he wrote
“We shall try to spirit the penniless population across the border by … denying it employment in our country … Both the process of expropriation and the removal of of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly.
When Zionism arose it was opposed by most Jews. They saw Zionism as a form of Jewish Anti-Semitism. That is why it is ridiculous to associate anti-Zionism with Anti-Semitism today. Anti-Zionism was originally a Jewish monopoly.
It was Zionism, through its institutions such as the Jewish National Fund which insisted that on land they purchased no non-Jews should be employed. No better history of what this meant can be found that the Hope Simpson Report of 1930, compiled after the Arab-Jewish riots of 1929.
The Report noted that the land leases to Jewish tenants stipulated that
” . . . . The lessee undertakes to execute all works connected with the cultivation of the holding only with Jewish labour. Failure to comply with this duty by the employment of non-Jewish labour shall render the lessee liable to the payment of a compensation of ten Palestinian pounds for each default.
When the Israeli state was founded the JNF became a para state body, an arm of the Israeli state at one stage removed. This was formalised in the JNF Law of 1953.
According to Zionist dictates Arabs are always a ‘threat’ because they consist of the ‘wrong’ ethnicity – something that Caroline Lucas is happy with
This is Zionism. Israeli society is built on Zionist doctrines. The Police, the Army, land distribution, planning. Preference is given to Jews above non-Jews in every single area. Only in Israel is the fear of the ‘demographic threat’ of an Arab birthrate which might reduce the Jewish percentage of the population, present.
In 2003 Netanyahu, then the Finance Minister, told the Herzliya Security Conference that:
“If there is a demographic problem, and there is, it is with the Israeli Arabs who will remain Israeli citizens… to ensure the Jewish character was not engulfed by demography, it was necessary to ensure a Jewish majority’
Netanyahu warned that ‘If Israel’s Arabs become well integrated and reach 35-40 percent of the population, there will no longer be a Jewish state but a bi-national one’. [Ha’aretz, 16.12.2003] This is the reality of a ‘Jewish’ state. It is a racial, ethno-supremacist state. Forever looking over your shoulder at how many Arabs are born in the night is racist. Racism is part of the DNA of Zionism and those who pretend otherwise are lying.
If anyone in Britain were to express fears of the birthrate of Black people surpassing that of White people they would be called racists. In Israel it is state policy. Hence there are official policies for the ‘Judaisation’ of the Negev, Galilee and East Jerusalem.
Statement by Lubna Speitan
On 4th October 2026, by historic vote, the Green Party passed the motion Zionism is Racism.
As many human rights organisations have said for years: an understanding of Zionist settler colonialism is necessary for a comprehensive articulation of Israel’s apartheid regime and its root causes.
The political ideology of Zionism which has and continues to disposes, displace and murder Palestinians, because they are Palestinian, is racist. That is an uncontroversial statement of fact. If you implement apartheid, as the ICJ, the United Nations and every major human rights organisation has found Israel does, you are a racist.
The international discourse on Palestine has obfuscated the root causes of the Israeli regime’s prolonged, widespread, systematic human rights violations, and extreme material discrimination. The motion recognises and seeks to reverse the damaging role which Britain has played in the situation in Palestine.
Those who support Zionism have failed to identify a coherent counter argument to the policy. Instead, they have resorted to personal attacks against those who support it, including me. Because I am one of (many, many, many) people who support this motion.
In response to those personal attacks, I make the following statement:
1. I reject all defamatory and nonsense claims made about me and other Anti-Zionist members of the party and movement.
2. I reject all attempts to decontextualise past statements I have made. In particular, the notorious and discredited Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) has, in usual fashion, attempted to criminalise me for my political views and activism. The CAA has been found by a court to be a dishonest, manipulative, vile actor, and has no credibility to make any allegation against anyone.
3. This is a classic distraction. I am not the conversation. Racism is. Zionism is. The ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians is.
Let’s talk about that.
The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland is a Liar
Leading the charge against the Green Party is none other than Jonathan Freedland, who also initiated the ‘anti-Semitism’ smear campaign against Corbyn.
It is in the interest of Zionists like Freedland to conflate Zionism and being Jewish and then raise the threat of an expulsion of Jewish members. He absurdly says that ‘Saying Kaddish [the prayer for the dead] could lead to his expulsion’.
The argument being that because a majority, albeit a declining majority, of British Jews describe themselves as Zionists, that they will immediately be banned from the Green Party. The invention of these racists is endless.
Apart from the fact that disagreement with the motion has no constitutional consequences, it specifically refers to Zionism not Zionists. No Green Party Zionist need feel afraid unless they are open racists or supporters of the Genocide in Palestine.
Freedland goes to some lengths to avoid calling the Genocide in Gaza by its name and for very good reasons. Genocide is the intention to destroy a people or group, in whole or in part. That is exactly what Israel is doing in Gaza and now the West Bank. The deliberate destruction of the Palestinian people. Hence Freedland refers to Israel’s ‘military bombardment’ and ‘revulsion at the catastrophic devastation of Gaza’. Anything but genocide.
We then get a fairy tale of pre-48 Israel, not of the bombing of Arab markets by the Zionist Irgun militia but where you had
cultural Zionists slugging it out with religious Zionists, Marxist Zionists raging against rightwing militaristic Zionists, all of them wholly at odds with the dominant group: socialist Zionists. What they had in common was the simple belief that Jews had the right of self-determination in their ancestral homeland, the land they had for millennia called Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel, and which the rest of the world called Palestine.
There are a number of lies and half-truths here. The dominant ‘socialist Zionists’ were not socialists and did not call themselves socialists. The ‘Marxist Zionists’, Ahdut Ha’Avodah, were the most militaristic Zionists based at Kibbutz Ein Harod. Their Palmach militia committed some of the worst atrocities in the Nakba. Nakba is a word Freedland doesn’t mention.
But the biggest lie is that Palestine was the ‘ancestral homeland’ of the Jews. It was no such thing.. European Jews came from Europe not Palestine. Their only connection with Palestine was religious. When the European Jewish colonists began coming to Palestine post 1882 the existing Jewish community (the Old Yishuv) was opposed to both them and Zionism and remained so for some 40 years.
Most Jews at the time of the Roman conquest of Palestine and even before then had emigrated to other Arab countries in the Mediterranean. Some 4 million were estimated to have emigrated. Those left behind either converted to Christianity and then Islam or they remained of the Jewish faith.
The Crusaders conquered Jerusalem on July 15, 1099, during the First Crusade. The entry into the city was marked by mass slaughter and burning of the Jewish and Muslim populations. It was Saladin who conquered Jerusalem on October 2, 1187, ending 88 years of Crusader rule who invited the Jews to return and resettle in the city around 1190.
As Professor Rabbi Pereira wrote in the Times of Israel (9.12.25)
After nearly ninety years of systematic exclusion from their holiest city, Jews throughout the Mediterranean world received extraordinary news: Saladin, the Kurdish sultan who had just conquered Jerusalem from the Crusaders, was formally inviting them to return to the city of their ancestors. This momentous proclamation marked a dramatic reversal of Crusader policy, which had banned all Jewish settlement in Jerusalem since the devastating conquest of 1099
So much for the neo-liberal nonsense of the Judeo-Christian heritage. All of this history is ignored by prostitute journalists, like Freedland who would have you believe that
‘what it means to be a Zionist (is) that you believe in a Jewish national home in some portion of historic Palestine.’
This is the rubbish that is repeated by fools like Bella Sankey. Jews have a home which is where they live. Israel is a European settler colonial state, nothing more. Zionism is and always was a colonial enterprise and when colonialism was seen as a good thing they openly admitted as such.
When Theodor Herzl wrote to Cecil Rhodes in 1902 he explained why he was writing to him:
“You are being invited to help make history. It doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews […] How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”
Ze’ev Jabotinsky
Vladimir Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism, the strand that rules Zionism today wrote in his famous article The Iron Wall:
My readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries. I suggest that they consider all the precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the native population. There is no such precedent.
The native populations, civilised or uncivilised, have always stubbornly resisted the colonists, irrespective of whether they were civilised or savage. And it made no difference whatever whether the colonists behaved decently or not.
Freedland tells us that ‘ when I say the prayer, I will, following tradition, be facing east – towards Jerusalem…’ That is true. No one denies that the centre of the Jewish religion is focused on Palestine but so too is Christianity and Islam. A religious orientation does not mean a political centre.
When 2.5 million Jews left Russia between the middle of the 19th century and 1914 barely 1% went to Palestine. There was nothing stopping them but for most Jews Jerusalem lay in the United States not Palestine.
Freedland cites Israel as ‘a refuge from antisemitism’ yet today Israel is the main cause of Anti-Semitism since Jews are associated with the barbarities of the so-called Jewish state.
Caroline Lucas – the Green Party’s leading racist and Zionist defender
Conclusion
The fierce reaction by the ruling class and its press to the passing of the Green Party resolution was entirely predictable. As were the cries of ‘Anti-Semitism’ and the treachery of people like Caroline Lucas and the Green MPs.
There is a fierce political battle on our hands and our opponents will not hesitate to employ every dirty trick in the book and use every lie at their command. Jews will be the moral alibi for the support of British imperialism for the warrior state that is Israel. Despite shedding fake tears over the genocide you can be sure that those crying ‘Anti-Semitism’ over the hurt feelings of British Jews are no more concerned about genuine anti-Semitism than any other form of racism.
Green Party members who support the Palestinians must be aware that the struggle of the Palestinians against imperialism and its Israeli satrap is but part of a wider fight against both imperialism and capitalism. Anyone who is serious about climate change needs their head examining if they think a political and economic system whose driving motive is profit and exploitation is going to sacrifice the needs of their companies for the greater good.
Donald Trump with his hostility to climate change is a good representative of the system that we face. With his threats to destroy the International Criminal Court Trump acts like a mafiosa don. Caroline Lucas is the fragrant face of capitalism but both Trump and Lucas are united in defence of the Israeli state. It’s just that Trump is more honest.
The Green Party is facing the equivalent of a civil war and it will be for the left to rise and meet the challenge. There is no doubt that Polanski attracted thousands of people to join the Greens. The Establishment Greens like Caroline Lucas, aided by the gutter press will fight on behalf of the Establishment. It is up to us to resist them and turn the Green Party into an eco-socialist party.
