Event: anti-Zionism

From their obsessive anti-Zionism to their exploitation of anti-Hindu hatred, this is the most toxic party in Britain. Next month, Britain’s cuddly, hope-spreading Green Party will vote on whether to adopt what some are calling a ‘hateful’ policy. The policy says ‘Zionism is racism’. It calls Zionism a wicked system of ‘racial hierarchy, segregation and domination’. It damns this cruel ideology as ‘fundamentally incompatible’ with civilised values. It commits the Greens to being an ‘explicitly… anti-Zionist party’. Can we speak frankly? A party that rejects the right of nationhood for the Jews and the Jews alone is a party of bigotry. Zionism means just one thing: the right of the Jewish people to their own homeland. To define yourself, ‘explicitly’, as ‘anti-Zionist’ is to single out the Jews as less deserving of nationhood than every other people on Earth. Isn’t there a word for demoting an entire ethnic group down the ladder of moral worth and stealing from them a liberty enjoyed by others? The impact of this policy on Britain’s Jews would be disastrous. Seventy-five per cent of Jewish Brits feel a strong ‘emotional attachment’ with Israel. The vast majority define themselves as Zionists. For a party to overnight brand these good people as slavish adherents to a barbaric ideology would be catastrophic. It would hang yet another target sign around the necks of our Jewish compatriots, who are already the quarry of so much venom from the activist class. The policy would also commit the Greens to supporting Palestinian ‘resistance’. What, like the pogrom of October 7? Or the Second Intifada of 2000 to 2005? During those five years of Hamas savagery, Jews in the Holy Land were blown up in pizza parlours, in discotheques, on buses. That’s what ‘resistance’ has come to mean under the Islamised death…
