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:
I strongly disagree with motion passed by the Green Party. There is no evidence to back it. Israel is a country not only for Jewish people, but there Christians, Arabs, Muslims all living together. How can you call Zionists racists? Polanski is the leader of the party, and while he didn't vote he clearly doesn't have control of his party and should resign.
They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on Tandridge District Council instead.
