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:

You can stand with Palestinians and fiercely criticise Israel without declaring Zionism inherently racist. By doing so, the Greens risk legitimising antisemitic ideas and discriminatory treatment. The liberal alternative is clear: equal rights, security and self-determination for Jews and Palestinians.

They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on East Riding of Yorkshire Council instead.
