  • So what you’re saying is that this doesn’t affect you and your treats, so therefore you don’t care and nobody should care about it either.

    The comparison between this and calling the consumption of meat evil is quite a massive leap.

    You’ve seen what happened to Corbyn. If the Greens don’t cleanse themselves from Zionists that same fate would await them if they ever got to power. So this is an amazing, very important and extremely relevant motion.

    So far everyone I’ve seen upset about this motion, agrees with the motion itself but is just afraid of the media backlash from all the Zionists supporting it. It’s only controversial because they’ve made you believe it’s controversial.



  • No he’s doing what the person above said. Trying to make this about antisemitism when it clearly isn’t.

    And then saying that Jews who attend Zionist synagogues or are Zionist themselves don’t need to worry for getting booted because apparently the Green party can correctly identify racism but doesn’t want to kick out racists. You’d think half their party base consists of said racists seeing how afraid they are to lose them. But in reality almost all Zionists are voting Labour or Tory already.

    It’s great the Green party is moving the overton window ever so slightly but Zack Polanski is trying to put the rabbit back in the hat which is really shameful.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peremptory_norm

    A peremptory norm (also called jus cogens)[1] is a fundamental rule of international law that is accepted and recognized by the international community of states as a whole as a norm from which no derogation is permitted. Unlike ordinary treaty obligations or customary international law, a peremptory norm cannot be overridden by treaties, agreements, or national laws. Thought to be so fundamental that it even invalidates rules drawn from treaty or custom, “norms of this character, therefore, cannot be derogated from by the will of the contracting parties.”[2]

    There is no universal agreement regarding precisely which norms are jus cogens nor how a norm reaches that status, but it is generally accepted that jus cogens bans genocide, maritime piracy, enslaving in general (i.e. slavery as well as slave trade), wars of aggression and territorial aggrandizement, and generally as well torture, and refoulement.[3]
