Green Party members at the party conference in Brighton approve a policy motion stating that “Zionism is racism.” The decision comes as film director Roman Polanski skips a planned party vote, according to reports.
Outlet accounts describe the vote and its broader setting rather than disputing the policy wording itself. The Evening Standard says the motion is backed by 1,022 votes to 813 against, indicating a clear majority but a significant minority opposed. Other coverage, including The Independent and the Belfast Telegraph, similarly focuses on the conference vote and the fact that Polanski is not present for the relevant decision.
While the outlets align on the outcome of the motion and the conference context, they vary in emphasis—some foreground the “Zionism is racism” policy as the main event, while others give additional attention to Polanski’s absence from the vote.
