The Green party is again placing a controversial motion asserting that “Zionism is Racism” on the agenda for its autumn conference. The motion was previously submitted for consideration at the party’s spring conference earlier this year, but it did not pass. According to reports, members used procedural tactics, including a filibuster, to prevent the motion from being heard during the spring event. The latest decision brings the proposal back for debate and renewed consideration at the forthcoming conference. The reporting focuses on the motion’s return after its earlier failure to reach debate, rather than on any new evidence or changes to the wording. No additional details about the motion’s specific language or the arguments for and against it are provided in the supplied accounts. The overall outcome of the autumn conference vote, and whether the motion will be allowed to be debated, is not yet known.
