UK: The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council have branded the Green Party “extremist” after it adopted its “Zionism is racism” policy. In a joint statement, they described the motion as an “attack on the Jewish community” and “an antisemitic platform, based on a grossly offensive distortion and erasure of Jewish experience and identity”. They also singled out Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who missed the vote at the party’s conference in Brighton to campaign in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, and did not speak or vote against the motion. They said: “These are not the actions of a leader, but a bystander.” Join EJN:
