Jewish Greens Leader Considers Leaving Party After 'Zionism is Racism' Vote

Vivien Lichtenstein, the head of the Jewish Greens, has stated she is considering leaving the party following a recent vote at its annual conference. The motion adopted equates Zionism with racism and advocates for the replacement of Israel with a single Palestinian state.

Lichtenstein expressed her belief that the motion is unhelpful, despite acknowledging a division of opinion among Jewish members of the party. The decision has sparked anger, particularly concerning the absence of Zack Polanski during the vote. This internal conflict within the Jewish Greens highlights a significant ideological division regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
