Polanski Says He Will Not Overturn Green Party's Zionism Motion. Green Party leader Zack Polanski has said he will not overturn a controversial party motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. The motion, passed by members at the party's conference earlier this month, will remain Green Party policy until 2028, although Polanski said he would like to make amendments. It described Zionism as supporting an "ethnonationalist Jewish state" and also backed a single democratic state across what it called historic Palestine. The motion sparked criticism from MPs, Jewish organisations, the government and the European Green movement, while the equality watchdog has contacted the party seeking further information. Polanski faced criticism for not voting on the motion, which passed by 1,022 votes to 813. Asked whether he would now intervene to overturn the policy, Polanski said he would not.
