The Board of Deputies of British Jews voted on October 25, 2026, to declare the Green Party of England and Wales a racist organisation, BBC News and the Board of Deputies reported. The vote was held in response to a policy motion titled Zionism is racism passed at the Green Party conference earlier in the month. [1][4]
The motion declaring the Greens a racist party passed by 118 votes to one, according to BBC News. Board of Deputies president Phil Rosenberg stated that the Green Party had, by adopting an antisemitic platform, become a racist party. [1]
A spokesman for the Green Party rejected the characterisation made by the Board of Deputies, BBC News reported. The Green Party insisted that it does not discriminate against individuals who hold Zionist views. [1]
As FTMQ News reported earlier, Green Party leader Zack Polanski previously described Zionism as a racist ideology synonymous with basic colonialism. British Jews have maintained communal institutions in the United Kingdom since re-establishing a continuous community in the 1650s. [8][10]
