Read the original article on standard.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Evening Standard reports a joint Labour and Conservative motion at Westminster City Council declaring that Zionism is not racism, quoting the motion and the council's Conservative leader, Paul Swaddle. It gives the Green motion's own definition of Zionism, prints the Greens' reply to Labour, and keeps the motion's line that criticism of the Israeli government is not antisemitic.
“described Zionism as an ideology supporting “an ethnonationalist Jewish state in historic Palestine to the exclusion and/or domination of the non-Jewish population””
The Standard gives the Green motion's own definition in its own words, so readers can judge what the party actually voted for.
“The Greens said the party would “not take lectures” from a Labour government that supplies arms to Israel.”
The Standard prints the Greens' reply to Labour's charge rather than leaving the accusation unanswered.
“Criticism of the policies and actions of the Israeli Government is legitimate and is not antisemitic.”
The Standard keeps the motion's own distinction between criticism of Israel and antisemitism, rather than collapsing the two.
