Why don't people like the Zionism vote, surely most people here don't support the genocide committed by Israel?

    They got way too ambitious. Not only did they require a 1-state solution (not even Hamas go that far) but they also mandated that whatever solution would only be valid if ratified by a vote by… the members of the Green Party of England and Wales. The arbiters of peace. Essentially sabre rattling and backdoor colonialism. Not a realistic motion, and ripe for ridicule.

    Then theres the slight embarrassment that the person they chose to formally present the motion at congress is an unapologetic and vocal supporter of a convicted Al-Quaeda member currently serving time at His Majesty’s Pleasure for terrorism offences.

    No they absolutely don't support it.

    The trouble with the vote was they've now painted a huge target on themselves for the right-wing media that conflate Zionism with Judaism itself.

    The vote hasn't actually achieved anything positive, but has definitely made the party significantly less attractive to the casual voter.

    they do the right thing but don't play politics, voters don't like that, nor do commentors here by the looks, so better to vote Labour, Tory or Reform becase they do ? .. of course and then complain endlessy about that. Imagine modelling your politcal party on Reform or Labour, why not just be them ffs.

    It's like being against rasicm but not staying your against racism becase it upsets the racsits.
