The chair of Jewish Greens has said she could leave the party over a motion that describes Zionism as racism and supports the creation of a single democratic Palestinian state across all of historic Palestine.
The motion has divided senior figures within the Green Party. Its proposed approach is based on one democratic state covering the territory described in the motion as historic Palestine.
The Jewish Greens chair’s comments indicate that the motion has created a serious disagreement within the party’s Jewish membership. She has not said that she has definitely decided to leave, but has presented departure as a possible response to the motion.
The dispute centres on the motion’s definition of Zionism and its proposed political settlement. The supplied material does not give further details about when the motion was tabled, how it was debated or whether it has been formally adopted.
The latest known position is that the motion remains a source of division among senior party figures, while the Jewish Greens chair is considering whether to remain a member of the party.
