The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), an Israel-funded lobby group, has threatened the Green Party with legal action over a planned conference debate on a motion stating “Zionism is racism.” The CAA, described as one of the UK’s main apartheid lobby groups, has been known to equate opposition to Israel’s policies with antisemitism. This move comes as the Green Party prepares to revisit the motion for the second time this year, following a previous attempt in March 2026 where Israel supporters within the party orchestrated delays to prevent a vote.
CAA’s CEO, Gideon Falter, has a history of attempting to stoke moral panic against those opposing Israel’s actions. In 2024, Falter claimed he was prevented by police from crossing a road during an anti-genocide march, alleging discrimination because he looked Jewish. This claim was later debunked by video evidence showing Falter trying to disrupt the march with a security detail. Falter also exited a Sky News discussion when confronted with this evidence.
In 2025, CAA successfully lobbied the government to impose a terror ban on the non-violent protest group Palestine Action, despite the group’s charitable status. The Charity Commission criticized CAA for mismanagement in February 2026 but allowed it to retain its charitable status. The current motion at the Green Party Conference calls for support of a single state with equality for all, challenging the creation of an apartheid ethno-state as inherently racist.
The CAA’s stance reflects a broader tension between supporters of Israel and critics who view its policies as apartheid-like. The group’s readiness to pursue legal action underscores the contentious nature of this debate. As the Green Party Conference approaches, the discussion around Zionism and racism continues to evoke strong responses, highlighting the complex interplay of politics, identity, and justice. In navigating these issues, the biblical call for justice and peace, as seen in Micah 6:8, remains a guiding principle for many seeking resolution and reconciliation.
