British Green Party Leader Banned from Israel Over Anti-Zionist Stance

The Foreign Minister of the Jewish Fascist State, Gideon Sa’ar, denied entry to Zach Polanski, the leader of the British Green Party, citing his support for a resolution equating Zionism with racism. The decision was framed as a response to the party’s proposal, which the Israeli government claims legitimizes armed struggle against Israel and calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state from the sea to the river, effectively implying the destruction of the State of Israel.

The Israeli government described the resolution as anti-Semitic, aligning it with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (HRA) definition of anti-Semitism, which includes denying the Jewish people’s right to self-determination. The resolution, passed at the Green Party’s annual conference, defines Zionism as “any other form of racism” and advocates for the creation of “one democratic Palestinian State on the whole (land) of historic Palestine.”

Under Polanski’s leadership, the Green Party has gained popularity, particularly among voters who reject the Labour Government’s stance on the Gaza Strip conflict. However, three Jewish community organizations warned before the vote that endorsing the resolution could make the Green Party the first major British political party to adopt a political program with openly anti-Semitic positions, potentially endangering the safety of British Jews.

Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog condemned the party’s decision, calling it a “stigma.” On the X platform, Herzog emphasized that Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people and forms the basis for their right to establish a state and national homeland in the territory of Israel.

Despite opposition from at least three of the five party deputies, Polanski maintained that the “exodus and mass extermination of the Palestinian people” were “racist.” The party leaders later issued a statement affirming their commitment to universal human rights, condemning genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and illegal occupation, while also criticizing the Netanyahu government’s actions.
