The Green Party’s Zionism is Racism motion has unleashed a political storm in Britain and prompted fierce attacks on those behind it. But the motion and the backlash are not happening in isolation.
From a changing political mood in the US to the growing electoral strength of Palestine solidarity, from the crisis within Labour to the battle for the future of the Green Party, we’re witnessing a much wider political shift in the West.
On this episode of Palestine Deep Dive, we’re joined by two members of Greens for Palestine who have found themselves at the centre of one of the most explosive political debates in Britain following the adoption of the motion to unpack these developments.
Lubna Speitan is a Palestinian activist, artist and community organiser, and lead proposer of the motion. Kieran Andrieu is a British-Palestinian political commentator, author and doctor of political economy.
