What next for the Greens and Polanski? Caroline Lucas, clearly deeply unhappy over Zack Polanski’s handling of the ‘zionism is racism’ motion at the party’s conference is asked whether Polanski should resign over it & tellingly doesn’t rule that out. Instead she says: “Let’s see what happens… I want him to show the leadership that was frankly missing on Sunday” But at the Camden count, where Polanski gives his first remarks following that motion. He says this: Q: Your party voted that Zionism is racism. Do you agree with that? POLANSKI: So I grew up in a Zionist household, and I grew up with the idea that, that region was a land without people and the people without a land. And as I've educated myself, learned, discovered. I don't believe that's true. *And what we're seeing is an ongoing genocide and the displacement of the Palestinian people. I believe that's clearly racist.* Q: But don't you feel that the Jews deserve a state? Do you believe in the two state solution? POLANSKI: I believe that it's not our role to decide, but what I do believe is that any state should have equal rights, and that shouldn't be based on faith or religion. That should be based on international human law and upholding equal rights for everyone.

I’m no fan of Wetherspoons but why do right wing dickheads constantly embarrass themselves?

Absolutely crazy

Former Green leader Caroline Lucas says she's 'very upset' about calls for her removal over criticism of the party’s ‘Zionism is racism’ motion.

You're not responding to a point I made? I said antisemitism is both a real and monstrous evil, and it is cynically weaponised to shut down opposition to what a consensus of genocide scholars consider to be genocide. That is what is different. There is not an internationally orchestrated campaign to use anti-Black racism to shut down scrutiny of a key Western ally, with mass deplatformings, sackings, arrests, imprisonment and even deportation as a consequence. You're not bothering to rebut this because there isn't a rebuttal. It is the obvious difference. The answer, of course, is to take action against actual antisemitism and not to shut down discussion of Israel's crimes. That includes defending a strict demarcation between Israel and its crimes, and the Jewish people as a whole. The trashing of this demarcation is driving antisemitism. That should be obvious. But both antisemites and Israel's cheerleaders both push this conflation. The government's report promotes the implementation of IHRA in schools. IHRA has been rolled out in universities and has been used to target opposition to Israel. The same is clearly going to happen in schools. Perhaps you could try and engage with these points? What is the rebuttal?

The Bantustan Republic of Transkei is declared independent by South Africa as a place for black Africans to be relocated from white areas of South Africa. Mthatha is the capital. No other country recognizes its independence.
