The Green Party has voted for the Israeli military to be banned as a terrorist organisation and for Britain to apologise for the Balfour Declaration.

Members voted for the motion at the Green Party’s annual conference in Bournemouth on Sunday, making it party policy.

The motion called for the Israeli military to be proscribed, which would make membership of the Israeli military or even glorifying it a terrorist offence under British counterterror legislation.

    Thank you for this rational reply. It’s a breath of fresh air on this platform where everyone thinks politicians should act like they’re making friends or breaking up relationships like they’re in high school.

    Yes, Trump is a cunt, yes Starmer is a wet paper bag, but ultimately both are temporary but the deals he makes with the US will benefit the UK and outlast both leaders. The leaders are temporary but the nations will be around a lot longer.

      No it’s not. This genocide support has completely demolished the image of the West beyond repair. And it gained nothing.
