Israel bans Polanski over racist Zionism
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it will prohibit British and Welsh Green Party leader, Zak Polanski, from entering Israel. This decision comes after the party voted on a proposal that labels Zionism as a form of racism. The move was made following the party’s approval of a text describing Zionism as a form of racism, supporting the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state across all of Palestine, and endorsing Palestinian rights to resistance within international law. The proposal sparked divisions within the party, with some MPs and party leaders opposing it, while Polanski left the conference before the vote. Israeli officials and influential Palestinian figures in Britain criticized the decision, viewing it as a threat to relations with Israel and a challenge to the legitimacy of the Zionist movement. Supporters of the decision, on the other hand, argued that it simply expresses a stance against Zionist ideology without undermining Jewish identity.
