The Labour Party’s refusal to work with the Greens unless they renounce anti-Zionism exposes the hollowness of the Burnham project.

    Labour’s position is supporting a two-state solution, which is Zionism and therefore racism under the Green EW resolution. Surely coalitions can’t meaningfully coexist given that split anyway?

      Don’t beat about the bush. Labour’s position is supporting apartheid, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

        You’re posting those links like I’ve said anything to imply Israel isn’t committing those crimes. It is, I fully agree and already know. I said what I said to make the point that all else aside, the Green EW resolution is describing even the most optimistic version of Labour policy as racist, and therefore the two parties seem incompatible in coalition

          I’m posting the links to ensure Labour’s abhorrent position is regarded as the abhorrent position that it is.

          “Two state solution” sounds theoretical and clinical, devoid of the realities on the ground.

          It was meant as no accusation of your position, but as a clarifier of what Labour stand for.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
