Burnham calls on Green Party to reverse 'wrong' Zionism motion

© Crown copyright / No.10 Downing Street

Andy Burnham has urged the Green Party to overturn a conference vote that declared Zionism is racism. He said the decision showed "terrible judgement" and called on Zack Polanski, the Green Party leader, to reverse it. The motion, passed on Sunday, states the Greens are an "anti-Zionist party" and will treat Zionism as a form of racism.
