Broadland Lib Dems reject Green Party "Zionism is Racism" motion.

BROADLAND LIBERAL DEMOCRATS DO NOT SUPPORT THE GREEN PARTY’S “ZIONISM IS RACISM” POLICY

Broadland Liberal Democrats reject in the strongest possible terms the Green Party’s new policy which has declared that “Zionism is Racism”. 

The Liberal Democrat party has a long and proud history of opposing racism while defending human rights and the right of self-determination.  Antisemitism, like all forms of racism has no place in our society and we will continue to work to stamp out antisemitism where it occurs in our communities. 

Our party is committed to a two-state solution, and we believe, as our Leader Ed Davey has said, “it is the only way to end the cycle of violence and give both Israelis and Palestinians the lasting peace and security they deserve.”

A fundamental principle of the of the Liberal Democrat party is a commitment to local democracy.  Here in Broadland, we remain of the view that our role in Local Government is to work for everyone in our communities, successfully managing and developing our local services.   We may disagree on National and International politics, and we will continue to speak out where this may influence our decisions locally, however, we will continue to work constructively with all our fellow councillors to achieve local needs. 

We are encouraging our Green Party councillors to publicly reject this motion and campaign to reverse it.
