Join us for an important webinar exploring Motion A105, which declares that "Zionism is Racism" and positions the Green Party as explicitly anti-Zionist. This motion represents a significant step in the party's commitment to anti-racism, Palestinian liberation, and international justice.

About the Motion: Motion A105 defines Zionism as a political ideology that promotes ethnonationalism and privileges one ethnic group through the subjugation of others. It recognizes Zionism as Israel's foundational ideology that has created and maintains an apartheid regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The motion affirms Palestinian self-determination, supports a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine, and calls for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel.

Featured Speakers:

Lubna Speitan - Motion A105 Proposer Palestinian artist and activist, member of Greens for Palestine Steering Group and Greenwich Palestine Alliance. Lubna will share the personal and political journey behind proposing this groundbreaking motion.

Professor Haim Bresheeth-Zabner - Israeli filmmaker, photographer, and film studies scholar Retired from the University of East London, Professor Bresheeth-Zabner will provide critical analysis of Zionism as a settler-colonial ideology from a Jewish anti-Zionist perspective.

Franck Magennis - Defence Barrister and Co-Director of Riverway to the Sea As a legal expert, Franck will examine the legal frameworks, international law dimensions, and implications of recognizing Zionism as racism.

What We'll Explore:

• The historical and contemporary manifestations of Zionist ideology
• How Zionism functions as a system of apartheid and racial domination
• The legal and political implications of Motion A105 for the Green Party
• International law perspectives on Palestinian rights and resistance
• Strategies for effective anti-Zionist organizing and advocacy
• Countering hasbara and propaganda that normalizes occupation and apartheid

Why This Matters: This webinar comes at a critical time when the Israeli state continues its genocide in Gaza, apartheid policies throughout occupied Palestine, and systematic denial of Palestinian fundamental rights. Motion A105 represents not just a policy position but a moral stance that aligns with international legal findings and the demands of Palestinian civil society.

Who Should Attend: Green Party members, Palestine solidarity activists, Jewish Greens, anti-racism advocates, students, academics, and anyone interested in understanding the intersection of Zionism, racism, and colonialism.

Format: Each speaker will present for 10-15 minutes, followed by an interactive Q&A session with attendees.

Hosted by: Tariq Khawaja - Greens For Palestine Steering Group Member
