ZIONISM has been “racist and much more besides,” said Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL) today as it defended the Green Party membership vote on Sunday to define the ideology as racist.
The leading left Jewish group slammed “bad faith actors” for refusing to engage with “what the real substance of the motion is — a reaction to genocide and an attempt to root out its causes.”
In a statement released after a Whitehall gathering to mark the third anniversary of the killing of more than 1,200 people in a Hamas-led attack on Israel, JVL said that unlike its critics, the resolution “emphatically” does not identify Jews with the actions of Israel, which is “generally agreed” to be antisemitic.
“We reject the accusations that the resolution is antisemitic and are appalled but not surprised by the media pile up against both the Green Party and its Jewish leader, Zack Polanski,” JVL said.
“The motion defines quite clearly the zionism which it is calling out as racist.
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

The Gaza Health Ministry warned Wednesday that Israel is once again promoting allegations about the presence of weapons inside hospitals to justify targeting what remains of the healthcare system in the Palestinian enclave, as three years have passed since the start of Israel’s genocide, Anadolu reports.
The Israeli army is once again making a series of “false and misleading claims through its spokespeople, alleging that armed fighters are present or weapons are stored inside hospitals and healthcare facilities,” Khalil al-Daqran, the ministry spokesman, said during a news conference.
He categorically rejected the allegations, saying their renewed promotion was “nothing more than the fabrication of false justifications to pave the way for further undermining and destroying the remaining healthcare capabilities.”
“What remains inside hospitals and medical centers still operating are only patients fighting for their lives, alongside medical and humanitarian personnel working with minimal resources under exceptionally harsh conditions,” he said.
Daqran noted that the health sector was suffering from severe shortages of medicines, medical consumables and other supplies needed to provide healthcare.
The spokesman stressed that hospitals and healthcare facilities in Gaza “have always kept their doors open, without exception, to international organizations and UN, human rights and humanitarian institutions” so they could examine their operations and verify Israeli allegations.
He called on the international community, as well as UN and human rights organizations, to intervene “urgently and immediately” to halt Israeli attacks and provide direct international protection for medical personnel, healthcare institutions and the remaining facilities providing treatment.
Three years into Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip, Israel continues to violate the ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, with 1,467 Palestinians killed and 5,161 injured in attacks through Monday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Since the genocide began in October 2023, more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 175,000 injured, while around 90% of Gaza’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

A volunteer medic was killed Wednesday in Israeli attacks targeting several areas across the Gaza Strip, a medical source said, Anadolu reports.
The medic was working with the Palestinian Civil Defense.
He was killed in an airstrike while he was heading to help wounded people near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, the source told Anadolu.
Several other Palestinians were injured in the attacks, while a teenager succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday.
According to another medical source, two Palestinians were injured in an Israeli drone strike near Abu Hussein School in Jabalia, northern Gaza.
In southern Gaza, a Palestinian teenager died from a gunshot wound to the head sustained last month when Israeli forces opened fire east of Khan Younis, according to a medical source.
The same source said a girl was injured by Israeli gunfire directed at displaced Palestinians’ tents near Al-Amal neighborhood’s pond on Street 5.
An Anadolu correspondent, citing eyewitnesses, reported that Israeli rubber boats advanced toward the coast of Rafah and opened fire at tents housing displaced Palestinians before retreating and withdrawing.
In Khan Younis, the Israeli army carried out two demolitions in the northeastern and eastern parts of the city, amid intense gunfire to the east.
The Israeli army also carried out demolitions east of Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood and east of Gaza City.
Since October 2023, Israel’s war in Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 others, according to Palestinian figures.
The war has also destroyed about 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure.

Israelis and Palestinians to mark three years since October 7 Hamas attack and beginning of the Gaza genocide
PALESTINIANS and Israelis are to mark three years since the Hamas-led assault on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
During the attack, 1,221 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
Israel’s subsequent invasion of the Gaza Strip has killed at least 74,237 Palestinians, including more than 20,000 children, and wounded around 175,000.
Since a so-called ceasefire agreement took effect on October 10 2025, at least 1,454 Palestinians have been killed and another 5,090 have been injured by the Israelis. Israel has also escalated ethnic cleansing across the occupied West Bank.
Global hunger watchdog the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification says more than 1.2 million people face acute hunger in Gaza.
Stop the War convener Lindsey German told the Morning Star: “Three years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a grim milestone.”
But, she added, “we finally see a shift in the British government’s position — undoubtedly a victory for the Palestine movement.”
Referring to planned protests on Saturday, Ms German said it was “the first time we have seen a truly global co-ordination of protests for Palestine — from the Netherlands to Nigeria, South Africa to South Korea, and London to Lima.”
Independent MP for Islington North Jeremy Corbyn said: “Three years ago, we warned that Israel was embarking upon the total annihilation of the Palestinian people in Gaza. We were ignored and smeared, while the British government armed a genocide as it was live-streamed around the world.
“Today, politicians are pretending they have always been opposed to the war crimes they supported and facilitated. Too little, too late. We have been witnessing a genocide — and Britain’s complicity can never, ever be forgotten.
“Three years on, I’m calling for Andy Burnham to finally call Israel’s destruction of Gaza what it is: a genocide.
“He should say: Today, as of now, I am ending all military co-operation with Israel. And he should finally heed my long-standing demand for a full, public inquiry into Britain’s continued involvement.”
Ms German pointed out that on Ukraine, Iran and hikes in arms spending “there remains no difference between Mr Burnham and his predecessor,” adding that it was vital to “link the Palestine campaign to one against all these fundamentally wrong foreign policy priorities.”
Mr Corbyn said: “In the near future, our history books will shame those in our government who enabled one of the greatest crimes of our time. Britain is involved in acts of genocide.”
“Stop it, change it and shut the arms supply to Israel,” he added.
