Briefings

The UK Green Party voted to define Zionism as racism, a move that has triggered a backlash from Jewish groups citing increased community attacks. The government and other political parties have strongly condemned the policy, with at least three out of five Green MPs opposing it. This decision occurred in October 2026, following a period of heightened tensions in the UK Jewish community. The specific number of opposing MPs is not fully quantified beyond the 'at least three out of five' figure, and the article does not provide a specific date for the initial attacks mentioned.

Context and limitations
