The Green Party in Great Britain passed a motion calling for the term "Israeli" to be racist.

The Green Party in Great Britain passed a motion calling for the term "Israeli" to be racist.

The majority of members agreed to this proposal at the annual conference of this party. Although several party leaders also opposed it.

Those who put forward this proposal believe that Israel was established as a Jewish state, but they say that it is better to have one state in the historic land of Palestine where all Jews, Palestinians and other ethnic groups in the region live.

The head of the Jewish members of the Green Party said that he is now considering his future in this party.

In recent years, the Green Party of Great Britain has expanded its activities, which initially focused more on environmental issues, to other issues, which has led to more support for this party. In a quick reaction to this action, Yitzhak Herzog, the president of Israel's POW, condemned the British Green Party for passing a motion in which Zionism is considered a form of "racism" and called it a "disgrace."
