> The Green party of England and Wales is facing international criticism after members adopted a binding motion declaring Zionism a form of racism and backing a single democratic Palestinian state with equal rights. The European Green party said the policy conflicted with its support for a two-state solution, while German Green leader Felix Banaszak called it “intolerable and unacceptable”. The vote has also revived debate over the party’s decentralised policymaking system.
