Have the Greens just voted for a de facto ban on Jews?
The Greens have become the first UK political party to call for a one state solution in Israel - and passed a motion asserting that "Zionism is fundamentally incompatible with anti racist principles, equality and justice". The conference in Brighton voted to "support the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state" - but rejected an amendment which would have clarified that the motion would "not be used to pressure, proscribe or discipline members based on affiliation with Jewish community institutions, such as synagogues... that describe themselves as Zionist".
Why have they gone further than Palestinian leaders? Are British Jews who attend synagogues now seen by the party as "racist"? And why are Greens singling out the one Jewish state - without asking equal questions of the legitimacy of the establishment of others?
Jon and Emily speak to Guardian columnist and Unholy podcast co-host Jonathan Freedland.
