Green leader Polanski says Zionism's application is racist, no state has a right to exist

Zack Polanski has refused to overturn his party's "Zionism is racism" motion, saying no state has a right to exist under international law.

• Polanski told the BBC that Zionism's practical application is racist and that no state has a right to exist under international law.
• The Green Party conference passed the motion 1,022 votes to 813, declaring Zionism an ideology supporting an ethnonationalist Jewish state.
• Polanski said he will not overturn the motion, which stands until 2028, but wants to amend it to let Israelis and Palestinians decide their future.
• Polanski said he had no regrets and claimed a majority of Jewish Greens surveyed supported the motion, after criticism from its head Vivien Lichtenstein.
