Green Party members vote to back BDS movement

Original: Good to see in the UK - 'Green Party members have voted for councils to support the “boycott, divest and sanctions movem

Green Party members in the UK have voted for councils controlled by the party to support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement and to avoid investing in organisations it considers complicit. The move, reported by Left Foot Forward, has been welcomed by pro-Palestinian campaigners while likely drawing criticism from opponents of BDS, who argue such policies deepen political divisions locally.

Why now: The vote is notable because it pushes the Israel-Palestine debate into UK local government at a time when BDS remains highly controversial.
