Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So what you're saying is that this doesn't affect you and your treats, so therefore you don't care and nobody should care about it either.
The comparison between this and calling the consumption of meat evil is quite a massive leap.
You've seen what happened to Corbyn. If the Greens don't cleanse themselves from Zionists that same fate would await them if they ever got to power. So this is an amazing, very important and extremely relevant motion.
So far everyone I've seen upset about this motion, agrees with the motion itself but is just afraid of the media backlash from all the Zionists supporting it. It's only controversial because they've made you believe it's controversial.
It's controversial by definition. It's sewing controversy. In the party, in the media, and in the broader public. To pretend otherwise is to live in a world without facts.
And I don't know what you're on about regarding my "treats". You and I share the same goal: liberation of the Palestinian people, but while you're content to derail any progress we might have made on that front in an effort to "cleanse" the party, I'd rather we find a way to do something for them. Nice use of the word "cleanse" there, very inclusive. I'm sure the people who still associate Zionism with Judaism and fear another Holocaust would absolutely love to be part of a party with people using that sort of language.
This isn't a conversation that's going to be productive (much like every other conversation around this over the next 6-12 months) so I'm tapping out. You should come back to this in a year though and ask yourself just what this stunt has wrought and how we might have better served Palestine with that time if only we hadn't been obsessed with tightening the noose of virtue around each other.
The "controversy" being a few extremely koud racist Zionists in the party which want to hijack the party for their own agenda.
Exactly the people you need to filter out before your party grows or they will become a cancer like they did for Labour.
Like I said, everyone here agrees with the motion, but they're just somehow afraid that it's controversial and the only reason you believe it's controversial is because everyone keeps telling you so.
