Green Party members back 'Zionism is racism' motion
Green Party members back'Zionism is racism' motion Green Party members have adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism, in a move that has divided senior figures at the top of the party. The party's joint deputy leaders have been at odds over the subject, with Mothin Ali backing the move, and Rachel Millward describing the wording as problematic. Activists endorsed the policy motion, which was put forward by a group of members at the party's conference in Brighton, by 1022 votes to 813. Discussion about the vote has dominated the conference, and exposed divisions between the party's newly enlarged membership base under leader Zack Polanski and its MPs elected at the last election. The motion adopted by Green members defines Zionism as an ideology in support of an ethnonationalist Jewish state and backs a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine. The real, material, manifestation of Zionism has been the historic and ongoing dehumanisation, displacement, dispossession, disenfranchisement and destruction of Palestinians, it says.

As the federal government goes hands-off on AI, California is taking the reins to address workers' biggest fears. On Thursday, California governor Gavin Newsom signed a suite of new laws that ban bosses from relying entirely on AI to decide whether to fire workers, using it to predict employees' emotional states or collecting neural data, meaning the information from electrical signals of someone's brain or nerves.
