I won't accept exclusion, says Polanski after criticism of Zionist motion Zack Polanski has said he will not accept anyone being excluded from the Green Party because of the religious or communal body they are part of, after members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. The Green leader said no-one will be made unwelcome because of their background, their faith, or where they worship. The motion defines Zionism as an ideology supporting an ethnonationalist Jewish state and backs a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine. It comes after more than a dozen Labour MPs reported the Greens to the equality watchdog on Monday, saying it raised serious questions. Tensions exposed among Greens by'Zionism is racism' conference vote Nine Labour MPs have also referred the Green Party to Sussex Police, asking the force to investigate whether alleged possible antisemitic offences at the conference merit a criminal investigation. Sussex Police and the Green Party have been contacted for comment.

Tensions exposed among Greens by'Zionism is racism' conference vote It is not exactly typical for a British party conference, let alone that of one of the smaller parties, to elicit international condemnation. Yet that is the position the Green Party of England and Wales is in today after Israel's foreign ministry said it was banning their leader, Zack Polanski, from entering the country. The cause was the motion proposed by party members and adopted by the conference on Sunday, declaring Zionism, which is the belief in the right to a Jewish homeland, to be racism. The Green motion describes Zionism as an ideology supporting an ethnonationalist Jewish state, and supports instead a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine. It's hardly likely that Polanski or indeed many Greens are going to be much troubled by Israel's condemnation of the motion.

Jewish Greens chair says she could leave party over'Zionism is racism' motion The chair of Jewish Greens Vivien Lichtenstein has told the BBC it is quite possible she will leave the party after Green members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism. The motion, which has divided senior party figures, also backs a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine, which includes modern-day Israel. It has been criticised by some Jewish groups and Israel's foreign ministry. Asked by BBC Radio 4's Today programme about her future, Lichtenstein said: I haven't decided yet...It is quite possible that I will leave the party...I'm giving it a little time and to talk with colleagues. Lichtenstein, who is a former chair of her local party, said she had opposed the motion from the first time she heard about it.

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.

Dan Dakich responds to Annie Costable's claim that WNBA players receive more vitriol than male athletes in other sports. For some unknown reason, claiming victimhood is very popular in modern society. Many people seem to think being a victim earns them social capital, so they look for every opportunity to capitalize. A perfect example is WNBA star Angel Reese . WNBA star Angel Reese loves to play the victim card. Perhaps no prominent professional athlete embodies the desire to be seen as a victim as much as Reese, who has spent years painting herself as someone unfairly treated by fans, coaches, referees, reporters and society at large. Of course, that runs counter to the fact that Reese gained immense popularity, fame and money from the same society she regularly claims hates her. The latest example came this weekend, when Toronto Tempo coach Sandy Brondello was caught on a microphone referring to Reese as a protected species. It was immediately obvious what Brondello meant. She thought the referees were giving Reese preferential treatment.

My position feels more precarious than ever. It's a question that I sometimes toss out in the company of friends who--like me, and maybe like you--have a complicated relationship to their job. I've worked at WIRED as a writer for eight years, and with much success. Eight years is also an eternity in news media, and especially if you are Black. All industries suffer from unique growing pains. Ours just so happens to have laughably high turnover rates, a distaste for racial and gender diversity, and the dubious distinction of being perpetually on the verge of extinction. So on nights when friends and I gather, trading war stories of workplace microaggressions and corporate mismanagement under damp bar lighting, we wonder how we've lasted as long as we have. The only reason I've survived, I joke, is because I'm Black. It's a silly thing to say, particularly because I have no actual proof of it other than the occasional feeling. What I do know is that I've been The Only One in more spaces than I care to remember, and rarely by choice.

Online communities for sports fans have surged in popularity, with Reddit's r/PremierLeague emerging as a focal point for fans of one of the globe's most celebrated sports leagues. This boom has helped the Premier League make significant inroads into the US market, increasing viewership and sparking greater interest in its matches. Despite the league's broad appeal, there's still a notable gap in understanding its online fan community. Therefore, we analyzed a substantial dataset of over 1.1 million comments posted from 2013-2022 on r/PremierLeague. Our study delves into the sentiment, topics, and toxicity of these discussions, tracking trends over time, aiming to map out the conversation landscape. The rapid expansion has brought more diverse discussions, but also a worrying rise in negative sentiment and toxicity. Additionally, the subreddit has become a venue for users to voice frustrations about broader societal issues like racism, the COVID-19 pandemic, and political tensions.

A key value proposition of machine learning is generalizability: the same methods and model architecture should be able to work across different domains and different contexts. While powerful, this generalization can sometimes go too far, and miss the importance of the specifics. In this work, we look at how fair machine learning has often treated as interchangeable the identity axis along which discrimination occurs. In other words, racism is measured and mitigated the same way as sexism, as ableism, as ageism. Disciplines outside of computer science have pointed out both the similarities and differences between these different forms of oppression, and in this work we draw out the implications for fair machine learning. While certainly not all aspects of fair machine learning need to be tailored to the specific form of oppression, there is a pressing need for greater attention to such specificity than is currently evident. Ultimately, context specificity can deepen our understanding of how to build more fair systems, widen our scope to include currently overlooked harms, and, almost paradoxically, also help to narrow our scope and counter the fear of an infinite number of group-specific methods of analysis.
