Dr Ashok Kumar from Greens for Palestine appeared on Politics Live after voting for a motion at the Green Party of England and Wales's conference to call Zionism a form of racism. Zionism is the belief in the right to a Jewish homeland. Dr Kumar said the motion included support for a single democratic Palestinian state, instead of a two-state solution. The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council has said the motion "is an attack on the Jewish community."

Presenter Vicki Young was also joined by Annabel Denham, columnist at the Telegraph and Chief Political Correspondent, Henry Zeffman Read more on this story on the BBC News website: https://bbc.in/4zaFsst For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #PoliticsLive #UKPolitics #BBCNews
