Mehdi Hasan likens Green Party stance to UN Zionism resolution

Journalist Mehdi Hasan is drawing attention after saying the British Green Party, like the United Nations General Assembly in its 1975 Resolution 3379, "got it exactly right" on Zionism. Resolution 3379 famously declared Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination" before being revoked in 1991. The comment has sparked debate in British political circles over the Green Party's position on Israel and colonialism.

Why now: Mehdi Hasan's comparison of the Green Party's stance to a controversial revoked UN resolution is fueling debate over UK politics and Israel.
