A spokesperson for the Cornwall Green Party said Creek had “done excellent work as a Green councillor” and they understood there were “different views within the Green Party on the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion”.
They said: “Disagreements over the wording of this one motion should not distract from the fact that the Green Party is united in its condemnation of the racist genocide and ethnic cleansing that Israel is perpetrating in Gaza and the occupied territories, and united in its demand for much tougher sanctions on Israel.
“Labour, by contrast, refuses even to recognise that what we are seeing is genocide, and continues to allow arms exports to and intelligence-sharing with the government that is committing it.
“It’s hard to see how anyone who is serious about action on climate, action to end extreme inequality, and action to prevent an ongoing genocide could switch their support to a party that is not serious about any of these.”
