The Green Party of England and Wales has voted to recognise Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide, becoming the first major British political party to do so.

Having made Gaza a prominent plank of its campaign in several areas during the July general election, the party won an unprecedented four seats in parliament.

The motion, which was passed at the party's annual conference on Sunday afternoon, branded Israel's assault on Gaza a "genocide" - and declared support for the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement

Consuming and spreading propaganda is not learning information.

Stein was investigated they found no links to Russia.

Do you have any concrete information that points to a successful green party win in the current electoral system controlled entirely by the two parties that isn't just ensuring Trump is the next president again (who Russia actively strives to promote through actual propaganda farms)? If not then you're not bringing solutions, you're just muddying the waters for no productive reason.
