The Green Party is facing a major internal crisis at its party conference in Brighton as members debate a motion which seeks to officially define Zionism as a "racist ideology."
Vivien Lichtenstein, chair of the Jewish Greens, raised the alarm over alleged "entryism" by anti-Zionist activists attempting to influence party policy.
The Telegraph spoke to members on both sides of the divide, including some of who openly suggested that Zionists need to "change their ways" or leave the party entirely.
It comes as leader Zack Polanski fights accusations of anti-Semitism within the party, just days before he stands in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.
