Green Party conference ‘under attack’ to prevent anti-Zionism vote
The Green Party’s conference online voting system is under ‘DDOS attack‘ this morning, as members prepare to vote on a motion to declare the party officially opposed to the racist ideology of Zionism, according to party insiders who spoke to Skwawkbox.
Pro-Israel groups and the Israeli embassy have been frothing for weeks about the vote and attempted to pressure party leaders into blocking the motion, but democracy prevailed and the demands were ignored. Now it seems the Israel lobby is trying to take matters into its own hands.
The Green Party’s tech team is working to resolve or bypass the attack. Voting is taking place throughout the day, so members registered to ‘attend’ should log into the Greens’ members website and make sure to cast their vote for the motion as soon as it is working. Alternatively, the website link in the party’s emails to individual members about the conference appears to be still working despite the attack.
