Very much in the mode of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Phillips declared that there was no such thing as Palestine or Palestinians. In fact, the only indigenous people around were the Jews, who were the only people with any historic, legal or moral entitlement to this land.

To say this while activists in Britain are being arrested for shouting “from the river to the sea” as an allegedly pro-Hamas chant, hands their defence lawyers a get-out-of-jail card.

Because what Phillips is claiming is that all the land from the river to the sea is Jewish. And as she knows, but the Crown Prosecution Service appears not to, “from the river to the sea” has been Likud policy since 1977.

The idea of having to debate old historic crap just because you want so much to justify kicking people out of their home, preferably while killing them, is absurdly stupid.

Dont forget the rape! They have a sacred right to rape every one of their enemies, and if you dispute that youre an antisemite.
