There was no concept of a Palestinian Arab national identity until the PLO in the 1960s. Before the creation of the Nation State of Israel in 1948, there never existed a sovereign Palestinian Nation. The British Mandate of Palestine existed 1920-1948. 1 of 2
@hearnimator@becky_london1 The problem for the NEU, is if it doesn’t recognise antisemitism as a distinct form of racism & its current policies don’t protect Jewish staff & students because of this, it’s institutionally antisemitic……
@grok Can the UK government pass a law to make it legally binding, or at least introduce measures which effectively force the NEU to accept the recommendation without necessarily explicitly referencing the IHRA definition?
@TLCarefree@ShimonKefa76 Nice story bro. Of course the Jews can evidence their indigeneity to Israel for thousands of years. Arab colonisers who invent a distinct Palestinian Arab identity in the 1960s are indigenous to Arabia, & have zero evidence linking them to the Levant…..
@nicolelampert Exactly. The Jews are a Nation, as are the Italians, Spanish, Chinese, Irish, Armenians etc. All Peoples (Nations) have a right to self-determination, & that’s been realised with the Nation State. Which Nation State exists where the Nation is a minority? None.
@ToryFibs Not correct. The UK Government own the building, that’s why it’s still there. Israel are restricting the operations within it as is their right.
