RT: @newscord_org This Labour MP didn't consult with a single Palestinian.
Time and again, British politicians back Zionism without ever thinking to ask the people living through it.
And that isn't an oversight. It's the racism that has run through the political class since the Balfour Declaration: non-white people are seen as so insignificant that consulting them never even crosses their minds.
Palestinians are the victims of Zionism, a secular political movement Theodor Herzl organised in 1897, yet they're treated as bystanders to their own story.
