There is not a single political party or mass movement in Palestine that advocates for this idea. Or in Israel for that matter.
A British politician making such statement is doing imperialism pure and simple. Giving up on an independent Palestinian state is for Palestinians to decide on. Not you.

The @newsagents.bsky.social framed the ADF’s growing presence in the UK as a surprising new export from the US, when they've been infiltrating the UK for YEARS!
It's willful blindness/ hypocricy by journalists who have amplified the transphobic narratives that opened the door to these groups!
