@talktoharris1 Hi - what I meant was that these are overlapping groups - that many Jews have an emotional connection to Israel (which I explore in the book) AND that many of those also oppose the occupation.

Owen Jones: 'A lot of people in the parliamentary Labour party are horrible' Corbynism was often portrayed as an intolerant authoritarian cult, but some Labour MPs opposed to the leadership were unbelievably unpleasant, which I detail in my new book THIS LAND.
