What a ridiculous thing to say. 3/4 of the world's countries recognise Palestine.
The UK, and its bizarre media, are the outlying extremists here.

Part of the issue is you have a very well-paid, privileged and powerful position, so moaning that you're unable to go to the pub because you've gotta pick your kid up sticks in people's craw, since it pales in comparison to their own problems, which they don't trust Labour to fix
