On 11 Jun 2020 the Jewish Chronicle told its readers that Tzipi Hotovely as a "Likud politician has been a vocal advocate of the West Bank annexation plan". 
Who? What has she said? Here in @guardian on 22 May 2015 is what Tzipi Hotovely said when she became Deputy Foreign Minister of #Israel: "This land is ours. All of it is ours." Her religion tells her that #Palestinians have no claim to land in which they had lived until 1948.
On 12 Jun 2020 @JVoiceLabour aligned itself with @intifada, which had quoted Hotovely's own words to show that she can legitimately & objectively be called "an open advocate of [unapologetic] Zionist settler-colonialism & racism." (electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…)
Also by 12 Jun 2020 @NaamodUK had launched a petition asking the UK to reject Israel’s new Ambassador: "As British Jews we are clear: Tzipi Hotovely's values and politics have no place in the UK": actionnetwork.org/petitions/reje…
So when on 19 Jun 2020 Keir Starmer as Leader of the UK Labour Party 'met' the Board of Deputies of British Jews he should have known a great deal about Tzipi Hotovely, & also about the BoD & their president's position on annexation's razor-wire fence: thejc.com/news/uk-news/b…
In his campaign to become Leader of the UK Labour Party, Keir Starmer & the other candidates had in effect promised the BoD (which hadn't recently supported Labour's aims) exceptional status for the Jewish Labour Movement (which didn't help Labour in the 2019 General Election):
What did Keir Starmer say about that virtual meeting? Did the elephant in that virtual room forget to enable audio & video? When @guardian reports outrage about Hotovely in 'sections of the British Jewish community' he's invisible too, unseen & unheard: theguardian.com/world/2020/jun…
That's the context in which this satirical tweet of mine should be read: there is a parallel & a connection between the rights of the people of Palestine to self-determination & our demand that our Labour Party must defend the political spaces we claim:
