"There is no Palestinian people"

Finance Minister Smotrich, Paris, Mar 2023, at a podium draped with a 'Greater Israel' map including Jordan.

What it signals

Erasure as policy predicate: a people that doesn't exist can't have rights, land, or a state taken from it.

How to answer

See the 'invented people' library card. Always mention the map he stood in front of — it says what the words are for.
