It has encouraged a focus on words over substance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eErasing Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of how this has happened, with a focus on internal politics within Britain over the course of the past several years. In order to do so, it tells a much longer story, about the history of antisemitism since the beginning of the twentieth century.
