It states that this national sentiment comes with “the implication that only those with a historical tie to the land have a right to belong”.

Funny because the implication is wrong in Britain but if you ask these same types of people about the Americas or Australia the same implication is suddenly very correct. They need to just cut the BS and say what they really mean which is "white people don't belong anywhere"

They'll fiercely argue that very point for Palestinians, on the one hand, but then just as fiercely deny it for the Israelis on the other. So clearly, there's also a cutoff point for these historical ties that applies to time as well as race.
