GB News is facing a backlash after a commentator on one of its shows suggested there is “a genocide happening” against white people in England and that immigrants could “turn” on the white population.

“If this was happening in any other place around the world, everyone would be defending and saying: ‘Wow, there’s a genocide happening in this island because it is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to that land.’”

Wonder what his thoughts on Israel are

Maybe we can find out

I assume he wants all Americans to give their land back to the respective tribes then, right?

...all Americans...

I am part native American (14.8% according to genetic analysis). Does that mean that only my right leg is welcome?

I'm afraid you don't get to choose what 14.8% will stay.

We don't want them all back over here though.

You don't even have to go further than the article:

Approached for comment, Corbett-Dillon replied with a lengthy statement in which he said he stood by his comments. He compared his support for England to preserve its “historic English character” with his backing for Israel’s right to be a Jewish-majority state, or Japan to be a Japanese-majority society.
