A prominent anti-Israel barrister has been jailed for six months after she was videoed ranting drunkenly on an Air India flight about how she was “an international criminal lawyer for the f***ing Palestinian people”, and spat in the face of a member of the cabin crew.
Simone Burns from Hove, also known as Simone O’Broin, was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday, having pleaded guilty to both assault and being drunk on an aircraft at her trial last month at Uxbridge Magistrates Court.
In footage of the incident filmed by a fellow passenger, Burns can be seen remonstrating with a member of the flight crew after being refused a fourth bottle of wine on a flight from Mumbai to London last November.
“I’m a leader of the f***ing boycott movement", she shouted at a member of the cabin crew.
“If I say "boycott" - f***ing Air India, done… I'm a f****** barrister. A human rights lawyer, and an international criminal lawyer.”
She also called airline staff “Indian, money grabbing c****," smoked a cigarette in the toilets and spat in the face of a female member of staff who refused to serve her more alcohol.
She was arrested by the police when the flight landed at Heathrow.
Burns has previously written a paper accusing Israel of genocide over its treatment of the Palestinians, whom she described as "a group struggling for self-determination against a colonial, racist regime”.(snip)
The magistrates court had referred her case to the High Court after concluding that her offences deserved a more serious sentence than that which they were able to hand down.

Well, she sure sounds like a charming young lady!
Leftists like her are deluded, disoriented, deranged, and dangerous.
Liberal.
“Rights”.
Pala(bleeping)stinian.
What more can you ask?
She and Hillary would get along like jam on bread.
Conrad Hilton did worse on his plane ride. He got a slap on the wrist.
Polluting the environment is a no-no for a Lib. Also, the liquor shows in her face as it always does, just like Barbara Bush
Psychopath, for sure.
She was probably a looker when young, although likely with a cold, angry aspect.
But now, the anger seems to have taken over. “Let the Dark Side of the Force flow through you...”
btt
What, no wedding ring?? I’m shocked I tell ya!
What is that on her nose?
She looks like Robert the Bruce’s father in Braveheart.
I wonder what the issue is with her nose. Not to mention that lesion on her face.
Geeze if I was a bazillionaire I’d fly on private jets. I love flying. But I hate commercial flying.
“What is that on her nose?”
Looks like a bandage. Prolly been in another bar fight.
Burns in jail for 6 months?
Didn’t someone try to put that fire out in all that time?
