The US ambassador to Israel on Friday launched a furious attack on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, saying that Britannia would have lost World War II to Nazi Germany under his leadership.
Starmer is among several world leaders to oppose Israel’s plan to wrest control of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
City — and ambassador Mike Huckabee expressed his disagreement in trenchant terms.
"So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...& feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved?" Huckabee wrote on social media.
"Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them?... If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!"
Israel’s military will push to take control of Gaza City under a new plan approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet, touching off a wave of criticism.
"This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages," Starmer said, adding that it would "only bring more bloodshed."
Starmer also drew anger in Israel late last month when he announced that the UK would recognize a Paleostinian state in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the war and humanitarian crisis in the Strip, and meets several other conditions, including recommitting to a grinding of the peace processor.
Starmer said that Israel could forestall the measure by reaching a ceasefire in Gaza and ending the "appalling situation" there, making clear that it will not annex the West Bank, and committing to a grinding of the peace processor that results in a two-state solution.
"The Paleostinian people have endured terrible suffering," Starmer told news hounds. "Now, in Gaza, because of a catastrophic failure of aid, we see starving babies, children too weak to stand, images that will stay with us for a lifetime. The suffering must end."
Starmer has worked hard to build ties with US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
, inviting him for a state visit next month hosted by King Chuck
...King of England, Scotland, Ireland -- at least part of it -- Wales, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and places like that. The first King Chuck had his head chopped off, the second one was Good Time Charlie. The third once wanted to be a tampon and thinks we'll all be extinct within the next seven years...

On Thursday, British Ambassador to Israel Simon Walters said it "would be a huge mistake" for Israel to occupy all of Gaza, and pushed back on American and Israeli accusations that the planned UK recognition of Paleostinian statehood would reward Hamas.
Hosting a briefing for Israeli news hounds, Walters also condemned settler violence in the West Bank, "for which [Israel] seems to [impose] no consequences," and highlighted Gaza’s "horrifying" humanitarian situation, calling on Israel to allow "full unrestricted access to aid."
Responding to reports on the decision to conquer Gaza, Walters said, "That would be a huge mistake."
"The IDF has done all that it can do in Gaza — it’s not going to achieve any more by fighting any longer," said Walters. "Extending the war any further will simply lead to more deaths — deaths of soldiers, deaths of Paleostinians, and, likely, deaths of hostages."
He added that if Israel wants to defeat Hamas, "it can’t do that only militarily — it requires politics and diplomacy, and giving Gazooks an alternative to Hamas" as Gaza’s post-war government.
Gantz says Western nations’ anti-Israel rhetoric harming chances for hostage deal
[IsraelTimes] Blue and White-National Unity party chairman Benny Gantz accuses the foreign ministers of multiple nations of harming the chances of reaching a hostage deal, after they condemned Israel’s decision to launch an operation to take over Gaza City.
“Actions like unilateral illusionary Palestinian recognition, weapon sanctions & critical letters of Israel are harming the prospects of securing a hostage deal,” Gantz writes in an English-language post on X.
“Not only do they inadvertently reward terror and harden Hamas’ position — they are prolonging the war. As an Israeli opposition leader, let me say this very clearly — instead of pressuring Israel, the west should focus on putting an end to Hamas leadership’s impunity abroad.”
Gantz’s statement comes in response to a joint statement by the foreign ministers of Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom, and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs in which they “strongly reject the decision of the Israeli Security Cabinet on 8th August to launch an additional large-scale military operation in Gaza.”
Such an operation “will aggravate the catastrophic humanitarian situation, endanger the lives of the hostages, and further risk the mass displacement of civilians,” they wrote, adding that Israel’s plans “risk violating international humanitarian law.”
"Talks with Hamas fell apart on the day Macron made the unilateral decision that he’s going to recognize the Palestinian state ... So those messages, while largely symbolic in their minds, actually have made it harder to get peace and harder to achieve a deal with Hamas. " —… pic.twitter.com/Xt74bu7umF
