The British government just stabbed Israel in the back. UK leaders froze trade talks and slapped sanctions on Jewish settlers while terrorists keep hostages. This weak move rewards Hamas and punishes America’s closest Middle East ally.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced travel bans and asset freezes targeting three settlers, two outposts, and two groups in the West Bank. He claims this stops violence against Palestinians. But these sanctions ignore real terror threats while attacking Jewish families building homes on their ancestral land.
Israel’s government blasted the UK’s “unjustified” punishment. Officials reminded Britain that trade talks were going nowhere anyway. Prime Minister Netanyahu won’t bow to foreign pressure that endangers Israeli security. True leaders protect their people instead of caving to mobs.
Former IDF soldier Jonny Daniels, a British-Israeli patriot, called the sanctions a “disgrace.” His family fought Nazis alongside UK troops. Now woke politicians side with Hamas sympathizers over a democratic nation defending itself. This isn’t the strong Britain our grandparents knew.
Lammy whined about Gaza’s suffering but stayed silent on Hamas using kids as human shields. Palestinian terrorists started this war by slaughtering 1,200 Israelis on October 7. Every death since then is on Hamas’ hands. Weak sanctions on a few settlers won’t save lives—they just make attacks worse.
The UK claims these measures deter violence. Reality check: settler attacks account for under 1% of West Bank casualties. Meanwhile, Hamas fires rockets daily. London targets Jews instead of jihadists. This isn’t peacekeeping—it’s political theater to please anti-Israel activists.
Starmer’s government talks tough but acts timid. They won’t cut aid to Palestinian leaders paying terrorists’ salaries. They won’t demand Hamas surrender. Instead, they punish Israel for existing. This hypocrisy emboldens Iran’s proxies and puts all free nations at risk.
America must step up where Britain failed. We need leaders who stand with allies, not abandon them. If the West keeps blaming Israel for defending itself, radical Islam wins. The UK’s shameful retreat proves conservatives worldwide must fight harder for truth and freedom.
