    Israel planned to bomb US and UK targets in Egypt in a false flag called the Lavon Affair.

    Israel tried to sink the USS Liberty (killing US citizens).

    Israel stole Uranium from US Uranium stock piles when the US said they weren’t allowed to have a nuclear program (eg. They started one anyway with stolen US Uranium).

    Israel isn’t some friend to the US. It never has been. Lashing out at the UK in defence of Netanyahu’s war crimes is just part of the self-hatred America shows for its self in the name of Israel.

    America - who soon under Trump may halt all support of Ukraine and leave Europe to fend for its self against Russia (but probably won’t due to other powers that be).

    The point is, America keeps threatening its European allies in the name of people doing war crimes (Putin and Netanyahu)… It’s starting to look like; How you say - an axis of evil.

      While I agree with your overall point I’m pretty sure most of us all understand that they didn’t steal the uranium as much as they were allowed to steal the uranium. That’s almost an Open Secret at this point.

      Zionists also bombed the British King David Hotel. The group that carried out the attack, Irgun, later became Likud, Netanyahu’s party.

      We are just waiting for boomer brainrot to die off, this blind israel support gonna lose public support

      Sad reality is that Palestinians will be genocided in the mean time but that’s just how things work when you permit foreign state to infiltrate your institutions like AIPAC did within US.

      Parasites deff ran psyop of the century to get US to pay for the genocide in both political clout and straight cash.

      Clearly folks didn’t learn their lessons because they forgot USS liberty.

    It’s cute that this guy thinks he can crush the UK economy more than the Tories did for the past 14 years.

    Very thoughtful to give Starmer an excuse for not doing something he was never going to do anyway.

        Lets remember. That is pretty much a garrentee he won’t have to.

        Not like Netanyahu is required to visit his jurisdiction. Publicly declaring this will ensure he dosent.

          Until Netanyahu starts pushing the issue and visiting other countries one after the other to show ICC as toothless.

          They’ll probably start with a sure thing and then go through less hostile countries, till they go to one that said it will honor the warrant. And with more countries “behind”, acting on the warrant will seem “irrational”. It’s a bluff, but one that is very likely to work to “normalize” the political situation after the genocide.

    The latest figures I could find from August 2024 shows that USA imports slightly more from UK than vice versa. It is in balance when rounded to the nearest billion.

    Any changes to this would backfire 1:1 on the US.

    What’s the connection between US/UK trade balance and Netanyahu anyway.

      But that billion would be more impactful to the UK economy over the US one due to their respective sizes.

      Would be totally worth it though, not that it would happen.

      This was said by an elected Senator from the United States of America. It doesn’t have to make sense or follow any reasons. 😂

        It is school yard bullying: “Do what I say or I will punch you”.

        If UK obliges to that, he’s just going to use the same threat over and over.

          It absolutely is. But they call it “Balance Of Power” in polite circles.

      Starmer is a well-documented Zionist. There’s no way old Huckleberry Graham would need to follow up on a threat like that.

    I dunno why these chowder heads think they are the kind of people that will get raptured. “Oo I do lots of evil shitty things but I’m totally going to get chosen by a sky fairy who picks people for doing nice things.”

      They are mentally ill sociopaths.

      It doesn’t make sense because you’re trying to ascribe logic where there is none.

      “No-one is the villan of their own story.”

      They think they are doing more good than harm. It’s fucked up, but it’s still helpful to understand how they view the world. It makes it easier to predict and counter them.

      To them, it’s like you threatening to beat up the local priest, while on the way to a major aid drive, because he parked wrongly. They are stepping into stop you interrupting the Lords work! Of course they will be rewarded for that!

    Such a bullshit article using Trump in the headline when talking about what a gay Republican Senator said. Trump has famously disowned his mentor/lawyer when he got AIDS and it became apparent that he was gay. Graham might have his nose painted by Trump’s ass, but Trump doesn’t look his way.

      If Trump didn’t know Roy Cohn was gay, he was one of the only people in New York who didn’t. Which, considering Trump’s monumental ignorance, is entirely possible.
