Peter Oborne – Global Research Oct 19, 2023
Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s most feted post-war prime minister, was fiercely pro-Jewish and a powerful enemy of antisemitism.
But she was never afraid to call out Israeli war crimes, and did so repeatedly.
When the Israeli army stood by in September 1982 as Christian Phalangists slaughtered Palestinian refugees and Lebanese citizens in the Shatila and Sabra refugee camps, she described the massacres as “an act of pure barbarism”.
And, as historian David Cronin has exposed in an illuminating article for Declassified, she wrote to then US President Ronald Reagan of “an urgent need for a balanced policy”, adding that “unlimited support for Israel can only lead to growing polarisation and despair in the Arab world”.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who flew into Tel Aviv to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 19 October, loves to present himself as the heir to Margaret Thatcher.
This is nonsense.
The historical record shows that Thatcher would have arrived in Tel Aviv swinging her handbag. Of course, she would have extended her deepest sympathy to Israel for the attack on 7 October. But she would also – as a strong supporter of Israel – have given Netanyahu a stern lecture on morality, international law – and global statesmanship.
What a contrast with pitiful Sunak, who has come to Israel as Netanyahu’s poodle.
Reckless Language
Sunak made a mistake when he expressed Britain’s “unequivocal” support for Israel, thus giving Netanyahu, leader of the most far-right government in the country’s history, carte blanche to order war crimes.
Sunak’s reckless language means that Britain is already complicit in the carnage committed across Gaza by Israeli bombing over the last 12 days, the destruction of hospitals and civilian infrastructure, the targeting of schools, the wiping out of entire families, and the slaughter ofapproaching 4,000 Palestinians.
To be fair, this policy of giving Israel impunity to commit war crimes did not start with Sunak.
It was reaffirmed recently by then Prime Minister Boris Johnson who, in a letter to the Conservative Friends of Israel in April 2021, announced that he would block an International Criminal Court investigation into war crimes committed by Israel.
In a further show of support for Israel, on 18 October, Sunak ordered Britain to abstain on the United Nations resolution calling for “humanitarian pauses” in order to deliver essential aid to save lives in Gaza.
Britain was the only country to abstain apart from Russia, with the US vetoing the resolution.
Netanyahu would have got the message: carry on bombing.
I have studied Sunak’s comments to the media and speeches in parliament. There has not been one mention, let alone condemnation, of Israel’s declared policy of collective punishment, as formally set out by Israeli defence minister, Yoav Gallant, with his announcement of a “complete siege of the Gaza Strip” with “no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed”. Even though such action is illegal under international law.
Sunak’s government is seemingly untroubled by Gallant’s claim that Israel was fighting “human animals”.
Gallant has since made the terrible statement that Israel “will eliminate everything” in Gaza. No condemnation from Sunak or his government. Many Palestinians understandably see this as genocidal language.
—
Murderous message
Gallant, remember, is the minister in charge of Israeli troops.
He is sending a murderous message to the soldiers under his authority who, if Israeli plans go ahead, will soon be entering the densely populated Gazan enclave, home to 2.3 million people.
Meanwhile, Sunak has already deployed a naval task force – including a company of Royal Marines, two ships and three helicopters – to the Eastern Mediterranean in support of Israel.
According to a British government statement, this military package will “reinforce regional stability”. Yet Sunak imposed no conditions in return for this support. No demands for restraint. No reminders of Israel’s solemn duty to protect civilian life.
When asked by Matt Frei of Channel 4 News whether he would be urging restraint on Israel, Sunak wouldn’t even answer.
This is especially remarkable given the outbreak of dehumanising language among Israel’s political and media elite over the past few days.
The activist Yehuda Shaul has compiled a collection of such quotes. They are beyond chilling. Likud MP Revital Gottlieb calls on Israel to “bring down buildings! Bomb without distinction! Flatten Gaza. Without mercy!”
Another Likud MP, Ariel Kallner, calls for “Nakba to the enemy now”.
This deranged discourse has raised no concern from Sunak’s Downing Street. Not even an eyebrow. There’s been no rebuke, and it’s easy to see why. The most senior politicians in Israel are at it. Up to and including President Isaac Herzog himself. “Nobody is innocent in Gaza,” according to him.
Fair Game for Slaughter
Think of the licence to kill this grim statement from Israel’s head of state sends out to Israeli troops ahead of the looming invasion.
According to Herzog, Gaza’s civilians are fair game for the slaughter.
There’s no evidence this troubles Sunak, who met Herzog on his visit to Tel Aviv. Sunak’s message: carry on with the slaughter.
Israel has killed more than 1,500 children in Gaza since the latest bombing began. Not even a passing mention.
In the West Bank, Palestinians are under systematic settler attack amid fears of a wave of ethnic cleansing. No mention.
At one point, Sunak even extended his sycophancy towards Netanyahu into servility, telling the Israeli prime minister at their joint press conference that “I know that you are taking every precaution to avoid harming civilians” – a lie which insults the memory of the thousands of Palestinians killed or injured in Israeli bombing raids over the last 12 days.’
All this means that Sunak’s visit to Israel is a shaming day for Britain. It marks the moment that all my country’s claims to represent fairness, decency and the rule of law – admittedly always hypocritical and self-interested – have been abandoned.
Prime Minister @netanyahu, I stand with you in Israel’s darkest hour.
I welcome your commitment to ensure routes into Gaza are opened for humanitarian aid.
I support your work to secure the release of hostages, to strengthen your security and to end the threat from Hamas. pic.twitter.com/ZrLJALTzBN

Sunak’s moral vacuum alarms even the dictators and despots whom Britain counts as allies across the wider Middle East. The British prime minister apparently plans to make a series of visits across the region in the days ahead.
Exactly where is being kept secret, officially for security reasons. The real reason, it is not difficult to guess, is that Sunak is no longer welcome and fears being snubbed.
Ever since the Second World War, Britain has claimed to stand up for what we fondly call liberal values. He’s made these values worthless. It is hard to exaggerate the scale of this betrayal.
I also think that Sunak’s moral negligence is a tragedy for Israel itself. The last thing Israel needs at this dark moment is a blank cheque to commit further war crimes.
Sunak had an opportunity, as a true friend of Israel, to urge restraint. He has not taken it.

It’s all tosh. Thatcher would say one thing and so another. Why do you think she said Blair was her true heir? I doubt that Thatcher was a full Nazi, but she was controlled by them, such as the Falklands sucker punch, when forces were withdrawn from the Islands group which made it easy pickings, and Thatcher rode to another term on a staged war.
The big lesson from the Falklands ruse wa ls that ships are redundant in the missile age, apart from launching missiles, and carriers are even more redundant.
There are two carriers in the Med, 10,000 rams and ewes, many other supporting naval vessels, and to think, two Russian hypersonic missiles would sink them for just $3 million, against $3 billion for the carriers, men and aircraft.
These are carriers could be Biden’s sucker punch moment?
Sunak isn’t a Jew, but he is a fully paid up Nazi, just like Starmer. I always said Corbyn was MI6 sleeper, but is Corbyn a Nazi, no.
Is Piers Morgan a Nazi, yes, Is Andrew Neil a Nazi, yes. They might not fully understand their predicament, but it’s a fact. You might hang with organised crime, you might think you are not involved, but the Nazi police will think differently, just as the Nazis have illegally persecuted individuals, and even stolen their money and assets, just through legal association. Oh, look, you have this number on your ID phone, and you went to this party held by X, so we’ll steal your money and sell your house, and give it to Nazi Jew Zelensky.
Play by Nazi rules, by association, if not deed, they are Nazis. In many ways, Thatcher was quite dim. After deregulating the City Crime Cartels, she’s quoted as saying: “My God, what have we done”. I believe she was downing a brandy with Willie White law, he was a Nazi.
To think that Thatcher burned all the North Sea revenues just to sell anything of value to the City Crime Cartels? Crimes so great you couldn’t pitch it to any Hollywood producer. Gordon Brown, a top tier Nazi. Gave untold billions to bust banks, and sold nearly all Nazi UKs gold when the price was rock bottom. Brown was a monumental Nazi crook.

Sunak is VERY likely to be a FREEMASON.
And quite possibly a crypto jew.
Of course the sawn off little midget was a wrong ‘un right from the start and had to be IMPOSED on the British public.
Ever since Bliar it has been down hill all the way.
Bliar is reputed to be worth 100,000,000 so obviously he has been well rewarded for his treachery.
In reference to the above….the invasion of Iraq ws EVERYTHING to do with removing Israels main enemy Which explains why the movement “no more wars for Israek” sprang up.
You can be sure Bliar was directly involved with the murder of the weapons inspector …..using the British Secret Police MI5.

Yet another BLOCKUSTER from ZOGUK Productions!

FUN* the WHOLE Family!
(*Just as long as you dont happen to live in GAZA!!! 😄)
The UK will do whatever the Jews demand, up to and including accepting it’s own nuclear destruction. The Brits are the ultimate goy slaves.
A true “friend of Israel” does not “urge restraint”.
A true friend of Israel grovels in the mud, sells out his goyim population to economic slavery, and possible death in war, and generally wastes their life living as a materialistic slime-mold.
In other words, emulating the self-chosen.
POS Sumac is just another another brown turd is service to Wrathschild.
So cozy with Satanyahu, the most evil man alive.
Sunak is a dilettante, bought and owned by the KM. His perpetually smiling eyes only signify his complete lack of wisdom in political matters. He’s just another one of those dolts who would see the entire world destroyed rather than fight Jewish power and money. When are people going to realize that we can easily destroy these tribal psychopaths if we just work together ? There’s no way they could stop us. We would crush the life out of them, but oh no no no, don’t wanna step on anyone’s toes, do we ? Especially if it effects my tax-free handouts. When are these idiots going to realize that they are ALL being used and that in the end, they too will be sacrificed when the Jews take the throne ? Poor stupid bastards.
Fishi Sumak is another bland ignoramus like Trudope. These 2 inhuman and inhumane animals have quasi-permanent fake smiles which is why they were chosen. Hapless teletubbies only need to see these smiling assholes to make them believe that these monsters must be good people. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are odious and grotesque caricatures of a human being. In my world, a cloud of mosquitoes is more honorable than all these stinking, putrid, disgusting and vile political bastards.
(UK) P.M. Sunak, or Rishi Rich as he should be known. Is generally nothing much more than a political joke, and a Goldman Sachs endorsed stooge (where he financially learned his trade). Who will bare the brunt of the UK General Election battering that his beloved Tory Party so truly deserve. After over a decade of hapless pretenders and gutless wonders. Who’ve failed the British People on nearly every score imaginable. (And we certainly don’t want the Labour Party in charge again either. As Starmer, Rayner & Co will be even worse!)
Not that it surprises me. As there’s been very little leadership or democracy since just after the mid 90’s when neo-con fascist TONY ‘Teflon/War Criminal’ BLAIR first entered 10 Downing Street.
Time for a political, financial and cultural revolution…..and believe you me. It’s coming!
Rishi Sunak, given his Punjabi Hindu descent, is a natural Muslim hater. So it is not at all surprising that ‘kill the Muslims’ comes easily to him. One might even add that he is at least nowhere nearly as stupid as our last PM, the brain-dead Liz Truss, or indeed, that he is not stupid at all. Still, the UK picture does not brighten up. It remains hopelessly dull: We cannot see the ‘how of’, nor yet the point of, the Johnsons’, the Stramers’, the Trusses’ and to Sunaks’ rise to the top of the political pile. But we do know the power that put them there. We blanche as we look upon this, the present British picture, and shed a tear, for there is no ‘Britain is’ in sight. We see only ‘Britain was’. Vale, Britannia.
@Albion..
It’s quite possible Sunak is a Radhanite silk road jew…his name suggests this…
He’s also very camp and an absolute midget and it looks like Nuttyahood is a bit of a dwarf too…..
Runts should be Spartan’d… (even if you aren’t quite sure at the cliff edge, it’s best to bite the bullet than regret it later)….
I wonder what Umbra B has to say about Richie Sh*tsack.
Carl Jones–at the time of the Falklands War didn’t Argentina have a genuinely Nazi gov. (not in the way YOU use the term Nazi)?
lewis jones: I would expect Nazi influences to arise wherever Nazis decided to settle. Britain created Nazism, does the Nazi UK give a crap about Germany?
Plenty of Nazis moved to South America, and you see WW2 Nazi influences in many South American countries, especially in military uniforms and state emblems.
I would also add that Nazism isn’t some fixed thing, it’s fluid, but held together by hate. You could argue South American elites hate their poor sheeple as most other Nazis hate anyone who presents themselves as a threat, such as the Chinese, it’s almost more worse than how British and Amerikan Nazi sheeple get treated by their Nazi elites. Wasn’t Thatcher bonking Pinochet, when she wasn’t bonking Jimmy? Pinochet was a Nazi, South America was and probably still is full of Nazis. This would make sense, given that 4000 German Nazi intel officers were inducted into the British created CIA.
Suharto was another UK/US Nazi. I feel I have a rather thick book in the making.

Ever since the battle of Waterloo, the Rothschild’s have run this country. They own the Bank of England, they own England, lock, stock and barrel. Gutle Schnaper Rothschild said, ‘If my son’s don’t want war, there won’t be war’. And that includes every war ever fought, including what’s occurring in Israel.

My God, how has it come to this….the Jewnited States had, and still has really, a homosexual non-citizen African sodomite communist in the Blight House and the Jew-K has a greasy little street-shitter traitor, sporting his Jew-blue tie, in No. 10. Not that it really matters which compromised bootlck-du-jour pollutes those offices, as they are only depraved puppets putting on a (shit) show on the front while Shlomo has a claw reaching far up the rear to manipulate the shameless stooge.
Anyone who doesn’t think the West has been shoved off a cliff by Jewry and is drowning in a toxic cesspool isn’t paying the least bit of attention.
Rishi Sunak…built like a sawed-off pencil and a pathetic nub of a dong the size of a baby hummingbird, thinking ill-gotten money and treachery will fill out his grossly lacking manhood and perhaps make his wife stop rolling her eyes and stifling a laugh. That sniveling shit-weasel Sunak should be dragged to Trafalgar Square by his ankles, lifted off the ground by his Jew-blue tie and used as a punching bag, violently sodomized by Kunta and the Migrant Boyz, then sliced from tits to taint and strangled with his own intestines.
