Benjamin Netanyahu describes UK as ‘first Islamic republic to get a nuclear weapon’

Lmfaooo fucking Chabad...
Literally one of the main reasons Russian invade Ukraine in 2022 was to prevent the Ukrainian civil trial against the former owners of PrivatBank, who had been laundering shit tons of Russian money, and much of it went to Chabad charities in the UK, Europe, and south-east US (particularly Delaware). They bought up loads of land. There were other trials in Delaware and the UK, these were postponed in lieu of the Ukrainian trial (where discovery would surely uncover more details than anywhere else) - billed to be the trial of the year, if not the decade - which was scheduled for summer 2022.
The King was stripped of power after the American Revolution in the Madness of King George. I think they sent the old bitch into a puzzle factory at some point. I hear he pissed blue sometimes too, he had something real going on medically.
So 3 centuries of republican rule in truth. Plus the English wrested more power from their monarchy than the others with the Magna Carta and all.
If Australia isn't a Republic calling UK one is reaaally stretching it
Who says Australia isn't a republic? Both the UK and Australia are degenerated but still republics, nominally. In truth they both crossed over to oligarchy just after 2021 I would argue. Still republics though.
I mean, Israel's going to have a more-Muslim population than the UK does.

Israel: 18.0%
United Kingdom: 6.0%
Yes, BUT the UK doesn't see muslims as subhuman.
Tbf, generally the UK on the whole is much more accepting than a lot of other places. There are noisy and growing fringe movements, but the quiet majority of Brits just want everyone to queue up and get on with it.
Brits just want everyone to queue up
Finally! Now we're getting to the real issues
And Israel also happenes to be more Republic than the UK which is famously a monarchy
They are also the first Hindu republic to get one, the first Polish Republic, the first South African, the first Australian, etc etc
Its called being a multi cultural society. Its is everything that makes people civilized. Its exactly what that the Zionists, the Islamic extremists and the Christian fundamentalism hate.
Second. The US has all those groups, so we're the first.
They are actively supplying israel with weapons for genocide and Netanyahu disrespects them???
My guess is Burnham refuses to talk about it. Too much money is changing hands. If the genocide doesn't bother him an insult won't phase him.
benny probably fears they are losing support from the UK.
Right wing nutjobs spreading right wing nutjob talking points.
What a knob
Relations between the UK and Israel have been increasingly strained in recent months, especially since Andy Burnham took over in No 10. Shortly before becoming prime minister, he apologised for Labour’s initial response to Israel’s military action in Gaza, saying the party “didn’t get it right” and needed to “do better” under his leadership, signalling a significant shift in the UK’s approach to the Middle East.
This line literally made me tilt my head. The Guardian can't make up their mind whether Burnham is the reason the relationship with Israel is strained, or whether Barnham becoming PM is going to make it better.
Given the context, I assume they mean that Burnham is apologising for a too pro-Israel initial response to what happened in Gaza. Something which of course would further strain the UK's relationship with Israel.
What was that, Ben? Did you say "I am Britain's enemy - please nuke me"?
Well, that's going to ruffle some feathers...
Sadly I doubt it will. The sycophants in the Labour party are bought and sold by the Israelis - they'll roll over and show their tummy, they wouldnt want to stop those sweet sweet bribes donations
I guess this just makes him look like a jackass, which is a better look than some others he has.

Lolwut ? I want the drugs he's on...
Pakistani got the bomb in the 1990s and they genuinely are both a republic and a majority muslim (I'm not sure the exact definition of "Islamic Republic" he's using.)
On the other hand a single digit percentage of the UK population are Muslim (6%), and dude, we've been a monarchy for all bar a couple of decades of the last 1500 years.
The Muslim thing is less a worry than trying to pretend one of the longest running monarchies around is a republic, I mean it's just delusional.
In the last millenium England has only been a republic for the couple of decades in the 1600s when Cromwell took over and executed the king. Scotland has been a monarchy the entirety of the last millenium, Wales has been under the English monarchy since the Normans finished slaughtering them in the 1300s.
