Netanyahu to Starmer: ‘You’re on the wrong side of humanity’ | LBC callers react
Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Sir Keir Starmer of being “on the wrong side of humanity”.
00:14 Ahmed in Swansea agrees that Starmer is on the ‘wrong side of history’.
02:38 John in Seaford makes a comparison between Israel’s actions now and the Allies in World War II.
05:02 Dave in Golders Green is worried about the safety of his Jewish daughter.
07:35 Ahmed in New Malden believes the only entity that can stop Israel is the United States.
09:00 Joe in Forest Hill reminds listeners that Keir Starmer’s children are Jewish and he is not ‘sticking up for Hamas’.
The Israeli Prime Minister attacked Sir Keir’s recent comments after he released a joined statement alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney.
Mr Netanyahu said: “I could never understand how this simple truth evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, and others. They’re now proposing to establish a Palestinian state and reward these murders with the ultimate prize.
“Well, for 18 years, we had a de facto Palestinian state. It’s called Gaza. And what did we get? Peace? No, we got the most savage slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
“You won’t be surprised to learn that Hamas thanked President Macron and Prime Minister Starmer and Carney for demanding that Israel end its war in Gaza immediately.
“Hamas was right to thank them, because by issuing their demand, replete with a threat of sanctions against Israel, against Israel, not Hamas, these three leaders effectively said they want Hamas to remain in power.
“They want Israel to stand down and accept that Hamas’s army of mass murderers will survive, rebuild, and repeat the October 7th massacre again and again and again. Because that’s what Hamas has vowed to do.”
Mr Netanyahu went on to address the world leaders directly.
He said: “I say to President Macron, Prime Minister Carney, and Prime Minister Starmer, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers, and kidnappers thank you, you’re on the wrong side of justice, you’re on the wrong side of humanity, and you’re on the wrong side of history.”
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told LBC that Netanyahu’s comments were ‘outrageous and obnoxious.’
He told Ben Kentish: “I think that this is outrageous and obnoxious to even suggest that there was any connection with the statements made by Prime Minister Starmer, President Macron, or Prime Minister Carney of Canada.
“Terror is terror. It’s totally unacceptable and unforgivable to try and suggest that the leaders of friendly nations as England and France and Canada have contributed to (the shootings in Washington). It just proves again that Netanyahu is not on the right side of history.”
Mr Netanyahu said while these leaders may think they’re advancing peace, “they’re not”.
He added: “They’re emboldening Hamas to continue fighting forever. And they give them hope to establish a second Palestinian state from which Hamas will again seek to destroy the Jewish state.
“And mind you, it’s not going to be a state free of Hamas when you establish a Palestinian state. We’ve seen it. The radicals take over. Iran sends them in and they take over. So don’t give us this talk – ‘it’ll be a peaceful Palestinian state’. It won’t be.”
“But the hypocrisy doesn’t stop there,” he continued.
“These and other leaders have bought into Hamas propaganda that says Israel is starving Palestinian children. And not only is Hamas putting out this lie, a few days ago, a top UN official said that 14,000 Palestinian babies would die in 48 hours.
“You see, many international institutions are complicit in spreading this lie. The press repeats it, the mob believed it, and a young couple is then brutally gunned down in Washington.”
