The UK Labour Government has violated the rights of its own people, and continues to flout the UK’s own immigration laws by allowing a flood of unvetted migration to enter the country via the English Channel, yet it is nitpicking about the words of Israeli government ministers. The UK government (joined by the leftist governments of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway) does not pay attention, however, to the much worse words of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who recently praised the October 7 Hamas jihad massacre. Why not sanction Abbas? The answer is obvious.
Meanwhile, Marco Rubio has denounced the sanctions on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich and urged a reversal, stating:
“We reject any notion of equivalence: Hamas is a terrorist organization that committed unspeakable atrocities, continues to hold innocent civilians hostage, and prevents the people of Gaza from living in peace. We remind our partners not to forget who the real enemy is.
“Britain sanctions Israeli far-right ministers over Gaza comments,” by Elizabeth Piper and Sachin Ravikumar, Reuters, June 10, 2025:
LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) – Britain and four other nations on Tuesday imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, accusing them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway joined Britain in freezing the assets and imposing travel bans on Israel’s national security minister Ben-Gvir – a West Bank settler – and finance minister Smotrich.
“Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights. These actions are not acceptable,” British foreign minister David Lammy, along with the foreign ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway said in a joint statement.”This is why we have taken action now to hold those responsible to account,” the statement said.
Two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said that the sanctions included targeted financial restrictions and travel bans.
Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Saar, said the move was “outrageous” and the Israeli government would hold a special meeting early next week to decide how to respond to the “unacceptable decision”….

I wonder whether Starmer’s regime would dare sanction, say Pam Bondi or Kristie Noem, over any of their statements? We’d make UK as untouchable as Iran

Well it’s kicked off in Northern Ireland. Let’s hope it spreads across the UK. It needs to.

They are always protesting against the Israelian actions in Gaza.
I believe that they Western countries plus EU could have stopped the war before it began.
They should have Made an ultimatum against Hamas on Oktober 7th, demanding that all victims Had tobe returned the next day or otherwise all auf From the West was stopped immediately. But they never did. As far as I know, the Germany governments did Not even negotiate about the Return of the Germany hostages. 8 of them are still in Gaza and.the new Germany government only cares about importing Palestines.
