US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Friday, unleashed a harsh condemnation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s calls for de-escalation in Israel’s fight against Hamas. In a pointed Twitter message, Huckabee demanded to know if Israel is expected to simply surrender to Hamas and feed terrorists while its own citizens remain held hostage and starved. He drew a stark historical parallel, asking if Britain capitulated to the Nazis during World War II or dropped food supplies to them, invoking the brutal bombing of Dresden as a symbol of resolute resistance.
Starmer’s public denouncement of Israel’s military escalation as “wrong” and his demand for immediate reconsideration were met with blunt dismissal. Supporters of Israel highlight that Prime Minister Netanyahu has authorized the transfer of two million tons of humanitarian aid into Gaza—aid that Hamas deliberately blocks from reaching Israeli hostages. They accuse Starmer of irresponsibly ignoring these realities and note that even the Arab League has unequivocally demanded Hamas disarm and release all hostages immediately.
Huckabee’s blistering criticism underscores the failure of Western leaders like Starmer to grasp the brutal nature of Hamas and the existential threat Israel faces. It is a call to stand firmly with Israel’s right to defend itself, not to indulge appeasement that only emboldens terrorism.
How much food has Starmer and the UK sent to Gaza? @IsraeliPM has already sent 2 MILLION TONS into Gaza & none of it even getting to hostages. Maybe UK PM ought to sit this one out & follow Arab League who said Hamas should disarm & release ALL hostages immediately.
