Sir Keir Starmer has been accused by an Israeli minister of “emboldening the forces of terror” that led to the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC.

Israeli ministers have directed blame towards western political leaders, suggesting their recent condemnation of Israel’s aid blockade and resumed offensive in Gaza was partly to blame.

“We must also hold to account the irresponsible leaders in the West who give backing to this hatred – whether through appeasement, double standards, or silence,” said Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for the diaspora and combatting antisemitism.

“French president Emmanuel Macron, British prime minister Keir Starmer, and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney have all, in different ways, emboldened the forces of terror through their failure to draw moral red lines. This cowardice has a price – and that price is paid in Jewish blood,” he added in a post on X.

Looks like the Israelis have been taking lessons from the Russians for saying the most hilariously ridiculous shit.

In my fanatsy, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back and the UK withdraws its support.

Ohh wow when one of theirs die, it is terror

When they kill children it is "war"

Keep it up Israel, at this rate we gonna hit critical mass this year so we can finally cut the support and let you do your genocide alone while being surrounded by all of them Arabs.

I am sure they will forget what you did as soon as you done 🐸

Starmer (quietly): Maybe we shouldn't let children starve to death? Israeli minister: This is Anti-Semitic.
