Sunak shows support for brutal Israeli apartheid regime in Netanyahu visit
Who thought we would ever see the day when the leader of a brutal regime that imposes apartheid on people whose land it has stolen would be welcomed to the UK by this country’s prime minister?
But that is exactly what has happened; Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warmly greeted by UK PM Rishi Sunak.
They discussed the war in Ukraine and the behaviour of Iran.
And much has been made of the fact that the visit gave Netanyahu time away from huge opposition to his judicial “reforms” back home in Israel.
But the visit attracted a huge amount of adverse publicity and protest – and rightly so:
The visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with his UK counterpart Rishi Sunak saw protests by Palestinians and their supporters, and by British Jews and expat Israelis opposite at 10 Downing Street. https://t.co/ChmarQrUGm

Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, always on the right side of the debate, made his opinion perfectly clear:
Benjamin Netanyahu operates a brutal regime of apartheid over the Palestinian people.
Instead of rolling out the red carpet, Rishi Sunak should confront the Israeli PM over human rights abuses, ban the trade of illegal settlement goods, and call for justice, equality & peace.

If you don’t understand why the Israeli PM has attracted such a strong reaction, here are a few reminders of his government’s brutality, pulled at random from Twitter:

"There were two Palestinian children playing football, so I took my gun and I shot them in the head," brags an Israeli occupation forces thug.

So does that zionist bribed, proven liar, deceiver and totalscumbg points labour ‘leader’, The tory and establishment stooge, Starmer!
You can’t really expect Sunak to do anything else – he can’t make any profit from Palestine so won’t say anything to the Israel State that could affect his profiteering. Nothing wrong with the Jewish people just their government.
Of course fascist tory Sunak welcomed his bro Netanyahu because thugs must always collaborate in order to maintain their totalitarian stronghold over worthless (sic) peasants! Sunak supporting a fascist thug named Netanyahu and his fake government sends message it is fine for fake governments to use systemic male violence against their population in order to maintain political/social/economic power!!
