Britain waves the white flag to Islamization and illegal immigration

New York Post20-07-2025
With almost every day that passes, Britain is progressively embracing its own destruction by groveling to its mortal foes and dumping big-time on its most loyal friends.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government is increasingly surrendering to Islamization while presiding over a poisonous culture of antisemitism that's roaring out of control.
For the past decade, more than 170,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the English Channel from France in small inflatable boats.
Successive governments have failed to deal with this people-smuggling trade, which has provoked fury among the British public aghast at the unsustainable levels of immigration, both legal and illegal.
Brits are also horrified by the impact of large numbers of Muslim migrants who refuse to integrate into British society.

While most UK Muslims sign up to Western values, a very large minority do not.
Of the 43,000 active terrorists on the books of security service MI5, some 90% are Muslim — a community that's a mere 6% of the population.
And now the illegal immigrant trade poses an acute danger to British security.
With MI5 issuing urgent warnings of an imminent threat of Iranian terrorism within Britain, there are indications the all-too-obvious risk of terrorists coming in across the Channel is real.
In May, three Iranian men who arrived in Britain on small boats and a truck to claim asylum were charged with spying for Tehran.

In March, an Arab from Gaza who arrived in southern England on a small boat and posted on social-media support for Hamas and calls for the death of Jews was arrested and jailed after pleading guilty to attempting to enter Britain illegally.
The UK TV station GB News revealed this month that cross-Channel smuggling gangs are marketing themselves with ISIS recruitment videos and execution footage on social media.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Courage Media reported a 'credible' intelligence source warns people-smuggling gangs are facilitating trained Islamic militants' passage across the Channel and have trafficked arms across Europe and into Britain.
Intercepted 2015 telephone calls and letter correspondence between ISIS members divulged their ambition to use migrants in boats crossing the Mediterranean as a 'psychological weapon' against Europe.
Britain already has an estimated 1.2 million illegal migrants, with one in every 13 people in London thought to be there illegally.
Despite all this, Starmer's attempts to deal with the small-boats crisis have been feeble in the extreme. He just agreed a 'one migrant in, one migrant out' deal with French President Emmanuel Macron.
This deal will reportedly be limited to just 50 illegal migrants a week, or 1.5% of all those who've arrived in Britain since the crisis began. On the very day the deal was agreed, some 573 illegal migrants landed on British shores in small boats from France.
The Starmer-Macron agreement provoked ridicule and fury in equal measure among the British public as a hopelessly inadequate response to a national-security emergency.

This must be set in the context of the British state's craven response to the growing political power of British Muslims intent upon Islamizing British society.
Britain commemorated the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 human-bomb attacks on the London Underground and a bus in which 52 people were murdered with wreaths laid and solemn speeches made.
Yet no one — not the prime minister nor the king nor London Mayor Sadiq Khan — mentioned these were Islamist atrocities. Ludicrously, Starmer hailed 'the unity of Londoners in the face of terror,' saying 'those who tried to divide us failed.'
But the bombers didn't try to divide Londoners. They tried to murder as many as possible and in the name of Islam.
Starmer tries to pretend there are no divisions between Muslims and the rest of the public by shutting down all criticism of the Muslim world. Accordingly his government is busily working out ways to give the pseudo-offense of 'Islamophobia' real teeth.
While seeking to stifle any mention of Islamist terror, the government is trying to criminalize those seeking to defend the British way of life.
Thus an online training course hosted on the government's website for the anti-extremism body Prevent lists concern about mass migration as 'cultural nationalism' that could lead to an individual being referred to the deradicalization scheme for subscribing to a 'terrorist ideology.'
Starmer has been much criticized for his reluctance to set up a national inquiry into the pimping gangs, composed overwhelmingly of Pakistani-heritage Muslims, that have kidnapped, raped, prostituted and otherwise abused thousands of very young white girls over the past two decades.
Yet astoundingly, Muhbeen Hussain, who led a Muslim-community boycott of South Yorkshire police over its admission it had failed to act on rape-gang allegations 'because of fears of being called racist' — which he said attempted to 'scapegoat' Muslims — has been awarded the MBE, a prestigious national honor, for 'services to integration' and 'cohesion.'

Compare all this with the treatment meted out to Britain's inoffensive, law-abiding Jewish community, which is experiencing epidemic antisemitism that's off the scale.
Lord Mann and Dame Penny Mordaunt, respectively a Labour and a Conservative politician, this month expressed deep shock in their government-backed report that antisemitism has become 'normalised' in middle-class Britain.
The report, commissioned by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the country's largest Jewish-community organization, found antisemitism to be pervasive in the health service, universities and the arts.
Mann and Mordaunt said what really scared them is 'the increasing normalisation of far more extreme, personalised and sometimes life-changing impact directed at individuals purely and simply because they are Jewish.'
Ever since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led atrocities against Israelis, British Jews have run a gauntlet of hatred, intimidation and attacks, both verbal and physical, as the direct result of incitement based on a systematic campaign of demonization and eye-watering falsehoods about Israel's behavior in Gaza.
Through distortion, decontextualization and outright lies, Britain's media — led by the BBC and Sky — have channeled Hamas propaganda day in, day out.
They have wickedly misrepresented Israel's just and agonizing war to defend itself against extermination and its attempts to safeguard as far as possible the lives of Gazan civilians being used as human shields and cannon fodder as genocide and war crimes.
With Israelis being painted as diabolical child-killers, British Jews find themselves being personally accused of 'killing babies' and restaurants and pubs refusing to serve 'Zionists.'
No other group is spoken of in such a vile manner. No other people is subjected to such profound and obsessional injustice. No other nation is told it has no right to its own country and its national-liberation movement is a source of evil.
Yet instead of defending the country's Jews against this pre-pogrom incitement, the Starmer government has poured petrol on the flames by parroting the same Hamas lies about Israelis killing 'too many' civilians or depriving Gazans of food — this while Israel and America are providing millions of meals to Gazans for the first time receiving food aid that's not being stolen from them by Hamas.
Starmer's behavior displays the dire effects of the alliance that's been forged between Western liberals and Islamist radicals.
It's laying waste to America's Democratic Party and found its most alarming expression in Zohran Mamdani, the Islamist poised to become New York mayor.
He too channels Hamas lies about Israel; he too will make his city's Jewish community more unsafe; he too will undermine America's security.
Americans should gaze upon Britain and be warned.

Iran-Backed Fighters Parade Hostages as Trump Faces New Crisis

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Iranian-backed Yemeni Houthis have issued stern warnings to vessels defying their Red Sea blockade against Israel, confirming in a video Monday that they were holding several crew members of a cargo ship hostage. The crew of the Eternity C, one of two commercial vessels sank earlier in July, included mainly Filipinos, according to the Philippine Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), which said 16 were missing after the attack and called for the immediate release of the "kidnapped" seafarers. Newsweek has contacted the U.S. Embassy in Yemen and the Philippines' Foreign Ministry for comment. Why It Matters The attack on the Eternity C, in the same week the Houthis attacked the Magic Seas, signaled a show of force by the Iran-backed militant group, which is disrupting a key global trade route despite a heavy campaign of U.S. airstrikes in March ordered by President Donald Trump. Trump said the group would be "annihilated" and promised to restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. The U.S. is also imposing sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's proxy influence in the region. A renewed blockade of the narrow Bab el-Mandeb Strait by the Houthis may once again threaten international shipping in general and U.S. economic interests in particular, forcing Trump's hand in the long-restive region.

FILE - Houthi supporters attend a rally against the U.S.-led airstrikes on Yemen and in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Yemen, in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday, Feb. 09, 2024. Despite a month of U.S.-led airstrikes, Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have launched attacks seriously damaging a ship in the crucial Bab el-Mandeb Strait and apparently bringing down an American drone worth tens of millions of dollars. More Osamah Abdulrahman/AP Photo What To Know In the six-minute video released by the Houthis, a distorted voice asked a crew member if he knew the ship was headed to Israel. The crew responded that they were assigned to load fertilizer there for delivery to China. Marc Jayson, the ship's third officer, said the captain had informed the crew they were headed to the Israeli port of Eilat from Somalia. "We asked if there was any bonus for sailing to a high-risk area," he said, adding they received no further details before the attack. Another crew member said the captain had ordered all satellite communications turned off as the ship approached Eilat—a claim the Houthis used to justify their attack against all commercial vessels stopping at Israeli ports. . Filipino Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said an initial investigation found the ship had violated maritime safety protocols by crossing the Red Sea twice—via Egypt, Somalia, and Jeddah—despite a DMW ban on Filipino seafarers boarding vessels transiting the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to the official Philippine News Agency on July 10. In November 2023, the Houthis seized the Galaxy Leader while it was sailing from Turkey to India, detaining its multinational crew, including more than a dozen Filipino seafarers, before being released in January 2025. What People Are Saying Houthis' military media statement on Telegram, translated from Arabic: "Maritime navigation is safe for all except for Israeli ships, those headed to occupied Palestinian ports, or vessels operated by companies that have violated the blockade—until the aggression and blockade on Gaza cease." Aleksei Galaktonin, identified in the Houthi video as an electrical engineer on board the Eternity C, said: "Captain didn't respond to the authority of Yemen. Maybe that's why they started attacking." U.S. Embassy in Yemen in statement on X on July 9: "The Houthis continue to show the world why the United States was right to label them as a terrorist organization." What Happens Next Trump has other pressing priorities globally, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and a trade deal with China, the world's second-largest economy. However, he may be compelled to intervene once more in the Middle East if U.S. shipping costs rise as a result of another blockade. It remains unclear if or when the Houthis will release the Filipino crew members

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is First Republican Lawmaker to Call Gaza Crisis a ‘Genocide'

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who often casts herself as the standard-bearer of MAGA politics on Capitol Hill, said a 'genocide' is underway in Gaza, becoming the first member of her party in Congress to use the term as she condemned the humanitarian disaster unfolding there. 'It's the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct. 7 in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,' Ms. Greene said in a social media post on Monday evening. It was the strongest in a series of escalating statements she has made in recent weeks criticizing Israel's conduct of the war and calling for action to end the suffering in Gaza. The stance is a clear break with the vast majority of Republicans in Congress, who have made unconditional support for Israel a hallmark of their foreign policy approach. Ms. Greene's comments were a direct rebuke of one Republican colleague in particular, Representative Randy Fine of Florida, who has drawn intense criticism for comments he made on social media last week calling the images of starving children in Gaza a campaign of 'Muslim terror propaganda.' 'Release the hostages,' Mr. Fine wrote, adding, 'until then, starve away.' Mr. Fine, a first-term lawmaker who has been outspoken in Congress about his Jewish faith and staunchly pro-Israel views, made the remarks the same day that he was elevated to a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the influential panel that focuses on international policy. Mr. Fine made his comments before President Trump said there was 'real starvation' happening in Gaza and made commitments to offer additional support to increase aid. Want all of The Times?

Not Even AIPAC Wants to Be Associated With This GOP Rep Anymore

Has Florida Representative Randy Fine's shameless cheerleading for death gone too far for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee? After winning Florida's special election in April, Fine claimed that he was AIPAC's 'fastest-ever endorsement.' But on Monday, his name was mysteriously missing from AIPAC's database of pro-Israel candidates. It's not clear why Fine's name has been removed from the ranks of lawmakers championing consent for Israel's catastrophic military campaign, which has killed more than 62,000 people in Gaza. However, one possible explanation is that Fine's recent remarks on the widespread famine in Gaza are too grotesque for even the most staunchly pro-Israel. Last week, ABC News reported that 15 people in Gaza had died from starvation within just 24 hours, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health. Fine responded to the report by wishing for more death and then claiming that it was all a hoax anyway. 'Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,' Fine wrote on X. The post continued, '(This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)' The same day, Fine was appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The American Jewish Committee condemned Fine's statement. 'The serious humanitarian situation in Gaza must not be taken lightly, especially by those at the highest levels of government. Implying that starvation is a legitimate tactic is unacceptable,' AJC wrote on X. 'All those in need of humanitarian aid should receive it promptly and safely. Our leaders must focus less on scoring political points and more on doing their jobs.' But Fine doubled down Sunday, writing on X, 'There is no starvation. Everything about the 'Palestinian' cause is a lie.' If not his comments on Gaza, perhaps it was his bloodthirsty statements advocating violence against protesters that lost him AIPAC's support? In another post Sunday, Fine revealed that the only thing he really supports is murder, pushing for a bill that would allow drivers to run over pro-Palestinian protesters blocking bridges and roads with impunity. 'The Thump Thump Act will allow Americans to run over these Muslim Terrorists,' he wrote. 'They don't try this in Florida because of the bill I helped pass in the Legislature to allow them to be run over. It's time to take it national. Thump thump.' 'To be clear, the Thump Thump Act will also allow you to run over BLM, Antifa, illegal immigrants, and anyone else who intentionally blocks roads! Thump thump!' he wrote in a separate post. AIPAC has not returned The New Republic's request for comment. Just a few months ago, the lobbying group celebrated Fine. Crucially, AIPAC poured more than $126,000 into Fine's campaign, according to FEC filings. But Fine insisted he didn't need AIPAC's money to be a bigot. 'And for the haters who said they bought me, I have news for you,' Fine wrote on X in April. 'They had me for free.' Solve the daily Crossword
