A US Ambassador Ranted About The UK After It Criticised Israel. This Labour MP Had Just 1 Thing To Say.

Mike Huckabee and Emily ThornberryA Labour MP tore into Donald Trump’s ambassador to Israel this morning after he criticised the UK.Mike Huckabee slammed Britain and prime minister Keir Starmer on X after the UK condemned Israel’s plan to expand its military operation in Gaza, despite the ongoing humanitarian crisis there.Starmer joined many European allies in warning Israel that occupying Gaza City, the largest city in the Palestinian territory, would only cause further “bloodshed”, almost two years after Israel first declared war on Hamas.In a statement on Friday, the prime minister said: “Wwe urge it to reconsider immediately. Every day the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and hostages taken by Hamas are being held in appalling and inhuman conditions. We need a ceasefire now.”But Huckabee replied by bizarrely talking about World War 2.He wrote on X: “So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas & feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved?“Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer?“That wasn’t food you dropped. If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!”In a second post, he added: “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.”Huckabee’s analogy compares the current war in Gaza to the joint British and American decision to bomb the German city of Dresden in February 1945.It was one of the most controversial moments from World War 2 because many argue the attack, which killed around 25,000 people was unnecessary and cruel – especially as it occurred just months before the conflict ended. Meanwhile, Israel is coming under intense scrutiny for its war in Gaza where at least 60,000 Gazans have been killed, and Israel’s aid blockade is causing mass starvation.So Emily Thornberry, the chair of the UK’s Foreign Affairs Committee and a former member of Starmer’s shadow cabinet, offered a no-nonsense response to Huckabee on X.She wrote: “This Ambassador is clearly an idiot.”This Ambassador is clearly an idiot https://t.co/qdpUrg65lT— Emily Thornberry (@EmilyThornberry) August 10, 2025Trump has tried to end the war in Gaza but has refused to commit to recognising a Palestinian state, unlike the UK, France and Canada.Just days after he acknowledged that people are starving in the territory, the US president said it was Israel’s choice to expand its military offensive.Trump told reporters: “That’s going to be pretty much up to Israel.”Related...Would It Make Any Difference If Europe – But Not The US – Stopped Sending Weapons To Israel?Keir Starmer Condemns Israel's Escalation Of Gaza Offensive With Bleak 'Bloodshed' WarningNetanyahu Says Israel Plans To Take Control Of Entire Gaza Strip
