r/Israel Debates Whether Netanhayu Calling the UK The "Islamic republic" is Wrong

"All things considered, he’s a decent leader. I doubt you would do a better job."

A country being upset for being dumped on - imagine that. btw, as a Polish-American I do acknowledge Poland's role during WWII and I believe folks in Poland need to own up. AND as someone who lives in New York City - we have a bigoted mayor (which I didn't vote for) who is a complete disaster and puts my Jewish neighbors at risk. P.S. I stand by Israel! Next month will be my first visit to Israel - I'll be with my gf who has family there and I can't wait to come over! :)

Does England prefer a different name? Like englandistan or something? What’s not offensive?

people literally call it Londonistan now

I mean... Is it rude? Sure Is it heading that way? Absolutely UK would do well to deal less with manners and more with the growing hostile Islamic population

Ohhhh STFU!! I am so tired of their f’ing pearl clutching when someone gives them the raw truth….but yet a Jew wearing a Magen David walking past a crowd of pro-pally homegrown terrorist sympathizers and wannabes report the guy for simply walking past them as harassment when THEY are the actual bullies and the guy wearing the Magen David is the one that ACTUALLY gets arrested! The UK gov can F right off!

Why? Bibi told the truth. UK today and UK 30 years ago are two diffrent things

Why is the PM in the UK mad? Is it an insult to be called Muslim? I want to hear the UK PM say that being called Muslim is an insult. Do it. He can't have it both ways. He can't be proud of his Muslim community and run cover for them and lock people up for being opposed to Islam and then turn around and pretend he thinks Islam is bad. He locks up his own people who think Islam is bad. Embrace it because it's true now.

Multicultural is the politically correct term. Anything else is bigoted.

Bibi has gone full trump. No respect, no class, no grace.

Israel has 18% Muslim compared to 8% in UK

Full disclaimer, I do not support Bibi. At all. Full stop. That said, I genuinely fear for the safety of Jewish people in the UK, and most of Europe for that matter. After seeing Starmer getting ousted for “not being hard enough on Israel” (even though his government recognized Palestine as a state), I fully expect the leaders in the UK to start leaning into the antisemitic sentiment. One example of this is how a UK tribunal said that some forms of “anti-Zionism” are protected speech. The reason I put that in quotes is because one of those forms they declared protected is that “Jews do not face discrimination”. Seriously, they somehow believe that is not antisemitic. I sincerely hope the Jewish people in the UK find a way out before it’s too late.

Muslims are 6% of the UK population. If your statement is true (I couldn't find a reputable source for that) it means that 2% of the UK population are making it a "Islamic Republic".

They’re more upset about this than the Gilders Green stabbing. Deeply unserious leadership.

I’m confused - is it unacceptable or untrue?

If I'm not mistaken, Muhammed is by far the most common boy's name in the UK. Has been for over a decade.

But it’s absolutely true. They need to fully come to terms with that.

Feels casually antisemitic here too, tbh. Though never quite as bad as it seems when out in the wild ✌️

I mean it's not a republic.

Wow, it sure is offensive to have your country falsely accused of something, innit, gov'na?
