Britain waves the white flag to Islamization and illegal immigration

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.

Abu Wadei, a pro-Hamas Gazan, captured his arrival in Britain via the English Channel in a Facebook post.

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.
