Britain Politically Wants Netanyahu’s Head on a Silver Platter

…by Jonas E. Alexis

About a week ago, Yoel Marcus of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz declared that “Benjamin Netanyahu is a danger to Israel.”[1] People in Britain have already picked that theme up and are now asking for the arrest of the Mad Man from Tel Aviv when he comes to Britain next month. Haaretz has recently reported:

“A petition calling for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits Britain in September has reached more than 41,000 signatures and must receive a government response.

“The online petition was uploaded on Aug. 7 to the United Kingdom Parliament’s official website. After 10,000 signatures the government must respond to the petition, and after 100,000 signatures it will be considered for debate in Parliament.”[2]

Russia Today has reported that the 41,000 figure has moved to 45,000.[3] The petition states:

“Under international law he should be arrested for war crimes upon arrival in the U.K. for the massacre of over 2000 civilians in 2014.”[4]

Let us hope that the petition reach the 100,000 mark, for it would force the United Kingdome Parliament to provide a response. We certainly would like to see the mad man in Tel Aviv, commonly known as the “chickenshit,” behind bars for the rest of his natural life.

Last year, “Netanyahu asks US to help Israel avoid war crime charges.”[5] Will he ask the US to do the same thing again, particularly when people in Britain are waiting for his arrival at the airport? If he does, then the Obama administration should send him an ultimatum saying?

“Dear Bibi, virtually no serious person likes you in Britain. Why? Is it because they do not like Israelis? Is it because people like you have some kind of bad DNA? No. People in Britain do not like you because you have been involved in massive killing since you became Prime Minister. You have shattered the dreams of precious children in Gaza and elsewhere,[6] and you are asking us to help you? No, bro. I’m really exhausted. You’re on your own. Didn’t you triumphantly declare that the 9/11 attack would be good for Israel?[7]

“What is so disgusting is that we have been giving your country at least $3 billion every year, and yet it has been reported that you’ve spent some of that money on yourself; You used that money to live an extravagant lifestyle.[8] Sir, that is not nice at all, since we have decent American citizens across the country who cannot even put food on the table. Was this one reason why you revered Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who said that people like me are donkeys and were created to serve you and your brethren? I certainly don’t appreciate that.

“Israel, as former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates rightly pointed out, ‘is an ungrateful ally.’[9] I think Gates was right when he said that ‘In my opinion, any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so delicately put it,’ ‘King Bibi,’ you are certainly a problem child.

“My administration has unceremoniously crowned you as the ‘chickenshit.’ I honestly want to relieve you from that weighty crown and ascend someone else to the throne—perhaps John McCain, Sarah Palin, Lindsey Graham, Marc Rubio, Michelle Bachmann, Ann Coulter, and other Zionist trolls.

“Bibi, the simple fact is that you simply give me no choice because you continue to follow your old, boring and delusional ideology, which has given us nothing but death, misery and chaos both in America and abroad. When will you stop playing double standard, propounding one lie after another, and manipulating decent Americans? When will you grow up? Life is too short. Stop playing political football game. When you seriously mean business, give me a call.”[10]
