“There is a pressure from inside Britain to appease these various Islamist forces in Britain. And once you start appeasing, you don’t stop. That’s what we learn. Churchill called it the slumber of democracies. And by that he meant the democracy sort of slumbers while their enemies begin to attack them\u2026 until they hear the jarring gong of danger,” Netanyahu added.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu then explained that Israel is fighting a battle of “Western civilization against these barbarians. And there’s so much deception. There’s so much propaganda. I mean, trying to glorify Hamas, trying to glorify the Islamists that have killed Britons. It killed Americans; it killed Israelis. It killed nationals of dozens and dozens of countries.”<\/p>\n
“And Israel is painted as this great devil. We’re not the devil. We’re a tiny country fighting here in the heart of the Middle East, not only to protect ourselves, but also to protect the modern Arab states against the Iranian domination and these murderous proxies,” he added.<\/p>\n

Finally, Netanyahu said that, even if there are some differences, Britain is considered an ally of Israel.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu also insisted that Israel’s intelligence had warned Britain about an upcoming Iranian-sponsored terror attack ahead of the recent suspected plot against a Royal Air Force (RAF) airbase<\/a>, something he had previously claimed on Wednesday during an interview with Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n “It was stopped. It was prevented,” Netanyahu told\u00a0The Daily Mail, adding that without Israel’s help, “it would probably have gone through, and we don’t know how many British lives would have been lost.”<\/p>\n “It’s mind-blowing hypocrisy; I don’t know how many lives we have saved by giving Britain information about impending attacks,” Netanyahu continued, adding that the UK authorities are “appeasing; they’re attacking Israel, [the country] that is fighting the terrorists in the terrorist regime that is attacking them. They appease their enemies, and they attack their protectors.”<\/p>\n When asked if the intelligence-sharing relationship would continue amid the current tensions, Netanyahu said that he “wouldn’t get into that,” adding that up until now, “Israeli intelligence has repeatedly helped protect Britain from attacks.”<\/p>\n British government at risk of becoming rogue state<\/p>\n
