Neville Chamberlain

Time and again, our leaders make the same mistakes. History should have taught them long ago that appeasement emboldens dictators. The only way to make ourselves secure is by arming ourselves properly and responding to aggression with dauntless courage. Iran has felt emboldened to launch this ferocious attack for one key reason: the West has spent years trying to placate(itals) its odious mullahs, rather than making it clear that their malign actions will have sharp consequences. In recent weeks, all too belatedly, President Biden has stated that Washington's commitment to Israel is 'iron-clad'.

The medieval home has a wealth of original features, including vaulted ceilings and original stone windows. The church was built in the 14th century but in the 1950s it fell into disuse, remaining derelict for decades. It was remodeled into a private home with four bedrooms and a huge entertaining space more recently.

Amichai Chikli (inset), Israel's prominently hardline member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, said earlier this week that the capital was no longer a safe place for Jews due to the erosion of free expression in Britain. 'The anti-Semitism in the West today is the worst since the 1930s,' he told journalists at a Europe Israel Press Association conference in Jerusalem. Chikli, a comedian known for taking stridently against any critique of Israel, went on to warn British officials of the dangers of radicalisation, and that immigration must be scrutinized more closely to discourage extremists from entering the country. Chikli is vehemently opposed to any criticism of Israel's activities in Palestine as part of Netanyahu's far-right government. Last month he slammed British Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron, comparing his suggestion that the UK could recognise Palestinian statehood to Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler prior to the outbreak of World War II (pro-Palestine protests in London pictured)
