    Kind of rich to see Mike Huckabee accusing the UK of somehow being weak in
    its decision to recognize a Palestinian state <https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yp78gd636o>, by saying it would have
    lost World War II if Starmer had been in Churchill’s place.

    Remember, his was a country that didn’t want to get involved in that war,
    and was quite happy to continue friendly diplomatic relations with the murderous Nazi regime, while Britain basically stood alone for about two
    years against the threat of a German invasion.

    So yes, history does repeat itself in a way, but perhaps the parallel
    takes a form that ole Hucky might not like ...
