"Britain has never been a friend of Israel"

 

Typical Zionist or Zionist apologist reductionism. Or in plain English: paranoia…

 

If only it were true though. Israel really has one of the most loyal allies in form of the British Government. Apart paying a little lip service to the 'Peace Process' (that's DEFINITELY anti-Zionist!), HMGs have supported Israel's wars on Lebanon and Gaza really without as much as a whimper. It supports the siege in Gaza. The BBC can't even be bothered reporting on the troubles of the Free Gaza March and the Viva Palestina! convoy, at least not on telly.
