For God's sake, what a bunch of Jew-hating scum they are.
From RT:
Israel is one of the most disliked nations in the world among Britons, following a surge in anti-Israeli sentiment in 2014. The country is viewed so unfavorably by UK citizens that even Iran, a nation known for its brutal suppression of protests, is not disliked as much.
North Korea topped the list as the most reviled nation outside Europe in the survey conducted by think tank Chatham House on British attitudes towards other countries. Published in a report, ‘Internationalism or Isolationism?
British attitudes towards the UK’s international priorities,’ the survey probes British views of other countries, as well as the UK’s role in international affairs.
Conducted in August 2014, the survey is likely to have been influenced by Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, launched July 8. Widely reported by world media, the conflict resulted in the deaths of an estimated 2,192 Palestinians and 6 Israelis, according to UN figures.
Israel’s popularity dropped significantly in the survey, with 35 percent of respondents saying they felt “especially unfavorable” towards the country, compared to 17 percent expressing the same sentiment in June 2012. Iran meanwhile fared marginally better than Israel, with 33 percent of Britons feeling “especially unfavorable” to the republic compared to 45 percent – the highest figure at the time – feeling the same way in 2012.

Earlier this week, HBO resurrected The Holocaust documentary "Night will Fall" [review]: the Hitchcock film they didn’t want you to see via TheSpectator.
At this video link, filmmakers of "Night will fall" discuss the issues which kept this documentary shelved for decades.
At the 22 minute mark, the three filmmaker panelists give their understanding of why this documentary was not released 70 years ago.
Officially, in Aug. 1945, the UK govt decided it was not a good time to throw guilt at the Germans as they were tasked with rebuilding and simultaneously dealing with their new enemy, the Soviet Union.
Listen closely as the second reason given for shelving this documentary was to protect Palestine/Palestinians.
Once Churchill was booted out of office July 16th 1945, Attlee and his new foreign minister, Bevin were virulent anti-Zionists who did not want to evoke more sympathy for the surviving Jews of the Concentration Camps who wanted to go to Palestine.
One of the female filmmakers specifically points out the innate antisemitism of British government and British culture of that time.
Things haven't changed much then, have they?
I hate that my country is so deluded.

For the record, Big Noid, my parents are from England, and still live there.
