So what countries are helpful? In the scheme of things, modern Britain can’t be that high in the list of “enemies”. 

It is not the worst but being an allegedly civilized nation it is held to a higher standard than Russians and Iranians

At least not so high on the list, to justify some of the excessive hatred that seems to exist on this thread.

Because Britain could be so much better when I look at their great history. Instead they are spoiled and lazy and tilt towards Islam. The Great Britain that once had an empire sits back and allows its former Muslim subjects to invade her. Socialism has turned their minds into mush

Based on this comment, I wouldn't classify your view has "hatred" but rather one of disappointment. You could say much about the USA though. We have become spoiled and lazy and we allow ourselves to be invaded by our neighbors to the South.

But like the Brits, most Americans don't hate Israel or the Jews even if we have not been the most helpful lately. How does that quote go? "Never assume malice, when incompetence would explain it".

I don't believe the British in general are genuinely anti-semetic. I've been there enough and experienced none of it. And to anti-semites (and under Hitler's method), I would be considered a Jew.

Obviously, they have their knuckleheads and politicians who have agendas. But again, this is no different than what occurs in Israel. You have knuckleheads and self serving politicians too. Recognizing that should not lead to a general dislike for a people or country, or a labeling them all as being anti-whatever... as Peres has done. He was wrong. It was driven by personal emotional involvement and understandable, but still wrong.
