And the UK officially refused to regard Hamas and Hizbollah as terrorist organizations despite President Bush's request that they do so. But that's no surprise from a country that turned the Mandate for the Jewish homeland into a war against the Jews. ...which war the Jews won.
Britain was a haven for the Jews; Oliver Cromwell historically was one of the Jewish community's chief defenders. Benjamin Disraeli, of Jewish heritage, was Prime Minister in the 19th century. Our present Tory leader is also Jewish. You would think that an anti-Semitic country wouldn't allow Jews to permeate into its public life so deeply - but they are part of the immigrant community that has added to Britain, and to its history. That is the real legacy. Your spurious attempts to prove anti-Semitism are pointless, stupid and ignorant. And furthermore, it all is in aid of the following idea: you want to legitimise hating Britain, on the basis of Britain's supposed hatred for the Jews.
That kind of hate filled stupidity is so rancid, its stench reaches across the Atlantic. But mark my words - British troops are fighting and dying alongside Americans, and have done so in Afghanistan as well as in Iraq. The only real threat to this alliance comes from people such as yourself, who promote the Left's contention that the Americans regard us as lesser human beings becuase we don't live up to "American standards of perfection" with every stupid thing you say.

And the US used to refuse to extradite IRA terrorists back to the UK or ROI. And many Americans used to regard the IRA as legitimate groups worth supporting. So don’t lecture us on ‘support’ for terrorism or inaction on terrorism.
As to Palestine, how odd that you ignore that the Stern and Irgun gangs were terrorists who murdered not only British soldiers, but innocent civilians, inc their own people. Including the torture and murder of two British soldiers and the assassination of Jews who supported the British. I assume you are aware that many Jews HELPED the British hunt down the two murderous gangs and great men like Ben Gurion told Jews to help the British stop the Irgun and Stern.
I will assume you DONT know that in 1941 Abraham Stern actually meant with Nazi agents to agree a deal whereby he would attack the British in Palestine in return for a Jewish homeland in Palestine if the Nazis won the war. Think I am making it up?. Check.
And what did America ever do the for the Jews?. It was the British who wrote the Balfour Declaration and gave the Jews their first homeland. All America did for Jews was refuse them entry in 1938-39 whilst the UK took in tens of thousands of Jewish children and refugees. Anne Frank would be alive today if the US hadn’t refused her family’a application.
