You sure have some problems if you are equating anti-Israel UKIP (an actual political party) with the grass-roots Tea Party of the USA. Never mind that Bush was not anything like Cameron, who openly said he wanted to “export gay marriage around the world”.

There's nothing inherently 'anti-Israel' in the UKIP document you provided.

16.4 UKIP fully supports the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state and recognises the despicable anti-Semitism in European history, culminating in the Holocaust. Israel is surrounded by hostile states committed to its destruction. The tiny state has been the frequent victim of rocket attacks and suicide bombings from terrorist groups, almost all deliberately targeting civilians. Israel has every right to respond with proportionate force to these attacks, and a UKIP government would do the same were Britain similarly threatened. UKIP rejects the notion that Israel should be punished through sanctions or cancellation of trade deals (such as the EU-Israel Association Agreement) for defending itself from attack.
