Actually, it is much worse than that. If you check out what the British did in Palestine before Israel became a nation... it is atrocious!
For example, they would disarm the Jews, but would do nothing to the Arabs displaying weapons.
Or after the Arabs would ambush and massacre some jewish town or neighborhood, they would restrain the Jews, but do nothing to discourage the Arabs...
ummm... how come this history sounds so familiar? In any case, what the Brits and the rest of the EUroweinies are doing now is nothing new... it seems the Arabs have just given them a good excuse to let them fondly remember the "good old days" of Europe!
