@l-uk3xm Britain abstained from the UN vote in 1948 when the nations of the world were deciding to recognise the State of Israel (after the Arabs had refused their's in the UN Partition Plan of 1947, and every offer of peace ever since). The only time Britain showed favour to the Jews having a homeland in Palestine, with the proviso that it would not affect the existing peoples already living there, was in the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
Since then they have been ambiguous about Israel, and even the British State Broadcaster refers to Tel-Aviv as Israel's capital, not Jerusalem, and thus the British Embassy in there, not in the country's capital, which would be like France having their Embassy in Birmingham and not London. Britain has consistently sat on the fence when it comes to Israel, ever since they started appeasing the Arabs in the 1930's onwards due to their stakes in oil etc., whilst stopping Jewish immigration to the Holy Land, despite their historical Biblical links, in the British White Paper for Palestine in 1939. They have been biased towards the Arabs ever since, despite the Jews. 😒
With Her Majesty the Queen being some 70 years on the throne, yet the Foreign Office never permitted her a visit to the Land of the Bible, even as a pilgrimage as Head of the Church of England. Thus the power of politics and bias can even outstrip even the will of monarchy. 👑
Britain is at best a fairweather friend to Israel and every Israeli knows it all too well. 🙃🤯
