Good answer!

The problem for me is that it not worrying about Israel or supporting Israel,
but,
the fact is they are a democracy that has been our ally and maintains solid relations and isn't likely to pose any threat.
So we have to stand by our allies.

I'm not sure that means we give them all our money and defend anything and everything they do.
I don't know that means we even have to enjoy them,
but,
At least they are allies and the 'other guys' in this would be just as determined putting the UK under Islamic Law as they would like to see Israel nuked.

I dunno.. It does feel a little like the post-Crusade era where we all just start wondering if its worth the bother trying to defend some 'outpost' in the Middle-East at all costs when we have enough problems of our own.

Well.. not much of an answer here. I guess I can say I 'see what he is saying' in a sense.
