Just to clarify, does the UK support Israel? The last time I heard, everyone in the world wanted an immediate end to hostilities except the USA, who wanted to drag things out as long as possible. I counted that as the UK going in a seperate direction from the USA, and considering how much the UK usually just sucks up, that's a pretty big negative statement in the diplomatic world. (then again, I've been on holiday for the weekend, so things may have changed)
