@skydancer quite surprized that you'd quote an article penned by Benny Morris.. The article was interesting.. Benny is a bit silent on the role of antisemtism in the Balfour Declaration and overstates (as to be expected from him) the Revisionists.. but in all.. the new Benny Morris is always worth a read..

For an Israeli, Benny Morris isn't rabidly right wing. He admits, almost begrudgingly that the Palestinians have been mistreated. The context of that piece tries to explains why the West backs Israel and probably will continue to do so despite the atrocities the IDF is inflicting on Gazan civilians.
However regardless of history, Britain and American arms companies want to keep selling more arms, they control politicians, so it's they who call the shots (pun intended)
