Crap.. most brits support Israel..uk is the country that created Israel..
Disraeli (British PM) was instrumental very early in the creation of Israel. But that doesn't mean today most Brits support Israel. In fact I see the opposite.
Benjamin Disraeli and "Sir Moses" Montefiore were 2 more mighty men who were intimately involved in colonizing Palestine with British Empire Jews.
Disraeli served as prime minister of Great Britain twice and conferred to the Queen of England, the title "Empress of India". Pandering, I guess, but the Queen took it in.
In 1875, while serving as prime minister, Disraeli engineered the financial coup that transferred ownership of the Suez Canal from its builder, Ferdinand de Lesseps, to the British Empire.
In 1876, Disraeli rammed a bill through Parliament that gave his lover Queen Victoria the flattering title "Empress of India."
So influential was Disraeli in creating the Jewish state that the inmates of this new state now call themselves "Israelis" after Disraeli.
It is beyond belief but the New Jerusalem helped the British Empire create a homeland for Israelis.
In April 1917, President Woodrow Wolfson declared war on " Kaiser Wilhelm," and thousands of U.S. solders were immediately mobilized and sent to France.
That enabled the British Empire to withdraw soldiers from France and redeploy them to the Mideast.
As long as the Turks controlled Palestine there was little chance of British hegemony in the Mideast.
That is why "Mr. British Empire"
Lord Kitchener of Khartoum unleashed the dogs of war in August 1914 against the Turks.
Even though Britannia conquered Old Jerusalem, World War I was only a partial victory for the Empire. France was not defeated and the war almost bankrupted the country.
After the Turks were evicted, a British Mandate was established in Palestine, which lasted until 1948.
