The fact is that a phoney state was set up based on British pragmatism and a religious belief that cannot be proven. 'God promised the land to us'! Who is 'God'? I don't believe in the destruction of any people but the State of Israel is phoney and the modern State of Israel is behaving worse that Nazi Germany. UN soldiers, hospitals, Red Cross ambulances ... nothing matters except the destruction of anything and anyone in Lebanon which is perceived to be a threat to Israel's existance. They ignore UN Resolutions which they don't like and insist on the ones that suits them and know that the USA will back them because this is a Western foot in the Middle East ... money and oil.
Britain knew it couldn't beat the IRA militarily and there is no great benefit to Britain by keeping it's hold on Northen Ireland. The Tory government needed the majority provied by Northern Ireland but not the present Labout government .. they need Scotland.
