I have limited time for Baroness Warsi, but her disgust over George Osborne's failure to use his close ties with Israel to even attempt to use them to stop some of this killing is well placed! Seems the UK government likes a bit of Muslim bashing like much of its indigenous population!

And it's not even like the Palestinians are pure innocents in this conflict, which is seemingly intractable and carries blame on both sides.
