There again some people are never happy.
It has nothing to do with being happy, and all to do with understanding history. If history was irrelevant then why in 1982 did we spend £2 Billion on defending the Falklands?
When people (as Britain did back in 1917) realise that standing with Israel (their people) is the wisest thing any government can do, then the whole equation changes. Yet like marmite, people will hate or love them.

Your stance is evident.
