Between 1945-48, 784 British men, women, soldiers and civilians, who were trying to bring peace to British Mandatory Palestine (the area which today is comprised of modern day Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza), were killed. The vast majority of them were killed by Jewish Terrorist groups (Irgun, Lehi [Stern Gang], Haganah) whose leaders went on to found Israel in 1948. They did this to force the British to leave.

During this time, these same groups killed several thousand Palestinians.

Since then, Israel has continued to kill native Palestinians in their 10,000's to force them to leave, just like they forced the British to leave.

What we see today in Gaza is just the latest and most bloody episode of Israel's ultimate goal of controlling the whole area comprising its Internationally recognised borders, along with the Palestinian Territories, and beyond (Golan Heights in Syria along with the newly occupied demilitarised zone beyond the Golan Heights), forming the "Greater Israel" they believe that Abraham was "promised by God" in the Torah/Bible (see pictured badge on Israeli Defence Forces uniform).

Israel is very proud of the men, and in some cases women, who attacked and killed British Servicemen and Civilians, since it forced the British to leave, and many Israeli's see the killing of Palestinians in very much the same way. 

They will continue doing so until they are stopped, and it is our duty, as British Citizens and Citizens of what we proclaim to be the "civilised world" to stop them, using the legal systems we have built (International Courts, Sanctions, etc.). It is critical we do this to prove that terrorism, which some Palestinians have resorted to, as well as terrorism used by Israel to ethnically cleanse and commit genocide against the Palestinians, is not the answer. 

If we fail to do this, terrorism will prevail on both sides, which will not only make the Middle East more dangerous, but the whole World, including the UK and beyond.
