I don't think the British carry a historical consciousness either.
I never believed that Israel had the right to exist at all.
Everyone who supports Israel is a Zionist.
I think attacks on civilians in fact boost morale.
Hitler bombed London into submission but in fact it created a sense of national solidarity.
In my view the European culture carries a very heavy responsibility for the creation of Israel... it is a product of both British and Stalin's anti- Semitism, but the British never faced their own complicity in its construction.
