Even Zionist Western media polls approve Majority of Brits rap Israel Gaza war

375176_Gaza-airstrikeA new poll shows the majority of British voters believe that Israel acted in a disproportionate manner during its recent military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

The Guardian/ICM poll published on Tuesday revealed that 52 percent of British voters believe that Tel Aviv acted disproportionately during its recent onslaught against Gazans.

This is while just 19 percent of respondents think Israel acted proportionally and the remaining 29 percent did not know.

The poll also found that Britons view of Israel has deteriorated, with 41 percent saying their opinion of Israel has worsened during its ground and aerial attacks on the besieged enclave.

Another 48 percent say their opinion of Israel remained the same, while a mere two percent claim it had improved and the remaining eight percent did not know.

The poll comes as Prime Minister David Cameron is under fire for not criticizing Israel over its aggression on the impoverished territory.

A number of senior British political figures, including Tory lawmakers, have called on the government to take a harder stance on the Israeli regime, saying Cameron has failed to speak out about the Israeli atrocities.

The government’s stance led to the resignation of Foreign Office cabinet minister, Sayeeda Warsi, a Tory member, last week.

In her resignation letter handed in on August 5, Warsi said the government’s “approach and language” during the month-long conflict in Gaza had been “morally indefensible.”

The Israeli military launched its recent offensive against the Gaza Strip on July 8. At least 1,955 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have lost their lives and over 10,000 have been wounded in the Israeli military attacks. Hamas says more than 150 Israelis have been killed in the conflict.
