Margot James - previously regarded as a pro-Israeli voice - has condemned its "wholly disproportionate" attacks. And former minister Sir Peter Bottomley has written to Chief Whip Michael Gove to protest against Israel's actions. Mr Hammond's aides said the government believed there had to be an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza. MPs are on their long summer break, but the BBC News channel's chief political correspondent Norman Smith said it was clear there was growing disquiet among backbenchers.[/quote]

First the US gets angry, now the British (pro-Israelis) are as well. I think that should send a message to Israel. You know, that people are seeing through their bullshit.

It'll take time for the west to be ready to do something substantial against Israel and that leaves them a window of opportunity to finish up what they're doing.

The whole situation is messed up. Israel have done some horrible stuff, but Hamas are only shelling them to start international condemnation against Israel. That's not a military campaign, it's purely political.
