If Britain were Gaza... 26,000 dead

Gaza has a population 1.5 million. Israel has slaughtered 650 Palestinians and injured 3000 more in the last eleven days. A proportionately similar death toll in Britain, with a population of 60 million, would be 26,000 dead and 120,000 injured. If Britain was Gaza, Israel would be condemned by the whole world for monstrous crimes against humanity and forced to stop the carnage. The mealy mouthed statements by governments so far are pitiful. Israel is only able to act in this barbaric manner because of the support it gets from governments who habitually turn a blind eye to its war crimes.
