    Oh but we can. Oh but we will.

    The last bit of sympathy the west had for Muslims vanished after 9/11. The US helped them out as much as it benefited them in Afghanistan against the Russians, and we had a last hurrah for Kosovo when they were being massacred by the Serbs.

    But that’s gone now. You’ve gone from slightly insular neighbours, to terrifying beardy men with hooks for hands who hate our way of life. That’s Bin Laden’s legacy.

    Western support for Israel is far from unanimous, but our indifference to Palestine is. Israel could bomb Gaza to dust and bulldoze it into the sea, and at this point the most you’ll hear from us is a stern “steady on lads”.
