Britain and Israel

You left out Britain. Why? I see that the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn is in a crisis over Antisemitism. At the core of which is the issue of whether the notion included anti-Zionism and anti-Israel sentiments, views, and speech. I see here the (natural) effort of the Left-inclined Labour party to support all Muslims,including its recent Muslim immigrants as the basis of the current Labour crisis.

Regarding Israel, I wonder how aware Europeans are that the Palestinians are merely or primarily Muslims of another name or location. Will this result in sympathy for the cause of Israel, Zionism, and the Jewish people? Hard to say; I don't see much Hasbara explaining that Israel faces the same anti-Civilizational issues as Europe does, especially in the case of the Palestinians in Gaza, and the UNWRA Refuges now without funds of Uncle Sam = Donald Trump.
