Have a read of this article. It clearly shows where Britain's loyalties lie:

"In a short debate in the House of Lords - the UK Parliament's second chamber - to mark the 95th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, independent peer Baroness Tonge said the Palestinians had been "totally betrayed" by successive British governments.
The 1917 Declaration, in the form of a letter by the then foreign secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, is regarded as the first significant assertion by a world power of their support for a Jewish "national home" in what was then known as Palestine.
Baroness Tonge, a frequent critic of Israel who quit the Lib Dems earlier this year, added: "By making our government's support for the UN bid conditional on Palestine not pursuing Israel through the ICC, is the government not admitting Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank and is seeking impunity for that country?"
