It's hard to make Britain into some sort of hero here. They could have vetoed the Screw Israel resolution just as much as the U.S. could have. Not only did they not veto it, they voted for it. Condemning anti-Netanyahu rhetoric after the fact does nothing to reverse that singular act of destruction. But maybe the Brits thought - however misguidedly - that the resolution would serve as some sort of nudge toward a peaceful solution, and they never had any interest in rhetorically piling on Netanyahu like Kerry decided to do on Wednesday.
