Anshel Pfeffer: Warsi's resignation is a 'bad sign'

Leadeing Haaretz columnist, Anshel Pfeffer has published an article saying that the reignation of UK's Sayeeda Warsi would not lead the UK to change its policy but that it was a "bad sign". 

"The resignation of the senior foreign office minister illustrates how divisive Israel is now in the UK," Pfeffer said. "And the conflict's detrimental influence on Jewish-Muslim relations in Britain.

"But while her departure will probably have no effect on British policy, which has been largely supportive of Israel in recent weeks, it does reflect how divisive support for Israel has become in the British public sphere. It will also stoke the debate on whether Israel should face war crimes charges in the International Criminal Court."
