What I find interesting about that list is that an anti-war stance is on the same list as an anti-Palestinian stance:

Though by no means universal, the tendency in my country is for those who were opposed to the war to be also sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, and perceive Israel's actions to be the main source of aggression in that region.
The Middle East conflict is viewed very differently in Britain, to the way it is viewed in the States. There are those who are absolutely on Israel's side, and those who are on Palestines, there are those who see blame on both sides. But the majority view, I think, is that whilst it is never acceptable to send suicide bombers onto schoolbuses, it is also never alright to inflict collective punishment, or illegally occupy another people's country. Israel is seen by most, I think, as an illegal occupier and a fairly brutal one at that.
