My desire to visit the US just went sub zero.

The worst part is this has the possibility to spread to other countries (that the US can twist the arm of) because they want to extend their policies further.

UK is already almost as bad. But UKs political elite is maybe even more pro-Israel than USAs.

It really isn't. The UK government has strongly criticised the Israeli government's actions, and has applied sanctions to some far-right Israeli government ministers:

Performative and meaningless. The UK has been providing direct military support for the Gaza campaign for months now, long after it became obvious what the goals and methods were.

The UK's media have also provided extremely slanted reporting.
