UK people, what's the thing preventing your government from stopping this?

Here in the US we have the corrupting influence of AIPAC, a doomsday cult that thinks Israel will trigger the rapture (Jesus wouldn't mind just a little genocide, as a treat) and the massive Israeli social media influence operation.

I'm just not familiar with your politics to understand how influence is done there.
