Yes, but the issue you raised by your question demonstrates that Britain -- like any other country -- did and would respond very decisively when it comes under attack. Britain put thousands of troops on the ground in N. Ireland; it fought a no-holds-barred war with the IRA; put a few thousand people into internment camps and tortured them ( as found by the European Commission of Human Rights); was content to have 10 prisoners in HM Maze prison die on hunger strike including an elected Member of Parliament; and introduced direct rule from Westminster.
Any country will respond to threat, Israel is no different yet it is vilified for it.
