Witch Hunt or Not?
Published in Bikya Masr on 21 - 12 - 2009

The Israeli government is threatening the British government with sanctions if it pursues it's legal right to ask that Palestinian or Israeli origin to be stamped on exported Israeli produce. Should they not be ever grateful to Britain instead, for allowing the very creation of this rogue state within the land of Palestine, and not be biting the very hand that brought it into creation.
This coming after the British Foreign Secretary David Milliband and the UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, sickened the British public by his humiliating jaw dropingly sycophantic, unctious, boot licking, groveling apology to an ex-government accused of war crimes, ensuring the likes of Tzipi Livni the orchestrator of white phosphorus and missile dropping on not only the innocent civilians of Gaza, but UN designated buildings, schools and UN humanitarian aid food warehouses, safe and welcoming passage and hosting on British soil. Not only that but they will also try their damnest to change the law in an effort to ensure that suspected War Criminals are welcome to come and go as they please, even if they are not members of the current government.
Do the Israeli's in their deluded fantasy of perpetual victim, really hope to convince the British public, and to all intents and purposes the rest of the world that the British System, which is considered as one of the most fair and just and a benchmark for judiciary across the world, that it can be ‘adjusted' to entertain the likes of War Criminals and ignore International Jurisdiction, of which was so readily and eagerly used to it's fullest force in prosecuting Nazi war criminals after the world war.
Thankfully the British Law system is independent of the British Government and I would doubt that it could be so easily swayed in favor of breaching internationally accepted law and reneging on UN treaty regulations in the hope of keeping the Israeli's ‘sweet'.
It seems that the British government like it's partner the US Administration, is complicit in defying not only the findings of the highly respected Jewish Zionist with a daughter an Israeli settler Judge Goldstone's report of War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity, but the findings of a host of other independent groups findings post Gaza War, including Physicians for Human Rights, Amnesty International, the Martin Commission report to the UN secretary-general Ban Ki Moon on attacks on UN premises within Gaza.
The combined evidence obviously compelling enough to convince the London judge to issue a warrant for Livni's arrest should she touch down on British Soil.
Hamas yesterday reported to the Associated Press that they have formed a committee to assist European lawyers representing Palestinian rights, and will furnish them with documentary evidence to support any warrant they may wish to take out on visiting suspected war criminals like Livni, Leiberman, and others like them who defy International Law and Breaches of Human Rights.
Truth be known that Livni's visit which was canceled was not as the Israeli government trying to convince us a diplomatic one involving peace negotiations with the Prime Minister Gordon Brown. In fact it was a ‘private' visit as Livni is no longer a member of the current Israeli regime, and it was to attend the Jewish National Fund Conference. The same JNF established by the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl.
So let us hope that the British Judiciary does not bow to Israeli threats and upholds it's long tradition of ‘Justice for All'.
If the previous Israeli government is convinced they have not committed no War Crimes then let them come and be tried by probably the fairest and most respected Judiciary in the world namely the British and let them decide.
I suspect you will not see that day and no Israeli soldier or diplomat will take that chance and visit Britain in the future if they have been named as suspects.
I'd advise the British Government to stop it's fawning support for these criminals in the name of the British public and instead read up on the UN Human Rights Charter, and also pay particular attention to
Article 146 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, where by law Britain still has an obligation to “to search for persons alleged to have committed, or to have ordered to be committed, such grave breaches, and shall bring such persons, regardless of their nationality, before its own courts”. No one should feel they are exempt from war crime allegations.
