When Israel snaps its fingers British ministers jump

Stuart Littlewood comments on the latest display of arrogance by suspected Israeli war criminals who insist on being allowed into the UK without fear of prosecution, and on the cowardice of British ministers, including Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who say they will change the law to accommodate Israeli war crimes suspects.

” What is absurd is that murderous Israelis, with the stench of mega-deaths on them, expect to be let into the UK...

”Israel itself was happy to use ‘universal jurisdiction’ to try Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961. The principle, let us remember, is that there can be no hiding place for those accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, extrajudicial executions, war crimes, torture and forced disappearances...

“The British public’s message to Israel meanwhile is simple. If you must come here, make sure your hands are clean. War criminals are not welcome.”

While the Viva Palestina convoy drama was being played out, a delegation of senior Israeli military officers cancelled a planned visit to the UK for fear of being arrested over alleged war crimes in Gaza.

With the insufferable arrogance we have come to expect from Israelis, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon demanded from Britain's attorney-general, Baroness Scotland, an immediate solution to the "intolerable" situation.

"If the British law remains unchanged, this would undermine the good relations between the two countries who share common values and interests. The British must bear in mind that these visits serve both countries,” Ayalon is reported as saying.

"This legislation is often misused," he added. "It initially targeted Nazi criminals, but terrorist organizations like Hamas are today using it to take democracies hostage. We have to put an end to this absurdity...”

That is typical Israeli “crapaganda”. Britain does not share Israel’s racist and criminal values. In fact, we have nothing in common worth mentioning. And of course Hamas is no more a terrorist organization than the Israeli regime itself.

What is absurd is that murderous Israelis, with the stench of mega-deaths on them, expect to be let into the UK. More
