"Israelis cancel UK visit over risk of war crimes arrest; Gaza policy foes push prosecution" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | January 6, 2010
JERUSALEM - An Israeli military delegation has canceled an official visit to Britain, officials said yesterday, the latest in a string of politicians and army officials to put off travel to the United Kingdom because of fears of war crimes prosecution.
So HOW DOES LIVING in FEAR feel, scum!
One would HOPE that OPENS YOUR EYES since you seem to have no hearts, but.... !!!
Israel complained that the practice, spearheaded by pro-Palestinian activists, is harming relations, and Britain’s visiting attorney general said an urgent solution must be found.
The Israelis called off their trip because their British Army hosts could not guarantee they would not be arrested, the Israeli officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. Neither the Israeli military nor the British government would comment.
The incident underlined the effectiveness of a pro-Palestinian legal campaign to harass Israeli officials following war crimes allegations after Israel’s devastating invasion of Gaza a year ago to stop rocket attacks.
Yeah, ONCE AGAIN it is the POOR, HARASSED, UNDER SIEGE *EW THEME in my paper!
Israelis brand the tactic “lawfare,’’ which they denounce as warfare through distortion of laws and conventions.
Remember, ANYTHING ISRAEL ACCUSES others of is SOMETHING THEY DO THEMSELVES!!
It has crimped the travel plans of many officials and put Israel on the defensive in international bodies.... Britain’s “universal jurisdiction’’ law that allows prosecution of war criminals whose crimes have no direct connection with Britain. Britain is one of the pioneers of the universal jurisdiction concept, but the British government is concerned that its application to Israel is badly straining relations between the countries and has vowed to solve the problem.
Translation: Another Country Under Zionist Control
Yeah, allow the WAR CRIMINAL Zionists to SHATTER your STELLAR LEGAL SYSTEM and reduce it to RUBBLE!
Visiting Attorney General Patricia Janet Scotland of Britain heard a stiff protest yesterday from Danny Ayalon, the deputy Israeli foreign minister, who called the situation intolerable.
Now kiss our asses!
Later yesterday, in a speech at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, she noted that the British government “is looking urgently at ways in which the UK system might be changed to avoid this situation arising again and is determined that Israel’s leaders should always be able to travel freely to the UK.’’
Yeah, it is JUST the REST OF US who have to be MOLESTED, SCANNED, TRACKED, and TRACED (except for bumbling fool patsy 'terrorists)!!
And the GAZANS ABILITY to MOVE FREELY?
In Britain, pro-Palestinian groups have condemned moves to alter the law.
“We believe no attempt should be made’’ to change the law, said Inayat Bunglawala, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain. “There’s no reason why Israel should be singled out for special treatment. If they’re accused of war crimes, we have a duty - and legislation - to prosecute.’’

Yeah, it SURE is LOOKING LIKE IT, isn't it?
Just another globalist tool of the Zionist overlords.
Israelis charge that the Palestinian use of the universal jurisdiction law is a distortion of its original intention - to prosecute war criminals whose own justice systems were incapable or unwilling to investigate their deeds. Though it has not satisfied international rights groups, Israel’s military has investigated its own activities in the Gaza war and says it is still looking into a handful of cases.
Yeah, the murderer investigated his own murder -- and found nothing!
PFFFFFFTT!!
Israeli analysts charge that other examples of “lawfare’’ are condemnations by human rights groups and the UN of Israeli actions against Palestinian militants, especially last winter’s military operation in Gaza that left about 1,400 Palestinians dead, including many civilians, and caused widespread destruction.
Yeah, you CAN'T EVEN CRITICIZE ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES!!
That is the "FREE" WEST?
And notice how the WAR CRIMES are just GLOSSED OVER in PASSING?
Last month, pro-Palestinian activists persuaded a London judge to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli politician Tzipi Livni, who was foreign minister during the war in Gaza. The warrant was withdrawn after Livni canceled her trip, but the matter strained relations between Britain and Israel. The threat of arrest has forced several former security officials to call off trips to London, including a former general who had to remain aboard an airplane at Heathrow Airport in 2005 to avoid arrest.
If American Justice had any balls they would slap the cuffs on some of these f***s when they get off the Israeli airliners (that never seems to suffer any 'security breach')

"Israel OK’s building in disputed area" by Associated Press | January 6, 2010
JERUSALEM - Israel has approved construction of four new apartment buildings in disputed East Jerusalem, officials said yesterday, fueling tensions with the Palestinians at a time the United States is laboring to get peace talks moving again....
The 24-unit project is being developed in an Arab neighborhood by Irving Moskowitz, an American Jew who has generously funded Jewish settlers, who are determined to cement Israel’s hold on contested areas of the Holy City.
Who is Irving Moskowitz?
"Historically then, Israel's policy has been to cleanse the land of Arab presence.... Enter right wing Zionist Irving Moskowitz. More of Moskowitz's millions made off of the elderly in Florida bingo halls will go to settling... Jews."

Well, SO MUCH for ANY "PEACE" talk, huh?
In another development, Palestinians symbolically burned a large pile of products made in Jewish settlements after declaring a boycott last month.
Oh, like the ZETTLERS BURN DOWN THEIR OLIVE FIELDS?
Yeah, poor *EWS again!
After throwing a carton on the fire, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said he was “determined to clean the Palestinian marketplace from settler products.’’
You get the CLEANSING reference and INSULT, right, readers?
Leave it to the Zionist MSM to FLIP THINGS UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN!
