Britain's Anti-Arab Bias

Another Zionist-occupied government.

"Israel suspends special talks with UK" by Associated Press / November 4, 2010

JERUSALEM — Israel suspended a special strategic dialogue with London for as long as Israeli officials visiting Britain face possible arrest for suspected war crimes against Palestinians, officials said yesterday.

The announcement came as William Hague, the British foreign secretary, met with senior Israeli officials in Jerusalem. Officials from both countries said the matter would be high on the meeting’s agenda, and the British Foreign Office said it was working to resolve the matter....  

Okay, so the ISRAELI WAR CRIMINALS are getting the law CHANGED for them.

A number of Israeli officials have been threatened with possible prosecution in Britain under the law of “universal jurisdiction,’’ which contends that crimes against humanity are so egregious that they can be prosecuted even if they were not committed in the United Kingdom.

You know, like the dropping of weapons of mass destruction in that concentration camp called Gaza.

British courts have issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials, and though no one has been arrested, the repeated attempts to prosecute them have strained ties between the two countries.

But it's okay to toss innocent Muslims in jail and torture them.

The two countries announced the special strategic dialogue two years ago to boost relations and cooperation on security and diplomatic issues, but Israel put the sessions on hold after Tzipi Livni, the former foreign minister, canceled a trip to London for fear of arrest earlier this year.

If she feared arrest she must be guilty, right?

Now compare and contrast:

"Saudi prince convicted of murder in London" by Associated Press / October 20, 2010

LONDON — A Saudi prince was convicted yesterday in the death of one of his servants in a frenzied attack in a hotel....

The Israelis killed all those people and nothing, yet the Arab.... oh, never mind.  

The grisly details

"Saudi prince gets at least 20 years in slaying" by Associated Press / October 21, 2010

LONDON — A British court sentenced a Saudi prince to at least 20 years in prison yesterday for beating and strangling one of his servants at a swank British hotel in a case that featured days of lurid testimony about their abusive relationship....

The sensational case featured video images of the shaven-headed prince throwing a punch at his aide in a hotel elevator — the set piece in a prosecution case that accused the suave playboy prince of battering his lover in a rage.

No one in this country is above the law,’’ Bean said. “It would be wrong for me to sentence you either more severely or more leniently because of your membership of the Saudi royal family.’’  

But if you are a war-criminal member of the Israeli government we will change the law for you!

Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw described a flamboyant lifestyle with a dashing prince who lived the luxury life — dining in fine restaurants and receiving erotic massages.

The prince’s lawyers attempted before the trial to stop evidence of his homosexuality from being made public. 

I didn't need to know this.

“Beneath the surface this was a deeply abusive relationship which the defendant exploited for sadistic reasons, for his own personal gratification,’’ Laidlaw said. He described the assault leading to the aide’s death as being “a really terrible, a really brutal attack.’’  

And what Israel did to Gaza?
