Petition to arrest Netanyahu gains momentum in UK by Nobody: 3:48pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
London, United Kingdom - An online petition urging the arrest of Israel's prime minister for alleged war crimes over the 2014 Gaza assault is on course to hit the 100,000 signatures needed to have it debated in the UK parliament. "I honestly don't expect him to get arrested because of the universal jurisdiction laws," said Damian Moran, who created the petition in response to Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement he would visit the United Kingdom in September. "It is a clear message to him that there's a massive amount of people who don't want him here." Published on August 7, the petition has already gathered more than 76,000 supporters, well past the 10,000 required to get a formal government response. Petitions that pass the 100,000 mark are considered for debate in parliament. Arms deal The main focus of Moran's petition is the 51- day bombardment of Gaza that started in July 2014 and left more than 2,200 Palestinians dead, including 1,492 civilians. In the same conflict, 66 Israeli soldiers and five civilians were killed. "Benjamin Netanyahu is to hold talks in London this September. Under international law he should be arrested for war crimes upon arrival in the UK for the massacre of over 2,000 civilians in 2014," the introduction to the campaign reads. Moran, a Derry-born software developer now living in Manchester, told Al Jazeera he didn't expect anything to come of the campaign, but he wanted to "shine a spotlight" on Israel's military action in Gaza. "Politicians in the UK support Israel, [Prime Minister] David Cameron supports Israel. The British government has made fresh arms deals with Israel and they can't say for sure whether British weapons were used in the assault on Gaza," Moran said. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/08/petition-arrest-netanyahu-gains-momentum-uk-150823071707233.html

Netanyahu is a lifetime HERO of the west and all non muslims world over! The best living guy that can treat all fu-ck ups of Muslims anytime anywhere! Here is a Man that is living large right in the center of Jihadists yet prospering with his people! Only God can do that for his people Israel! Today all Muslim countries are concern to the world. Watch CNN, al-jazeera, BBC all u see are muslims struggling to enter Christian nations taking all life threatening risks. Why are they not heading to Saudi, UAE,Qatar etc? Because Islam and jihad/terrorists have failed humanity. |
