AUGUST 25, 2015 : AFP

Almost 80,000 people had by Monday signed a petition urging the
arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes
when he visits London next month.
The petition was launched earlier this month by British citizen
Damian Moran and is posted on the government’s website.

“Under international law he (Netanyahu) should be arrested for war
crimes upon arrival in the UK for the massacre of over 2,000
civilians in 2014,” Moran said, referring to the 51-day offensive by
Israeli forces in Gaza last year.
If the number of signatories reaches 100,000, the petition can be
considered for debate in Britain’s parliament.


But Moran told media he doubted it would reach the chamber given
the close relationship between Israel and Britain.
The British government was obliged to respond after the document
received 10,000 signatories, saying that “visiting heads of foreign
governments, such as prime minister Netanyahu, have immunity from
legal process, and cannot be arrested or detained”.
“We recognise that the conflict in Gaza last year took a terrible
toll,” it added.

“As the prime minister (David Cameron) said, we were all deeply
saddened by the violence and the UK has been at the forefront of
international reconstruction efforts.
“However the prime minister was clear on the UK’s recognition of
Israel’s right to take proportionate action to defend itself, within the
boundaries of international humanitarian law.”

Britain is pushing for a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict and “will reinforce this message to Mr
Netanyahu during his visit” in September, according to the response.
Any British citizen can launch a petition on the government’s
website, asking for a specific action from the government or
parliament’s lower House of Commons.
Only British citizens are meant to sign the petitions, but need only
enter a name, email address and valid postcode.

Israel launched military action in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on
July 8 last year, leading to the deaths of more than 2,000
Palestinians and 66 Israeli soldiers.
Pro-Palestinian British lawyers unsuccessfully tried to arrest former
Israeli justice minister Tzipi Livni following the 2008-2009 Gaza
war.
Israel’s embassy in London called the latest petition a “meaningless
publicity stunt.”

This food taste sour: no source

You can read it on Al Jazeera.... I've read it since yesterday.

If it's a Muslim leader that is doing what Nantanyau is doing to Palestinians, you would have been shouting "arrest that terrorist "*# hypocrites #

Lucky buggers. If the public ever suggested anything like this in my neck of the woods, we would have been branded Anti-Semites in a split second and the media would have had their fun digging up stories from Holocaust survivors.

Just a waste of time. He can never be arrested by anyone from the West, because Some "animals are more equal than others".

“However the prime minister was clear on the
UK’s recognition of
Israel’s right to take proportionate action to
defend itself, within the
boundaries of international humanitarian law.”.

that answer by the prime minister says it all.
A president like that of Israel can never, I repeat can never be arrested by a country like US or UK.
come to think of it, during the war on Gaza strip, do you think Israel just decide to launch that attack for fun?, they launched it with the full backing of the western nation.

Arrested for what?,




If there is one thing I have learnt in life,


It is to choose my battles wisely,



Hamas fires rockets into Israel and when Israel responds ,



The begin shouting war crime,




I was listening to a BBC radio program last week, when the sister of a Palestinian girl who bombed an Israeli train station few years ago , killing two policemen who blocked her and injuring about 16 people, was interviewed, and she was saying that her sister was a martyr, and that people in their village now see her sister as a hero,


And I was like, for people with such mentality, Why won't the Israelis do all the can to protect themselves?
