'Miliband: "... arrest warrant is insufferable ... & Britain would no longer tolerate legal harassment of Israeli officials.."
In the WSJ, here"Israel reacted angrily Tuesday to an arrest warrant issued by a local British court for opposition leader Tzipi Livni, threatening to reduce London's role in Mideast peace talks...Israel called for "immediate" action from the U.K. to block plaintiffs from using the British legal system to put its leaders on trial for actions in the Palestinian territories. Ms. Livni is the fourth senior Israeli official since 2004 that pro-Palestinian activists have sought to detain using British courts.....Israeli officials threatened to boycott any further British role in that dialogue. "If Israeli leaders cannot visit Britain in a proper, dignified fashion, this will, quite naturally, seriously compromise Britain's ability to play the active role in the Middle East peace process that it desires,'' the Foreign Ministry said in its statement..........Livni was part of the troika of Israeli ministers who oversaw Operation "Cast Lead," the military offensive in Gaza. Israel said the action was in response to repeated militant rocket fire against southern Israel. More than 1,000 Palestinians died in the operation..."

So the Brits want to change their legal system to accomodate the terrorist state! So much for vaunting the rule of law in so-called democracies. Already the UK has lost credibility in the sorry business of bribery in the Yamama transaction. Raison d'Etat they say. On the other hand, one should not be surprised by the duplicity of the Brits. They did promise a land that did not belong to them to people who were not there in the first place. Second they facilitated the establishment of the Zionist entity to 'atone' for their sins of oblivion toward the Jews amd to cause further aggravation to Arabs. British officials who align themselves with the rogue state of Israel should also be pursued for complicity in war crimes.
