- Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced plans today
to stop the issue of arrest warrants for foreign officials such as Tzipi
Livni, Ehud Barak and other Israeli war criminals who were forced to cancel
planned trips to London after arrest warrants were issued against them.
Under Brown's proposals, the Crown Prosecution Service will take over responsibility
for prosecuting war crimes and other violations of international law. Currently
magistrates have to consider the case for an arrest warrant to be issued.
-
- A warrant for the arrest of Ms Livni was issued by a
UK court in December last year following Israel's massacre in Gaza over
a year ago. She consequently cancelled a planned visit.
-
- Mr Brown wrote in the Daily Telegraph: 'As we have seen,
there is now significant danger of such a provision being exploited by
politically-motivated organisations or individuals who set out only to
grab headlines knowing their case has no realistic chance of a successful
prosecution'.
-
- PM Brown better explain to the nation why arresting a
genocidal war criminal like Livni, Olmert or Barak is a 'politically motivated'
act. He should also explain to us all why is he convinced that a case against
Livni wouldn't stand a chance in court. As far as Justice Goldstone is
concerned, the case against Israel and its leadership is actually watertight.
-
 According
to the Daily Mail, Colin Powell, the former US secretary of state and a
leading player in the Iraq War, has also reportedly expressed alarm about
the prospect of arrest in Britain. Yet, no one in Britain politics rushed
to appease the American politician or to amend British universal jurisdiction
laws just for him. Clearly, Israeli lobby has much more influence within
the British cabinet than the USA. This shouldn't take us by a big surprise
considering our Foreign Secretary David Miliband is a listed 'Israeli Hasbara
(Propaganda) Author'.
-
- Brown admitted that 'There is already growing reason
to believe that some people are not prepared to travel to this country
for fear that such a private arrest warrant - motivated purely by political
gesture - might be sought against them.' Surely this is good news. Criminals
such as Livni or Barak should never dare to step on a plane. Instead they
should stay in their Jewish Ghetto and stare at the separation walls they
erected around themselves.
-
- The PM said he wanted legislation putting jurisdiction
for war crimes and similar offences under the CPS to be brought in 'as
soon as possible'. This is indeed what you would expect from a government
that is so heavily funded by the Jewish Lobby. Such a move would allow
attorneys such as Lord 'green light' Goldsmith to open Britain's gate
to Israeli genocidal murderers. Yet Brown failed to tell the Brits what
it is that stops magistrates from taking the right decisions regarding
war criminals. Let us face it. If Brown doesn't trust Britain's magistrates
he better let them go. He can always hire some Rabbis to look after Britain
legal system. If Britain is about to give up on its universal jurisdiction
laws, it better be prepared to let some tribal experts to look after its
ethical stand.
-
- Brown also said, "I am confident that an amendment
on better enforcement of existing legislation will serve to enhance Britain's
status in the eyes of international law, world opinion and history".
-
- I do not know much about the 'eyes' of the international
law' or 'world opinion', but I can assure Brown that his move is more than
welcome by the Jewish Chronicle and his Jewish fundraisers. Don't you
forget, it is election time after all.
