It's relevant and applicable. This country agrees to the principles of universal justice, Livni, as one of the architects of the massacre (I am accepting the Goldstone report, the condemnation given by a zionist. a well respected man). Let her answer the charges.



I think Israel has no right to demand that we change our laws to make them an exception. Israel, a country with an appauling human right records should be held accountable.



-Annt- Children who died of head wounds, that is not humane. You believe it is, but I don't. That's the difference between me and you.



-ediot- All you people who think that the principles of universal justice is worthless would surely change your minds if a Nazi war criminal visited the UK freely.



The warrant was issued because the magistrate believed that Livni was answerable to the charges. Someone mentioned our foreign secretary. Given his stance toward zionism it was to be expected. You zionists certainly have a friend there, he is almost an honorary fellow countryman.,

Are we referring to the law by which any foreign national can have an arrest warrant on their head if deemed reasonable, or something along those lines ?



In short, absurd. If such an arrest could happen to Tzipi, then in the near future it would also be legal to arrest someone such as Vladimir Putin. And I don't think I need to explain to you the implication of arresting that guy, or any president for that matter.



I read something on this very briefly at work, so I may be talking a load of rubbish for all I know. But theres no good reason Britain would want to arrest an Israel politician (within reason). Only counter-productive for relations.

Gena, I'm more of a "Zionist" than Goldstone is and ever will be and I'm not a Zionist.



Goldstone himself said that none of the "evidence" gathered would hold up in a court of law. So, if you are using him as a basis for your allegation then maybe you better rethink your argument.



As is the case, the basis for British law and thus the ability for a British court to issue arrest warrants against foreigners visiting the country should belong in Britain, not some general appeal to "universal justice". That being the case, let us see the details behind the arrest warrant and let us see if British law was properly applied in this case. If not, then it is the judges that have some 'splaining to do.



(I do realize that I am not a lawyer nor British so I would be a very poor judge of whether the law was followed... but then again, everyone else here is not a lawyer either.)

What understanding ?The selective understanding of unquestioning fools . Oh good that meant know god rag referred to as the bible which even hebrew scholars doubt has any authenticity and that they have been meant to have written the rattling factor. interior the record of historic kings of isreal 2 necessary names are lacking DAVID and SOLOMON and a few archeologists are beginning as much as sense the single god beleif of the isrealites is the remnants of the egyptian akhnaten cult who became into the 1st to declare there became into purely one genuine god long earlier the hebrews did. for each shown medical fact shown in the process history there has been some fool with sensible *** quote attempting to teach it incorrect. tell me do you human beings nonetheless argue approximately what proportion angels can dance on the top of a pin?It became right into a huge deal in christian circles at one time .Or the solar circles the earth ?have you ever given up on that one yet? each" sensible" pronouncment and concept positioned forth via you human beings has shown to be utter nonsense why could we settle for any from some musty old text fabric we could constantly have out grown via now.

They can run, but they sure can't hide.

Wait until some real major league bounty hunters get their hands on these war criminals.

I know some folks here in Norfolk that all they want is the green lite from our Government and the Pentagon to go after these guys.

They sure did a hell of a mess in Gaza last year, didn't they?

(where is mah beer? I've been waiting here fer at least 15 minutes, now)

It would be applicable, if it were not absurd. And if it were not absurd , the British government now would not apologize before Israel, the British Foreign minister would not call Livni branding this sentence as "absurd", and the British Prime minister would not personally invite Livni to visit Britain whenever she wishes.

I agree with Gena, it is relevant and applicable. One law for everyone. You can't just make exceptions. And believe me, as a Brit, I would protest strenuously if they try it, as will others.

Livni and her cronies should just be happy that the Palestinians haven't followed Israel's example of kidnapping anyone they feel is a criminal, and putting them on trial.........or worse yet, just go all vigilante and start assasinating them without the benefit of a trial.

I'm figuring some Muslims set the whole thing up and it was never legal. Strange you don't hear of what court issued the warrant or who asked for it.

Totally insane.



Is real had been subjected to thousands of rockets and mortar bombs from the Muslim terrorists in Gaza and they fought back in the most humane way.



This is total cynicism!!
