1. Why no British criminal lawsuit against Saudi rulers??
KMR ,   Middle East   (12.06.07)
Is it not crime against "humanity" of their supression of women (50% of human population)?
2. trip cancellation
jacob ,   munich   (12.06.07)
Avi Dichter hould go. If he doesn´t he either is personally afraid of a tribula and7or is implicitelly admitting to be guilty. Go - it is like war , you have to go through , otherwise it will always be easy to blackmail Israelis for acting on behalf of their xountry
3. War criminals?
Yoni ,   Donegal, Ireland.   (12.06.07)
Intresting... what about the british policy in Ireland, where lawyers who worked for Republicans were killed with apparent state colousion? or bloody sunday where 14 civilian civil rights protestors were gunned down in the streets by the british army in 1972? any 'war crimes' investigations pending? i dont think so.

Petra ,   usa   (12.06.07)
Briton sux. A German Queen, her alduterous husband and son, and even a grandson who adorns a nazi uniform! And they sleep with the oil devils who harm many innocents with terror. Hail Britistan! May your 'empire' be reduced to a gay mens bathroon.
6. 5, Petra: reat post! It is only a matter of time before

American generals and diplomats and government officials are issued arrest warrants whent they visit Britain. It is already happening in Germany. I forget which US Cabinet member was issued a warrant and arrested in Germany that was reported in Free American Press. The matter was covered up in most of the mainstream newsmedia until he was released and went back to America. There are indications President has or will recognize the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction on Americans. That will result in US Army officers and officials being issued warrants in foreign countries if they travel there. People have been arrested in Austria and Germany for something on EMAILS that was objected to that electronic surveillance obtained. The Israeli Major who is on trial for espionage sent faxes and emails to Iran, apparently unaware everything on the electronic superhighway is recored by Cray Supercomputers and satellite surveillance for 500 key words that could signify the person sending the message could be a terrorist. Same with phone calls. Europe is fed up with the foreign surveillance that listens for words like bomb.
7. 2 Jacob: The courts in most countries are so corrupt, it is
Rivkah   (12.06.07)
not a sure thing to get justice by going through the court process instead of avoiding such warrants. An article in Free American magazine for November 2007 discusses the court system in America by a high ranking former US government official who says the object of American courts is not determining guilt or innocence, but in destroying lives with frame machines and false witnesses so the prosecutors can look successful in getting convictions. There is a 95% felony conviction rate in America which is higher than the Spanish Inquisition that dug up bodies of Jews to put them on trial to steal their property. There are more people in American prisons than in Red China that has a vastly larger population. Take heart. There is a Great Advocate in the Lord and He is going to judge all this corruption.
8. Parasites pirating our system to defeat us.
(12.06.07)
Doesn't it churn your stomach? I mean, for goodness sakes - just take a look at this absurd situation that the British actually allow to remain. It beggars belief. Totally sick of the whole Palestinian 'cause'. They are not worthy of consideration, greatly contributing to their situation and never accepting an ounce of responsibility for anything. Just sick of them. BUGGER OFF!
9. Somebody needs a dose of reality
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.06.07)
Dichter has a diplomatic passport and can not be arrested in any country for anything period. That is international law and is superior to any laws in England. Even if he did not have a diplomatic passport his actions took place while he was in the government again those actions mean that the English laws are illegal.
10. #7 Rivka
jacob ,   munich   (12.06.07)
what you claim, may be true, but as a democtratic state you should make a difference to those countries that actually comitted war crimes, Serbia, Croatia,Ruanda, Kongo , etc. Ma nishtana? I one starts to avoid to travel to Western counties than you are going to be subject of blackmail from mostly the "left".
11. #5 and nonsense
English guy ,   London   (12.06.07)
In fact, Britain should allow all potential war criminals to be prosecuted if they set foot on its soil - that includes the Sudanese Ministers and a hotch potch of other undesirables. As for your comments "a German Queen... sleep with the oil devils... may your empire be reduced to a gay mens bathroom" - I think you have mistaken writing considered opinion on a public forum with rank puerile graffiti on a toilet wall. If you wish to be anti-British and write the crudest form of anti-monarchical sentiment, you are welcome. But at the very least you could clothe your sentiments in the words of a reasoned person. "A German queen"? You are only showing your pathetic ignorance.
12. English Guy #5
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.06.07)
If you really want to wage a war of aggression against us, keep it up. When are ALL the members of the Royal Army that served in Northern Ireland going to face trial? Or the politicians that sent them? How about the British soldiers that sent Jews to concentration camps during and after WWII? When your pathetic, ignorant, racist, hypocratic colonial power obeys even are moderate amount of international laws only then will you have the right to lecture anybody else.
13. No problem
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (12.06.07)
Killing children while sleeping is ok for the Israeli case. who cares anyhow because they kill and kill and then say we regret to kill children once again ... poor Israel and its moral people (beloved chosen ones). remember you get what you give ... so get used to cancel many many visits to come.
14. Brits will only insult Jews, they would not try this with th
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (12.07.07)
israel should state that the arrest of its government members is hostage taking that must be followed by the incarceration of the brit ambassador to israel. brits everywhere should be snatched for hostage trading.
15. What goes around, comes around. Salmon Rushdie was arrested
(12.07.07)
in Israel when he visited on a warrant from Iran of all places. Iran is Israel's enemy, but nailing a Brit was more important than ignoring a warrant that was probably baseless from an enemy for a Brit. So now, Israelis get served warrants in Britain, so they can get even.
16. Why aren't British Jews using this to indict Palestinians?
Ben Plonie ,   Galus, Chutz L'Aretz   (03.25.08)
Why aren't British Jews using this means to indict Palestinians?
