Tayeb of couse knows there was no chance of success but thats not the point. The point is to give up a series of headlines with "Israel" and "war crimes" in the title. Never mind every single last one of these attempts fails - that usually doesn't get reported.

with this case". Very believable ALI. Why not sue Nasrollah for firing thousands of rockets into Israeli populations in 2006?

You betcha! They should finished the job and REBUILD Gush Katif =)

or "moderate" Arab governments like Egypt, Jordan or Saudi Arabia? It would be interesting to have a journalist be bold enough to ask him if all his relentless pursuit is fueled by passion for a cause or money?

but you'll also continue to loose. the world is on to your lawfare tactics and we are not buying it anymore. stop using our civilized court system to defend your dirty terrorists in gaza. european christian

"I have nothing against Israel personally....'' IN FACT I LOVE ISRAEL SO MUCH THAT I WANT ALL ISRAEL TO BE AN ARAB STATE.... SO SAYS THE ARAB

Don't travel to the freaking Englarabia or Londonistan. I used to live in London for two years and used to love the city, but in the past ten years because of BBC, the country's anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism, I don't go there any more and I don't buy British products either. It's not such a great sacrifice: the country is not what it used to be and their products suck anyway. Let them stew in their own sauce.

Ali Tayeb is a complete moron. What makes him think that ANY UK court has jurisdiction over a military action that doesn't invove the UK and which takes place in another country? Tayeb should be embarrassed for his actions...

The tragedy is that Israel has to defend its' right to hurt civilians in its' own fight for survival. Name calling by Hamas and their supporters worldwide using terms like "occupiers" and "criminals" only serve to gain more support and provide an even more inaccurate view of the middle east.

It's just that I'm a muslim.

There will be a general election within a year in England and alot of jews & supporters of Israel live in key seats that Brown would need to win the election. Arresting Israeli politicians & boycotts are popular with the die hard Labour left who will vote Labour whatever it does. Brown though can't take sides that means not accepting boycotts voted for by the anti Israel trade unions and doing everything in his power to keep the courts out of politics. It would also mean a loss in millions of pounds worth of much needed British exports in counter boycotts and retaliations for the arresting of Israeli politicans along with ambasedor expulsions on both sides. The ripple effect would be huge and harmful to England. I think that a few civil servants will be sent to have a quiet word with people like Tayeb saying drop it this the country has to much to loose from your anti Israel idealism. I don't think Barak or any other Israeli politician has anything to worry about and this will blow over when reality sets in,

I am an Orthodox Jew living in the UK and have suffered much unprovoked anti semitic abuse much of it from Pakistani Muslims, maybe he could represent me.

The U.K. has never been a friend of Israel and should be treated as such. Now with it's gigantic Muslim poulation which will someday overthrow the British monarchy and government Israel must understand the U.K. will, out of fear, never back Israel when it counts.

Love to hear his "take" on this English nonsense. I think while he may be "Muslim" he always seems so even handed and non judgemental...If Englad had to arrest true War Criminals how come they hven't started on their own 5th columnists and other nefarious visitors?

He was quoted there in the article saying "he does not exclude the possibility of one day representing an Israeli settler against Hamas – if the case has merit." To residents of Sderot reading this. Find a way to contact Ali Tayeb; maybe since members of Hamas do not have diplomatic immunity, he will jump at the chance to be a missionary of justice and accept your case to punish those responsible for war crimes.

an Arab. since when Arabs like Israelis or jews.

all the muslums from the "colonies." England is a perfect example of why Rabbi Mier Kahane was the most forward thinking member the Knesset ever had.

to name a few: Richard Goldstone, Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Gideon Levy, Ilan Pepe, Amira Hass, Amos Shocken, etc.,.... Feel free to add names (unfortunately there are too many :-(.

But soon there will be Shari law in the UK so I don't think I will ever be seeing it in person. (...I wanted to share a youtube video of Muslims marching down the street of London humiliating the police force there but youtube removed it for some reason.) too bad :( God save the queens and us all.

I checked the law society which regulates ALL lawyers. His name is not there. I agree with other posts that this guy is just after some free advertising and to try his luck and your all running around talking about him. The fact that the very basis of the claim was rejected says that we ARE NOT an Islamic state or capital. To those who think Sharia or Islamic take over is coming into power, remember that ANYONE, namely Al Fayeds son, who came close to being near the British establishment, by way of connection to Diana, was killed in a mysterious car crash in Paris..

and Palestinians of Jaffa, Haifa, Ramleh, Safed.... return from refugee camps to their homes and lands in Palestine that are now occupied by Jewish settlers imported from Europe, Ethiopia, Ukraine, Poland.....

everybody get their comeuppance and so will israels war crimanals

you have more in common with Martians than with humans when you leave for good take with you muslims, kaba, qoran, sharia and enjoy it with them............and don't forget the virgins, to tempt Muslims to follow you

What an idiotic remark. Do you think that we are all jew-haters in the UK? Think again - this was a politically-motivated piece of vexatious litigation - the handiwork of extreme far left groups, assisted the by a Pakistani solicitor and a Palestinian Arab barrister. How short-sighted of you to presume that they act in our name. www.undhimmi.com
