We will fight them on the beaches ???

The very idea that Major General Doron Almog had to face the possibility of arrest when landing in London for "crimes against humanty" - namely bulldozing houses in Gaza, is sickening enough in what it says about the current state of international law. Much more disturbing for me is the spectre of a fine Israeli soldier scampering back home like a whipped dog with his tail between his legs because some people have been able to exploit the perverted state of British law to threaten him with such action. Surely a much better action would be for Israel to expose the nonsense that this threat represents by letting someone (not necessarily Almog) be brought to trial in a British court, and to, as would almost certainly be the case, have the charges dismissed out of hand, thereby eliminating the need for Israeli soldiers to now avoid landing in the UK.

We could take the positive step of laying these charges ourselves, not waiting for the perverts who call themselves citizens of this country to choose their targets. Get it all out into the open, and get rid of it once-for-all. Better than letting them crow about their "victory" and our cowardice. Much better this way than trying to negotiate a diplomatic solution, which would only serve as ammunition in their claims that we seek to control the world though underhand dealing, bribery and subversion. If British "justice" allows such charges to be laid, then let's get British "justice" to deal with them properly.
