Figures. Hamas Was Behind Livni's Arrest Warrant

Apparently, any schmuck can just put out a warrant for anyone for war crimes in the UK, so some idiot judge did Hamas' bidding. Ridiculous.

From the Times of London via Carl in Jerusalem:

The Islamist group Hamas is masterminding efforts to have senior Israeli leaders arrested for alleged war crimes when they visit European countries including Britain, a top Hamas official involved in the effort has told The Times.

The claim comes amid continuing diplomatic fallout after a British arrest warrant was issued last week against Tzipi Livni, who served as Foreign Minister during Israel’s Gaza offensive last winter. The warrant was withdrawn when it became clear that Ms Livni, now leader of the opposition, was not in the country. Its existence apparently prompted her to cancel a trip to attend a meeting in London.

[...]

The campaign by Hamas takes advantage of an aspect of law in England and Wales that allows anyone to apply for an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes without the need for a prosecuting lawyer. The identity of the person or organisation that applied for Ms Livni’s warrant has not been made public, but Hamas says that it initiated the move.

Insane. Israel was protecting kindergartners from Qassams. Here's what real war crimes look like:



Or let some sexy IDF soldiers tell you about Hamas' booby-trapped zoo and school in Gaza:



In related news, Israel is considering boycotting British goods because the UK is being a bunch of Nazi jackasses and Israel wishes to not be dragged down by their slow-motion suicide.

We should all boycott England over this nonsense.

Exit question: If I boycott England, can I still listen to Amy Winehouse, a British Jew? Can I watch Peter Sellers movies?
