In all that time, the government has sat on its hands. Only now that Tzipi Livni has had to cancel her trip to London following an attempt to arrest her over her part in Operation Cast Lead has the British government said it will change the law, probably by making the Attorney-General the gatekeeper for any such arrest attempts.While the double-standard the British could have even against Israeli leftists is still quite possible, this nevertheless makes a lot of sense that their reaction is not for altruistic reasons. No wonder the idea of making the UK attorney general "gatekeeper" for these arrest warrants actually sounds fishy.
Why is it only now that the balloon has gone up? One reason is that this is the first time the Israeli government has responded with unbridled fury at Britain. But also, for British diplomats, Livni is ‘one of us’. That is because, since she is one of the most appeasement-minded politicians Israel has ever produced, it is considered an affront to try to arrest her, of all people, for her part in warfare.
‘Livni supports a two-state solution. This attempt to secure her arrest has really set alarm bells ringing,’ a horrified senior Foreign Office source reportedly told the Guardian. The unpleasant implication is that the Foreign Office cares far less about attempts to arrest Israeli politicians with more hawkish views.
This telling remark shows how the Foreign Office circles the wagons when one of its ideological soul-mates is under attack — and is wholly unable to see how the amoral and unprincipled view of the world it believes it shares with Livni may actually be contributing to the problem.
A comment from Ken Solomon of Red State, to Jim at Gateway Pundit:For the first time ever, Israel has called ALL of its ambassadors and consuls home for meetings this week in Jerusalem.
The meetings opened today.
MFA.gov reported:The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Liberman, will host a conference next week (27-31 December) for Israeli Heads of Missions. At the conference, Israel’s ambassadors and consuls general serving throughout the world will discuss broad diplomatic and strategic issues.
This is the first time a conference for all of Israel’s Heads of Missions has been held. The idea is to facilitate direct dialogue with the country’s leaders, mutual updates on major diplomatic issues, and a discussion of action plans to deal with the challenges awaiting the State of Israel in the international arena in the coming year, including the Iranian threat.
Jim:I must say, I feel the same way as the guy from Red State.
Sincere thanks for putting this on GP. People need to understand the probable outcome.
You have no idea how much this flipped me out on the 24th when I read just the first two paragraphs of the press release – honestly, I thought it was some sort of incredibly well-done fake. I had to make sure it was the real deal before I sent it anywhere.
Reliapundit adds:If nobody realizes it yet, the merde is about to encounter the ventilateur in a VERY big way
and even though this bit of news isn’t happening here, the end result will directly affect every man, woman, child and nation on the planet………..
Nothing like this has ever happened before with Israel…… Sure, they called home an ambassador or two for odd expense accounting, a chief of mission for offending some peace-lover via a newspaper quote and maybe even had real problems with a few of the folks they thought were on the side of their own homeland…… They even had all European ambassadors back a few times for conferences on the Lisbon thing. Every nation holds “home field” events with their foreign staff members.
But nothing like this meeting that started today…… The title and timing are getting curiouser and curiouser……….

Want that in reality-speak?
Bibi Netanyahu is gonna talk to ‘em all……. Know what he’s gonna say ?
We’re going in. Hard. Heavy. Not stopping. You can go back to your posts now….. Except you two - yeah, you two…..The dudes sittin’ in DC and at the UN….. We’ve gotta talk….. C’mere……..
Listen up and listen good…….. There’s a new sheriff in town and it’s us Eeeeevil Jooooooooooos. You go back there and verbally smack that p.o.s. posing as a supposed leader of free men. Tell him the 22% of our people who saw through his Jihadist arse have much better things to do than swat flies the likes of him. So he better wise up and either resign, or get ready to start something he can never, ever finish, or win.
You can even tell him flat-out in these exact words: Don’t F with Israel.
You don’t need to wait for a response from that Dictator In Training Pants either…. Leave him standing there with his teeth trying to bite through the back of his neck. Also, make sure that traitorous waste of carbon, ’supposedly-a-Jew’ Rham is right next to him when you meet.
Just so you understand what’s going on, this ‘bring-’em-all-in’ conference wasn’t planned to take place until Iran got a bit further on with the big toys that go bang program. But since their own people are starting their uprising with the Ashura holiday, why not get going now, eh ?
LOOK AT THE CUMULATIVE COLUMN.

THAT'S 10 INCHES FOLKS. A LOT OF SNOW ANYWHERE. ESPECIALLY BRITAIN.SEVERE weather warnings have been issued across Britain today ahead of heavy snowfall tomorrow and Wednesday.
The Met Office have issued severe weather warnings for Wales, Scotland and much of central and southern England as wintery conditions and heavy snow return ahead of the New Year weekend.
Forecasters are warning of a high risk of sleet, snow and blizzard conditions - with as much as 25 centimeters of snow in some parts.
MEMPHIS, TN - Tonight, Mohamed Ibrahim is out after posting $100 bond. Earlier in the day, he was arrested after police say he walked into several Memphis businesses and threatened to blow them up.Let me get this straight. He had a knife hidden on him, yet they released him on as little ass $100? This is very serious, because what if he were to go on a rampage for real this time? I think this is going to have to be addressed in court, and either the police or the judge who released him have a lot of explaining to do. Residents of Memphis who care about their safety are going to have to demand answers from the local legal system.
Court records show Ibrahim was also telling people he was Muslim, and wanted to start a jihad, or holy war, in Memphis.
Police say when they arrested him, he had a butcher knife hidden in one of his jacket sleeves.
(Israelnationalnews.com) General Security Services in partnership with soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed the murderers of Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai. All three were convicted terrorists who had been committed to and later released from Israeli prisons.And wisely so.
Chai, 45, was murdered by Arabs in a drive by shooting while chauffeuring his wife and one of their children in their family car, between Shavei Shomron and Einav.
The Israeli military operation took place on the evening of December 25, the Jewish Sabbath. PA head Mahmoud Abbas was not forewarned of the mission.
The homes of three men known to have taken part in the murder were surrounded by special forces units, who tried to arrest them. According to an army spokesperson, the men "refused to cooperate", rejecting calls to surrender. Troops subequently opened fire on the buildings.Now isn't that something. Shows how Islamists care only for but themselves, and truly, their families mean nothing to them.
Nader Raed Sukarji, a 40 year-old inhabitant of Shechem, was arrested in 2002 and suspected of being a top Al Aksa terror group brigade operative and participant in many terror attacks. He also prepared bombs and helped establish explosives factories in Nablus (Shechem). He was released from prison in January 2009.
Palestinian sources say Sukarji's wife was also injured in the operation, after her husband used her as a human shield while hiding in their house.
Ahmadinejad pushing to separate sexesISLAM IN IT'S STRICTEST, MOST LITERAL FORM IS INCOOMPATIBLE WITH MODERNITY.
Since Ahmadinejad was elected, the government has made various moves to further segregate office buildings, hospitals, public parks and primary schools and in the half year since the president was reelected a number of Iranian ministers and religious leaders have called for a more strict adherence to sex segregation in various aspects of public life.
"There has definitely been a concerted effort to rekindle the kind of policies that enforce gender segregation," Dr. Mehrdad Khonsari, a senior research consultant at the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies told The Media Line. "There are efforts to have separate dining areas in universities, to close co-ed places, the atmosphere is just generally different."
... "They want to crush the opposition and to create this holy pristine Islamic primordial ideal type of Islam which never existed and is just in their imagination," he continued. "They want more Islam and segregation but even the hardcore Revolutionary Guard don't want a Wahabi style Saudi country.""I think the majority in Iran want gradual liberalization without turning into a Western country," Dr. Pardo stressed. "They want to keep their religious and spiritual identity but without repression."
"What is unique about gender relations in Iran is that in the 1960s and 1970s a variety of egalitarian laws were passed," he said. "After the Islamic revolution, the regime could not strip women of the right to vote because of their participation in the revolution, so women became a class of people who's rights were gradually stripped from them."
"It's one thing when women have limited rights, like in Saudi Arabia," Dr. Pardo added. "It's another thing when women have rights and they are then taken away. This is what happened in Iran."

Hadn't Abdulmutallab heard that we are closing Gitmo? Hadn't he heard that we're phasing out military-commissions so we can show the world that we give even the worst mass-murderers civilian trials with all the rights of American citizens? Hadn't he heard that President Obama has banned torture (yes, yes, I know, actually Congress banned it 15 years ago — details, details ...)? Hadn't he heard that the president has called for "a new beginning" in America's relationship with the Muslim world? Hadn't he heard that this is our new, smarter strategy to safeguard the nation from man-caused disasters?I suspect he's heard all those things.

Israelis seek arrest of Hamas leaders abroad
JERUSALEM — A group of Israelis wounded in Palestinian rocket attacks during this year's Gaza war have asked a Belgian court to issue war crimes arrest warrants against Hamas leaders, they said on Thursday.
The lawsuit, which the plaintiffs say is unprecedented, follows a slew of requests filed by pro-Palestinian groups across Europe for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders over their role in the devastating Gaza offensive.
The latest move was led by a European pro-Israeli lobby representing 15 victims of rocket attacks on southern Israel, who were wounded, whose homes were damaged and in one case who lost a relative.
Eight Turkish soldiers have been detained over an alleged plot to assassinate Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, the army has said.THE TURKISH DPM - LIKE TURKEY'S PM AND PRESIDENT - IS A MEMBER OF THE AKP: AN ISLAMIST PARTY, AND THEY'RE DRAGGING TURKEY AWAY FROM THE WEST, NATO, THE EU AND INTO THE AXIS OF EVIL - IRAN; SYRIA AND SO ON...
It said the soldiers were taken to the army headquarters in Ankara after being interrogated by a prosecutor on Friday.
The arrests follow an inquiry which was launched last week after Mr Arinc said a car with two officers had been spotted several times near his house.
The Turkish military denied being part of any plot.
It said the officers were investigating a military official living nearby.
The detentions come amid renewed speculation that there is mounting tension between the governing AK Party, which has its roots in political Islam, and the powerful armed forces.
The Turkish army sees itself as the guardian of the country's secularism.
Earlier this year, dozens of people, including two retired generals, journalists and academics, went on trial in Turkey accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
Not a word from president pantywaist about this or the terrorist trying to blow up an aircraft. He’s busy enjoying a holiday. The man is a disgrace.
