Israeli politician Tzipi Livni 'summoned by UK police'

3 July 2016 Middle East

Israeli politician Tzipi Livni was summoned by UK police for questioning over alleged war crimes while in London last week, Israeli officials have said.

Ms Livni received a letter from the police on Thursday but the summons was cancelled after talks between Israel and the UK, Israeli media reports say.

The case relates to the 2008-9 conflict in Gaza, when Ms Livni was foreign minister and deputy PM, they say.

UK police said there was no ongoing war crimes investigation.

Correspondents say pro-Palestinian activists have filed a series of complaints against Israeli officials, including Ms Livni, in recent years.

They're bigots who refuse to see it and there's really no other, better explanation for it.

This is related to the Corbyn phenomenon, the EU applauding Abbas' incitement, EU funding of terrorists, the UN stating that hacking 13 year old girls in bed is a natural reaction to terror, the UNESCO vote declaring the Western Wall part of Al-Aqsa...

And this is just another in a long continuation of the same Jew hatred.

It needs to be condemned, not supported.

7. Pinochet was arrested in Britain in 1998 - was that due to jew hatred too?

While Tzipi Livni is only responsible for killing half as many civilians as Pinochet, so she's only half as bad, it's still enough to be called mass murder and a crime against humanity.

10. I'm "judging" by one standard. If Livni is a war criminal....

...then so too is every western leader who has recently been involved in a war.

The only way Livni can be judged is in comparison to others, and when it comes to war time comparisons Livni is a saint in comparison.

You know very well the one reason Livni is singled out among all others.

It leads to leaders making really dumb decisions that have long-term consequences.
