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.

1. Ha , good try - not!!

We all too busy watching child murderers and market bombers and airport suicide killers and LGBTQ club mass murders all in the last few weeks.

[shira]

2. What a load of shit. The UK has major issues with Jews it needs to work out.

The Corbyn phenomenon being just the tip of the iceberg.

3. All war criminals should be tried - even Israeli ones... n/t

5. Those who can't see this for the Jew hatred it is do not want to see it...

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.

[shira]

8. Obama is more a "war criminal" than Livni by a long shot.....

Same WRT David Cameron, Francois Hollande, Vlad Putin...

Where are the warrants for their arrest? Why Livni, not them? You know the answer.

[Israeli]

9. Good lord shira ......

.....have you no loyalty to anyone outside your religious believes ???

You are supposed to be an American Democrat...... I would never slander Obama as you do .

And if Hilary makes a stance against the settlements ....will she to be condemned by you ?

*Sigh* ....... Jonathan Pollard syndrome all over again .

[shira]

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.

[Israeli]

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

If I lived in your head I'm sure I would shira ...... .....only I dont thank god .

[shira]

12. Sure, you don't know why. Right.... n/t

6. Antisemitism has never been a rational hate.

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