More Than 56,000 Have Signed Petition Started on Aug. 7 Urging the Arrest of Netanyahu When He Visits London In Sept. re. the Killing of Over 2,200 Gazans in 2014 ~ 100K Signatures Needed for Parliamentary Debate

[Editor's Note: On March 3, 2015, 535 members of congress made it crystal clear to the American people just who's the boss of the American government when they gave a cheering, 4 minute-long standing ovation to Benjamin Netanyahu, who was introduced to congress by a fawning John Boehner as "His Excellency, Benjamin Netanyahu." These well-bribed, obsequious servants of Zion welcome the 'WMD' Prophet of Doom like he's the greatest conquering hero in American history, another MacArthur returning triumphant from the war, when just 7 months earlier, he had killed over 2,200 Palestinians in Gaza with aerial bombings and outlawed, burn-to-the-bone white phosphorous "showers," injured 11,000 more, destroyed 17,000 homes, and displaced 500,000 desperate people. I've never witnessed such a despicable and loathsome display of sycophancy in my entire life. The content of his speech, of course, matched the lies of his previous assurances, some years earlier, that Iraq had WMDs (and had to be taken out by the US military, at US taxpayer expense).

The UK parliament petition linked below was at 45,000 when I received the email yesterday with this story, but had risen to over 56,000 as I type these words on August 14. I wouldn't be surprised if it reached 100k within a few days of this writing, and by September, it may well exceed 500K or even 1 million names. Whether the UK parliament will debate the issue is uncertain, but the public outcry does send a message, however, that the thinking people of this planet are not so eager to bow down before "His Excellency" of the Likud party and applaud his war mongering propaganda.]

Netanyahu will arrive in London on a state visit in September and meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron. According to Jewish News, the Iranian nuclear deal and the impasse in the Israel-Palestine peace process will be key issues on the agenda during the visit.

The petition, published on the UK Parliament website, demands Netanyahu’s arrest upon arrival for “the massacre of over 2,000 civilians in 2014.”
Last summer, Israel launched a bloody war against Gaza that killed nearly 2,300 Palestinians, the majority of which were civilians, 500 of them children.
The brutal attack crippled Gaza’s infrastructure and left over 500,000 people homeless or displaced.

The government will be forced to respond since the petition has received over 10,000 signatures. If it surpasses 100,000, Parliament could debate the issue.

However, under diplomatic immunity laws, Netanyahu is protected from arrest in Britain for alleged crimes committed in foreign countries.

Israel has dismissed the petition, calling it a “meaningless” publicity stunt that has “no practical significance.”

In a statement, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said: [The petition is]

“a PR exercise with no real meaning. Bilateral ties between Britain and Israel are closer than ever before.”

[This is] “evidenced by data on mutual trade, doubled in recent years, and by cooperation in academic studies, culture and science between the two countries,” it added.

According to the Jerusalem Post, some former Israeli officials have been at risk of arrest in Britain as pro-Palestinian activists in the UK “take advantage of legal loopholes.”

Previously, the law allowed complaints of alleged war crimes committed elsewhere to be lodged against military personnel even if they were not British citizens.

In 2011, Britain altered the law, making it more difficult to obtain arrest warrants against Israeli figures by requiring the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Previous targets have included the former Defense Minister Ehud Barak and former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
