Jack Straw said WHAT?!?
When is a war criminal not a war criminal? When he's Israeli.
Straw apology on Israeli arrest
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has apologised to his Israeli counterpart over the attempted arrest of a general accused of war crimes. Major General Doron Almog, ex-head of Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, faced private prosecution charges.
The Foreign Office says Mr Straw apologised to Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom "as a courtesy". "He was saying he was sorry if the incident had embarrassed the Israelis," said a Foreign Office spokesman. Mr Straw also stressed the UK Government had not played a role in the arrest warrant - which Maj Gen Almog dodged after a tip-off from an Israeli official.
A 'tip-off' eh? Handy.
Let's have a think about why so much of the Middle East hates the west.
Saddam Hussein - brutal dictator - gassed and oppressed all opposition - overthrown
Ariel Sharon - war criminal - receives $15,139,178 per day in aid from the US
Iraq - no WMD - invaded by USA/UK as a threat to Middle East & global security, despite lacking a clear mandate from the UN - ever wondered why?
Israel - known to have WMD - in violation of numerous UN Security council resolutions - yet USA now vetoes criticism of Israel
Israel carries out a terrorist attack against the US - ignored
British troops in the process of carrying out a terrorist attack against Iraqi civilians - suspects liberated by the occupying force
Getting a clue?
