Friday, Britain amended its universal jurisdiction law to the extent that Israeli war criminals can now enter the kingdom without risk of arrest.
British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould shamelessly called Israeli war criminal Tzipi Livni, against whom an arrest warrant was issued in 2009, and told her that the Queen has signed the amendment “to ensure that the UK’s justice system can no longer be abused for political reasons.”
Ignoramus ambassador Gould should know that putting a war criminal behind bars is not a political matter, but an ethical necessity.
However, the amendment of the law is just another symptom of the Zionification of UK legal system and culture. I believe that the timing of this submissive dubious political decision couldn’t be more significant. A decade ago last week, the English Speaking Empire adopted the Old Testament’s ‘eye for and eye’ (i.e. ‘The War Against Terror’) as its new official ideological mantra. Hence, it is far from being surprising that it is now following orders from Jerusalem.
If the West was once associated with Athens, it is clearly fixated by Jerusalem now. This is certainly a tragedy, yet not a Greek one.
