The Islamist group Hamas is masterminding efforts to have senior Israeli leaders arrested for alleged war crimes when they visit European countries including Britain, a top Hamas official involved in the effort has told The Times. The claim comes amid continuing diplomatic fallout after a British arrest warrant was issued last week against Tzipi Livni, who served as Foreign Minister during Israel’s Gaza offensive last winter.

The unceasing efforts of zealots in the Middle East to drag Western democracies into their fights continues. They should be resisted.

This is to be expected from a worthless terrorist organization like Hamas who kills and hides among their own people.

@NewEnglandBob: It’s easy to say from the cosiness of your home, isn’t it. Next time you are about to make a biased comment like this, a) remember that Hamas is the democratically elected representative of the Palestinian people (are all Palestinians terrorists, to you?), b) imagine yourself in the position of a Palestinian, who can’t go to school, hospital, leave the country, or whatever else without asking permission from Israelis, and then tell us who’s the real terrorist.

Someone—
Hamas launched rocket attacks against Israel for several years following Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza—
These are war crimes. There was no justification for this.

Why do these Israeli checkpoints exist? It’s because Hamas has sworn to annihilate Israel and attacks it every chance it gets.

They launched rocket attacks for years before Israel finally had to invade Gaza, and the Israeli’s took quite extraordinary steps to minimize civilian casualties. 

Currently England is a hotbed of anti-Israel sentiment based on years of incredibly biased coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict courtesy of the BBC and Islamist appeasers. 

The Palestinians deserve what all people do—the right to live in peace and liberty in their own land.  So do their Israeli neighbors.
