Spain ?issues arrest warrant? for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and seven other former and current government officials are at risk of arrest if they set foot in Spain, after a Spanish judge effectively issued an arrest warrant for the group, it has been reported.

According to the Latin American Herald Tribune, Spanish national court judge Jose de la Mata ordered the police and civil guard to notify him if Mr Netanyahu and the six other individuals enter the country, as their actions could see a case against them regarding the Freedom Flotilla attack of 2010 reopened.

The other men named in the issue are former defence minister Ehud Barak, former foreign minister Avigdor Leiberman, former minister of strategic affairs Moshe Yaalon, former interior minister Eli Yishai, minister without portfolio Benny Begin and vice admiral maron Eliezer, who was in charge of the operation.

So, there is actually not an arrest warrant is there?..

Spain has no jurisdiction. This happened on International waters, and officially the UN has reported the blockade was legal. These ships attempted to run the blockade and the ships were raided, end of story.

Brave judge

"Spanish activists were also on board the ships.

Spain has pioneered the use of universal jurisdiction, the concept that crimes against humanity can be prosecuted across borders."

Debunking OP's thread titles? :1orglaugh

An Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nachshon told the Jerusalem Post: ?We consider it to be a provocation. We are working with the Spanish authorities to get it cancelled. We hope it will be over soon.?

Something is in effect.

Bibi's real scared now guys.

Spain must have pioneered universal jurisdiction after they themselves pioneered the concepts of rape, pillage and plunger... and corruption.

Israel always been the devil on our shoulder

There will never be peace in the mid east as long as Netanyahu has any input into Israel's future.

He said Arafat was the problem; but Arafat has been dead for over a decade.

:2 cents:

Its bad press. He's used to that but he's obviously upset enough to try and get it cancelled.

Funny words coming from someone with the word "Slav" on his nick.

At least Spain are doing something......


Got a French flag on your Facebook profile picture? Congratulations on your corporate white supremacy | Voices | The Independent

I do not see the french flag on face book as white supremacy, my muslim friends living in the UK also have the flag up. It is a sign of "altogether" "as one". Trying to be stronger against the ISIS evil.

Instead of picking hairs, we should all try to do something each day, whether helping a person in the street or over the internet. It is only a handful of people in this world causing trouble, terror or upset.

If we're here to do business, we should all agree, it is only when we feel happy or content that we are horny & want to look at porn. Therefore, the worry of attack can at some point actually effect also effect our business.

I'm pleased to see anyone helping & not hindering the world :2 cents:
