zIONIST WAR CRIMINALS ON THE RUN - TIME TO INTENSIFY PALESTINIAN SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT/ANTI-zIONIST MOVEMENT

PATHETIC iSRAELI WAR CRIMINAL FLEES BRITAIN
LIKE A TRUE TO FORM zIONIST COWARD

An Israeli colonel involved in Operation Cast Lead returned
to Israel in haste on Friday, fearing arrest on charges of
war crimes during a visit to the UK.

Col. (res.) Geva Rapp had arrived in London three days
before for appearances in which he was to explain Israel's
position and refute media representations of the
hostilities.

His trip had been cleared by Israeli security services.

On Thursday night, after news of his visit reached
pro-Palestinian groups, some 80 protesters demonstrated
outside the offices of the Union of Jewish Students (UJS)
in central London, where Rapp was scheduled to speak.

Calling for police to arrest him, the protesters blocked
public pathways, while one scaled the building's walls.
Police made several arrests.

The event was cancelled and the decision was made for Rapp
to return to Israel out of fear of a universal jurisdiction
arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.

A loophole in British law allows private criminal
complaints of war crimes to be lodged against military
personnel, even if they are not British citizens and the
alleged crimes were committed elsewhere. Pro-Palestinian
groups in Britain and other countries have been trying to
exploit the loophole against IDF officers and Israeli
leaders.

Israel is working with the British government to change the
law.

Before leaving Britain, Rapp addressed students at the
Hasmonean and Jewish Free (JFS) high schools in London. He
also spoke at events organized by the Jewish Agency and
Aish UK.
