Anti-Israel Petition Calls for Arrest of Netanyahu During UK Visit (Israel calls 'PR stunt')

As of Wednesday morning, nearly 40,000 people had signed an online petition calling for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on war crimes charges during his visit to the United Kingdom next month.

The petition, created on the British Parliament’s E-petitions website, says, “Benjamin Netanyahu is to hold talks in London this September. Under international law he should be arrested for war crimes upon arrival in the U.K. for the massacre of over 2,000 civilians in 2014.”

According to British law, the government must respond to all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures, while a petition that garners 100,000 will be considered for debate in the parliament.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry called the petition “a public relations stunt with no practical significance.”

“The bilateral relations between Britain and Israel are closer than ever,” the ministry said in a statement, highlighting data that shows the doubling of trade between the two countries in recent years as well as “fruitful” academic, cultural, and scientific cooperation.

When the first Iranian ICBM fired at the UK drops its nuke, may it be on the heads of that 40,000.

“When the first Iranian ICBM fired at the UK drops its nuke, may it be on the heads of that 40,000.”

Add: as well as the heads of the remainder of that pop. Sniveling, spineless moral cowards who refused to stand up to the destructionists and thereby earned their own destruction.

Kinda like most of us here in the US are also doing.
