English judges have foreign policy role?

A legal spat between Israel and Britain

ISRAELI bigwigs may not be visiting Britain much in the months ahead following the near arrest on December 13th of Tzipi Livni, the leader of the opposition, for alleged war crimes. A London judge issued an arrest warrant for Ms Livni for her role as foreign minister in Israel’s “Operation Cast Lead”, the assault on the Gaza Strip earlier this year. The order was withdrawn when the judge learned that Ms Livni would not be in Britain as planned.

Why does the UK allow judges to interfere in foreign policy? And why would you prosecute a foreign minister for war crimes? WTF?

Felch, Britain is definitely not the only country which asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Time for the Mossad to take out some powdered-wig wearing punks.

[Felch]

No, but according to the article (which I only quoted in part) it is the only country that allows judges to do so without other government officials being involved to prevent abuse.

Mossad's a bunch of pussies that uses fake Canadian passports to assassinate people in Sweden. Any real country would just bomb the crap out of Stockholm.

[Drake Tungsten]

Dude, the Swedes are crafty. They even convinced the Nazis not to bomb them.

Norway, was it. That's the one to the left.

Any real country would just bomb the crap out of Stockholm anyway.

Who can tell the difference?

Who can tell the difference?

Scandinavians can; those ****ers really hate each other despite the fact that they're all the same. It's similar to how Canadians hate Americans.

[KrazyHorse]

We hate Americans because you suck.

[Drake Tungsten]

Love it or leave it, *****.

[KrazyHorse]

I'm taking NYC with me.

[Drake Tungsten]

As long as the Yankees go with you, it's cool with me.

I'd be behind that. Shoot a few ass wipes who no doubt need a good shooting.
