ISRAELI PM MAY FACE MURDER CHARGE IN DUBAI
Dubai to issue arrest warrant for Netanyahu if Mossad behind Hamas killing
Dubai is to issue an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, if investigators conclude that the Mossad intelligence service was behind the killing of a senior Hamas official in the emirate last month.
By Adrian Blomfield in Jerusalem for the UK Telegraph
The threat to detain the Israeli leader came as police in Dubai linked the apparent murder of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a senior member of the Hamas military wing, to the Jewish state for the first time.
Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai’s police chief, claimed that the dead man was killed using methods known to be employed by Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency. He added that Mr Netanyahu would be held personally responsible if Mossad was identified as the culprit.
”Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will be the first to be wanted for justice as he would have been the one who signed the decision to kill al-Mabhouh in Dubai,” Gen Tamim told The National, an English language newspaper in Dubai.
“We will issue an arrest warrant against him.”
Mr Mabhouh was found dead in his Dubai hotel room on January 20. According to initial forensic reports, he was given an electric shock before being suffocated. Police are still investigating other factors that could have contributed to his death, including poisoning.
Israel has yet to comment on whether or not it was involved in the killing, although it did issue a statement claiming that Mr Mabhouh played”z central role in smuggling weapons from Iran to Gaza militants”.
In recent years Israel has been linked to the assassination of several Hamas leaders, both inside the Gaza strip, which is controlled by the Islamist movement, and elsewhere in the Middle East.
Any arrest warrant issued against Mr Netanyahu is likely to deal a setback to unofficial efforts to improve relations between Dubai and Israel.

Hopefully the world has had enough of the Israeli government’s assassinations and false terror attacks and the Gaza concentration camp. Some jail time might do Netanyahu some good.
The Israeli government has a history of assassinating Muslims leaders.
Read this intriguing information which indicates that Sharon gave orders to have Arafat poisoned and he received permission from Bush.
Most damning is what now has been revealed by longtime and recently deceased Sharon confidant Uri Dan who published a book in France that may have been his 2006 one titled Ariel Sharon: An Intimate Portrait in which he accused the former prime minister of assassinating Palestinian Authority (PA) President Yasser Arafat by poisoning him.
Dan claimed Sharon got approval from George Bush by phone early in 2004 to proceed with his plan after he told the US president he was no longer committed to “not” liquidating the Palestinian leader who then was under siege and practically incarcerated in what remained of his Ramallah compound, most of which had already been destroyed by the Israelis in a lawless act of retribution against him.

Recently we got a kind of confirmation. Just before he died, Uri Dan, who had been Ariel Sharon’s loyal mouthpiece for almost 50 years, published a book in France. It includes a report of a conversation Sharon told him about, with President (George W.) Bush. Sharon asked for permission to kill Arafat and Bush gave it to him, with the proviso that it must be done undetectably. When Dan asked Sharon whether it had been carried out, Sharon answered: “It’s better not to talk about that.” Dan took this as confirmation.

An Israeli CRIME MINISTER to face charges for murder?
Ha-ha, this isn’t April 1, AKA as “Fools Day,” so it must be the “Half-Hour Comedy Hour.”
Going all the way back to the Jewish invasion of Palestine in the early 20th Century, to the UN declaring Israel to be a state in Palestine in 1948–an act the UN had no authority to perform–to the latest blood soaked Israeli CRIME MINISTER, Nuttyahoo, there are hundreds of thousands of murders committed by the rogue state of Israel… murders commitred w/o fear of justice.
What’s one more vicious murder by that ‘peace’ loving basket case Israel?
Yes, Israel is such a ‘peace’ loving state.
That’s why the IDF is on the border of Lebanon right now, making war like noises and AGAIN threatening to invade.
The only ‘peace’ Israel wants is:
A ‘piece’ of Syria; a ‘piece’ of Jordan; a ‘piece’ of Iraq; a ‘piece’ of Saudi Arabia; a ‘piece’ of Turkey; a ‘piece’ of Egypt; a ‘piece’ of Lebanon and whatever ‘pieces’ are left of Palestine after Apartheid Israel finishes its campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians.
