UK activists sue Israel over raid on Gaza-bound flotilla
A group of British activists has filed a lawsuit against Israeli troops over a 2010 attack on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla that left 10 Turkish activists dead.
Lawyers of the activists have asked Scotland Yard to open a probe into the incident to find whether Israeli special forces committed war crimes.
The lawyers, representing 13 of the 34 Britons on the Turkish-flagged MV Mavi Marmara, want the Israeli soldiers, who participated in the deadly attack, in the UK to face prosecution.
Five Israeli military commanders have been accused of war crimes, according to evidence passed to the Metropolitan Police.
Lawyer Rodney Dixon QC said it was “not possible to extradite the Israeli commanders allegedly responsible,” adding, however, that “if they travel here and the police have sufficient evidence, they could arrest them and they can be prosecuted here.”
“Some have traveled to the UK before and we’ve provided that information and have asked the police to monitor the situation. At this stage we have filed the complaint with the police and requested they work as quickly as possible,” he said.

The only Court TV this one will be carried on is British Wankervision.
Perhaps the dumb-ass British activists should not have tried running a known and enforced naval blockade?
Try running a naval blockade and you're gonna get your head handed to you on a platter.
Generally speaking, there are more British kissers of Arab-Muslim ass than Americans, but neither country really has much use for them, in general, nor Palestinians, in particular.
The lawyers representing 13 of 34 Britons on the Turkish-flagged MV Mavi Marmara can piss and moan and "want" to their little heart's desire.
Doesn't mean that Scotland Yard won't courteously listen to their request, thank them for their time, escort them off the premises, then laugh their asses off at the little wankers.
Wake us up when you've got something.
