It may be a very long road to justice and therefore peace, but each footstep is it's own marker. This issue could be a giant leap.

At the heart of it is Britain, as a signatory to the Fourth Geneva Convention (and especially considering Article 146 -  http://www.icrc.org/IHL.nsf/COM/380-600168?OpenDocument) has a binding obligation to ensure that those criminals, of the caliber represented by Livni et al, are bought to justice, as in:

"The Contracting Parties shall be under the obligation to search
for persons charged with breaches of the present Convention, whatever
their nationality. They shall further, in accordance with their
national legislation or with the Conventions for the repression of
acts considered as war crimes, refer them for trial to their own
courts, or hand them over for judgment to another Contracting Party."

This is simple and clear.

There is no room for fudge and prevarication.

Thus:

Being in breech of contracted obligations, Milliband stands accused by definition of a criminal act in itself because of the position in government he holds. This act goes by the name TREASON.

This is the correct and specific legal term.

Can some one please post a source for the claim that Milliband has family living in illegal settlements?

Look - we've dug up someone who still takes Gilad Atzmon seriously.

The problem is that the MPs themselves are war criminals because of the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan. What can be said to people like that???

I've never heard of Gilad Atzmon, but looking at his Wikipedia entry:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Atzmon
I see he's an Israeli-born, formerly secular Jewish, British professional jazz musician, very famous in jazz circles, and quite outspokenly opposed to Zionism and some aspects of Judaism.

Here's his personal website:  http://www.gilad.co.uk/

What specifically is the problem with him? From a brief scanning of his website he appears to be pretty sane and rational, and not a ranting neo-fascist lunatic. He does seem to be very opposed to Zionism and the Israeli establishment, but then what's wrong with that?

I won't link to a source because most of them seem to be neo-Nazi or other dodgy sites but you can Google the text if you want. Also I think the Jewish Chronicle allows you to download one edition or article free if you want to check this is accurate to the source:

David Miliband denies visiting family in West Bank settlement

By Bernard Josephs and Simon Griver Tel Aviv

The Jewish Chronicle, 22/11/2007


A report that Foreign Secretary David Miliband took time out to dine with relatives at a Jewish settlement in the West Bank threatened to overshadow his visit to the region this week.

The report, strenuously denied, was broadcast on Israeli Army Radio and comes in the run-up to the Annapolis peace summit next Tuesday. The British government has made clear its opposition to the building of settlements in the occupied territories, and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has pledged a settlement freeze.

A spokesman for the British embassy said that, although Mr Miliband had relatives in Israel, he dined with them in Tel Aviv. “The Foreign Minister was in Jericho on Saturday to meet Palestinian Authority leaders. He certainly was not at any West Bank settlements.”

One of the relatives, David Landau, an insurance agent, said he was at the Tel Aviv dinner. “We are very proud of the Milibands, even if we do not always agree with their political positions on Israel,” he said.

Mr Landau added that most of Mr Miliband’s relatives in Israel are Orthodox, including some West Bank settlers. “But he has no direct connection with them,” he insisted. Both British and Israeli officials declared that Mr Miliband’s visit — the first since he became Foreign Secretary — had been productive.

Atzmon has been a major source of controversy on Indymedia UK. See for example this article:
 https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2008/02/392188.html

The article that ignited the controversy is no longer on IMC UK, but can be read here:

Another take on the controversy can be read here:

And a response to that article here:
 https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/05/399412.html?c=on

The debate still rages on other sites. See for example this recent thread from the media lens message board:

 http://members5.boardhost.com/medialens/msg/1258912901.html

Quite a few anti-Zionists have gotten sick of Atzmon's use of anti-Jewish stereotypes and have concluded that he's an outright anti-Semite. See for example

which is a page from the leader of the AUP's effort to academically boycott Israel.

And then there's that whole Holocaust denial thing. Google "atzmon holocaust denial" and here are the first four links:

Petition your local war criminals to stop their allied war criminals in Israel.


Genius!
