LONDON - The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) are urging the British government to arrest Israeli leader Ariel Sharon for war crimes when he arrives in London on Sunday for his first working visit to the UK.
"The UK should treat Sharon for what he is and put him on trial as a war criminal," a PSC spokesman told IRNA Thursday. He said that it was well documented that he has "blood on his hands."
The Israeli leader is due to have dinner with Prime Minister Tony Blair at his office on Monday evening, when the PSC has arranged to hold a picket in protest against the government “welcoming a war criminal.”
Sharon is also holding talks with Foreign Secretary Jack Straw before flying to Norway on Wednesday, where similar protests are being held.
The Norway Post reported Thursday that Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik's talks with Israeli leader Ariel Sharon will be held in his home town of Molde on the northwest coast of Norway.
The decision not to hold the talks in Oslo follows the Norwegian left-wing Red Electoral Alliance (RV) sending a formal request to the country's Director of Public Prosecutions for Sharon to be arrested upon his arrival.
RV leader Torsein Dahle has accused the Israeli leader of being guilty of a range of war crimes dating from 1953, when he led the forces to blow up 45 Palestinians houses in Qibya, killing 69 people, including women and children.
Sharon is more notoriously known for leading the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and for being responsible for the 1982 massacre of more than 2,000 Palestinian refugees in Sabra an Shatila camps when he was Defence Minister.
The Norway Post reported that Sharon would arrive in Molde in the morning of July 16 and leave again in the late afternoon after talks on the Middle East peace process.
It said that the Israeli leader would have time for sightseeing in the scenic city.

Be careful, Israeli nuclear strike on London would be no problem

You must bear in mind that Israel has more nuclear warheads than the UK (200-500), medium range missiles probably capable of reaching London, cruise missiles and three modern german-built submarines, specially adapted with a nuclear launch capability. And almost certainly a sophisticated biological/chemical warfare capability ready for immediate deployment.
This is enough to constitute a real threat to our survival, and gives them serious deterrent protection against the consequences of their crimes.
This threat is a nice present to Western Europe from the USA, with a bit of help from the French.

When europe finally wakes up to the fact that it has a nuke powered rogue state for an nieghbour run by the most fanatical bunch of pirates on the planet. Shit will hit but anyway it's already too late to do anything.
They got the best / worst, depending which way you look at it , propaganda machine in the world. You can bet your bollox that they will have the best rockets to deliver the goods.
At some stage of the game we are gonna have their mis sile's pointing right at us.
it's pretty clear who the nu nazis are just a question of how far they want to go with their plans, they have the military capabilities and plenty of yankkkee dollars ..
