UK 'breached international law' (allowing US arms flights to Israel to use UK airports) MEGA HURL!!!
BBC ^ | August 22, 2006

The British government could face claims it violated international humanitarian laws by allowing US arms flights to Israel to use UK airports.

The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is seeking permission to contest government bodies over what it says are crimes against the Geneva Convention.

A number of US planes said to be carrying bombs to Israel refuelled in the UK during the Lebanon conflict.

The IHRC said it received complaints from Britons with families in Lebanon.

The commission is accusing the government of "grave and serious violations" of international humanitarian law.

It is seeking permission to bring its case against the Civil Aviation Authority, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Defence Secretary Des Brown in the High Court.

The IHRC said it is bringing the case after receiving "many complaints ... from British citizens whose family members are in Lebanon and facing grave danger as well as acts of terror".

The US aircraft believed to have refuelled in the UK are said to have been carrying supplies including "bunker buster bombs".

International law is basically what countries say it is anyway.

If the UK wants to allow the US to do it, then there is no breach. 'international law' is not a suicide pact =o)

Did these people complain when we shipped a pile of AIM-9 missiles to the Brits during the Falklands War?

They should be lodging a protest against Hezzbollah for the Israeli Arabs killed by unguided rockets shot into civilian population centers.

Iran and Syria are working to replenish weaponry and funding for Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, a London Arabic newspaper reported Monday. The daily al-Sharq al-Awast quoted a senior officer of the Revolutionary Guard in Tehran saying huge quantities of weapons reached Damascus during the last three weeks and are waiting to be transferred to Lebanon. A spokesman for the Iranian foreign ministry, Hamid Rada Asafi, confirmed Sunday "the government is learning the need for aid and ways to transfer it to Lebanon."

Well if this report is true, then I think that all of the bombs on the airplane should be dumped immediately. (I'll let you guys decide where).

Islamonazi lawyers aren't exactly Jew tolerant in the EU are they? The more things change...the more they remain the same. F'em.
