Well, Tony Blair’s government may be engaging militant Islam; taking advice from raging anti-Semites, homophobes and misogynists; considering ending the UK’s holocaust observance; and declining to deport radicals. But, finally, we see there are some “extremists” the Brits are anxious to take action against: generals from the Israeli Defense Forces. An alert reader notes this, from yesterday’s Jerusalem Post:

International law experts warned Monday that IDF generals should not visit England, Germany, Spain and several other European countries since they are in danger of being arrested and being tried for war crimes.
On Sunday, Maj.-Gen. (res.) Doron Almog – former OC Southern Command – evaded arrest at Heathrow Airport in London after he was warned not to disembark from an El Al flight because British detectives were waiting to arrest him. The arrest warrant had been issued on Saturday by the Bow Street Magistrate’s Court at the request of a pro-Palestinian Muslim group.
The warrant, reportedly the first of its kind issued in Britain on war crimes charges, alleged that Almog in 2002 had ordered the demolition of 59 Palestinian homes in Rafah.
Almog said in a Channel One interview that he and his wife were going to England to participate in a fundraiser for Alei Negev, an organization that builds homes for children with disabilities.
Minutes after landing, he recalled Monday, a stewardess conveyed to him a message from the captain asking him to wait on the plane. The military attach [sic] at the Israeli embassy arrived after a short time and, following consultations with IDF Judge Advocate General Brig.-Gen. Avi Mandelblit, Almog decided to remain on board and to return to Israel immediately.
“If an IDF officer goes to England today there is a chance they will be arrested,” said Irit Kahn, former head of the Justice Ministry’s International Affairs Department. “It depends on the country and their laws. Britain has a wide universal legal system similar to Spain and Germany. While not all countries are like this, one needs to be careful.”

If only General Almog had torched a synagogue, he’d probably be fine galloping through Europe. BTW, the European Union is one of the “Quartet partners” Secretary of State Rice mentioned yesterday with whom she is working to “strive to advance the President’s vision of two states living side by side in peace and security.”
