Israel halts 'dialogue' with UK over war crimes law

UK and Palestine sign the first treaty between the two nations

This agreement is the first ever bilateral treaty between the two nations and will lead to the sharing of ideas, knowledge and skills, helping stimulate productivity in both film industries.

Ermmm....two nations? Has Britain effectively just recognised Palestine?

Nice one UK Gov! Some actual backbone on this contentious issue, rather than relentless pandering to the Israeli lobby.

Jumping Jihadis Infinite, my diplomatic retaliation-y sense is tingling.

I can imagine William Hague this morning, "Hmm guys, what would be the best way to piss off those pesky Israelis?"

There is really no justice. The country that played an instrumental role in the establishment of Israel is now so diminished on the global stage by this recent banking trouble, Israel clearly considers it no longer has to care what the UK thinks.

One can only hope the large amounts of taxpayer money that keep that welfare country in existence and give it the weapons to commit these warcrimes with will also come under the auspices of cuts and austerity.

There are significant cost savings to be realised by cutting Israel lose and letting them fend for themselves.

If US stopped giving Israel billions of dollars in aid and unconditional support, Israel wouldn't be so cocky.

Well spotted, infinite. I hope that's what it means. In any case this looks like a brilliant move. I'm glad the Brit Gov didn't allow itself to be cowed by Netanyahu's 'anti-semitic' comments earlier this year. Nice try, Israel, but it didn't wash.

Brilliant, we need more countries doing this. and...no wonder Israel is p.....d off. Yes! Nice one!
