Activist Judge Issues Arrest Warrant For Benjamin Netanyahu


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is once again in the global spotlight after an activist judge in Spain this week chose to defy the International Criminal Court and issue a warrant for his arrest due to his involvement in a 2010 incident where a flotilla bound for Gaza was raided since it was attempting to break past a blockade set up by Israeli troops.

In the May 2010 incident, six ships sailed from Turkey, with the support of an Islamist group, the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, that Israel considers a terrorist organization. The flotilla was also backed by Turkey’s ruling Islamist party.

While Israeli naval commandos boarded five of the six ships without incident, they were met with armed resistance on the main ship, the Mavi Marmara, whose passengers fired guns, threw flash grenades, and attacked Israeli commandoes with knives and bars. In the melee, the passengers took Israeli personnel hostage. The Israeli naval commandos eventually fired back, killing nine “activists.”

One can only see this arrest warrant for Netanyahu as trumped up charges and a distraction from fighting the spread of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East especially considering that many anti-Israel groups have been behind the efforts to arrest Netanyahu and take down the Israel government in the past.
