In Britain today, hating Israel has become a valid criminal defense. Last week five people charged with destroying property valued at some $225,000 at the EDO MBM arms factory in Brighton during a January 2009 break-in were found not guilty of all charges. They were found innocent although all five admitted to having committed the crime.
| And they were following the direction of the presiding judge, who was so concerned about the poor, suffering Gazans, despite the fact that the miscreants punished a company for something it hadn't done -- the company does not happen to sell its product to Israel. Innocence is no excuse to people like that. |
