Ehud Barak ordered the ariel bombardment of Gaza in December 2008, leading to 1400 deaths, many of whom were women and children. These actions were described as "war crimes" in the report of Justice Richard Goldstone to the UN. He has since approved the building of hundreds of illegal settlement "units" in the West Bank, breaching international law. He also broke the Geneva convention in 2007 by ordering the siege of 1.5 million Palestinians enclosed behind barbed wire in Gaza, an act of collective punishment.

Labour's Friends of Israel group had invited Barak, to speak at a fringe meeting of the 2009 party conference on 29th September. A protest was organised at short notice to oppose the presence of Barak, who had been given diplomatic immunity from arrest in the UK on charges of war crimes, put by lawyers representing Palestinians.

  • Defender of the free world? ROFL!

    Is that the reason, why he hires Pinochet's ex-lawyer to fight allegations of war crimes?

  • They do say some lawyers have no morals....although the lawyer didn't have to do much work in Barak's case in London. From what I saw about it, the war crimes were never in doubt, so they went straight for the diplomatic imunity.

  • Ehud Barak is a defender of the free world from islamo fasicst, civilian hostage takers..

    period.

  • There's no such thing as "islamo fascist" (note correct spelling) except of course in the minds of certain internet trolls. Fascism is where corporate and nationalist interests combine, eg Mussolini's Italy, Hitler's Germany etc. Nothing to do with Islam, or for that matter any other religion.
