Should David Miliband legislate against war crimes warrants for Israeli politicians?

On the contrary, as Colonel Richard Kemp has been widely reported as stating, the IDF acted with incredible restraint; far more restraint than any army in history. The action itself was forced upon Israel due to the relentless, 8 year barrage of missiles from Gaza into Southern Israel, what other Western Civilised Country would have put up with this behaviour from a neighbouring Country for 8 years? Israel only targetted combatants in Gaza, areas hiding combatants, areas giving shelter to combatants and areas storing weaponry for combatants. There will always be collateral dmagae in any warfare scenario. Israel, according to Col Kemp , kept this to an absolute minimum, even to the point of risking Israeli soldiers lives.  
Is America doing this in Afghanistan?  
Is Britain doing this in Afghanistan? 
There is NO Prima Facie or any other type of Case for Israeli ministers to answer for in the UK or anywhere else. 
For how much longer does the Attorney General need to discuss this? What is the problem? The problem is the incesent lobbying from the Pro-Palestinain terrorist cabal in the UK and the politicians like Jack Straw who, with a very large Moslem population in their constituencies are scared to act and with the General Election looming this problem has been exascerbated. 
 
However, Public Record? The biased Goldstone Report has now been discredited and no longer has any credibility. This is now a matter of Public Record. 
 
For Israeli politicians, members of the only Democracy in the Midddle East to be threatened by and risk the prospect of legal action by a supposed ally - the UK - is outragious and cannot be justified. 

There would appear to be a prima facie case against former and/or present Israeli ministers, of authorising the commission of war crimes against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, a year ago, in which hundreds of children were killed by the IDF.

However, the Attorney General is now reported as discussing an amendment to British law that would give her the ability to block the arrest of Israelis politicians, travelling to the United Kingdom, who are alleged to have committed war crimes, but would not block action against Nazi war criminals, Afghan war lords or fugitives alleged responsible for genocide. This apparently in an attempt to placate Israeli politicians who fear war crimes prosecutions if they visit Britain.

The government opinion being that whilst genuine war criminals should be brought to justice, the British justice system should be prevented from being manipulated for political ends.

However, it is a matter of public record that the UN Fact-Finding Mission led by Justice Richard Goldstone released its report on the Gaza conflict, in September last, in which it concluded that 'there is evidence indicating serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law were committed by Israel during the Gaza conflict, and that Israel committed actions amounting to war crimes, and possibly crimes against humanity'.

"The mission concluded that actions amounting to war crimes and possibly, in some respects, crimes against humanity, were committed by the Israel Defense Force (IDF)."

"The mission finds that the conduct of the Israeli armed forces constitute grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention in respect of wilful killings and wilfully causing great suffering to protected persons and as such give rise to individual criminal responsibility," the report's executive summary said. "It also finds that the direct targeting and arbitrary killing of Palestinian civilians is a violation of the right to life."

It went on to criticize the "deliberate and systematic policy on the part of the Israeli armed forces to target industrial sites and water installations," and the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields.

On the objectives and strategy of Israel's military operation, the mission concluded that military planners deliberately followed a doctrine which involved "the application of disproportionate force and the causing of great damage and destruction to civilian property and infrastructure, and suffering to civilian populations."

The criminal acts to which the report refers are assumed to have been authorised by the ministers of the then Israeli government but it would appear that the British government is considering amending UK law to allow such persons immunity from prosecution on British soil. That cannot be justified.
