Battle of the Giants?




HUMAN rights lawyer Michael Mansfield launched an attack on the actions of the Israeli Government after aid boats were boarded by Israeli commandos. The QC revealed that he would have been aboard one of the boats, but he had to cancel because of his appearance at a literature festival.

I am just imagining the righteous indignation that would have followed if said QC had been unceremoniously dragged off the boat and thrown into an Israeli prison. The QC would have quickly found out what the rest of us have known for years.

That the UK and a couple of other European countries are the only ones that take any notice of the Human Rights Act or have similar laws
