The Israeli government plans to introduce a new law criminalising any Israeli supporters of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which has gathered speed since the Gaza flotilla slaughter.

It's like the Gaza invasion, the endless expansion of settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem and the slaughter on the Gaza aid flotilla never happened. However much Israel breaks international law and commits the most barbarous war crimes, it can rely on the "extraordinary friendship" of Barack Obama.

Congratulations to the EDO decommissioners who, instead of facing jail sentences, have been found not guilty of sabataging a factory supplying arms to Israel, the jury accepting their justification that they were preventing war crimes in Gaza.
