The Palestine Legislative Council is moving ahead with a law that will permit placing �Israeli war criminals� on trial in a Palestinian Authority court.

It appears the PA is taking its lead from the European community, which has in a number of cases prevented senior IDF officers from visiting England, Belgium and other countries for fear of being placed on trial for �war crimes against the Palestinian people.�

In one case, former IDF Southern Commander Major-General Doron Almog was compelled to remain on a plane after landing in England, when he learned from an Israeli diplomatic official that if he disembarked he would be placed under arrest.
