London police raided a hotel to arrest Livni
As it turns out, when opposition leader and former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was (supposed to be) in London last December, the British police raided a hotel to try to arrest her. Tami Shor, deputy director-general of Israel's Water Authority, visited London in December 2009 after being invited to deliver a speech at a conference in the city. Her only resemblance to Livni appears to be her hair color and blue eyes.Heh. I wonder if Tami Shor can act. Maybe there's a future for her on Saturday Night Live. You know, like Tina Fey and Sarah Palin....
But a Palestinian organization, convinced that this woman was the Israeli opposition leader, asked a local court to issue an arrest warrant against her for alleged war crimes committed during the Israeli operation in Gaza. The court was told that Livni was staying at the Hendon Hall Hotel in northern London.
A police force, armed with an arrest warrant, raided the hotel. The policemen searched for Livni, but couldn't find her for a simple reason: She was indeed slated to visit London and attend the conference with the Water Authority deputy director-general, but had canceled the visit two weeks earlier.
However, her name was not deleted from the list of participants, and the organizers failed to announce that she won't be attending in order to draw more people to the event.
The police, who thought Livni was hiding, searched for her throughout the hotel but couldn't find her. Their next step was to demand that the hotel provide them with the security camera footage with the hopes of tracing her, but the opposition leader was nowhere to be found. A thorough investigation revealed that she had never arrived in Britain.
Tami Shor confirmed the details of the report.

I don't see any major Israeli figure visiting London any time soon.
The UK/Met Police now think with their backsides.
At this moment and since last night, muslims have been allowed to roam Dudley, UK in armed gangs, attacking local people, without let or hindrance from the police. The EDL(who I support) are demonstrating against the building of £18 million mosque, largest in UK. Half that money is coming from UK Gov.
All quite "symbolic" a time worn method, wouldn't you say?
I truly believe in varying degrees of inherent antisemitism. There is no other reason for such absurdities as this.
Darn, they missed!
shy guy....whatever.
The same excuse was used by the Nazi's and those before the Nazi's and the ones before those.
Matter of fact, I heard the same thing lobbed toward me many times in my life time.
From now on, Israel should list it's full cabinet as attending any conference in England....
It will cause total confusion to the Government of England, it's courts and cost them (both England and the Palestinians/islamists) thousands of hours of legal fees...
Make them WASTE man power and time...
@ What is "Occupation".....
Yeah! I love it! : )
