Sylvain Lavoie recalls earlier episodes of Israeli connivance with British authorities in criminal acts, Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Israeli guns, Airport dramas FURTHER to the matter of the Israeli war criminal who refused to leave his aircraft at Heathrow, and the accompanying title of the article, "one law for them." I am reminded of a conversation I had many years ago, in 1991, with a former member of the British Police. He was not associated with Scotland Yard; He was associated with a police service outside of London - possibly Thames Valley Police Services. He was from Yorkshire, and had served in the army prior to becoming a policeman. He recalled to me, and I cannot recall how the conversation came up, an occasion when he was required to attend to an transfer of prisoners (Arabs), from the UK to Israel. I assume the incident occurred in the 1970's. There were five of these persons, they were conveyed, I believe it was to Heathrow, and brought directly to an EL-AL airplane standing on the terminal apron ("the ramp" as it is phrased in North America). According to him, he and his colleagues knew that the prisoners whom they were handing over, quietly and without media publicity, to the Israelis, were going to be killed. And the persons directly involved in the handover also were aware of what fate awaited them. He may even have intimated that they may even have been killed while the aircraft was in flight. I cannot comment on this aspect however. He also observed to me that these sorts of transfers had occurred before. I don't believe he attended at another; but he certainly remembered this one. And seemed to indicate that his fellow officers were, at times, also "seconded" to attend at these curious "black operations." I recall that the "Nazis" were excoriated for their apparent "protocol" of prisoner "conveyancings" primarily members of the Resistance who were mustered under the rubric Nacht und Nebel, "Night and Fog - no return," and vanished without trace. It seems that the Israeli's had their own version of the "Night and Fog" procedure. And probably still do. The current references to prisoner "renditions" seem to possess a certain "resonance" with regard to what this individual witnessed in Britain in the 1970's or 1980's. One law for them. Indeed.
