DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

Daily Telegraph (UK).

A judge has thrown out a ‘politically motivated’ attempt to bring a private prosecution against a British-Israeli soldier using Victorian-era law.

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) had tried to get the Westminster magistrates’ court to issue a summons to begin a prosecution against the dual British-Israeli national who served in the Israel Defense Force (IDF).
The group invoked the Foreign Enlistment Act 1870 (FEA), which was enacted in the Victorian era to prevent British nationals from being deployed as mercenaries abroad.

But the court heard that the FEA, as interpreted, does not apply to a dual national serving in the armed forces of his other country.

Successive UK governments have also said the FEA does not apply to British nationals serving in the IDF.
