"a former Israeli foreign minister has been found guilty of war crimes" ---

You use the formula 'found guilty' rather loosely here, Jim. Found guilty by whom? On what evidence and after what procedure? If you mean that a warrant for her arrest if she visited UK was issued by that notable international authority, Westminster Magistrates Court, at the request of a group of impartial, disinterested , and objective - er - Palestinian militants ~~ you should say so. Otherwise, what are you on about, with your "found guilty"? Under our law of innocent-until-proved-guilty, which you have apparently forgotten, a warrant for arrest [subsequently withdrawn in any event when diplomatic protocols were properly re-established] does not by any means constitute a 'finding of guilt', or anything resembling it.
