A UK judge issued an arrest warrant for Queen Esther, who is due to arrive in London for a speaking tour of British universities.

Tayab Ali, the solicitor who obtained the warrant, told Backspin editor Pesach Benson, "Mordechai and Esther had every right to resist the oppression of Haman's Amalekite regime, but Jewish defensive measures were disproportionate and war crimes did occur." 

A spokesman for Queen Esther condemned the warrant, and reiterated her refusal to meet with a UN commission investigating civil unrest after the collapse of Haman's center-right cabinet.

Media reports, human rights groups, and Amalekite non-governmental organizations say 125,000 people — mostly Amalekite civilians — died in fights with the Jews. Jewish groups dispute this, putting the death toll at 75,000 — all of whom were combatants.

Smiley Happy Purim to all our readers.
