61. New Court in Brussels
Russell ,   Manchester, England   (02.22.08)
Not a word about the rockets fired at Sderot - its sounds like a typical European anti-Israel court
62. #56 I agree with you
observer   (02.22.08)
those how derived the bombers mad to commit suicide are criminal.
63. Belgian court ?
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.22.08)
A court ? Those are PRIVATE people , most likely pro palestinians , the same people who wanted Sharon to be indicted in a TRUE Belgian court . This court has NOTHING official .
64. #56 I agree with you
observer   (02.22.08)
those how derived the bombers mad to commit suicide are criminal.
65. These europeans are disgusting...
Esteban ,   ARgentina   (02.22.08)
Not a wrod about the Palis and their terror mentality. Israel, stay strong we love you!
66. All criminals
Christopher ,   austin, america   (02.22.08)
need to be brought to justice, and the governments of Israel and America have some awful criminals and organizations which have usurped power.
67. To # 60 anonymous , Bagolan
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.22.08)
Did you look at those articles ? What did they say ? Belgian authorities collaborated ...., yes , some did it . The mayor of Antwerp is one of them . But the Brussel's mayors REFUSED to collaborate in the distribution of the yellow stars . If , as one of the three "references" claim , half of the Belgian Jews were murdered , it's also so that half of Belgian Jews were saved . And in many cases , even in Antwerp , by authorities , and people with official responsabilities [ google Yvonne Nevejean ]
68. Observer # 47
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.22.08)
The Belgian Parlement changed the law . If someone was living in a democratic country , with a correct and honest justicial system , accusations of war crimes against him would be transferred to this country , so that he can be judged there . This was the case for Arik Sharon .
69. Rich , if you don't know , shut up
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.22.08)
Sure that they know what language they speak . Flemish in the north , French in the south , and German near the German border .
70. European NGOS
Martin Aubut ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (02.22.08)
I think that former colonists used and continue to use NGOS for stealing the world. The worst is they will probably finish to pay... Eurabia...
71. Charles from Petach Tikva...I think you need ...
Rich ,   Raanana   (02.22.08)
..to take a break from these talkbacks...youre getting too uptight about this belguim court. Either you have family there or you must be a left wing nut yourself.
72. JUST ANOTHER STUNT: "DO-GOODER" GRANDSTANDING
Scott   (02.22.08)
This stupidity should be ignored , if at all possible. We've all got better things to do ...even if that's only doing talkback :-)
73. Another Kanagroo Court
MCW ,   Bernardsville USA   (02.23.08)
Why doesn't israel set up a Human rights and war crimes court and name not only Arabs, but Europeans for supporting terrorism and anti-semitism. And since when should the State of Israel abide by those nations that have a history of murdering Jews! Europe as well as the Arabs have plenty to answer for.
74. War Criminals are War Criminals, and All Must Face Justice
Long Arm of The Law   (02.23.08)
Many Israeli leaders and IDF members are already wanted war criminals and will eventually be brought to justice for their crimes, but there are many more that still need to be charged for their crimes and international warrants issued for their arrest. I applaud Belgium for its efforts to bring to justice those who thus far escaped punishment for their crime. And in regards to Palestinian criminals, Israel has been killing off suspected Muslim criminals without any trials for decades, so I doubt that Israelis would allow a legal judicial process to interfere with their largely indiscriminate wholesale killings, so there is no need for the court to concern itself with those matters right now.
75. new court
ira ,   delray beach usa   (02.23.08)
have the court have all their sessioons in SEDERDT.l !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! end
76. Court
Justin ,   Us   (02.23.08)
This is NOT a court at all. It is created to court propaganda. It has no government authority. The headline is wrong. It is a mock court. Is ISM involved ?
77. human?
jeremy ,   Redding, USA   (02.23.08)
Clearly the Israelites are not human in the mind of this court or the palestinians. school is in session: http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?collectionId=1296&galleryName=24%20Hours#a=2
78. Liberalism
Terrance ,   Costa Mesa, Ca. USA   (02.23.08)
"Liberalism," as American conservative talk show host Michael Savage says, is a mental disorder." Leftist groups posing under the guise of "humanitarian civil rights groups" find a willing ear in liberal Brussels courts. What do you think there in Brussels---that Israel wants innocent people to suffer? Of course they don't! Don't you realize that Israel has no choice but to defend itself ? Why don't you consider that the real cause of suffering in the region is the muslim world's refusal to accept that Israel has the right to exist.
79. Rich , i know about what i'm talking ,
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.23.08)
not you apparently . I'm always objective and see the things as they are . This is not a "court" . We can also install such one , without any official recognition .
80. To # 74 outlaw
charles ,   petach tikva   (02.23.08)
They are wanted ? There are accusations against them , made by so called human rights groups , aka , palestinian and muslim extremists . Israel killed without trial ? before bringing someone to justice , you have to arrest him . But if he refuses to surrender and begins to shoot ,...And you're right by calling them palestinian criminals , that's what they are .
81. To #74 " Your Long Arm ..short on brains ; loaded with bias"
Scott   (02.23.08)
Give it away mate. The world is POLARISED over the Israel vis-a-vis Pals. You'll never get a quorum. So shut the phuque up and go and find some truly oppressed ,truly innocent people who need your help.
82. Court needs some rockets for clarity.
Petra ,   usa   (02.23.08)
Let them live in Sderot for a few weeks and THEN make a 'ruling'.
83. WAR CRIME ACCUSATIONS
Zapata ,   Gates, Oregon   (02.23.08)
IF THE UNITED NATIONS TOUCHES ANYTHING IT TURNS ME OFF! THIS IS THE WORLDS MOST INEFFECTIVE CORRUPT POLITICAL ORGANIZATION ON EARTH AND THAT IS WHY MY COLLEAGUES AND I WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO INSURE THAT CLINTON NEVER GETS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
84. Arab funding
David ,   CA   (02.23.08)
With high oil prices, the Arabs have a lot of money to fund these human rights investigations. Who else would be underwriting the expenses of housing participants, paying for travel of witnesses, leasing the conference room, etc. Israel just doesn't have the money to put on these kinds of shows.
85. Court lambasts Israel
patriot ,   USA   (02.24.08)
Great, a hippy court founded by supposed human rights group wants to take on Israel for so-called war crimes. How about then also charging Palestinians for all the rocket attacks on civilians? Or China for their blatant human rights violations? How about the darfur situation? How about the slaughter of christians and gay children in Iran? No, this is just another anti-Jewish propogandist group trying to do away with the state of Israel any way they can.
86. WAR CRIMES
MIKE T. ,   TEXAS   (02.24.08)
THIS IS JUST MORE MUSLIM B.S. RHETORIC-HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING HEZBOLA & HAMAS DOES IS A WAR CRIME!!! WHAT IS ISREAL SUPPOSED TO DO? JUST TAKE IT? NO WAY! THEN THEY WOULD INTENSIFY THEIR ATTACK DUE TO A SHOW OF WEAKNESS. THEY ALREADY SAID THEY WANTED TO WIPE ISREAL OF THE EARTH. THEY SHOULD GIVE ONE WEEKS WARNING TO VACATE THE TERRITORY THROUGH CHECK POINTS, AND THEN WIPE HEZBOLA & HAMAS OF THE GLOBE. THEN LET SYRIA, IRAN, AND NOTH KOREA KNOW THEY BETTER SHIP UP, OR THEY ARE NEXT! IDIOTS ARE RUNNING THE WORLD, AND THE COMMON PEOPLE ARE USELESS CATTLE FOR THE MOST PART! PROUD AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
87. Israel
Richard ,   New York, U.S.A.   (02.25.08)
God Bless Israel and Jerusalem.Gods' Peace,Safety and Comfort be with the Jewish People always.
88. names
HARVEY ,   Lancaster, usa   (02.25.08)

89. Brussels: New court to try Israel for war crimes
D ,   SLC, USA   (02.25.08)

90. human rights sue isreal in court
ardchumhacht ,   los angeles America   (02.25.08)
Good luck to those idiots for stepping into some thing that doesn't concerns them, because they are not the people fighting for their lives. In war, anything goes, "You fight to win."
