91. Ashamed
Ana ,   Spain   (01.29.09)
It makes me really ashamed that something like this happens in my country. A tribunal supporting the terrorists, and prosecuting their victims. I suggest Israel file suit against Spain for supporting terrorism.
92. Israel is a terrorist nation
azp ,   spain   (01.29.09)
Yes Israel is terrorist nation
93. no more criticism, but direct hit on head
observer   (01.29.09)
No-one is going to listen to the oppressed people. Jews are going to stop complaining and start to receive blows.
94. Spain IS NOT Zapatero
Javier ,   Valencia Spain   (01.29.09)
Spain, right now a World Guiness Record of unemployment, is in hands of a socialist sectarian government with an usless president called Zapatero. The justice in Spain is one of the less valued institutions by the people, as polls constantly say.The justice & laws need urgent reformations. Everyone is crying out this, including a possible srtike by the judges.Double shameful is to judge conflicts, whatever, out of Spain by a system that is a total disaster. I envy Israel democracy. I'm sorry for us...
95. Spanish court to probe israeli officials
Yossef Ashkenazi ,   Rio de Janeiro, Braz   (01.29.09)
Whow can a judge waist his time in doing such a stupida thing? This is an outrageous demonstration of anti-semitism
96. Spain court Crap
Brod ,   USA   (01.29.09)
Israel can tell this AntiSemite Spain court to go to Hell. When and how did this crap entity appoint itself as Judge, Jury and Prosecutor of Israel? Is this a joke? If not, Spain's government should admonish this crap court from making a fool of itself. No countries have any right to be intruding in the affairs other nations. It is time to stop this kind of nonsense in the West.
97. The Spanish Judge has a brilliant legal mind
Dan ,   USA   (01.29.09)
The Spanish judge is apparently quite creative, possessing a facile legal mind. Perhaps he should allow for the prosecution of the Mossad team that apprehended Adolf Eichmann in 1960. Afterall, if Judge Andreu could allow the assassination of an arch-terrorist of Hamas to be a war crime, could he not do the same for the capture and capital punishment of a former Nazi SS oficer? Why do I sense that Judge Andreu hasn't lost much sleep in recent years over the deliberate suicide bombings and mass murder of Jews who had the great misfortune of choosing the wrong bus or coffee house in Jerusalem?
98. spain has a nasty violent history
meg ,   israel   (01.29.09)
1. conquests of south american countires...the burning and massacres of those people was deplorable, and they had the nerve to carry the cross to justify their actions. It was convert and give us your gold. 2. inquistion. again justifying themselves under religion. Oh dear spain, think again, remember your hero el cid who battled against the moors. now you bow to islam again! oh and another thing, you are a cruel people, killing bulls for entertainment.
99. Reyes de España should also be probed…
Juanito ,   Peru   (01.29.09)
Reyes de España should also be probed… …by Jewish people for alleged barbaric crimes of Inquisition and by Indigenous of America for alleged mass killing committed by Cortes, Pizarro and other Spanish “Conquistadores” granted by their royal ancestors.
100. How about charging Israel for occupying Gaza for 38 year?
Noris   (01.29.09)
101. Antonio in MAdrid:We would NEVER bomb Madrid
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.29.09)
Your islamonazi allies already did that!
102. SPAIN: 3/11 TAUGHT YOU NOTHING. YOU NEED ANOTHER ONE?
Avraham ,   NYC   (01.29.09)
103. #86
Sammy,Israel   (01.29.09)
YNET does quell our opinions! Sometimes in English most of the time in Hebrew,maybe not yours. I will probably be censored again.
104. ONE WORD = EURABIA!
MARINE   (01.29.09)
NON-MUSLIMS SHOULD SAVE EUROPE BECAUSE YOUR POLITICIANS HAVE SOLD YOU OUT TO BIN-LADEN SYMPATHIZERS!
105. Spanish corruption
Luisa ,   Catalunya   (01.29.09)
I live here- I support israel. I think this Spanish judge (court) and the Palestinian groups lawyer are sensing some long drawn out procedures...... money speaks- bribes... Euro signs all over--- it does not matter to the lawyers who wins- they'll get their names in the papers- big time..... they probably don't give a rat's ass for their Palli clients.....they don't care who it is against really. This is perfect timing for opportunists- I would not give this court the time of day- they probably don't even know where Israel is...they are just low lives, the Spanish equivalent of the Mafia....money, money, money, makes the world go round....the economy is in the dumps, so they''ll take any case... this is a waste of taxpayers money- mine! Shame on Madrid!
106. 96. Brod
Ana ,   Spain   (01.29.09)
I am sure our dis-government is applauding the judge’s decision. What can you expect from a government who criticises Israel for defending itself and killing terrorists? Why don’t you Americans give us the normal Spaniards a hand? Please get Obama to declare Spain a rogue state and send us the marines and the 7th of cavalry.
107. 90. Marco : On Nazis
Ana ,   Valladolid, Spain   (01.29.09)
Nazis are Hamas and those who support the attacks on Israel and the murder of Jews. Zapatero is a nazi, his entire cabinet is made up of nazis, those voting for them are Nazis. BTW, they are friends with terrorists at home and abroad. They have accords with the Eta terrorists. And they have helped Hamas. When this Islamonazi gang was running in elections, the foreign minister Moratinos gave them some million euros and offered his help for the campaign. As soon as the islamonazis won the elections, the Spanish government gave them more money. Moratinos said that Spain did not care about who ruled Gaza, in spite of the boycott declared by the EU.
108. 26. Basqueland
Ana ,   Spain   (01.29.09)
You are a liar. The Basques have always been Spanish. The Basque terrorists cannot deprived all the other Spaniards of a part of their territory. As for the palestinians, it is them who had never wanted a state. Its goal is the destruction of israel, as stated in the terrorists’ charter. And you are against the jews’ self-determination and for the nazijihadists murdering them.
109. Ben-Eliezer has to sacrifice himself for the Jewish glory
observer   (01.29.09)
Aryeh Yitzhaki of Bar Ilan University, who had worked in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) history department, said in an August 1995 interview with Israel Radio that a reconnaissance unit, known as Shaked (Almond), headed by Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, had killed hundreds of Egyptians who had abandoned their weapons and fled into the desert during the 1967 war. Yitzhaki said he had investigated six or seven separate incidents, in which approximately 1,000 unarmed Egyptian prisoners of war had been killed by IDF units. The mission of those magnificent people must not stop and opt to only serve a rotten apple.
110. ISRAEL SHOULD DO LIKEWISE
ROLAND ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.29.09)
SET UP INTERNATIONAL COURT IN ISRAEL.THERE ARE PLENTY OF CUSTOMERS THAT NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO BOOK IN THE WORLD.,E.G SPAIN AND BASQUES,TURKEY AND KURDS,SYRIA AND ISRAEL,GAZA AND ISRAEL. .A RESPONSE TO THE DISCRIMINATION THAT JEWS AND ISRAEL HAVE UNDERGONE WHICH HAS PRODUCED OUR JUSTIFIABLE PERSECUTION COMPLEX DESERVES A VIGOROUS COUNTER ATTACK..SINCE EVERY ODD PERSON IN ISRAEL IS A LAWYER,WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A SHORTAGE OF CASES. FOR ADJUDICATION.WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?LET"S HAVE NO REDUNDANCIES IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION SO LET"S GET ON WITH IT !
111. take it easy, just joking around...
atilla karagözoğlu   (01.29.09)
112. El Sr. Fernando Andrew, su un monstruo antisemita puerco feo
Maxime Levy ,   Portland, USA   (01.29.09)
Mr. Fernando Andrew, Please take a deep look at your countries bloody history. You have no morale ground to stand on. Israel should take you to the international court of Geneva for all the crimes you have commited against the Jewish people and the Moroccan people. I would like to see the day, when your country will give back to Morocco all the land you have stolen and annexed by the use of force and destruction. Spain is not above the international law. Justice will be done against your bloody history.
113. Spanis morality
Naftali   (01.29.09)
How interesting that a country that murdered its Jews (and Arabs) burned our people alive to cheering crowds of Catholics and stole all our posessions and then comitted genocide against the natives in the countries they conquered now dares preach morality to us!
114. How to avoid war to the extent possible
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (01.29.09)
This situation shows that global anti-Semitism is a factor that Israel must always take into account. When Israel successfully defends itself against an enemy, the anti-Semites blame it for doing so. That's just one reason Israel needs to avoid war fighting. And do to that . . . it needs to maintain security control of the territories--to prevent conditions from developing that will lead to open conflict.
115. War Crimes Trials Are Coming isreal
me ,   earth   (01.29.09)
Try them in court then execute them for war crimes. A good lesson for isreal to learn. A lesson that has been long in coming. Maybe then isreali's will learn to live peacefully with their neighbors and stop causing wars
116. #90 Children of the Spanish Inquisition.
Massouda ,   Monte Carlo, Monaco   (01.29.09)
#90 What do you expect from the "children of the Spanish Inquisition." Their economy is now sinking.
117. As a spanish, I apologise for this stupid judge
Fran ,   Spain   (01.29.09)
As a spanish, I apologise for this stupid judge, and I encourage relatives of people wounded or killed by Hamas attacs to bring a criminal complaint agaist Hamas leathers (and Siria and Iran leathers for the economic aid to a terrorist group) before this spanish judge.
118. bring them to
spain citizen ,   US   (01.30.09)
Marbia for vacation ..they will be all arrested in the airport .. especially the pilot ....i want him to tell the jury what he feels ...
119. Israel Alone?
Laura   (01.30.09)
Yes atilla the hun, that is because superior people do not have friends, they are envied. That's fine, because if everyone liked us, that means we would just be ordinary and mediocre or even pathetic, pitiful losers like your people are. That is why everyone hates America too, because of our greatness.
120. enough talking israelis
francesa   (01.30.09)
you do enough of it... all this "indict spain and [insert any country who does not allow israel to do what it likes here] for their crimes" (and probably throwing "anti-semitic" or "self-hating jew" in there somewhere) and no action. if you think you have a case to bring, bring it. hamas, hezbullah, whatever. MAKE legal precedent, dont just talk about how the world is against you. you just sound like kicked dogs. get off your ass and do something about it. im so sick of reading laptop commandos giving their opinion on things from the comfort of their own homes (or offices judging by the time a lot of the talkbacks are entered).if you all have so much time to read these stories, surely you can put that time to better use by making some sort of counter-legal action. im awaiting more meaningless words and possibly some post that mentions gilad shalit or qassam rockets.
