Iraq to sue Israel over destroyed reactor    Roee Nahmias
31. Hey Maliki ,You do have some HUTZPACH !
A laugh a minute. By the same token why not sue the US for ridding you of Sadam.You are never going to be a democratic country.it is beyond the comprehension of any like you Arabs typical of your mindset. I am not even going to mention your wish to get reparation. A load of bulshit to you. YOU MALIKI ARE RUNNING out of IDEAS.. A suggestion for you to ponder: We Israelis/Jews need a huge reparation from YOU.!No only for the SCUDS lobbed into my country,but the dispersal & agony the psychologically traumatic inflicted to the families and people. Now go to hell

32. does anyone here realize
that the only damage was one single french scientist killed in a lab during the attack, and the entire reactor demolished. no other casualties as this operation was carried out on a sunday or the sabbath where israel knew there won't be any people working at the reactor during the weekend...how nice of israel to even consider this, ha??? so, the damage is minimal if anything in human life and only the reactor got smashed, thanks god. also, the building of this reactor was against international law and the un standards for nuclear proliferation. it decimated provisions in the npt and iraq was in legal wrong according to the uncs in building this reactor in the first place. how can iraq sue anyone when they themselves didn;t observe the law and resolutions slapped against them and their reactor in the first place? israel, go on laughing and prepare a huge law suit to recover the iraqi jewish refugees stolen property, their killing and hanging by iraqi officials, their real estate and businesses stolen by iraq after 1948, etc... billions and hundreds of billions of dollars can be slapped in this law suit against the iraqis. also, israel has hunbdreds of thousands iraqi jewish exiles to testify in international court and slap a horenduous law suit against iraq. DO NOT OPEN THE PANDORA BOX, IRAQ, BECAUSE THE JEWS WILL GET YOU AT THE END. YOU WILL LOOSE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU HOPED TO GAIN BY THIS INNANE STUPID LAW SUIT. HAMEED ABOUGHAZE, IRANIAN

33. if its through the UN they will win but get no money
If he brings this law suit via the UN he will almost certainly win because when it comes to Israel the UN will always rule against it but winning the case doesn't get the money. Its like when relatives of terror attacks sue groups like Hamas for hundreds of millions of dollars. They win the case but thats all Hamas don't give them any compensation. Saddam might be gone but Iraqs attitude towards Israel is not the nice one the Americans fantasized about its the same Israel hating nation as it ever was.

34. #11 - Sarah
"....and Israel has existential issues with it's neighbors..." A smooth, understated, "diplomatique" take on the matter if ever I heard one, Sarah. You had me grinning on that one. The 'Pandora's Box' reference was a more apt, and appropriate, labeling of ME affairs & topics. Carry on.

35. Iran-Iraq war
Eight years of bitter war against Iran and no claims against Tehran?

36.  In 20 years they will sue the USA for liberating them

37. To: Cameron at No. 34
Why thank you, Cameron. Subtle Sarah blogging today. Raptor Sarah is resting lightly.

38. sue iraq for old deeds

39. #23 - Before you go off in a panic...think
The US only provides military aid to Israel - nothing economic - and the aid is spent inside the US, so it is fair to consider it as govt subsidies to a certain industry, just like farmers. This is not the case with places like Jordan, Egypt, and the "Palestinians" who receive aid with no stipulation on where it is spent. Your tax dollars! In order to sue Israel for damage both Syria and Egypt would have to: 1) explain why it should move forward despite the countries waging war on Israel for no reason, 2) they must define to what extent damage was disproportionate, and is this in today's definition or the definition of 1973, and 3) they must reliquish ALL information on sites hit by Israel as to their real purposes. Calling a weapons factory a "baby food warehouse" won't fly anymore. Like most "shoot from the hip" actions of Arabs, this one will go no where. So you can safely and freely hand your taxes to Obama so he can put them (hee hee) to good use.

40. Iraq! Sue US and UK for invasion first!
Saddam   (01.05.10)
41. UNSCR 487 certainly shows they are entitled...
...to be compensated: "Considers that Iraq is entitled to appropriate redress for the destruction it has suffered, responsibility for which has been acknowledged by Israel;" The vote was unanimous, and the United States also condemned this act of aggression. The reactor was eight months from completion, the IAEA was inspecting and approving, and there was no evidence that Iraq had any intention of making weapons. It does always help to learn the facts before commenting.

42. Let's sue everybody M.S #23 Like for instance:
England sue Germany,Germany sue all the allies for bombing their cities. Oh I nearly forgot...What about Japan? Will they also sue the US for Hiroshima and Nagassaki? The list goes on. But when it is the Arab thugs they think they'd be immune from their delinquent behaviour.And have the audacity to demand (or at least put into motion) for reparations? Iraq is now no better having Maliki than when Sadam was in power. Absolute truth.Still two peas in a pod. Except this one keeps his coffers well hidden from the inspectors.What a hypocritical bastard.

43. #18 Tayfun Effendi & #28
#18,In addition to #28 post....... Turkey has more SINS to pay for. "The effect of the 1942 Varlık Vergisi ("Wealth Tax") was the greatest on non-Muslims - who still controlled the largest portion of the young republic’s wealth - even though in principle it was directed against all wealthy Turkish citizens. The "wealth tax" is still remembered as the "catastrophe" among the non-Muslims of Turkey and it had probably the most detrimental effect on the numbers of the Jewish community. Many people unable to pay the taxes were sent to labor camps and about 30,000 Jews emigrated.[1] The tax was seen as a racist attempt to diminish the economic power of minorities in Turkey.[2] 1.Faik Okte; The tragedy of the Turkish Capital Tax. Kent 1987 2.Ask Ishak Alaton about his family's tragedy with is father being sent to "labor camps" in Askale from where many Jews did not return. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/14/world/europe/14turkey.html?pagewanted=2 Of course you will be held accountable for all this and more. You will have to auction your house and the Topkapi treasures to pay for the moral suffering and material damages. Turkey is a rich country.

45. sue the scuz for scuds
how about the damage from the scuds lobbed in the first gulf war? emotional suffering for the victims. be careful of what you ask for iraq...are you really ready to open up pandora's box?

That's cool. Hang loose, and sharpen them talons. Always another day to swoop down on foolish prey roaming the YNET plains.
Cameron ,   USA   (01.05.10)
47. Israel should sue too
If this is the course that is taken... probably Israel should sue for damages in the war of 1948 when Iraq attached for no reason at all.... With the declarations of Sadam to alienate Israel (just as Iran is saying today)... in conjunction with having nuclear power..it seems to me that it was justified to act upon...and take action....
Tor ,   NZ- Israel   (01.05.10)
48. Iraq to sue Israel over destroyed reactor
Impudent! Israel should instead sue Iraq for... -not paying compensation for confiscated Jewish property when Jews fled the country in 1948! -participating in the attack on it in 1948! -firing 39 Scud-missiles against Tel Aviv etc. during Gulf War I!

49. UN next step call back to life Mr. Saddam
UN in backing everything concerns the Arab world interest this is not a news. How they will react If we starts suing all the heads of the Palestinian Gotha ? They will be promoted on the field from the rang of terrorist to the level of the defender of freedom against the tyranny of the Zionist enemy .

50. Iraqi claim
There should be someone to answer this stupid idiot. I remember, a few years ago, an Egyptian professor claimed to ask all the Jews in the world to repay what the Jews took along with them at "Yetsiat Mitsrayim", and also the interests over 3000 years. An Israeli MK answered him "OK, but let's also calculate 400 years slavery work of 600.000 Jews, and that with interests for over 3000 years. Needless to say we never heard of this donkey again. Can't anyone today stand up, and answer the same kind to this illiterate ass ? Why doesn't the world answer how happy they were Israel did the job ? Why ?....

51. Iraq is a Tentacle of Iran
Iraq is behaving as a tentacle of Iran. If Western Policymakers were smart, they would have backed the formation of Kurdistan as an independent country as a counterweight to the belligerent states in the region, namely, Iran, Turkey, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

52. Tor New Zealand@47 Who's going to sue whom?/
Dear Tor,indeed did we not do a marvelous job in stopping Sadam before they had acquired the nukes ha? Imagine that now Iran is trying so hard to obtain its nuclear capability (that in effect may already have them)? Still we Israelis/Jews beat them to the punch.Wouldn't you say. As a matter of fact I am pleased that Maliki brought the subject up.It makes me more proud than ever how our brilliant Secret Services conducted it with such an astounding effort and lo,and behold the world(tho'outwardly chastised) Israel,they tickled pink in seeing what we had done. No,no Tor,we will resort to childish games by suing them.No need whatever for Israel to descend to their level. Just ignore them until they leave with their tails between their legs whining like little mice.

53. To @ 8... I'll tell you Bloodyscot..
Firstly once bitten twice shy--as the saying goes. So they would not particularely with the US breathing down their necks as it is. It ain't going to happen.You may wish it,but no chance in million s will they ever,even try. Still,you are merely conjecturing by supposing they might. Chances are so THIN ON THE GROUND it is a ridiculous assumption.What with Ahmedineidiot trying it without success makes the whole thing redundant. Thinking cap on B.Scot

54. Arabs
Arabs living in Egypt has nothing to do with ancient egyptians. Same thing about ALL arabs living outside of arab penninsula ! They conquered those lands in 7th century, killing off native populations and destroying cultures.
Conker ,   Israel   (01.05.10)
55. CORRECTION TO TOR @47
I meant we WILL NOT RESORT to childish games. NOT IS THE OPERATIVE WORD.

56. Sue Iraq for damage done during Operation Desert Storm

57. Might I Suggest Filing In Washington DC or Detroit
Use the Federal Court system-Obama will pay your fees and your lawyers, and the jury of your peers will probably be most sympathetic to your noble cause. Of course once you get your guilty verdict, I'm not certain how you go about collecting, but call my buddy Jimmy Carter, you know, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, and I'm sure he can assist. Watch out Zionist entity, you are in for deep, deep trouble! This is really serious stuff.

58. Sued for saving the world!
So they are going to sue Israel for preventing one of the cruellest mass muderers of the 20th century from getting his hands on a nuclear weapon! You couldn't make this up!
Zak ,   London   (01.06.10)
59. Saddam ?
This it the most stupid thing I ever here, so is like that ,so kuwait need to sue Iraq to for the invasion and the genocide against the Kurd, so Al-Maliki think back and the only one to sue here is Saddam was his government...
Pro Soldier ,   San Juan P.R.   (01.06.10)
60. spent a dollar to save a penny
after 4,000 dead American servicemen, and over $ 500 billion spent, the real reason for invading Iraq is now realized. All this sacrifice is to give Iraq the wherewithal to file a lawsuit against Israel for damages inflicted on a nuclear reactor.
