31. Will they also arrest themselves for the occupation of
Da dude   (08.08.06)
Spanish sahara that Morocco has so brutally done?
32. To #24 Zack - Canada
David ,   Karmiel   (08.08.06)
Good advice from a Canadian whose country once had a policy of "Jews, dogs and blacks" not allowed. A country where anti-Semtism is rampant and where a university for Jews had to be opened because Canadian universities were closed to us! A country which "occupies" the lands of the "First Nation". The next time the Muslim Fanatics try to blow you up, don't cry to us! Since when is it a crime to defend your country? I wonder if the Canadian troops in Afghanistan should be accused of war crimes? People in glass houses shouldn't .....
33.  justlice in Morocco.
MOMO   (08.08.06)
Thank God for Israeli citizenship - Mr Peretz I guess the fez jazz festival and Belgian chocolates will be off limits for a while...
34. PERETZ IS ILL
Lebanese ,   Lebanon   (08.08.06)
I think that peretz can simply get document from psychologe that he is mentally ill with all other ministers in cabinet
35. lol, file a law suite?? haha
(08.08.06)
just look to what degree of stupidness human beings can get to ... unbelievable!
36. Racist Backlash
Simo ,   Rabat, morocco   (08.08.06)
Morocco is a country of law and the lawyers, who happened to be Jews, can do whatever they choose to sue anyone they want. The courts will decide... But of course, most people on this "talkback" jump at the opportunity to be racist. No one in Morocco gets executed -- there is a moratorium on death penality. And to the person who was in Marakesh - we are not rich -- but no one starves in Morocco. you should visit again you will still be welcome. Stop the hatred -- it will eat you up first. Simo from beautiful beaches of Morocco.
37. meet peretz in the fight ring..idiots
ken ,   california   (08.08.06)
they can pass weapons to lebanon now they want court fight, after that what else wwf champion ship fight morons grow up.
38. #32, try living here
Reason ,   Canada   (08.08.06)
Canada is a great country. Like anywhere else we have problems. There is many educated people here who understand global affairs. Unfortunatly there is many uneducated people here. These people rely on our anti-American media for their dis-information. Try reading the www.cbc.ca sometime, all they do is take any position that is contrary to what an American news source would do. They are very objective and an embarassment to most Canadians. We have a serious problem with terrorism. A cell was taken down in Toronto just recently. Most Canadians support Israel and the US on the war on terror. People like Zack embarass the rest of us.
39. Legal advice to Peretz
Allan ,   US   (08.08.06)
1- give up Morrocan citizenship; 2-file a Counterclaim at the ICJ for: a) recovery of family property confiscated by the Morrocan gov't; b) liabel; c) damages for defamation of character; d) aiding and abetting known terrorist organizations, to wit, Hamas and Hezbollah. If all else fails, tell these morrons to go f**k themselves and dare them to come get you.
40. This must be joke, these "lawyers" are jokes
(08.08.06)
41. Popular Front for the Liberation of West Sahara
Sandune #666 ,   Perth, Australia   (08.08.06)
Ah yes, good old Morocco, Islam's best kept secret. The devil worshipping Narco-state whose values are represented by a flag that combines a satanic pentagram with the reassuring scarlet of Communism. If I ever feel the need to buy any heroin or hashish I'll be sure to boycott your country and go Afghani instead. Why don't you idiots concentrate on your own war - the ongoing brutal occupation of the Western Sahara. Good luck with capturing all those sand dunes losers!
42. Olmert will be next .... in Holland

43. Pause to think
Rich ,   Boston   (08.08.06)
Is diversity of opinion allowed? How sad is it when one reads post after post of nothing but ranting against whole countries, whole faiths, whole races? It's depressing to see that that kind of discourse is the most prevalent one on this "discussion forums." Personally, and rather than blind speculation, I would love to hear more about these jewish civil activists who filed the lawsuit... If I remember correctly Peretz was in Morocco a few months back and I think many people were cheering for him to win the last elections in Israel -- something rather unheard of before ---- here's a link to the story http://www.newsmax.com/scripts/printer_friendly.pl?s=pf&page=http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2006/3/22/121910.shtml
44. WAR CRIMES... YEAH!
cumatac ,   new york   (08.08.06)
Bravo! while I seriously doubt anything will come of this i applaud these Lawyers... They can smell the genocide! This whole so called war is just as criminal as the Iraq "War". Indeed this new "War on Terror" will criminalize the entire Arab/Muslim Population as the War on Drugs/Crime did the African Community here in the U.S. of AmeriKkka -Kudos guys... there is still some glimmer of hope that these criminals will be at least challenged on the world stage... Humanity knows truth and justice... This is jsut flat out collective punishment and MURDER!!!
45. By the way the three Moroccan lawyers are jews.
Moroccan Jew ,   Tanger   (08.09.06)
46. Why has Morocco
Doronron ,   Somehow, Somewhere   (08.09.06)
outlawed its lawyers from going to the beach? The cats keep trying to bury them.
47. What is the difference between
Doronron ,   Wacka, Wacka   (08.09.06)
a Moroccan lawyer and a bucket of goat dung? The bucket.
48. racist backlash?
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.09.06)
I've been to Morocco, and I've seen the level of racism there. I've also seen the welcome. Taadaf, it's called, isn't it? If you want to spread your message of "stop the hatred," I suggest you send it out loud and clear to your Arab and Muslim brethren first. There is no larger group of hate-filled people on Earth right now. And it is they who are eating up the planet with the bombs in England, Madrid, the US, India, the killings in Africa, in Thailand, in Indonesia. Not a corner of the world is free of Islamists' efforts to deal violently with their "humiliation." Take your message where it's needed.
49. Proud to be Moroccan
Abdellah ,   USA   (08.09.06)
yes , we are poor country and staving as you said... but we are proud to be who we are are and we are comming back soon or later.
50. to 48; reality check
still on the beach ,   rabat, morocco   (08.09.06)
Sure it is... where you come from it is the governments that are doing the killing... where i come from it is the terrorists... no difference, except that yours do it on a mass scale.
51. And Some focus on Moshlem Extremists !!!
Alien ,   Marrakesh - Morocco   (08.09.06)
Look at yourself ! Most of the posts are full of hatred !! Shame on the ones that spllit the innocent blood of children ! Shame on You !
52. Moroccan lawsuit
zazou ,   USA   (08.09.06)
Bien dit, Simo...
53. crime or no crime that is the question
(08.09.06)
morocco saved the jews from the crusaders in spain and this is how you say thank you. jews still live in peace in Morocco. Peretz is still a criminal since it is clear that killing innocent women and children is a crime. I hope so anyway
54. what is a crime and what isn't a crime
(08.09.06)
it is not a crime to defend yourself. it is a crime to kill innocent children and women. This makes Peretz a criminal. With regards to antisemitism, people are prosecuted everyday, not only jews. Stop wining and get a life
55. there are radicals on both sides
(08.09.06)
extreme views from an extreme person. you make radicals sound like liberals
56. Justice in the Middle East
Angel Sistos ,   San Clemente, U.S.   (08.09.06)
In defense of Israel’s policies in the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon, the argument is often made that Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorist actions against it’s citizens. What is missing from this argument is the fact that Israel’s occupation of Arab lands and illegal detention and assassinations of Arabs have created an inherently oppressive and intolerable situation where hopelessness and outrage have compelled some individuals to strike back with desperate acts of violence. Israel’s policies of occupation and apartheid are morally indefensible and contrary to basic principles of justice and compassion for all peoples.
57. lawsuit initiated by jews
Moshe ,   Casablanca   (08.09.06)
very funny how this pseudo journalist twist the news by choosing to ignore the main information which is that this lawsuit has been initiated by three of the biggest sephardic moroccanjews living in morocco. but who is really surprised here? I mean when you see what foxnews is telling to the american sheep, what do you expect from a blind pro israeli paper?
58.  #21
orange ,   tunis   (08.09.06)
It's not hypocrisy. Peretz hold Moroccan citizenship- people like Saddam Hussein don't
59. Go Read well history
Hicham ,   Morocco   (08.09.06)
You need to brush up your knowledge about history.
60. Thank you Moshe # 57
Simon Mohammed ,   Falls Church   (09.08.06)
for making this point clear. SO even when a jews sue a jew the Arab, muslim moderate pro western country that never stoped to help for acheiving peace come under fire and get it's part of misinformation. Thanks Moshe
