1. US courts are biased such suits should be
filed at Hague   (10.10.07)
Only an international court should decide on matters like that. The courts of America will never rule against their own government's interests.
2. SUE EVERYTHIN AND EVRYONE
ANA MARIA ,   LATIN AMERICA   (10.10.07)
THEN ISRAEL SHOULD SUETHE EUROPEAN UNION FOR PROVIDING MONEY TO THE TERRORIST PALESTINIANS GROUPS TO VIOLATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF ISRAELIES.
3. if israel wasn't facing terror & war, this would have merit
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (10.10.07)
but, as usual, palestinians look at what israel does as if israel was doing what it does for no legitimate reason. just wait and the palestinians will be building walls between themselves for the very same reasons. maybe these people should get their own house in order before making public fools of themselves.
4. British Arms Sales To Saudi Arabia.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.10.07)
Isn't Saudi Arabia a violator of human rights? The plaintiff should include Saudi Arabia in his complaint. And why stop there? China is a violator of human rights. Then sales to China should be banned. And Russia? Egypt is a violator of human rights. Why are they not included in the complaint? How about Pakistan? Hardly a bastion of human rights protection. I'll go one better - Palestine is a violator of human rights. Perhaps all aid should be cut off to Gaza & even Abbas until they clean up their act.
5. #1 the Hague
Saul ,   Barcelona   (10.10.07)
Yea, so you can have another Carla DelPonte show, running around making biased, politically driven accusations, applying pressure and violating sovereignity of states, with illegally extradited suspects ending up in mysterious "suicides", while in custody. With this type of justice, who needs criminals? (ICJ, evidently, does not...)
6. The Fence helps protect Human Rights
Michael ,   Israel   (10.10.07)
unless you feel that jews are not humans?! that is a different discussion. However, if "Humiliation" is a violation of Human Rights. Surely, Death of a human at the hands of a homicide bomber should certainly count as aviolation of Human Rights. The difference is Humiliation is reversable. Death isn't.
7. cheap PR stunt
israeli ,   israel   (10.10.07)
8. This is a winning case ...Collective punishment is not fair
asem ,   West Bank   (10.10.07)
I don't think anybody even Israelis can claim that Palestinians are not obressed by Israel. And what ever the reasons are collective punishment is not fair. The Isrealis can justly sue any country that supports terror.
9. Lets face facts-the Barrier+Intelligence+Raids work!!
Alan ,   SA   (10.10.07)
Israel is the only country in the world where the Suicide Bombings are going DOWN! And its because of the Barrier+Intelligence +Nightly Raids by Tsahal +Fear of Assassination by Apache . Once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH to TSAHAL+Intelligence People!!
10. Asem - can you pay?
JPS ,   Efrat   (10.10.07)
Asem says "The Isrealis can justly sue any country that supports terror. " So, Asem, since Amnesty Intl and Human Rights Watch both say suicide bombings are war crimes, then we can sue the Palestinian Authority, right? I have a better idea. You Palestinians stop sending suicide bombers, and we Israelis will take down the wall. Deal?
11. AND THEY'RE NOT REPRESSED BY IRANIAN SUPPLIED WEAPONS?
stude ham   (10.10.07)
Where do most of the weapons used by hamas and fatah to repress these people actually come from? why not also sue those nations? Like everyone noted... it's all about propaganda and making Israel look really evil. So where's this peace partner idiot olmert talks about?
12. Arms Smuglling Into Yesha is illegal
Jack Bartlett ,   Pear Prarie, USA   (10.10.07)
Must sue or bomb iran, egypt and most other guilty arabian "countries" if the fence pisses off an arabian it must be a good thing
13. All he wants is his 15 seconds of fame & he got it.
Mike ,   Israel   (10.10.07)
14. LOL, Let him sue
Aharon   (10.10.07)
He's doing nothing more than wasting his money. He has no case. Firstly, the security fence has no connection to British arms sales, and would continue with or without it. Secondly, the ICJ ruling on the barrier was only a recommendation, and not legally binding. Let him sue his brains out. Hopefully this will cost him so much that he won't be able to come back to Israel and bother us with his stupidity.
15. #10
Asem ,   West Bank   (10.10.07)
First of all I am not the one sending suicide bombers to Israel and I did not participate in the elections. The only fault of mine is being born in this god forsaken piece of land (in his so called holy land). I do not care who used to live here, who is right, who is wrong i don't really care. Lets us work togother to solve this thing. If you want to start the blame game it will never end.
16. Big deal.
Chris ,   UK   (10.10.07)
As if anybody is going to care. Russia provides Iran with weapons, Iran provides terrorists with weapons, and who stops them?
17. Even TODAY in London 5 wannabee Terros went on trial
Alan ,   SA   (10.10.07)
They went on manouvres in Cumbria Area with the 21 July Gang who are now krenking it out without Virgins for 72 Years in UK Big House.
18. NEWS FLASH!!!!
(10.10.07)
Abbas has financial ties to the concrete company that built the wall....SUE HIM MF
19. Asam...if all arabs had your attitutude....
(10.10.07)
We would have peace!! And with that, why did you not vote? Could decide between crazy religious fanatics and crazy secular fanatics?
20. Lets see how far he gets
Danny   (10.10.07)
So far to date all these trials have either never made it to a courthouse or were thrown out immediately. I wonder when that happens if it will get the same coverage, I am betting no - anyone give me odds?
21. Less Sioux and more Apache for Pals
Alan ,   SA   (10.10.07)
22. the bottom line is: u gotta do whatever u gotta do to surviv
i said it before ,   ny-la   (10.10.07)
whether its deterrence by destroying homes that gave shelter to suicide bombers/bomb makers using bulldozers or creating a barrier to keep suicide bombers out. This is the decision made iby the govt in the best interest of the security of Israeli citizens. simply put, they did what they had to do ...to survive.
23. 18 I heard Dachlan+Abbas are beneficiaries of CEMENT Company
Alan ,   SA   (10.10.07)
that supplied Settlements and Wall
24. What British weapons? name one make or model!
jack bauer ,   make the wall higher   (10.10.07)
what a load of TRIPE
25. #24: I wondered that too
Damir ,   Russia   (10.10.07)
I believe I had once seen JCB on one of those bulldozers but one cannot be sure for TV pictures. I think there are no more serious wepns.
26. British Organisation Helping Him
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (10.10.07)
I a sure it's some lousy leftist organisation in Britain that got the brilliant idea. Pathetic.
