1. trial
Sol ,   US   (07.31.08)
But no trial against Mitterand and Pascua. That just about says it all.
2. If France wishes to be fair,
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (07.31.08)
it has to go after the chief of it all: Jean-Christophe Mitterrand.Will it? My only problem with Gaydamak is that he must keep away from politics in Israel,because the man is the worst and most dangerous of all,you can be sure.
3. Roaring mouse
Raphael ,   Netanya   (07.31.08)
France is not entitled to any legal action in this case, as no export permit was issued by the french custos, as the weapons did not transit through France. The only grief is that french politicians (Pasqua, Mitterrand jr) and businessmen (Gaydamak, Falcone) earned money they forgot to mention on their income tax sheet. The main issue is an internal politician revenge struggle initiated by militant judges.
4. # 1 They love to persecute Jews.
PETRA ,   usa   (07.31.08)
France and England, most of Europe hates Jews and shows it by this trial. God forbid they should try the 'officials' that are soley french!
5. Only Goverments allowed to do that
rh ,   Modiin Israel   (07.31.08)
Governments always supply arms to waring parties. Individuals are not allowed to
6. Good, the guys a criminal
Jay3 ,   Israel   (07.31.08)
7. I'd love to see that mafioso extradited
Concerned ,   Israel   (07.31.08)
Putin sent this slimeball to infiltrate Israel's political echelons. G. is very impudent with a slick facade. He thinks that he can play us for fools with that "Jewish tradition" crap. My little toe on my left foot has more "Jewish tradition" than all of him. He plays less fortunate Israelis as a generous philanthropist with a heart of gold. Utter rubbish. Chuck him out already.
8. Leave him alone. What a two-faced swine the French attorney
Rivkah   (07.31.08)
general is. Jonathan Swift said it best long ago in a book called "Gulliver's Travels": "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." this was insurrection talk in Britain in a novel long ago because of the evils and oppression of the people by the law profession.
9. Extradition
Joe ,   Los Angeles, USA   (08.01.08)
He can't be extradited for that, it was a non-violent crime that wasn't illegal in Israel at the time it was commited, and it's unclear what, if anything, his role was in the deal.
