2. Iraq suing israel
Brilliant Idea ,   Chaim   (06.15.16)
Love it.. Iraq suing israel for destroying the nucleur reactor which that dog Saddam Hussein was building with French help. to produce a bomb to destroy Israel. well. so Israel should counter sue.. for the billions in Jewish property seized by the Iraqi government when Jews had to flee israel. How about the destruction rained on israel by the Scud attacksi 1990.. or how about the murders of Jews by Iraq who send their armies bent on killing Jews in 1948 and 1967 and in between. they would not even be able to pay the interest on the interest for the money they owe the Jewish community and the State of Israel when we finish the lawsuit.. of what they owe us..
3. Compensation
Jez ,   Netanya   (06.15.16)
About time our foreign minister instigated charges against the damage and loss of life caused by Iraqi scuds in 1991!
4. This will be interessting...
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.15.16)
... I think Iraq , first, has to recognize Israel, officially, before this incident can be taken to court...and dismissed..

Check constantly your behind as you may get an OSIASS pretty soon from Israel. Once beaten, always beaten!!!
6. Israel destroyed?
tiki ,   belgium   (06.15.16)
I thought Iraq didn't/doesn't 'recognize Israel so how can they sue somebody/thing they don't recognize?
7. So, nu? Hire good Jewish Law Firm ;-) !

8. WOW! M.E. JUST GETS DUMBER AND DUMBER
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (06.16.16)
Why sue them back for supporting Iran and allowing Iranian troops in their country. Let's divide this waste land that is called Iraq into 3, and get it over with. The Iranian mullahs can have their Shia ISIS part, the SAUDI'S can have their ISIS part, and the poor Kurds can finally live in peace in their own country.
9. In that case, Israel can sue...
USA   (06.15.16)
In that case, Israel can sue Iraq for 1) all the carnage, terrorism, loss of life, financial damage caused by terrorists who were encouraged by Sadaam Hussein when he paid terrorists' families US$25,000 after carrying out a terror attack. 2) Sue Iraq for the Scud missile attacks on Israel, for the financial damage, etc, If this goes through, Israel can sue the Arab League and many Arab states for condoning, supporting and providing financial aid to terrorism against Israel not only in Israel but overseas territories also.
10. Counter sue them for sponsoring terror
Avi L.   (06.16.16)
Counter sue them for sponsoring terror, expelling Jews, stealing jewish properties and so on. Let's sue them also for the babylonian captivity, with interests!
11. No 2, Chaim
Gabe ,   Canada   (06.15.16)
You should apologize to the dogs for comparing them to Saddam.
12. Iraq
Ben Seskin ,   Afula Israel   (06.16.16)
What about Israel sueing Iraq for compensation for all the Jews they expelled from the country and stole all their assets.
13. Sue
Marty ,   Toronto Canada   (06.15.16)
Sure - and in return my wife's uncle who lives in Ramat Gan along all of those other people whos property was damaged during the Scud attacks will sue Iraq for compensation.
14. Good, it's about time ,...

15. Is there a connection to the Post-Zionist revisionists
(06.15.16)
from our Left voicing their theories about the "lack of real cause" for bombing the reactor?! I did hear JudoQuislings voicing such "opinions".
16. It´s a joke, right?
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (06.15.16)
Iraqi politicians have nothing better to do. Their country is being torn apart. Shame on them. One feels sorry for the Iraqis.
17. LLOOOLLLLLLL...I hope, that ISIL will take
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.15.16)
care of Baghdad & the Green Zone !
18. An act of defence during a state of war
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (06.15.16)
Successive Iraq regimes have maintained that Iraq is in a continuous state of war with Israel since 1948.That's the situation now as it was the situation in 1981 when the IDF removed the existential threat. The Iraqi government cannot have it both ways;at war when it can harm Israel but not at war when it suffers a serious defeat. During the Iraq-Kuwait war the Iraq regime cynically fired scud missiles into Israel in the hope that it would draw a response and fragment the coalition against it.This despite Israel being no more than an uninvolved bystander.Maybe,on the same grounds,Israel should sue Iraq for the danage and injury caused by its act of gratuitous aggression. Looking further back,there's still the legacy of the death and destruction caused by Iraqi and Arab Legion forces when they illegally invaded Mandate Palestine in 1948. It's the usual pseudo-legal claptrap that comes from the Israel-haters.Time to hoist them on their own petard. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
19. #16 Haider...save your tears
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (06.16.16)
Don't be fooled by Iraqis.In my,admittedly limited,experience of Iraqis anti-Semitism is deeply ingrained in their culture.It's medieval and virulent. The appearance of civilised modern culture is just a thin veneer.Scratch it a little bit and real nastiness shoots out. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
