Spanish High Court To Try 7 Israelis For Genocide In 2002 Gaza Bombing


It's been awhile since I've seen this kind of bullshit. A palestinian boohoo whining sniveling group has brought a case of genocide to a Spanish High Court because the Spaniards are STUPID enough to have some fawking law that says they can try foreigners for these kinds of cases. So, the Israeli Defense Minister and six other Israeli military officers are all being brought up on these charges in Spain and just wait til you hear the circumstances of the complaint. The article is here at Breitbart and here's an expert of why this charge was brought:


The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights is bringing the case against then-Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer and six military men, most of whom are now retired from active duty, involved in the decision to drop a one-ton bomb from an F-16 plane onto a housing block on July 22, 2002.
The blast killed Hamas commander Salah Shehada, but the organization said it was bringing the case on behalf of only the families of 14 civilians killed, nine of whom were children, and 96 injured.

Now, look at what the putz from the Pali human rights group had to say:


"If Israel would like to be a civilized nation it will have to accept the rule of law, and the rule of law is not served with a 1,000-kg bomb," the Palestinian Centre's lawyer Gonzalo Boye said.

Well, well Mr. Boye...let's just look at what is "civilized." Okay? In 2002, Hamas thug Shehada, after being involved in the murder of Israeli citizens decides to hide out from the IDF in a civilian's house in Gaza - he used all of those Gazans as human shields. So, tell me Mr. Boye...WHO put the dead civilians in danger? The Israelis who dropped the bomb or Shehada? Would the bomb have been droppd if Shehada had not sought refuge there? Of course not. I don't see any Hamas being brought up on genocide charges in Spain over their suicide bombing killing of Israelis in the summer of 2002, Mr. Boye...why is that?

The fact that the Spaniards will even hear this case is beyond belief - at what point in time are western governments going to finally tell the palestinians to fuck the hell off and quit their hypocritical whining?


Spanish court investigates 2002 Israeli Gaza attack

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's High Court will launch a war crimes investigation into seven Israelis, including a former defense minister, over a 2002 attack that killed 14 civilians and a Hamas commander in the Gaza Strip, court papers said.
Spanish law allows the prosecution of foreigners for such crimes as genocide, crimes against humanity and torture committed anywhere in the world. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak called the Gaza legal case "delusional" on Thursday.
The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights is bringing the case against then-Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer and six military men, most of whom are now retired from active duty, involved in the decision to drop a one-ton bomb from an F-16 plane onto a housing block on July 22, 2002.
The blast killed Hamas commander Salah Shehada, but the organization said it was bringing the case on behalf of only the families of 14 civilians killed, nine of whom were children, and 96 injured.
"If Israel would like to be a civilized nation it will have to accept the rule of law, and the rule of law is not served with a 1,000-kg bomb," the Palestinian Centre's lawyer Gonzalo Boye said.
"I do not justify the actions of Hamas. I think both parties are guilty. The only people that are innocent are the civilian victims. We have excluded from our criminal case that person from Hamas who was the target of the Israeli army."
Spanish Judge Fernando Andreu's investigation, which is expected to last several years, was brought after Israel declined to reply to a question from the court last August as to whether the seven would be tried at home.
After hearing the news Ben-Eliezer said the decision was "outrageous," adding that "terror organizations are using the courts of free nations under the guise of democracy in order to fight those who fight against terrorism."
He added that Shehada was a "mass murderer responsible for the death of 100 Israelis ... he sent tens of suicide bombers out onto the streets."
In Tel Aviv, Barak said in a statement he "objected strongly" to the "delusional announcement" by Spain and would vehemently defend the charges.
