Belgium, the nation responsible for the murder and enslavement of thousands in Congo, now has appointed itself moral conscience of the world. Beyond the ridiculousness of that, do you see anything wrong with them accusing Sharon of war crimes? Do you know what it's about? Sabra and Chatila- while the IDF was operating against the PLO in Lebanon in the 80s, they were allied with the Lebanese christian Phalangists. The Phalangists went into a refugee camp that was a terror center and massacred hundreds of Palestinians. Sharon was the Israeli defense minister at the time- it was ruled in an internal inquiry that he was "indirectly responsible", in that he should have known a massacre could happen, and not let the Phalangists into the camp. Of course, no one else foresaw a massacre either, no media wrote about it, or anyone said anything. So he stepped down. That said, why are they going after Sharon? What about the people who actually carried out the massacre? The phalangists? Why doesn't Europe and the UN expect the same humanity from the arabs as the Israelis? Is that not racist? it's like they assume the arabs are animals, and don't even bother. Its ridiculous. Do you see anyone accusing the US for war crimes? In Afghanistan, do you remember when the Northern Alliance soldiers were executing Taliban prisoners in revenge? No one said anything then. The US certainly wasn't blamed for it, they weren't responsible. That's the same situation as Sharon at Sabra and Chatila. No Israeli soldier or officer either played any part or had foreknowledge of what would happen. This has become the most hypocritical, politicized piece of cr** for people who always look to accuse Israel of anything possible. Again, why the hell does no one care about the 20 year old Syrian occupation of Lebanon, which brutalizes their citizens and denies the Lebanese their freedom? So Israel gave info about Hezbollah to the Lebanese resistance? Good! Hezbollah is an Islamofascist terror group sponsored by Iran, and are responsible for the death of many Americans, as well as Israelis. The US, and every other country for that matter, support resistance against sick regimes and terror groups. The US supported the Kurds in Iraq, the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, we're trying to support the reformers in Iran, etc. And sorry to MrSelfdestruct, but to focus on "israeli war crimes" that are BS to begin with, and to turn a blind eye to the real abuses in the region(these terror groups and arab governments do so many sick thing), does very much make you anti-Israel, and seeing reality through a skewed lens.
