What a double standard some have here. I hope Israel is restored to this rightful place! The Arabs have killed more of their own than Israel has defending herself! Please research my posts that proves my claim. I don’t want to be accused of spamming by posing it twice....
""Thirty Israelis with relatives killed in Palestinian terror attacks are to bring a case against Yasser Arafat in a Belgian court, taking advantage of a 1993 law which allows Belgium to try foreign nationals for war crimes committed abroad.
Their decision puts Belgium in a difficult position, because 28 survivors of the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres in Beirut 19 years ago have lodged a similar complaint against the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, using the same legal mechanism.
That case has already embarrassed the Belgian government. As the present holder of the EU's rotating presidency, it is supposed to be playing a key role in advancing the Middle East peace process, and it has found that difficult while its courts have been considering whether to prosecute Mr Sharon for war crimes.
The complaint against Mr Arafat, president of the Palestinian Authority, will be lodged at the high court in Brussels on Tuesday, the day before the court is due to decide whether Mr Sharon can be tried for the killing at Sabra and Shatila.
The case against Mr Arafat does not relate to one single incident but seeks to hold him personally responsible for the death of "thousands of terror victims" since he "began operations in 1966", and accuses him of murder, genocide and crimes against humanity.
"It is ironic that we have to prove in court what all the world has known for over 20 years - that Yasser Arafat is the world's foremost terrorist," said Lieutenant-Colonel Meir Indor, chairman of the Terror Victims Association, which is bring the complaint.
"The time has now come to hold him responsible for his actions."
A Belgian lawyer, Yves Oschinsky, confirmed that he had been instructed to handle the case on behalf of the bereaved Israeli citizens, and said that their accusations "had nothing whatsoever to do with the Israeli government".
In a statement the complainants said that Mr Arafat would be charged with "murders which he ordered and which were carried out by members of organisations which Arafat controls: the PLO, the Palestinian Authority police force, Fatah, Tanzine and Force 17".
They said they intended to lay charges against Mr Arafat's "assistants", and specifically named Mohammed Dahlan, Marwan Barghoutti and Jibril Rajoub.
They made special reference to atrocities and attacks committed since the Palestinian Authority was set up in the West Bank and Gaza in 1994.
The 30 Israeli complainants lost relatives in a number of different attacks, including the infamous suicide bombing of a pizza restaurant in central Jerusalem earlier this year, which killed 15 people..."
