Now the Belgian parliament decided that Shimon Peres should be trialed for the bombing of Lebanese territory during "Grapes of Rage" operation, consisting of bombing Lebanese territory during 1995, as a relataliation for Hezballah activity and especially shelling Katyusha missiles on Israeli cities.
This seems very politicized since this was a military act, in response to para-military terrorist activity from Lebanese territory, by Lebanese terrorists.
If they try Peres, they should try the Brittish for bombing German cities during WWII.
Currently there's a case awaiting against Ariel Sharon for his responsibility in the Sabra & Shatilla massacare, though he has already been trialed by a special Israeli investigation court.
This is also very politicized, since the Commander of the Christian Phalanges, the man directly responsible for the massacare is not tried, and IIRC is currently a minister in Lebanon
What next?
How about more deserving trials:
Trialing British PMs for Bloody Sunday?
Trialing Clinton for Sudan?
Trialing Bush for Afghanistan?
Or is Israel the only one disallowed to protect itself?
