Belgian Jewish Leader: Israel Committing War Crimes

[Magical]

Jewish associations have begun to react against the Israeli offensive into Lebanon. Head of the Union of Belgian Jewish Progressives (UPJB) Dr. Jacques Ravedovitch stated that Israel is committing war crimes in Lebanon.

In an interview with Zaman in Brussels, Ravedovitch said that while former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon committed indirect war crimes, current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is unquestionably a war criminal.

Dr. Ravedovitch said it is a shame that Jews who were once exposed to the holocaust are doing the same evil things against another nation today.

According to Ravedovitch, anti-Semitism is from time to time misused by Israeli statesman, and the recently intensified Israeli offensive into Lebanon has increased hatred for Israel.

1. I am glad to see a growing chorus of Jewish voices questioning the

over response by Israel. Olmert's actions do constitute a war crime.

2. What goes around..

as they say. To be concerned about the sad path taken in Israeli foreign policy is not to be anti-Smeitic. It is to be antiwar, anti-facsist and anti-capitalist for some. If this is not true why do we see Israel in bed with those elements, the same ones that cheered their destruction in Europe 50 years ago? Who are Israel's allies? The same ones who thought Hitler bad but looked the other way when Jewish persecution was pointed out. Who hates the Jews? Christians and Muslims together when they are not hating each other.
