European attorneys have reportedly petitioned a Belgian court to arrest Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni upon her arrival in Brussels later Wednesday, according to the Jawalan.com Web Site.
The complaints was apparently lodged on behalf of Belgian and French nationals with relatives who were either wounded or killed in Gaza, and calls for Livni to be arrested for war crimes.
The Foreign Ministry is looking into the report and the Israeli embassy in Brussels has not yet been involved in the matter, sources said.
Belgian law does not actually allow the arrest of a foreign official with high standing, but the matter could bring embarrassment to Israel and may represent the first in a string of lawsuits now being prepared by pro-Palestinian elements around the world.
Israeli human rights activists: Arrest Olmert, Livni, and Barak for war crimes
Meanwhile, anonymous self-described Israeli human rights activists have set up an Internet site detailing alleged war crimes committed by senior government officials and Israel Defense Forces officers.
No known human rights organization is behind the site, whose founders refuse to give their names.
The site, www.wanted.org.il, includes “arrest orders,” complete with pictures and personal details, for Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert,Livni, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, National Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi and his two predecessors, Dan Halutz and Moshe Ya’alon, former air force commander Eliezer Shkedy and others.
It also explains how to inform the International Criminal Court in The Hague of when the “suspects” are outside Israel, and hence vulnerable to arrest.
The “arrest order” for Barak, for instance, states:
“On December 27, 2008, the suspect ordered an aerial assault on all of Gaza’s population centers.
The assault included hundreds of sorties by fighter jets that dropped hundreds of tons of bombs on residential areas of Gaza, which led to the deaths of 1,200 people – men, women and children.
Some 5,300 people were wounded and hundreds of thousands became refugees. On December 10, 2008, a formal complaint was filed against Ehud Barak to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Holland … on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity because of the siege of Gaza.”

Silence is consent. This is why government abuses cannot be ignored. and those leaders be prosecuted. Failure to prosecute is permission for others to do the same, or worse. It creates attitudes that government is above the law, and that leaders can do whatever they choose without risk or consequence.
Accountability is the only way to stop leaders from illegal and immoral acts.
The israeli jews and international jews participating in crimes must be hanged. The world will take care of the action. Jews have destroyed the world along history for 5000 years. About time to put an end to them.
To the previous commenters refering to crimes of “Jews”:
Please adjust your attitudes. The crimes are Zionist, done in the name of Jews but are not accepted by all Jews. Many Jews are critics of Israel.
Do not attack the religion, or adherents of the religion. Attack the crime. Bin Laden tries to talk on behalf of all Muslims but we wouldn’t attack all Muslims because of Bin Laden’s crimes.
On top of this the article above is highlighting how some Israeli Jews want to see the Israeli government leadership tried for war crimes. Think about this: and stop being racist/anti-semitic in your own speech.
@john
Thanks John, it’s important to highlight that.
Arrest them all and turn them over to the Palestinians. Israel is an arrogant parasite thief of a nation that was born out of terror and murder and theft. No more US aid to these despicable thugs. Boycott everything Israeli.
I can’t believe any of you!! Comparing the Israeli’s to nazi’s is completely wrong. I don’t even need to explain myself. Just think about it and you’ll know that I’m right. Killing 6 million people is definitely the same as 1000 people…right?
The “anti-Zionists” show their true face; Goebbels misses gallows adorned with Jews. My brothers have the right to defend themselves and protect their lives even though they are Jewish. How do you like them apples?
Israel has been subjecting Palestinians to Apartheid since 1947!!! Of course Palestinians are going to revolt against their oppressors, just like South Africans did!
It really doesnt matter anymore, for humanity is about to go by the wayside in three and a half years due to the comming global polar shift. It will send us back into the dark ages but it will be funny, that is to see if the jews can jew their way out of that one……sorry! you all parish with the rest of us you sorry sobs.
the nazi were for short time…..
the jews are commiting above ten times in scale
and length of time.
is there any morality in their religion leaders
civic org,individual citisions,their sionist
stock market manupilaters…and so on….
if germany recognised and paid damages to jews
what amounts should these twisted breed should
be charged for what they did to palestine,lebanon,egypt,
tunisia ,jordan,syria…….
are they above humanity,maybe we need to breed a more
efficent hitler and a bigger oven as anti dote……
regrettably to even think like that…
it is their current behavior makes the nazies look
humane it is a sad world that they elect the bigger
crimal killer as atheir leader.
reward of that kind shows the implicity of every jew
world wide in the most henuous acts a humans can
aspire to and devalues us to below animals.
with respect to animals.
what does shallit is doing in palestine if he is
a french citizen….can france charge him for aiding
in acriminal activity against other people..
a terrorist act….supposed to be.
haah..haah …people ain,t people have some got 4 balls and
8 holes ,more chozen…their gods live on a higher hill.
i have enough of hypocracy…..

human first,noble thinking
every being wants,health,wealth.friends.peace of mind

we all strive for the same..not just the
chosen…. when we die we are just food

THE HAGUE has been petitioned by overly eager pro-palestinian lawyers to prosceute Tzipi Livni, the left-wing Israeli politician struggling against right-wing hardliner Netanjahu and for peace.
This is absurd. Livni is the SAVIOUR of the middle east. Netanjahu will always try to destroy what he can, being a deeply troubled psycho.
But Olmert, Barak and Netanjahu are ALREADY wanted criminals by The Hague and that is right so.
I am also against the Hamas, but bombing back on palestinian civlians?
NO!
I am a jew and I say that here and EVRYwhere. I do not agree whit what Israel does, but I see that Livni is a good human being, she fights FOR the rights of the Palestinians.
For me, it is clear that the arab world is somewhat dumb and confused and throws it all into one pot, which amounts to a form of political racism.
Criminals are criminals. Barak, Olmert, Netanjahu. BUT NOT LIVNI.
If Livni is prosecuted (but she will never be), I would distrust The Hague and I wrote that to them.
Arabs, please stay focused and distinguishing between right and wrong, and between the right people to be judged as bad, and the right people to be judged as good. Livni is good. She is the ARCH enemy of Netanjahu. Also Olmert hates her. She doesn’t hate anyone.
I don’t say that because she is a woman, but because she is politcally absolutely on the left side. She seeks understanding and compromise between arabs and jews.
Long live the FATACH! DOWN WITH THE MURDERING HAMAS! DOWN WITH MURDERERS LIKE NATANJAHU, OLMERT AND BARAK!
UP WITH LIVNI! UP WITH OBAMA! THOSE ARE THE GOOD PEOPLE as was ANWAR EL SADAT who was murdered at the airport after returning from peace talks with Israel!
monty laab wrote, the Israelis would commit more murders than the nazis did.
I am a jew and have relatives in Israel, on the Golan heights.
I am not on a very friendly basis with those relatives of mine.
I told my female cousin when she was here on holiday, that we jews do the SAME to the palestinians as did the Nazis to us jews.
BUT, Monty Laab is not only exagerating, but simply turning the truth into absurdity.
The Nazis killed 6 MILLION Jews, Hitler caused some 50 MILLION people to be killed by war or systematic genocide mass murder, not only those 6 million Jews, but also communists, retards, and evryone who wouldn’t follow the party line.
Well, we cannot “COMPARE” one evil to another. Only because one murderer kills 1000 people and the other one some 100’000, we cannot say the one is worse than the other.
BUT: Saying the jews are WORSE than the Nazis shows how affectouus and under-educated the majority of the Arabs are.
I am a jew and I say what Israel does here is NOT jewish. I say ZIONSISM IS NOT JEWISH. Judaism is Ethics.
We jews are your BROTHERS, Arabs! We are both descendants of Abraham! I don’t dislike ISHMAEL, the father of the arabs and son of Abraham, as I was told to in jewish primary school.
I am critical towards any information. There should be an arab-jewish empire with NO difference between jews and arabs except religion and tradition which should be excluded from the political process in order the reach a state of secularity (segregation between politics and religion).
Obama, Kennedy, Sadat, Rabin, Martink Luther King, Gandhi, John Lennon, Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam), Bruno Manser (swiss nature protection activist killed in southern america), THOSE are our heroes.
A small warning: I accept no racist or antisemite votes here. Those will be ignored. I answer only to reasonable and non-insulting texts here and evrywhere.
The silence of world leaders is of grave concern. This silence is a recipe of more Bin Ladens. It is time for the world leader to show fairness and justice before it is too late.
Livni, bya all definitions, is a bloody War Criminal who has caused the wanton massacre of 1,400 Palestinian civilians 3/4 of whom were civilians including 1/5th children!
The Pariah State of Israel should be taught a lesson toward civility.
