Belgians. Lemings and loons, it seems - running in circles to indict Ariel Sharon, of all things, while building another terrorist host state in the shadows.

And Albert of the "pink parties" presiding over all...

If I'm not mistaken, the Belgians are running around trying to close a "loophole" in the law to make sure they can indict Ariel Sharon over again.

Belgium--we have jurisdiction over EVERYONE!

And Norway wants to get in on the act. 


Norwegian political youth group files humanitarian law complaint against Israeli leaders

The youth auxiliary of Norway's largest political party, Labor, on Thursday filed a complaint for crimes against humanity against Israeli leaders and demanded they be tried in Norway.

But main party representatives distanced themselves from the complaint and legal experts said Norwegian law might be able to allow such a trial but it was extremely unlikely.

"It would have to be decided by the government to raise an indictment, and that is not very likely," said Gro Nystuen, of the Norwegian Human Rights Institute in Oslo.

The Labor Youth's 16-page complaint to the national prosecutor included allegations of attacks on ambulances and medical personnel, destruction of civilian property, hostage taking and summary executions in Palestinian areas.

Eva Kristin Hansen, leader of the Labor Youth, said her group wants to see Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and others held accountable for the Jewish state's military actions in Palestinian areas.

Labor Party deputy leader Jens Stoltenberg said he did not support the complaint, which was not cleared by the main party.

The former governing party, which was ousted by a center-right coalition in elections last year, used its labor movement contacts with Israelis and Palestinians to help pave the way for secret talks in Norway that resulted in the now-tattered 1993 Oslo Agreement.

Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Michael Melchior, a former head rabbi in Norway, called the move by the youth group "tragic" and said "demonizing" one party in the conflict would not help bring peace.

"This is damaging to relations between our countries," Melchior said. However, he noted that Norway's current coalition has adopted an entirely different line.

Norwegian justice officials declined to comment on the matter or to say when a decision on the complaint would be made.

Last month, a Belgian appeals court rejected similar war crimes charges filed against Sharon under Belgian law.

Very scary situation.

I also recall reading that, during the disintegration of the USSR, the Russian Mob was hiding in Belgium the gold and other valuables that it was plundering from government vaults.

In their search for allies, the Walloon leadership is bestowing Belgian citizenship on almost any immigrant entering the country, including criminals and Muslim terrorists, who claims he can speak French.

If the Walloons don't watch out, instead of living in a Walloon-dominated country, they will become (along with the Flemings) dhimmis in an islamic emirate of Belgium!!!!

In January 2001, the CIA discovered an al-Qa’eda plot to bomb the US embassy in Rome.

I believe that one of the Jewish terror groups bombed the British embassy in Rome in the 1940's,but it went off at night and only got two bystanders.

Yeah, Labour. Roed-Larsen's party, what more is there to say?

But the "conservatives" are a scary bunch too - just recently I saw on the forum of a major Euro "conservative" paper a poster screaming that "Israel must be dismantled so that everyone could be equal". Sort of like hearing certain "libertarians".

Which "Jewish Terror Groups", Jaunty? One of those that you keep screaming about on "Serbian Underground Cafe", the owner of which has such a sterling collection of jihadist beheading sports?

Geez, time for a decent war soon. Time to clean up ;).

It's okay. They can move to northeast Wisconsin. We've got plenty of Belgians here. It's a pity, though--they missed Belgian Days in Brussels. That was last weekend.

Which "Jewish Terror Groups",

That would be the third one down the list,claimed by the Irgun.

November 6, 1944. Zionist terrorists of the Stern Gang assassinated the British Minister Resident in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo.

July 22, 1946. Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the central offices of the civilian administration of the government of Palestine, killing or injuring more than 200 persons. The Irgun officially claimed responsibility for the incident, but subsequent evidence indicated that both the Haganah and the Jewish Agency were involved.

October 1, 1946. The British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by bomb explosions, for which Irgun claimed responsibility.

June 1947. Letters sent to British Cabinet Ministers were found to contain bombs.

September 3, 1947. A postal bomb addressed to the British War Office exploded in the post office sorting room in London, injuring 2 persons. It was attributed to Irgun or Stern Gangs. (The Sunday Times, Sept. 24, 1972, p.8)

Perhaps we need to divide up Belgium and the Netherlands three ways: one section for the French Walloons, another for the Dutch-speaking Flemish and Netherlanders, and a third for all the Muslim immigrants that are now in both countries. That way everybody is happy (except for Charles Martel, who is spinning in his grave).

Gosh,you are so smart that you know my every move even before I do.Maybe your knowledge cannot be held by just one freeper identity,that's why you need two(or more),or is it because your "Distant Voice" identity was banned here for a time?

Big surprise.

Belgium is merely France without the snails.

They surrender at the first hint of hostilities as well. Which is why they are so keen on bringing to court anyone with the stones to defend themselves. Of course, if you show up for your trial at the The Hague carrying a 30.06 you'd probably be able to subdue the entire country and become King before dinnertime.

Poor fellow, has to dig back to the '40's to dredge up old history, all out of context of course. Keep digging, Effendi, who knows what else you'll dredge up. Always amusing though.

Now, to get back to the thread...

Check this out, Belgophiles...
Our Friends the Europeans: A letter from an effete Belgian snob... . The Belgians; gotta love 'em.
