War crimes investigations into Israel killing terrorists??? What about investigations into Hamas and Jihad as to how many Israelis were killed during the intifadah???? This is NUTS! Absolutely NUTS! Next thing you know, Spain will want to open investigations into the US when we finally kill Osama Bin Laden. They'll call it an outrageous abuse of human rights because he wasn't given a fair trial!
This world is becoming more and more corrupt every day and it is fucking sickening!
Israel outraged by war crimes probe | International | Jerusalem Post
Israel reacted furiously to a decision by a Spanish judge on Thursday to open a probe of seven former top security officials for alleged war crimes in the 2002 bombing in Gaza that killed top Hamas terrorist Salah Shehadeh and 14 other people.
"Someone who calls the assassination of a terrorist a crime against humanity lives in an upside-down world," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.
The investigation has been ordered against National Infrastructures Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, who was defense minister at the time; Likud Knesset candidate Moshe Ya'alon, who was chief of General Staff; Dan Halutz, then commander of the air force; Doron Almog, who was OC Southern Command; then-National Security Council head Giora Eiland; the defense minister's military secretary, Mike Herzog; and Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, who was head of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).
"Shehadeh was responsible for the murder of dozens of Israelis," Dichter told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday night. "We pursued him for a long time. The man was a terrorist responsible for dozens of attacks against Israeli civilians. He knew we were pursuing him and went from multi-story building to multi-story building. On the day of the assassination, he was in the building with his wife, who aided him, and was killed in the strike.
"To my sorrow, innocent people were harmed in the strike, and I do regret that," Dichter said.
However, he described the legal action as "absurd" and said he trusted the Foreign Ministry's ability to solve any such problems overseas.
