French Jews Call For Prosecuting ‘Criminal’ Sharon

[RBHam]

PARIS, October 16 (IslamOnline.net) - In an unprecedented event, a thousand French Jews Wednesday, October 15, urged to have Israeli Premiere Ariel Sharon prosecuted for his “criminal policies” against Palestinians, and supported the notion of a Palestinian state with occupied east Jerusalem as its capital.

In a strongly-worded statement entitled “Another Jewish Voice”, the signatories said they are against the oppressive practices by the Israeli army in Palestinian-ruled areas.

“Israelis will never enjoy peace or even a future for their country unless they set on the negotiating table and settle a compromise with the Palestinians,” read the statement, signed by politicians, doctors and legalists.

It warned that Israeli actions against the Palestinians “could end up with their perpetrators standing before the International Criminal Court”.

1. This American Jew thinks that's a great idea!

Vive les juifs francais!

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. AGREED

This Ameridcan Jew agrees with the French as well.

Oh and we have been speaking problem is that some
American Jews are still deluded thanks to that great
invention called PROPAGANDA and TEEVEEE

[Saudade]

13. French jews

These French jews are absolutely right, of course, but don't they know that International law doesn't apply to Israel in general and Sharon in particular?

[Mairead]

2. Now THERE are some Jews doing the righteous thing!

Jews around the world should be speaking in one voice: sack Sharon, put him and his wicked crew on trial for war crimes.

'If you want peace, work for justice'

3. Skinner - LOCK THIS THREAD!

4. Well, off to buy more French wine and cheese!

Bon Appetite!

On edit: Why aren't we seeing more things like this here in he U.S.? Are we U.S. Jews less moral and humane than French Jews?

[DuctapeFatwa]

12. Where can I get some French bagels and pastrami? Vive la France! Go Jews!

This is mega-kewl!

5. French Jews are feeling the heat from the pervasive antisemitism there.

Some caved. Big fuckin' surprise.

And by the way -

This thread ain't nuthin' but shit.

[DrWeird]

6. So what you're saying is...

The only jews who say anything bad about Sharon are being bullied by antisemites? On account of Sharon is a great human being?

[Flying_Pig]

7. Bullcrap Sagle....

You reply is nothing but shit, as usual. Why is it so hard for you to envison that not all Jews support Ariel?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. I will put it to yuou this way

not that the article will go into it.

Both Arick Sharon, and Arafat are war criminals

They both have done thigns that they should pay for.

Now some Jews, even here in the US, can see this reality...
the tikkun community, and until Sharon is removed, LEGALLY, I
cannot see the end of the crisis.

Now Arafat, reality is he is close to death, so nature will do
that, but BOTH should be removed, LEGALLY

Oh and what is your response to the Refusenicks who are saying
no we won't fly for you?

[_Jumper_]

8. This is great

It will reduce anti-Semitism against Jews in France IMO.

[Jester_11218]

11. Anti-Semitism

Don't confuse politics and religion. You can disagree with Israeli politics and with Sharon without thowing the "Jews" into the formula.

What is going on in Israel and the occupied territories is an Israeli thing, not a Jewish thing.

This has nothing to do with Anti-Semitism

[RBHam]

14. Exactly

Those who throw the "anti-Semite" card around every time there is an anti-Sharon post is analagous to condemning those of us who are anti-Bush as being "anti-Christian".
