Dutch court to hold war crimes hearing against Benny Gantz on election day
[Jpost] The District Court of the Hague will hold a hearing on Tuesday about whether a war crimes case against Benny Gantz
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... War. Israeli soldiers and commanders may also be on the hot seat at The Hague before the International Criminal Court, but Tuesday’s hearing, which also happens to be Election Day, is a local Dutch court proceeding that is unrelated to that. In fact, the ICC preliminary probe of Israel’s conduct of the 2014 war is moving slowly and is not expected to come to any conclusion earlier than December, with real progress possibly even farther off. A statement about the case from the Paleostine Justice Campaign said that the case relates to Ismail Ziada and is against Gantz and former IDF Air Force Chief Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Eshel for allegedly killing six members of Ziada’s family. Ziada is claiming that the IDF prosecution uses discriminatory practices against Paleostinians which prevent him from receiving justice in Israel. According to the principle of universal jurisdiction, some countries, especially in Europe  ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum..., allow prosecution of foreign officials for war crimes if the local state refuses to prosecute. universal jurisdiction should be applied to the EUniks and pols All prior attempts at using universal jurisdiction against Israeli officials - sometimes described as "lawfare" - have failed with European courts finding that they did not have jurisdiction for a variety of reasons, though some Israeli victories came only at the appeals level or from executive branch intervention. According to reports, the IDF declined to prosecute anyone in the Ziada case because the civilians who were killed were legal collateral damage in a strike of a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, war room in which multiple Hamas members were also killed. The IDF’s general position is that it tried hard to limit civilian casualties by warning civilians to leave conflict areas, but that if Hamas embeds itself within civilian locations, the Hamas act of embedding makes those locations liable to attack - assuming the rules of proportionality are also met. "The IDF is the most moral army in the world and I am proud to have served in it for almost 40 years and to have commanded it. As prime minister, I will continue to give my full support to the IDF in all arenas," Gantz said in response to the case.
