Shimon Peres: Spain cannot prosecute Israel for war crimes

Jan 30, 2009

This morning I attended a breakfast with Israel president Shimon Peres who lashed out at a Spanish court probing Israel officials for alleged “crimes against humanity” relating to a 2002 Israeli attack in Gaza.

This is an accidental video exclusive, since no other journalist attending used a video camera.

Well done RB. You said it all.

It's funny how the Jews went after people left and right for war reparations after WW2, but nobody can go after them for their murders. Western media cowers in fear of being labeled anti-semitic. The holocaust was the best thing that ever happened to the the jewish media machine, they've been milking it to cover their brutality and theft for 60 years now.

Setting aside Gaza for the moment, have these Spanish courts ever bothered to prosecute for crimes against humanity during the Spanish colonial era in Latin America? How about the Spanish Inquisition? Or if they don't go want to go back that far, how about the Spanish Civil War?

"Lashed out"?! What video were you watching, Thomas? All we see here is a measured, polite, responsible, logical, irrefutable answer. You sure give away your crooked sentiments by your choice of words!

It is amazing to me, that there is so much confusion over who the terrorists are. Hamas is a terrorist organization that condones and facilitates suicide bombings and will kill every Jew on the planet if they have the chance.
Israel is an energetic democracy with a vibrant press. Israel is a free country that abides by the rule of law. By contrast, if a writer were to go to Gaza or Iran, for instance, and start writing bad words, he might wind up on the news, dead.
Israel allows Christians and Arab Muslims to worship freely, while Hamas wants to see us all at the bottom of the sea. Hamas, supported by Iran, is clear about their goals: they want to wipe out Israel completely, utterly, with finality. But it's not just Israel that Hamas wants to kill; they want to kill all Jews everywhere. Complete genocide
