Spain to try Israel for crimes against humanity

The Spero article mentions Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Dan Halutz, Giora Eiland, and "four other senior officials".

The named individuals all have form prior to the January Gaza invasion - per the 'Wanted for War Crimes' site I mentioned. My only information about the current investigation comes from the Spero article so I don't know it's scope beyond what the article mentions.

I agree it needs to proceed. I am in fact just a little heartened by the clear undercurrent of serious unease across Europe and Scandinavia about the grossness of Israeli behaviour and their immunity from serious official criticism or sanctions. Whether it will translate into serious pressure for meaningful change remains to be seen. Personally, I will not be holding my breath.

Thanks Peter. Yeah I'll believe it when I see it as well, but at least this is better than the absolute silence on the subject from the Obama administration.
