To: King Albert II. and
the Belgian Government.
We the undersigned, express our outrage, ridicule and opposition to
the ILLEGAL decision of the Belgian Supreme Court, which has
arrogantly appointed itself as the world’s highest authority on War
Crimes – and arbitrarily presumes to wrongfully try Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon (together with a handful of decorated Israeli Army
Officers) for alleged war crimes at Sabra & Shatilla in 1982.
Whether we agree with P.M. Ariel Sharon’s current political policies
or not is certainly irrelevant at this stage.
This travesty of justice must be prevented, and now!
Who knows? This could set a dangerous precedent for US President
Bush and P.M. Tony Blair to be brought in front of the same Belgian
tribunal one day on charges of attacking Iraq?
A terrible atrocity was committed at Sabra & Shatilla, but it is a
well known historical fact that Ariel Sharon and the Israeli army
were NOT the GUILTY PARTY.
These crimes were committed by the Lebanese Phalangist Militia under
the command of Elias Hobeika, as REVENGE for the assassination of
their leader, Bashir Gemayel - the then newly elected President of
Lebanon, who, together with a number of his close followers, was
murdered by a powerful bomb blast in his office. The cruel
assassination followed by the Sabra & Shatilla retaliation and had
the blessing of Syria – whose aim was twofold: to prevent a
Christian Governed Free Lebanon making peace with Israel, and to
discredit Israel at the same time ! This devious plot was sadly
successful on both counts.
Who was Elias Hobeika?
The distinguished Lebanese dignitary Mr. Nagi N. Najjar – Director
of the Lebanon Foundation for Peace, recently published an article
just prior to the elimination of Elie Hobeika at the behest of the
Syrians (to ensure his silence regarding these and other criminal
activities, for which they feared he could have incriminated Syria
for it’s participation). There could hardly be a more objective
source for the information Mr. Najjar provided in response to the
Palestinians having cleverly and strategically filed this grossly
groundless complaint against Ariel Sharon with your Belgian court:
"(The) Sabra and Shatilla (massacre) was instigated and perpetrated
by Elias Hobeika, a ruthless murderer working for Syrian
Intelligence. Today his profession is giving Scuba lessons in a
little seaport called Dbayeh 20 miles north of Beirut. If the
Palestinians really want to see justice, the road within Lebanon is
a much shorter road than the one of Brussels. Hobeika is responsible
for a long list of massacres and murders against the Christians in
Lebanon, the Muslims, the Druze and even the Palestinians
themselves. Yet, he does not fear justice as he is under the
protection of his Syrian friends. The KAHANE REPORT details his
involvement."
Considering the facts, this ludicrous ruling passed by your "Justice
system" makes one wonder what exactly is Belgium’s ulterior motive
??
One also wonders on what grounds the Belgian Justice system dares to
posture as the Moral Superiors of the World!? Maybe they should
first be seeking culprits of war crimes in their very own backyard?
Maybe it is time for the world to recognize Belgium’s own atrocities
carried out in the Congo - Katanga, in the 1950's & 60's and in
Rwanda, Somalia, as recently as the 1990's (far more recent than the
Sabra & Shatilla case) as well as violent assaults on asylum-seekers
just 5 years ago in 1998 in Belgium! For the documented historical
details - read this article:

In view of Belgium’s own ignominious history, justice like charity,
should certainly start at home. It should also be applied equally
rather than selectively.
The turbulent History of the Middle East is filled by massacres, and
either you bring all those cases to justice or you bring none. Deal
with Saddam Hussein murdering and gassing Iraqi Kurds, the
perpetrators of the massacre of Hama by Syria in 1982, the massacres
of Black September in Jordan, and the terrorist activities of Yasser
Arafat up to and including his support and encouragement of the
Palestinian Suicide Bombers up to these very days are but just a few
in a very long list
"By taking sides in a case like Sabra & Shatilla, Belgium is playing
with fire, by allowing this affair to take place on its soil and
blaming Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. It is important for all to
understand that if Belgium is opening this effort for political
purposes, then it is making a dangerous move at the wrong time of
history, at the wrong place, with the wrong victim. Taking issue
with one massacre that took place in Lebanon at the expense of
another is a dishonest action and is a dangerous political stand for
Belgium, with dangerous consequences and repercussions that might
precipitate unpredictable, negative reactions both for Belgium
itself, and throughout the world.

We the undersigned, the citizens of the world, hereby request His
Majesty King Albert II and the Government of Belgium to reconsider
Belgium's path in History, and by any means available, to reject/
correct/ eliminate this unjustifiable, historical mistake.
