...a show trial in Belgium, no surprise. It's one of those Ramsey Clark specials. Cuban judge reads the verdict...you get the picture. Philosemitism blog has the details: Lebanon war mock tribunal condemns Israel and U.S.
Sure, it's a ridiculous fringe of Marxist kooks with too much time on their hands, but, as the blog author notes:
I tend to take this type of event seriously - there are some powerful NGOs and individuals behind it - their names keep cropping up. It required a lot of prepation and cost a lot of money. My opinion is that it was organised in Europe for the benefit of the Arab world and European Muslims.
In fact, "Al Jazeera TV broadcast the proceedings in full to Arab countries..."
