Dr Grabow you are full of it to your ears stop spreading lies! Ok... I shouldn't have said that he was a war criminal. But some people, including Israeli officials, think he should be brought to trial for the massacres. Sharon expressed his regrets for the "terrible tragedy" of the 1982 massacre of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon during Israel's invasion of the country when he was defense minister. But he refused to apologize for the massacres despite an official Israeli government commission which found him indirectly responsible for the slaughter, when Lebanese Christian militias killed between 800 and 1,500 Palestinian refugees in an area controlled by the Israeli military. metimes.com Notice I included the word indirectly Would you suggest that also US Secretary of Defense, Mr. Rumsfeld is a war criminal because innocent people died in Afghanistan due to various military errors ? No, but maybe he should if those incidents involving civilians lasted over 24 hours. Following your reasoning, Milosevic shouldn't be indicted nor should he be on trial as he never did the actual killing.
