Belgium issues warrant for the arrest of former Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister for War Crimes & Crimes Against Humanity

I dont really have a dog in this fight but i feel like the israeli's are held to a unfairly higher standard. They both do some fucked up things, but at least israel's gov recognizes the opposing ethnic group's right to exist, which many arabs do not (on a side note, how is that not at the forefront of what the noble UN cares about?), unless forced to do so, to prevent israel from beating them anymore in a fight israel didnt start. The territory they occupy is occupied because multiple arab countries colluded to invade, on a jewish holiday that they calculated they would be most vulnerable, yom kippor. Which is fine, war is war, you play to win. However, when it back fires horribly and your inadequacies become painfully obvious, dont go crying to the world when they fight back against the people who publicly, and on numerous occasions say they are going to wipe them off the face of the earth, especially when just 25yrs or so earlier they were being exterminated by the millions in europe, not really surprising they were a bit jumpy and have been rather defensive ever since. Most places in the world, mere existence as a race isnt a day to day struggle.

Practically the whole middle east is arab, yet they insist that they have to have the 3 percent, or whatever, that isnt. And ironically its one of the few places in the ME that doesnt have oil and they have still turned it into one of the most productive places on earth, with gender equality, sexual orientation equality, income equality, opportunity, tech advances, medical advances, and scores of other things. And i get that the dome of the rock is important, but who's to say its any more important than wailing wall? Everybody cant have everything, no matter what someone is going to get screwed. Life is hard then you die.
