LEBANON: ISRAEL TO BE SUED FOR TORTURE

Thursday August 9, 2001 Tortured Lebanese prisoners sue Israel Former Lebanese prisoners of detention centers run by the IDF and its allied South Lebanese Army (SLA) are legally confronting their ex-jailers. This move follows closely in the footsteps of a legal case being brought in Belgium against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon over his involvement in the 1982 massacre of Palestinians in Sabra and Shatilla, Lebanon's The Daily Star reported. Legal proceedings on behalf of detainees who were held without trial and tortured in Khiam and Ansar, Israeli prisons in Lebanon, as well as in prisons in Israel, began yesterday in Lebanon. A case is being filed against Sharon, former Israeli premiers Ehud Barak, Shimon Peres and Binyamin Netanyahu, Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen Shaul Mofaz, and SLA militiamen who ran the Israeli prisons in Lebanon. The case is being brought forward by the Follow-Up Committee for the Support of Lebanese Detainees in Israeli Prisons and the Lebanese Human Rights Committee. It will be presented to the Lebanese justice minister and the state prosecutor today. "We encourage all detainees, former detainees and families of those who died in Israeli prisons, to present personal lawsuits against the Israelis and their collaborators who inflicted physical and psychological torture in Ansar, Khiam and prisons in Israel," said committee spokesman Mohammed Safa, who spent a month in Ansar Prison in 1982.

GERMANY: JEWISH COLLABORATORS

[Ed: It seems that no-one will admit that some Jews - hardline Zionists for ionstance - saw an opportunity to ship jews from Germany to Palestine]:

Historical Debate F.A.Z. FRANKFURT. A debate has broken out over the Jewish leader Leo Baeck (1873-1956), currently the subject of an exhibition at Frankfurt's Jewish Museum, and his contact to the Nazi regime. Baeck was president of the Reichsvertretung der Deutschen Juden (Jewish Council of the German Reich), an umbrella organization founded in 1933 in reaction to the National Socialists' seizure of power. In an essay written for the exhibition, Hermann Simon, director of the foundation for the new synagogue in Berlin, stated that in 1942, Baeck compiled a study for the Gestapo of the legal status of the Jews. "Baeck was under unbelievable pressure" and was "writing for his life," Simon wrote. A few days after delivering the study, Baeck was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. After 1945, Baeck himself said he had written the lengthy study, but for the conservative resistance movement. Other historians have disputed Simon's version of events, saying that Baeck could well have written the study for members of the resistance who had contacts within the Gestapo.
