Personally, if the Syrians do launch such a lawsuit I truly hope they win...

Syria says it will sue U.S. for supplying arms to Israel

Winston-Salem Journal | Syria says it will sue U.S. for supplying arms to Israel

DAMASCUS, Syria — Syria plans to sue the United States for supplying arms to Israel that were later used to kill Syrians in Israel’s war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon in 2006, the Syrian foreign minister said yesterday, a day after Washington announced new sanctions against Damascus.

So youre siding with terrorists? Typical liberalism.

If I were siding with "the terrorists" I would be defending Israel and America.

Discuss the topic, not each other.

As I said, typical liberalism. Next they will be calling Bin Laden a freedom fighter and saint.

These lawsuits are going to be held where and under what jurisdiction?


-Are U.S. citizens in Iraq suing Iran because they got hit by an Iranian made mortar? or suing Russia because they got shot with an AK-47?

I'm searching my memory for a legal precedent. Help me out here.

Israel has murdered civilians, dropped bombs on residential neighbourhoods and terrorised Palestinians; how is Israel not a terrorist state?

Regarding America? America launched an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation even though the UN Secretary General told them it was illegal to do so. American also funds and arms the Israeli terror state and actually gives them infrastructure money while the Israeli's murder Palestinians. In fact according to this site America built the bomb that killed nearly 30 civilians in Qana, Lebanon:

Qana Bomb Made in the US

I would say that Israel and the United States are up their collective armpits in terrorism...

Maybe the United States itself? Maybe the International Court of Justice will here the case? Syria may also bring the case to various EU courts that will hear cases regarding war crimes that are not prosecuted in the nation accused of committing said crimes. I do not know...

What I know is that the United States openly arms and funds Israel knowing that Israel engages in war crimes; the plethora of UN Security Council Resolutions are proof of this fact. In my view the United States should be held legally responsible for it's funding and arming of a war criminal terrorist state that uses those weapons to murder.

any legitimate court is going to laugh this out of its chambers.

Well if I knew that someone was going to use a gun I planned to give him to murder a lot of people (not to defend themselves) and I still gave it to him would I have any liability when he committed said murders? I do not know; depends on the jurisdiction I suppose.

However, in my view the U.S. should be held legally responsible for it's willful funding of Israeli terror and mayhem.

This situation is no where near as simple as that, and you know it.

It certainly opens up pandora's box. I mean, if Syria pulls this off (which they won't), Israel and the US can turn around and sue Iran and Syria. And it goes on and on and on.

Do you apply the same standard to Iran and Syria?

If a nation had a history of unlawful military aggression and were occupying another peoples land as defined by the 4th Hague Conventions? Hmmm and that nation was being funded by Iran/Syria to continue the occupiers Lebensraum expansion within those lands; I would certainly hold those nations to the same standard. However, Iran and Syria are not funding any nation doing what Israel is doing...

It is precisely that simple; Israel has been practicing Lebensraum colonialism and ethnic cleansing in the Occupied Territories for years while the United States continues to supply them with money and weapons.

The United States has continued to fund Israel as Israel openly defies UN Security Council Resolution and 4th Geneva Conventions. This is very clear and simple. The United States funds Israeli war crime activity...bottom line.
