Egyptian MPs Sue Sharon
2005-04-15
Members of the Egyptian Parliament filed on Wednesday a lawsuit against Israel and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon demanding compensation for the killings and torture of thousands of Egyptian prisoners of war during the 1956 and 1967 wars.
I think they've got too much time on their hands, myself.
The Higher Administrative Court of Egypt ordered the ministries of foreign affairs and defense to present the court with evidence so that the Egyptian government can sue Israel in the International Criminal Court.
I see the ICC's being used for the purposes for which it was intended from the first...

#1  Countersuit for the years of Israelite slavery at the hands of an unnamed Egyptian pharoah? Plus, of course, the murder of several years of Israelite sons. And throw in currently allowing arms smuggling through tunnels into the Gaza Strip for good measure.
