    Avi Dichter, now a parliament member, was supposed to head an Israeli delegation to a peace conference in Spain beginning Thursday.

    Dichter faced charges of crimes against humanity in Spain for his role in a 2002 airstrike that killed a Hamas commander and 14 civilians in the Gaza Strip.

    The court dropped the suit, but Dichter spokesman Nisan Zeevi said Tuesday that Spain could not guarantee Dichter would not be arrested.

    Pro-Palestinian lawyers have filed a number of war crimes charges against Israeli officials in European courts. No cases have gone ahead, but officials have canceled trips for fear of arrest.

    Poster # 1;But some people (on both sides of the issue) fail to see that. Some (mistakenly) think that they will be spared because they declared their opposition to Zionism and (tried to tell themselves) they hated Israel. To the Goyim, a Yid is a Yid. …The nazis yms”h didn’t distinguish between the biggest Tzaddik and a reform or meshumad. They killed Kanoim & Tziyoinim with the same zeal. It’s time for people to wake up.
