Israel Matzav

And you thought the Norwegians and the Swedes were the Scandanavian moonbats

Until today, I thought that the Danes were the 'normal' Scandanavians, and that it was the Norwegians and the Swedes who were moonbats. Now, I think the Danes have caught the disease.

A left-wing lawmaker wanted Israel's foreign minister detained during her visit in Denmark Monday, saying that as an Israeli Cabinet member, she is partly responsible for alleged war crimes in Lebanon.

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni arrived in Denmark Monday and met Tuesday with Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller.
Frank Aaen of the small, left-wing opposition Red-Green Alliance said Livni should be detained upon arrival. He said he had reported Livni to Danish police.

"I believe the minister should be detained while it is being investigated whether she can be charged for war crimes," he said in a statement.

Aaen cited an Amnesty International report last week that accused Israel of war crimes, saying Israel broke international law by deliberately targeting Lebanon's civilian infrastructure during its 34-day war with Hezbollah guerrillas.

The Danish government did not comment on Aaen's statement and police were unlikely to detain the Israeli official.

Fear not, my friends. Aean is an equal opportunity terrorist pursuer:

Aaen said he would also demand that Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah be detained if he were to travel to Denmark.

"Hezbollah's war crimes can not be measured with those of Israel, but all war criminals must be prosecuted," he said.
