Een Egyptische advokaat is van plan een proces te starten tegen het Joodse volk. De klacht is dat ze, in Bijbelse tijden, het goud van de farao hebben gestolen. Niet echt een sterke claim volgens mij, maar misschien is de aanklacht wel ontvankelijk in Belgie :lol:

Egyptian lawyer to sue Jews for biblical 'plunder'
By Reuters

CAIRO - An Egyptian lawyer said on Wednesday he was
planning to sue the world's Jews for "plundering"
gold during the Exodus from Pharaonic Egypt
thousands of years ago, based on information in
the Bible.

Nabil Hilmi, Dean of the Faculty
of Law at Egypt's al-Zaqaziq
University, said the legal
basis for the case was under
study by a group of lawyers in
Egypt and Europe.

"This is serious, and should not
be misread as being political
against any race. We are just

investigating if a debt is owed," Hilmi told
Reuters in a telephone interview.

The relevant passage from the Bible, Exodus 12
verses 35 to 36 reads: "The Israelites had done
as Moses told them; they had asked the
Egyptians for jewelry of silver and gold, and
for clothing...And so they plundered the
Egyptians." This translation is in the New
Revised Standard Version of the Bible.

Some Jewish commentators say that while the
Biblical passage may be fact, the Hebrews were
enslaved by the Egyptians and therefore had a
right to claim compensation for wages.

"Hilmi's assertion that the Hebrew Bible is fact
has given Israel and Jews the world over a
reason to rejoice. He has opened the door for
all Jews to sue Egypt for over 400 years of
slavery," writer Beth Goodman told Reuters.

Tareq Zaghoul, a lawyer at the Egyptian
Organisation for Human Rights in Cairo, said it
would be difficult to prove historical fact in
the passage that would stand up in court.

"This needs historical documents and evidence to
back it up. It is rather far-fetched," he
said.

Hilmi said Egyptian and European historical and
religious experts were trying to establish if
the biblical passage could be taken as fact,
and hence form the basis for a lawsuit.

He said the argument that Jews could sue Egypt
for enslaving them was also being studied by
experts.

Hilmi gave no details of which court he planned
to file the case in or whether he thought such
a case would be exempt from the sort of statute
of limitations that in many countries rules out
legal cases after a certain period of time.

He also declined to put a value on the goods
"plundered."

Als die Egyptenaar die zaak wint, dan heb ik ook nog een aantal interessante claims liggen...

Dan zullen wij eens een proces beginnen tegen Italië, voor hetgeen Caesar hier uitgevreten heeft. En tegen Noorwegen voor de Vikings, en laten we ook Frankrijk, Spanje, Oostenrijk, Nederland, Duitsland en ieder ander land dat België ooit bezet heeft niet vergeten.

De Engelsen en Fransen mogen Waterloo eens fatsoenlijk komen opruimen.
En de Spanjaarden mogen Lillo terug komen afbreken.

Het zou niet kunnen dat hij de claims van de Joden over waarop ze allemaal wel geen recht hebben omwille van wat er 60 jaar geleden gebeurd is zeker.
