This is via Ha'aretz:
Three Jewish Moroccans have submitted Rabat's high court with a petition against Defense Minister Amir Peretz, accusing the Moroccan-born Israeli of war crimes.
Leftist activist Abraham Tsarfati, author Amran al-Malich and human rights group official Zion Asidon claim Peretz may be tried in their country due to his Moroccan citizenship.
"The criminal terrorist, Zionist Amir Peretz, has retained his Moroccan citizenship and is still registered in Morocco's census," the three told reporters during a press conference. "Moroccan law allows the trial of any Moroccan national who has committed war crimes in or out of the country."
The story is followed by a comment thread. One poster, "Alex," makes a good point:
When jews in an islamic country say such things, it is a sign there is a crisis there for jews. They must be under pressure from fellow citizens of that country and/or the government of Morroco. In either case, it is a bad sign. Jews who live in Islamic countries, especially fanatic countries such Morroco or Iran(especially) should get out as soon as they can, regardless of circumstances.
