1. The soldiers were displaying IDF military flags at a music festival. This was not allowed by festival organizers and obviously pissed some people off.

2. These soldiers were then taken in for questioning.

It's not clear to me that these 2 were some of the specific 1,000 soldiers from that Hind Rajab Foundation report - that sounded like an associated piece of information given in the article.

The founders of the foundation, Dyab Abou Jahjah and Karim Hassoun, are known to campaign and provide material support to Hezbollah - a terrorist organization. Diab Abou Jahjah actually went to Lebanon and may have actually participated in Hezbollah operations - he declared his intent to do so in the newspaper before leaving, but was not so stupid as to confirm it afterwards. So there is no proof he actually fought for them. It IS proven that he transferred money to Hezbollah and collected money from others for Hezbollah (which is by the way a war crime, in case that convinces anyone. Knowingly supporting terrorist organizations, which he did, is a war crime)

Socialists in Belgium protect especially Mr. Jahjah because he's been part of a Belgian communist party for a long time. Of course, that doesn't change what he did.

But it would still be VERY surprising that any court would take any complaint about terrorism from a terrorist supporter, from a person who left for a war zone declaring his intent to become a terrorist in the newspaper, seriously. Especially given other problems with people who did that, and the fact that the Belgian police force is, and I'm putting it very mildly, not particularly well suited or interested in fighting a foreign war ...

Of course, this would be pretty typical strategy for the PVDA. Making legal complaints that are so absurd there's zero chance any court will do anything, then "pointing out" how unfair the justice system is and how it will always protect the capitalists (previously usually represented by OpenVLD, but more recently by the NVA). It's probably a decade ago, but they sued a hotel chain for refusing to convert a central hotel in Antwerp into social housing for free, and then made a big fuss when the court said what amounted to "WTF?".

"pro-Israel narrative"??? On HN? You must be reading a different site.

While I didn't flag this, it's really not hard to see how (a) there is nothing about it that is relevant to tech, hacking or entrepreneurship, but more importantly (b) it's the topic that predictably leads to a dumpster fire of comments.
