Is this plausible?
Circulating in cyberspace, from Greensboro's own Badi Ali:
"Put Ehud Olmert on Trial for Crimes Against Humanity," the headline reads.
"Jamaat al-Muslimeen leader Imam Badi Ali has called on the Muslim
world and its friends to put Israeli leader Ehud Olmert on trial for
crimes against humanity in Gaza and Lebanon. We will compile Israeli
crimes, take them to an impartial international tribunal and put Olmert on trial."
"Please send information on Israeli crimes to Imam Ali at:
badi323@aol.com"
Will this go anywhere? What about Hezbollah?

I'd have to examine the evidence objectively before deciding if it could "go anywhere." Personally, I think the creation of the state of Israel was one of the biggest mistakes of history. But that's perhaps beside the point.
I don't know if Israel's relations with the Palestinian people since day 1 could be said to contain "crimes against humanity," but it really should be examined, if a tenth of what I've read is true. As far as Olmert's actions recently are concerned... I wish I could have a clear, dispassionate view of everything that has been going on in that area. Sadly, that is next to impossible.
You ask "What about Hezbollah"? The question regards crimes by Israel. Does "revenge" excuse such crimes? Somehow, I wouldn't think so.
