al-Reuters has the
story. And it is a good one. Here is a taste:
"Where do they get the right to preach to Israel?" Olmert said when asked about criticism from European capitals of Israeli military operations that have led to a heavy civilian toll.
"European countries attacked Kosovo and killed ten thousand civilians. Ten thousand! And none of these countries had to suffer before that from a single rocket.
"I'm not saying it was wrong to intervene in Kosovo. But please: Don't preach to us about the treatment of civilians."
Israel understands the war on terror better than anyone else...which makes sense because they have been fighting it longer than anyone else. Evidence of that here:
Olmert said Hizbollah was being defeated but it was not possible to eradicate a grass-roots guerrilla movement.
"They are beaten but it is not possible to completely destroy the[m]. Israel has nevertheless been more successful than any other country in the battle against a guerrilla organization."
Very true... Which reminds me that vigilence is the best weapon to deploy against the Islamofascist threat.
