3. livni to seek international endorsement
Diplomatic engagement is good for a smart gaza operation, but remember, there are times israel has to defend itself without international approval. Right now, it is obvious that Putin has reverted to former soviet union, is quite hostile to israel and is loading arab and iranian regimes with dangerous weapons while playing nice with israel. Olmert has no guts and cannot say no to Putin, no drones , no nothing and that israel will defend itself. Olmert is a weakling of historic proportions propped up by hebrew university academics who have no practical grip on reality. Olmert's record in reality is zero, he bombed as mayor of jeruslaem, he's directly responsible for not doing better in the hezbollah war, he enabled and brought hamas rockets to israel, he signed the death warrants of israeli captives; this is a garbage man who may end up in jail and he has no practical grip on realtiy. He talks in lofty english paragraphs which are totally detached from reality. For example, recently he said Israel neither looks for war nor is afraid of war. Big deal! He brought the gaza withdrawal to Israel, now advocates the wihdrawal from the west bank and the golan like assad is going to be nice to israel all of sudden. Rockets will come in from those areas to tel aviv and barak will have a nervous breakdown. What morons? Olmert has to suffer for his deeds and so far he has not . Mazuz will not indict him. So, israel willl suffer and will be destroyed. The 48 nakba will be reversed and another 6 million jews will be killed by hezbollah and iran. And Olmert and barak will do nothing, paralysed by fear. Stupid israelis, I can only conclude that you deserve your fate.Stand up and defend your bloody state and the memory of the holocaust victims!!!!
