Olmert's Hypocrisy

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke before a joint session of Congress. During his speech he spoke about the terror attacks his country faced (and continues to face). He spoke about his memories of Galila, a twelve year old Ethiopian immigrant, who was killed in a suicide bombing while he was mayor of Jerusalem. He also spoke of the murder of Daniel Wultz, a 16 year old from Florida who succumbed to the wounds inflicted from the last suicide bombing in Israel.

He tried implying that their lives are important to him and that he will do everything in his power to bring the terrorists to justice. But his actions speak louder than his words. He must understand that the Ahmadinejad didn't become what he is today overnight. It took time for him to build his way up. When Olmert allows the Palestinian terrorists to do as they wish he is only emboldening them. His rewards to the terrorists - the Gaza expulsion this summer and the expulsion of Amona - speak louder than the words he told the members of Congress.

The blood of innocent Israelis and Palestinians who were killed as a result of the continued violence rests on his shoulders. Yet he has the nerve to use people who have died for something which he himself doesn't believe in only so that he can broaden his political power. Shame on you Olmert!
