"Sky will Fall on Them" Says Israel
No negotiating with the militants, said Olmert about Israel. "This is a long war," Olmert said. "It requires lots of patience, sometimes endless restraint. We have to know when to clench our teeth and to deal a decisive blow." I support Israel and praying for their safety.
