Olmert condemns settler ‘pogrom’

BBC: “As a Jew, I was ashamed at the scenes of Jews opening fire at innocent Arabs in Hebron. There is no other definition than the term ‘pogrom’ to describe what I have seen,” he told Cabinet members, according to public radio. [He’s absolutely right, but don’t you just love how politicians who are leaving office and are not worried about re-election all of a sudden tell us what they’re really thinking? Also, if he could only extend that same sentiment to his administration’s ruthless bombardment of “innocent Arabs” in Lebanon 2 years ago, the transformation of the Gaza Strip into a giant concentration camp, the West Bank, etc.]
