"11/01/2009 The Israeli war on Gaza has entered its third week; the number of martyrs is nearing 900 and the number of injured is drawing closer to 4,000. The number of Palestinian victims is not in Tel Aviv’s account as it never had been before, however, the political leadership seems more perplexed and troubled the mounting international "pressure" and "cries" to halt the operation.
In this context, outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert slammed the international cries and expressed deep resentment at the “world”, saying it “mustn't preach morals to Israel.”
"What is acceptable for the rest of the world is barely accepted when it comes to Israel," Olmert said. "No country in the world, including those that preach morals to us, would have shown restraint as we have," he clamed. "We knew this wouldn't be simple, and what is acceptable for every other country in the world is barely accepted when it comes to Israel," he added.
The Israeli PM renewed rejection to UNSC resolution 1860 that called – not demanded - for a “ceasefire” in Gaza. He claimed that nobody but the Zionist entity can decide how best to protect its citizens. "We have never allowed anyone to decide for us whether we are allowed to strike those that hurl bombs at our kindergartens and schools and we never will agree to that in the future," Olmert proudly declared, ignoring that 300 Palestinian children have been killed in the framework of Israel’s alleged “restraint.”
Olmert called the world for "more patience," claiming that Israel was "approaching" the targets, without actually declaring their nature. "More patience, determination and courage are needed for us to achieve those goals in a way that will change the security reality in the south, and for our citizens to feel long-term security and stability," Olmert appealed."
