"We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want that we will be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies."
(Ehud Olmert Address at Israel Policy Forum, New York, June 9, 2005)
Israelis want to win but their current Prime Minister wants to lose. And so it goes that the Israeli Cabinet voted 24-0 to accept the UN Resolution 1701 and defeat with only a lone solitary cabinet minister abstaining.
Olmert might be tired of fighting and winning but that didn’t stop Montana and I from walking up the street to attend the Anti-Hezbollah counterrally held yesterday in Toronto. Early on Montana was enlisted to give Right Girl a break and he held up her end of an Israeli flag. All the usual suspects were in attendance on the Pro-Hezbollah side (including CUPE supporters). Right Girl and Relapsed Catholic have pictures.
By the time the Pro-Hezbollah supporters made it to the US Consulate the Israeli flag burning had begun.
