From Washington to Jerusalem, The War on Terror Must Go On
(Forward) Ehud Olmert - Israelis felt a natural sense of empathy for and identification with what Washington-area residents were experiencing when they were under attack by snipers. We Israelis know all too well the intense fear, despair, and uncertainty felt when entire communities are held prisoner to the whims of crazed serial murderers. As mayor of the Israeli city hardest hit by terrorism, I can only watch with envy as residents of greater Washington resume their normal lives. For the families of Jerusalem it is as if we are still facing a myriad of snipers. Only the continued incursions into the Palestinian areas, such as the current one in Jenin, can assure that we will keep the terrorist networks weakened, if not completely destroyed.
