Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is to hold talks Monday with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon , amid media reports that in the wake of the Beslan tragedy, Israel is to propose unprecedented anti-terrorism security cooperation with Russia, including sharing of sensitive intelligence data.
"I believe we have to draw lessons from this appalling crime," Lavrov said. "Terrorism can be stopped only by uniting efforts of all the states. Russia will fight this evil resolutely and uncompromisingly in the framework of the anti-terrorist coalition. We hope that the solidarity with our country shown by our partners will become a driving force behind the worldwide struggle against this scourge of the 21st century."
Asked whether Russia is continuing the Soviet Union's traditional pro-Arab policy, he responded: "Russia's policy is neither pro-Arab nor pro-Israeli. It is directed at securing Russian national interests. Among those is the maintenance of close, friendly ties both with Arab countries and Israel."

Israel did allow some communists in. That was a big mistake. It should extended the precident of the Eichmann trial to try the criminals.
Don't forget the fatal footwear and the vagina bombs.
Arabs seem to be quite inventive in killing themselves.
Given that for at least 14 centuries the Arabs' favorite hobby has been killing other Arabs, this makes perfect sense. No doubt they blame the Israelis for spoiling their fun.
Hmm..
Was gonna say something about arabs not being as good at killing arabs as they thought..
But I'll quit now while I'm able to.
They will eventually hit a 'wall' with the fertility rate and begin to decline.
The uppity Jewish FReeper would like to tell you to kiss her ass.
Yes! Get the IDF and the Mossad in there helping with security. Way to go! And I applaud Israel for being open to help Russia, in spite of the past anti-Semitism in the Russian state.
Think "king of the North". This is quite a shift in international alliances.
Remember how the Pali terrorists attacked that Israeli school in Maalot approx. 25 years ago. The world ignored Islamic terrorism against Israeli children -- now the world sees that all their children are at risk from Islamofascist terrorism and Western appeasement of same.
I was wondering when the Viking Kitty would strike.
I thought they usually hit a wall with a truck bomb. Thanks for the update.
*wincing*
Well, there is that.
Too bad we can't get the old tribal differences within the arabs to be an issue with them again.
Inter-tribal fighting is always a good thing with them.
If they're too busy to bother with us they're vulnerable.
*sigh*
pipe dream on my part though.
YOU can Kiss MY RICH ass.
OOooh.
Testy.
Your disgust for Israel won't last long on FR.
