Israel Downplays Hamas Threat (Omert thinks Hamas is not a threat)

JERUSALEM -- Acting Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday that Hamas is not a strategic threat to the Jewish state, signalling that he had no plans to take military action against the violent group, which swept Palestinian elections last month.

As Hamas worked to form a new cabinet, the group struck a deal to receive financing from Iran, a virulent enemy of Israel. Israel threatened to block the money and warned the Palestinians against aligning themselves with an international "pariah."

Hamas, which has killed scores of Israelis in suicide bombings, has rejected international calls to moderate, despite Israel's efforts to isolate the group internationally and western threats to cut off vital financial aid.

Earlier this week, Israel froze the transfer of about $50 million US in monthly taxes it collects for the Palestinians in response to the inauguration of the new Hamas-led parliament on Saturday.

However, it held off on far more severe measures - including sealing the Gaza Strip's border with Israel.

Hamas is getting money from Iran and Omert will not take military action against Hama. Insane.

To be honest, I haven't a clue about Israeli politics, I will text this. If the majority of the Israeli's agree with PM Olmert (Nitwit be upon him), then they will SUFFER, and suffer they will at the hands of the Islamic killers, WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS HELPING!

Keep up that kind of talk and Bibi will assuredly be the next PM.

So seriously, keep up that kind of talk.

No he needs to be kicked out of office, and tried for treason.

[Paul_Denton]

Its a shame Israel does not practice the death sentance, because that is what traitors like him deserve.
