Israeli Ambassador calls Qanta bombing a Hezbolla war crime
This is the absolute epitome of arrogance. Disgusting!

Why is it that Israel never has to say, "I'm sorry?"

Going on now on George Stephanopoulis interview with the ambassador to the US.

1. Anytime
Whenever, wherever, an ungoverned "group" commits a crime against any other people, ALL PERSONS associated with that "group" are guilty!
The hamas and hizbollah "groups" who are not a true controlled military, are criminal terrorists and should not be considered a political entity!Living as a citizen of and in Israel, all have military obligations to the "nation of Israel". To make any attempt to preserve their rights as a nation is far more sanctioned than the president of the US ordering military actions against a country with no honest reason or purpose.
We must clean up our own act before finding fault with others that most do not know or understand!

2. Sorry, but if a jewish person attacks me, I don't hold all his associates
guilty of the offense. To do so is bigotry, plain and simple.

To hold powerless people accountable for what some in a population does is collective punishment and violates the Geneva Convention.

God help us if all Islamic nations decide to hold all of us accountable for what atrocities our governments commit. I see no logical difference.

3. Danny Ayalon?
You think he's arrogant...


Her Royal Highness (04.22.05)

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3076328,00.html

Anne Ayalon, wife of Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon, says she lives according to "American standards," a lifestyle that apparently permits her to require her housekeeper to bow to her and hurl insults at embassy employees.

<snip>

"It was 2 p.m., and the staff at the official residence of Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon was having lunch. Mrs. Ayalon was irately pacing around them.

"Madam did not like it when we sat down to eat; I could see it on her face," former housekeeper Victoria Estrada said.

"So she came and asked that we take down a picture in the library that had been hanged crookedly. We told her we wanted to finish eating first and then we would fix it," she said. "We had been working straight from 9 a.m. and were starving. I could tell Madam did not like that answer."
Eventually Mrs. Ayalon tended to the matter herself, but when permanent babysitter Virginia Podilla walked into the library, Ayalon exploded.

"Her face turned red and she yelled at Virginia like a crazy person," Estrada recalled.

"She yelled 'Who put that picture there! I had taken it down," former butler Aharon Cohen recalled. "So Virginia told her 'I put (the picture) there, but I am very sorry.'"

In response Ayalon said to her, "No, no, you will bow before me and say you're sorry."

According to Cohen, "she repeated it maybe three times – 'bow again,' she said to her. Podilla then packed up her belongings, threw away her key and said 'I am not coming here anymore.'"
