Let's not become confused

Even today, the enemy holds children with one hand and fires on Israeli civilians and soldiers with the other, and the world uses false scales to weigh Israel's morality.

...

We cannot become confused and allow the world and ourselves, and particularly the Arab citizens of Israel who live among us, to turn things upside down. Hezbollah, like Palestinian terror, harms women and children with malice in a systematic fashion. We do it rarely and by mistake. These things must be said just because things that are self evident tend to be forgotten.

...

It is not easy to write these words, and I hope that the hostages will return home soon and in good health, but the unequivocal opposition to releasing terrorists in exchange for the hostages, to which Olmert is adhering for the time being, is well anchored in the bloody reality in which we live. Fourteen of the mass terrorist attacks in recent years were carried out by freed terrorists. Dozens of attacks in which hundreds of more people were killed or wounded were also organized by freed terrorists.
