The day after President Bush delivered a speech on the Middle East calling for the total isolation of Hamas, Italy’s Foreign Minister, Massimo D’Alema, delivered a scathing reproach to this strategy. D’Alema called instead for dialogue with Hamas, “a real force,” in his words, “representing a large section of the Palestinian people.” D’Alema, a true democrat, is concerned that the West is shunning a legitimately elected organization.
This is the same D’Alema who, in 1999, while Prime Minister of Italy, ordered his country’s military to join the air campaign against the democratically elected leader of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic. Had Milosevic been Palestinian and a Hamas leader, would D’Alema have advocated dialogue instead?
I am sorry for Dalia Emanuelov’s loss. My prayers are with her.
May god avenge his blood and may his family find comfort amongst the mourners of Jerusalem and Zion.
Baruch dayan emes
I am praying for the protection of Israel. I send support to the Fellowship, but wish I could do more. Madness. We are fighting madness.
Dalia,
Your son was an honorable young man. I am sorry for your loss.
May God surround you with his Love and Peace during this difficult times.
I am praying for you.
The God of Abraham will soon have the last say. I am so sorry for your loss. I too am praying for the protection and peace for Isreal and her people… (As one state – not divided).
