La vérité toute crûe

Olmert answers: “There is nothing to speak about.”

by Uri Avnery

Thursday 20 December 2007

Hamas proposes
A mutual cease-fire:
An end to the launching of Qassams,
An end to incursions and assassinations.

Israeli security experts
Support the acceptance of this offer
But dare not speak up.

The security establishment
Does not want to stop.
As always.

Olmert answers:
“There is nothing to speak about.”

That is a crime against
The inhabitants of Sderot,
Against the inhabitants of Gaza,
Against all of us.

There is somebody to speak with!
