| Olmert calls on Russian Jews to 'pack their bags' |
| 2006-10-20 |
| Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called on the Russian Jewish community on Thursday to "pack their bags" and emigrate to Israel even though their lives in Russia were "comfortable" and they had a "friendly and supportive" president in Vladimir Putin. Olmert was speaking at an event with the local Jewish community at a Chabad center in Moscow, which was attended by Russian-Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev. At the event, Olmert praised Leviev for his Jewish educational projects throughout Russia. Olmert held separate meetings in the afternoon with a small group of parents of IDF soldiers and another group whose children fell during their army service. |

| #4 While I don't think Israel will willingly attack Russia with missiles, the fact that they CAN should make Putin question his support to Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah. I do expect Israel to whack Tehran and Damascus soon, out of necessity. They may even do some REAL damage to downtown Beirut next time, like take out the Iranian embassy. |

| #3 Olmert knows they'll be held as bargaining chips or hostages, once the plume trails start criss-crossing the skies! If any nations people should 'see the handwriting on the wall' it's the Israelis; (ie 70ce). Bring them home or under the umbrella scope of the US, somewhere else...before the s*** hits the fan! |
