  Posted by Billbar from Alternet
  What Israel and its benefactor -- the United States -- really want is to destroy the democratically elected Hamas government. Israeli President Ehud Olmert made the astounding statement that "the lives and well-being of Sderot's [Jewish] residents are more important than the deaths of dozens of Palestinian innocents." The Associated Press quoted Olmert as saying, "I want no one to sleep at night in Gaza. I want them to know what it feels like."
