Olmert, Served Enough or Long Way to Go?
I’m not the only one to consider his “punishment” much too short. What’s twenty-seven 27 months when those awful projects he approved will last for decades if not longer? And then he davka got early release which reduces his prison time to only sixteen 16 months.
Amazing YouTube Videos – Yom Kippur Dogfight!
Dogfight in the 1973 war. Israeli ace pilot against crazy Egyptian pilot. Guess who wins!
