Olmert's Way Of Celebrating Ramadan Different Than The Time That Syria And Egypt Celebrated Ramadan By Trying To Wipe Out Israel

There's not really much to this story beyond the obligatory expression of outrage, which we're more than happy to farm out to Carl at Israel Matzav. But it is interesting to see the different ways that Israel and its Arab enemies honor Ramadan. Olmert:

Cabinet ministers are expected on Sunday to discuss the release of 100 Palestinian prisoners before Ramadan as a good-will gesture, government officials said Saturday night. If the release is approved, it would likely be discussed and possibly announced at a planned meeting Monday in Jerusalem between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

And then there's the Egyptian and Syrian approach to honoring Ramadan. We'll be linking back to this post in the next few weeks every time some Western outlet passes on Muslim expressions of outrage about how the US or Israel would defile the Holy Month Of Ramadan (tm) by defending themselves.

If you want something particularly depressing out of that main JPost article, click through and search for the phrase "land bridge". Happy Sunday.
