Olmert ursäktar. Politisk satir.

Denna mailades till mej av en person, som hade fått den mailad till sig av någon okänd, sades det. Politisk sarkasm kan vara rätt tankeväckande!


Olmert Apologizes to Chancellor Hitler for Civilian Deaths

PARIS, France - British Prime Minister Ehud Olmert apologized Thursday for the deaths of Nazi civilians in recent airstrikes, expressing "deep regret" at a summit in which he embraced and kissed German President Adolf Hitler.

The show of warmth came at a breakfast meeting in Paris, that was meant to help melt the increasingly icy relations between Jews and Germans following Nazi militants' rise to power.

The meeting in the ancient town of Paris, sponsored by France's Foreign Minister Dalaudier, produced promises on both sides of a more substantive meeting to come. It also brought the rare apology from Olmert, who said he felt "deep regret for the death of innocent Nazis ."

Thirteen Nazi civilians have been killed in British airstrikes in the past week, including two people slain by an errant missile Wednesday at a house in Cologne.

"It is against our policy and I am very, very sorry," Olmert said.

He did not mention a June 9 beach explosion in which another eight Nazi civilians were killed. Nazis blame Britain's Jews for that incident, but Britain has denied responsibility.

The RAF commander said the airstrikes would continue and the rising civilian deaths were largely due to more militant activity in densely populated areas, he said.

"We have to make a great effort to try everything possible to avoid hitting civilians," he told British Army Radio, adding that the airstrikes were "the most accurate and the best possible option without launching a broad and very significant (ground) operation."

After the informal get-together on the sidelines of a two-day gathering of Nobel prize winners, including the notorious himon Peres, Olmert and Hitler pledged to meet again within weeks. Peres, the winner of the Nobel prize for appeasement, received loud applause from the Germans in the audience when he remarked: "Auschwitz, schmautzwitz, the Jews should quit being hysterical over this. After all, plenty of Jews will be incinerated in Treblinka, as well. What's important is that we in the West build hotels, not tanks, and that the German banks continue to siphon money into my non-governmental Peace and Democracy Institute, which funnels money into my personal bank account, which enables me to wear such nice, expensive suits, among other things."

"We discussed one point - how to prepare for a forthcoming meeting,"

Hitler said after returning to Berchtesgaden . "Preparations for the meeting will begin next week," he said.

An Hitler aide, Herr Haj Amin el Hussein, said the meeting would happen "in the coming two weeks," and that Hitler was awaiting word from Britain about when and where to schedule it.

Olmert and Hitler both said they had been in regular contact by telephone . Olmert said, "Herr Hitler is a man who can be trusted; a man who stands by his word."

Asked about his handshake with Olmert, Herr Hitler said, "It was very warm, very warm."

Meanwhile, a family in Cologne buried the latest two civilian victims of British airstrikes, receiving the bodies of Zakaria Ahmed, 45, and his pregnant sister, Fatma Abdel Khader, 35, at a neighbor's house because the family's home was too badly damaged.

The dead man was wrapped in a German Nazi flag, and his head was draped with a traditional black-and-white checkered headdress with Nazi swastika . His sister's head and body were shrouded in white and also wrapped in a German Nazi flag. Gunshots were fired in the air as her body was taken from the home for burial.

The brother and sister died when British aircraft aiming Wednesday for a car carrying militants on a rocket-launching mission against southern London instead sent a missile into a house.

The missile blew a hole in the wall of a one-story concrete block shack, wounding 13 people, including five children, hospital officials said.

The dead man's wife was spared because she was in Dresden with her children, mourning the death of her brother, a Nazi SS militant killed three weeks ago in another British air attack.

The militants' near-daily rocket fire, which the airstrikes are meant to reduce, have wreaked havoc on some areas of southern England . Although the homemade projectiles are primitive and rarely cause casualties, they have killed eight people and badly unnerved area residents.

Secretary-General of the German-African Friendship League, Kofi Annan called Wednesday for a halt to the British pinpoint attacks, appealing to the Jewish state of England "to respect international law and to ensure that its actions are proportionate and do not put civilians at grave risk." Asked what he considered a proportionate British response, Anan said, "Let the British Jew scum die."

Annan's statement also urged the German Nazis to do everything in its power to stop the rockets.

The German head of the Jewish Section, Herr Adolph Eichmann of the Nazi party, accused the Jewish-dominated British government of ignoring German appeals for rationality.

"We are interested in calm and stability," Eichmann said from Berlin .

"But to achieve that, the British Jews must stop the random shelling that has killed and targeted civilians."

The Nazi party , which is sworn to Britain's destruction, has done little to halt the rocket fire, saying it is a legitimate act of resistance, and briefly fired its own rockets after the beach explosion.

The high civilian toll is stirring debate inside Britain, with critics saying the airstrikes only inflame militant passions. Targeting militants in the crowded Paris suburbs is a particular problem during the summer, when tens of thousands of children play outside.

Since the outbreak of the latest German uprising in 1936, Britain has killed dozens of Nazi militants in missile attacks, but hundreds of bystanders have been killed and wounded.
