Etgar Keret and his wife Shira Geffen, Israeli writers and filmmakers both, make an appeal to Olmert:

This is just one simple advice from two citizens to the prime minister they did not even vote for: When you write down the various diplomatic and military options available to you, cross out those that pose a risk of wiping out kindergartens. That’s it.

Keep all the other options, weigh them carefully, and choose whatever you see fit. Yet in respect to all the options that may end up killing a double-digit figure of children – take a red pen and cross them out. Even if on the face of it they appear to be promoting our future or our children’s future, or even the future of peace in the Middle East.
