Respect from Nasrallah

If I were to write of the current Israeli shenanigans, with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni calling for PM Ehud Olmert to resign, that, far from using the Winograd Commission as a stick with which to beat Israel, it shows how self-critical and real Israeli democracy is, I would not be alone in such a thought.

It's shared by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah :

 

It is worthy of respect that an investigative commission appointed by Olmert condemns him...When the enemy entity acts honestly and sincerely, you cannot but respect it.

He did not, of course, go on to ask where is the Commission within Lebanon into Hezbollah’s status, where is the Saudi Commission into its funding of Islamist terror, or where is the Iranian Commission into its funding for Hezbollah?
