A Common Enemy


(Maariv-Hebrew) Amit Cohen - Steve Pomerantz, 60, former head of the FBI's Anti-Terror Unit, was in Israel for the third international conference on terror at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya. In an interview, he said: We have a common enemy and the American public understands this. It understands that there is no difference between Hamas, Islamic Jihad, al-Qaeda, and Hizballah. I don't believe in negotiating with terrorists. I don't believe in negotiating with a gun at your head. I don't believe in compromise with them. It's not possible to reach a ceasefire with terror organizations. All you can do is fight against them and take them apart. Unfortunately, Israel is the world's leading expert on terror, with regard to both prevention and reaction. After you've seen a bus that's been blown up, you don't want to hear about the difficult life and troubles of the person who blew up the bus. Nothing can justify this.
