[AP/San Francisco Chronicle] Brooke Donald - Protesters heckled former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert during a speech in San Francisco Thursday, denouncing him as a war criminal and demanding his arrest. Commenting on the protesters, Olmert said he was "impressed by the amount of energy that some of them have," but added, "they know nothing about the facts." Referring to the Goldstone Commission, Olmert said, "To come to Israel ignoring the fact that for 8 years Israel was attacked almost on a daily basis by rockets and missiles, and to talk only about the reaction of Israel, is unfair, is unjust, is unacceptable, is intolerable and Israel will not cooperate with it."
