Quoting Netanyahu, he said: "any
people that considers murderers and
suicide killers as martyrs is not a part-
ner in peace. We will wait for a decent
Palestinian leadership to arise."
Keynote speaker Col. Ze'ev Snir,
retired from the Israel Air Force aero-
nautics department, told of the three
threats against Israel that forced Israel
to take action: long-range missiles from
Iran and Iraq, rocket attacks from
Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and
most importantly, Palestinian terrorism.
"In March, 125 Israelis, most of
them civilians, were killed by
Palestinian terrorist attacks, all this
while Israel was trying to negotiate," he
said. The Passover suicide bombing in
Netanya "did not leave us any choice
but to defend ourselves."

"Great work
Gittleman"

IF YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE, YOU KNOW
WHAT TO LOOK FOR.

That was certainly the case with Ingrid and Michael Day,
who had experience building previous homes prior to
selecting Gittleman Construction to provide roughly
1,800 square feet of addition and renovation space to
their 1960's Bloomfield Township residence.

We have done a lot of building," Ingrid said. " We've
never had a process go as smoothly as our job with
Gittleman. They said we would be out and back within
six months and they were true to their word. It's now
been about two years, and we've had no problems.
"Gittleman really knew what they were doing and it
showed. I'd recommend them to anyone."
So, if you're looking to add-on or remodel, why not put one of Southeast Michigan's most trusted names in
residential construction to work for you? With an emphasis on function, aesthetics and budget, Gittleman
Construction is committed to exceeding your highest expectations.

JUST ASK THE DAYS.

Call today, and discover how easily Gittleman can convert your dream home into reality.
