When your neighbors accept the latter, give us a call.
I've lost sympathy for Israel. They're making their own beds.
Olmert is a putz.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
“I’ve lost sympathy for Israel. They’re making their own beds.”
Hard to blame you, but consider that this is a reflection on the leadership, not the people. Granted, people often get the leaders they deserve, but Olmert got in the back door as Sharon’s chief flunky. As bad as Sharon had turned out to be when he executed the “disengagement” from Gaza, Olmert turned out to be 100 times worse. Also, the Israeli political system, often touted as a model of middle east democracy, is just a notch above banana republic in the pantheon of principled governance.
I hope you’ll still pray for the welfare of Israel, if not for her leaders, as in Olmert who is, indeed the supreme putz. IMO the worst ever in Israel by far.
