I imagine they will knock all the settlements down that they just built when they leave also. Geesh.

"I will pull out from territories, not from every inch, I have no commitment to the boundaries [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] Abu Mazen is demanding [a withdrawal to the 1967 lines]. This we will negotiate and I will make compromises. There will be blocs of settlements that cannot be evacuated. And there will be many, many settlements vacated by Israel which would give the Palestinians territorial contiguity in which they can realize their dream of a Palestinian state," Olmert said.

He is delusional. His only making his abject, mortal enemy stronger. There will be no peace...it will be to Israel's suffering. ISrael's very leaders are dancing with the devil.

given the choice, he would remain on land vacated by Israel in the West Bank under Palestinian sovereignty if his safety was guaranteed by the Palestinian Authority.

More dilusion...this time from a citizen. The Palestinians are not going to make life safe for any jew living within their new boundaries. IMHO, they are and always have been dedicated to the extinction of Israel as a state and of Israelis as free people.

Olmert: "No one will accept our unilateral withdrawal.
To do it will help the terrorists and hurt Israel.
Sounds good to me.
Then I'll apologize for the terrorists' murder of 'Palestinians' again
and help the terrorists target some more innocent Jews and Christians.
My daughter will like that."

Olmert is delusional if he thinks that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will ever end unless Israel is completely victorious.

A contiguous Palestinian state will guarantee that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will continue until Israel is defeated.

Olmert seems like a fool to me and it saddens me that Israel is being misled by him.

It's clear that Jimmy Carter and Olmert talk on the phone every night. God help Israel.
