Olmert: Only an idiot prime minister would not make peace with Palestinians
Jerusalem Post ^ | 6/1/14 | Noa Amouyel

Posted on 01/06/2014 12:36:36 PM PST by Eleutheria5

Former prime minister Ehud Olmert on Monday insinuated that his successor Binyamin Netanyahu was an “idiot” and that his predecessor Ariel Sharon was revered only after lapsing into a coma.

“In times of peace, even an idiotic prime minister can come out looking good,” he said during a lecture at Hebrew University on Monday.

“Of course, an idiot prime minister cannot make peace, and if he makes peace he’s not an idiot,” after the audience laughed at his veiled tongue-in-cheek reference to Netanayhu, Olmert was quick to backtrack and added, “I mean that only generally, of course. Really!”

The Prime Minister's office declined to respond to Olmert's comments.

Prime Minister Netanyahu should send him to the South Sudan, DPRK or Zimbabwe as an efficiency expert or governmental advisor.

Making peace or not making peace is not the issue. Only an idiot would make a peace with a people that won’t acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.

Olmert’s motivations may be many...but Bibi is not an idiot, he is a wise man.

Making peace with the Palis would be fine - if the Palis would hold up their side of the bargain. But we have historical proof that they won’t. Their stated goal is the destruction of Israel.

That means the only rational response to the Palis to annihilate them.

“Only an idiot would think falsestinians exist.”

If the whole liberal world says you exist and you are what you claim to be it creates a legitimacy that is real in effect if not in “fact.” It is this, their backing by people who can hurt Israel economically, that makes them so dangerous. Israel has lost the propaganda war and with the weight of the MSM, governments, and Arab money against them, it would be impossible to recoup.

The world will, after a few million casualties in America, France, England, and Germany, come over to the right side. But it may be too late by then for Israel. Only time will tell.

a complete idiot fool nincompoop (or else he is afflicted with the all-too-prevalent JSS — Jewish Suicide Syndrome)

it will take the good Christians of the world to protect the Jews, about half of whom suffer from JSS (for which it seems there is no cure)

I read the title wrong at first.

“Olmert: Only an idiot prime minister would make peace with Palestinians”

There, fixed.

I completely trust that Bibi will have his weapons aimed in the right direction, while I similarly trust Zero will have ours aimed poorly.

Christians are afflicted with CSS and also Ostrichitis. Those that know what’s going on throughout Africa and the East don’t care that Christians are being murdered. The rest don’t want to know. Jews, by contrast, know what’s going on in Israel, but think that making piece will stop it, and think that those who refuse to make piece deserve to be killed for failing to be stupid.

“and you are what you claim to be”

Except that they are NOT what they claim to be, propaganda or no. And they never will be. They can’t even make peace with each other.

Yes, Christians really have let down the Christians of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, etc. Muslims slaughter Christians and the world’s Christian countries just stand by (or, as with Obama, send in arms and money to the Muslim murderers).

So logically, Isr cannot expect much help from the world’s Christians. But paradoxically there are still some good Christians who do care and who are not asleep. Whether they can exert sufficient influence to change the Satanic course of the Obana foreign policy.. remains to be seen. Many of them are already very much challenged, busy, burdened fighting Obama’s Satanic domestic, economic and social policies... but we will see.

Meanwhile, if there is ANY way to get the Jewish-Suicide-Syndrome Israelis out of Isr’s government.... retire them, send them to pound sand in Negev, send them to guard the northern border, anything? Having such suicidal idiots spouting off their nonsense only helps Obama and Kerry destroy Israel ...

Only an idiot would think you can make peace with Palestinians by signing some papers and a treaty. Palestinians will always be trying to destroy Israel, the best you can do is keep them at bay. This becomes difficult if you give up strategic land such as Golan Heights and parts of the West Bank
