Prime Minister Olmert's hands are stained with the blood of the dead Jewish people in Israel.

From a political standpoint, giving away land for peace can only be accomplished by those who are ideologically against it... The core assumption is fatally flawed: i.e. that the "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" (a nauseatingly neutral term, that) is merely a dispute about land. In fact, it is about the most venomous bigotry and hatred, disguised as religious zeal--not the sort of clash about which it is possible to antiseptically split the difference.
That said, this is a very good article. The author obviously understands Olmert's inherent weaknesses. And that is a good place to start.
