At risk of drawing inappropriate comparisons, Our sages tell us that King David had doubtful descendants, and he suffered greatly for some of his actions, but in spite of his most recent actions, Olmert has used his position for his personal benefit, and the benefit of his associates more than once.
He acted in Gaza on account of force of circumstance, more than a sense of conviction. What else could he do after he failed so miserably in Lebanon?! He was willing to turn Jerusalem into another Nicosia. He was the first PM to be called upon by the police to look into his personal affairs while still in office. Should I miss that, no, I don`t.
Natanyahu has his cigars, and his neo-Liberal ideology, yet, he has seen what his policies have wrought. Maybe his actions will be more in line with "the little people", I hope. Natanyahu has never left his roots in his movement. Olmert, I fear has strayed far from them. Better Bibi than Ehud any day, for me, at least |
