"The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."

Famous quote from the late Abba Eban.

We can only pray that they will continue that pattern.

When can Israelis vote Olmert out of office?

We have been asking that question many times here in eager anticipation of such an event. But it's a parliamentary system (patterned after Britain, to some extent) so the ruling clique determines when the next election is to come, within a maximum time frame. Unless the current government is booted out by a motion of "no confidence", Olmert can hold on for several more years, as bad as that sounds.

Can someone help me out on when Olmert's maximum term expires?

Let's hope that this results in her finding her next Ronald Reagan.

Bibi Netanyahu? He was just re-elected as the head of Likud the other day.

It has NO chance of being implemented. What are they really agreeing? A declaration of peace on paper? That will broken like all the other accords before. Ehud Olmert is the stupidest Prime Minister Israel has ever had. Reality does not seem to permeate the "peace" fog in his brain.

From your mouth to G-Ds ear hopefully.
