Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has accused right-wing Americans of being responsible for the lack of peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Wealthy Americans ousted him from power and derailed negotiations, he told CNN.

Olmert said he was committed to reaching peace, “But I had to fight against superior powers, including millions and millions of dollars that were transferred from this country [the United States] by figures which were from the extreme right wing that were aimed to topple me as prime minister of Israel.”

Olmert left office amidst accusations of corruption involving several different affairs. His bureau chief has since been convicted in one case.

He declined to name specific individuals who gave money to get him out of office, but said, “I know the names.”

He argued that most Israelis would have supported his planned deal with the PA.

Israel, just like America, is a land divided. A large portion of their (and our) populace is simply, functionally insane, and their (our) leaders, traitorous fools.

Ehud Olmert was a hack city-level politician who managed to finagle himself into a national leadership role. He and other Israeli “leaders” like Shamir, Beilin, Ehud Barak and Tzipi Livni have done their dead-level best to lead Israel to its destruction.

Ehud may engage in self-copulation.

Stalin was vicious in his anti-Jewish attitudes. I think political calculation, personal grudges, family incidents and just a lifetime of being a mass murderer was producing a leader who would have made the hardest czar in history look like Barney the Purple Dinosaur. The Doctor’s Plot was going to be the crowning achievement of a sick life.

Precisely. To him, recognizing Israel was merely one move in a geopolitical chess game, the purpose being to humiliate the British at the UN, not help the Jews, for whom he didn’t give a fig. Long before the doctors’ scandal, he was liquidating Jewish partisan units and fighters in the primeval woods of Eastern Europe.

Is Kadima the party of ass clowns, or what?

I should think that was obvious.

Well, ass clowns need representation, too, I guess. That they actually were in power is what’s scary.
