Former prime minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday accused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of deliberately strengthening Hamas in order to convince the Israeli public that there is no Palestinian partner for peace. Olmert’s comments came after PA President Mahmoud Abbas made a rare verbal concession to Israel, saying he had no permanent claim on the town from which he left as a child during the War of Independence in 1948, in an interview with Channel 2.

“The government has taken steps to strengthen Hamas and to weaken the PA, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, an organization which espouses non-violence and negotiations for peace,” Olmert said. “This kind of policy towards the only possible peace partner between us and the Palestinians is irresponsible and harms the vital interests of the State of Israel.

Who is Olmert trying to kid? Fatah and Hamas are the exact same thing, and land for peace war will result in the exact same thing that it has given Israel in the past—more war. Then again, this is a fellow who is actually “tired of winning … tired of defeating (Israel’s) enemies”, so it really is a wonder that he has any credibility left.
