As an Israeli, it hasn't been pleasant to realize all the corruption in our government. The epitome has been Ehud Olmert. One doesn't hear a word defending his behavior. I'd rather he be condemned for the dangerous policies he supported and the lack of proper planning and thinking before the wars he declared. But if it's his selfish corruption that caught him, at least he's out of office. I know that...

As someone who has already said that I think this man has committed war crimes , I shouldn't be surprised by the news that lawyers are stating that, should Olmert ever visit Britain, there is a very good chance that he could be arrested and face trial for war crimes. Neither Olmert nor Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister during the Cast Lead offensive, and a member of Israel's war cabinet, would enjoy...

His sidekick and successor, Ehud Olmert, is not as lucky. He came to America to deliver a speech and found himself face to face with the trouble he wrought, Electronic Intifada...
