And that stands not just for Israel, but for everything.
That's why we must turn to the blogs for more.
"Defense minister urges Olmert to step aside; Corruption case hobbles leader, Barak contends" by Isabel Kershner, New York Times News Service | May 29, 2008
JERUSALEM - The political noose around Israel's prime minister, Ehud Olmert, tightened a notch yesterday when the defense minister called on him to remove himself from his post pending the outcome of a high-profile corruption investigation....
The guy was in trouble last year and look where we are.
That's why I don't consider bullshit political fooleys news.
Despite Olmert's reputation as a savvy political survivor, many observers do not give him more than a few months.
"The question," said Gadi Wolfsfeld of Hebrew University's department of political science, "is at what point does the stink become so bad that the politicians feel they can no longer defend him?" That point, he said, seemed very near....
That's what I heard last year at this time; of course, this takes all the attention away from Israel's siege of Palestine, doesn't it (at least, in my Zionist-controlled War Dailies)?
Barak made a similar demand of Olmert a year ago after an official commission published a scathing interim report on the failings of Olmert's government and the military in conducting the 2006 Lebanon war.
At the time, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Olmert's own deputy in Kadima, called on the prime minister to resign.
You see, readers? Why waste time with the political fooleys?
Opponents and former allies now question whether the prime minister has enough focus or moral authority to continue running the affairs of state, which include delicate negotiations with the Palestinians over statehood, decisions about how to deal with Hamas, and indirect peace talks with Syria over the Golan Heights."
Or Israel's war plans for the region!!
Oh, yeah, right, Israel is only interested in peace if you read the Zionist press of AmeriKa!!!
So who would take over, readers?
JERUSALEM - The scandal enveloping Prime Minister Ehud Olmert could force him from power and throw Israel's fractious political system into turmoil.
If Olmert exits and his government falls, polls indicate that hard-liner Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party are well positioned to take power. That would probably have serious implications for the government's efforts to negotiate peace deals with the Palestinians and with Syria....
Right, Olmert is a dove. That's why he smashed Lebanon.
And the timing would be perfect for an attack on Iran, wouldn't it?
Meanwhile, here is what the MSM failed to tell you:
"IOA decides to demolish 3,000 Palestinian homes in the W. Bank
"As of now, there are 3,000 Israeli demolition orders against Palestinian homes in the West Bank that could be carried out immediately and without prior notice," the UN office said in a report it issued on Tuesday over the matter.
"DESMOND TUTU IN GAZA ~~ BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Two years after Archbishop Desmond Tutu was barred from conducting an investigation into the massacre in Beit Hanoun, he finally arrived at his destination. This time without interference from Israel, the country that refused him entrance.... TO PALESTINE. Yesterday he crossed into Gaza at the Rafah checkpoint via Egypt. There WILL be an an investigation and the truth WILL be known.... and hopefully Israel WILL be brought to trial in an International Court of Law.
"PCHR: Eighteen years of work destroyed in less than four hours
"One third of those banned from travel for treatment are children"
"The popular committee against the siege stated Monday that 31 percent of Gaza patients whose travel for medical treatment abroad was not approved by the IOA for flimsy security pretexts are children under age 15."
"Would someone take a good hard look at the kid in the picture in this article, and explain to me with a straight face how they could ever be described as a "security risk"?
This is a sick kid who needs treatment which is being denied by the Israeli government, period, end of discussion." -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened "
