It’s good to know that Olmert thinks he can make peace with Abbas. Because it’s obvious that Abbas has changed and is totally ready to crack down on terrorism and work towards a two-state solution.
You can tell by the statement he released in response to the IDF’s operations in Gaza earlier today.
“The crimes that were committed in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation must be strongly condemned,” read a statement released by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s office Wednesday.
The statement continued: “This bloody escalation, which was initiated by the Israeli government, is a distinct violation of the tahadiyeh, and will lead to a chain of retaliations and the prolongation of violence.”
The PA chairman’s office went on to say that “this aggression comes only a single day after the Sharm e-Sheikh summit and calls into question whether Israel really intends to seal an agreement and negotiate to end the occupation.
Yep. Sounds to me like a man Israel can work with. Uh-huh. Sure.
If the stakes were not so high it would be comical watching what a putz Olmert is.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me fifteen times…umm…
Otto von Bismarck said “Fools say they learn from experience. I prefer to profit from the experience of others.” So what do we call people who cannot learn even from their own experience? I think putz is a good word for them, Joel.
