Israel's justice system has placed a news blackout of its latest investigation of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. So like a water leak that is not properly plugged the "story" that is banned in Israel has been smuggled to the United States and it appears in today's New York Post.
What's more important than the details of this sordid affair that involves Olmert allegedly pocketing cash that he should not have in his possession is that Israel's ruling class believes that the Prime Minister is losing his ability to stay in office.
Earlier today, One Jerusalem heard from a reliable source that Foreign Minister Livni was busy calling fellow Kadima members asking for their support for her desire to succeed Olmert. Y net is running a story about Kadima bracing for the worst - new elections. Meanwhile Transportation Minister Mofaz is positioning himself to the Right of Livni by declaring that Jerusalem should be taken off the negotiating table.
Having witnessed Olmert escape certain death in the past we will not be convinced of his political demise until he is actually out office, but it does appear his days are numbered. Condi Rice will undoubtedly be praying for Livni to succeed Olmert because she has proven herself to be dedicated to creating a Palestinian State that will divide Jerusalem. The last thing Condi wants is new elections, because they would likely bring in a government that will end Condi's charade of "peace" under the present chaotic circumstances.
Boruch Hashem!!
It is a miracle that this conniver who all thinking people are aware of in this world may with Gd's Help be sent down.
I hope that his poitical party will appoint a proper ardent israeli JEWISH personality to
lead Israeli and world destiny. Enough of these
shady monsters!
What a wonderful 60th. Birthday Present it is!
Let him be gone and forgotten.
In Yiddish we say a Shane Rayne Kappora!

We say we pray Olmert's time is up. Land for peace never works. Condi Rice and G. Bush are nuts to think it does.
We voted for Bush twice and would love to have 15 minutes with him to tell him what the Bible says. The land belongs to the Jews forever. If Jerusalem is divided, then we truly are living in the end times. The epicenter of the world is Israel, Jerusalem to be precise. If we all keep our eyes on her, we will know just how close we are to the last big war.
WE PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.

Israel needs another Benyamin Netanyahu - a strong man. After six decades the Israeli people sjojld be well aware that there are very few "Palestinians" who can be trusted.
Their children do not have one onest text that shows the existence of the State of Israel, and they are taught to hate to and kill Jews. Whomsoever trusts present day Palestinians are idiots, including Condoleezza Rice. U.S. Secretaryh of State.

It is too soon to take a serious read of the situation at this moment. Speculation in Israeli politics is a waste of breath. Nonetheless, general elections would definitely be the best option for the public to finally partake in their own fate. Having a prime minister who dictates instead of follows the wishes and needs of the people he represents can only mean disaster for the public. It is so sad to say this--or even think it--Mr. Olmert will hopefully be out of office in the near future, and Foreign Minister Livni will or at least should follow him into civilian life. Israel has lost the last several years with leadership failing to help the people lead lives in security. Accordingly, Israel needs a leader who will protect the security of the people. Neither Mr. Olmert nor Ms. Livni is interested in security: their interest seems to be in the complete dismantling of the Israeli foundation and the creation of a Palestinian entity from the Mediterranean to the Jordan: Giving up any part of the West Bank or Jerusalem would be tantamount to the suicide of the entire Jewish state.
