Desperate politicians often take outlandish actions in attempts to save their political skins.
Today, Israel's Prime Minister used the weekly cabinet meeting to call Israel's actions a "disgrace."
As far we can tell Olmert did not condemn Abbas for failing to end Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israel (a rockets continue to fall on Israel.)
No, Olmert limited his criticism to his government for not ejecting Jews from their homes.
Using the terminology of Israel's enemies Olmert declared war on hundreds of thousands of Israelis including 180,000 Jews who live in Jerusalem.
This is another move by Olmert to try and deflect attention away from his personal legal problems and the fallout from the release of a report (from the Winograd Commission)on his government's failings during the mismanaged military engagements in Lebanon. Everyone expects Olmert to come in for severe criticism when the report is issued -- in the very near future.
Tell Olmert to stop jeopardizing Israel's security by supporting the Bush-Rice ill-conceived peace initiative. Israel needs a government that stands up for Israel.

PM Olmert is a complete hipocrite. According to a report in Frontpage News, he is the one who is delaying the evacuation:
Defense officials: Olmert is delaying outpost plan
‘We’ve presented plan to dismantle illegal West Bank outposts 3 times’

Why? Is it because he wants to wage a civil war on Jews Amona style.
And then he calls it a disgrace that the outposts are still there!!
