Do the math. They can't put together an ethnic cleansing government. It would be easier for Olmert to put together a right-of-center government though!

Do the Math. Kadima (the unilateral withdraw party) got 28 seats. The social welfare parties (labor and pensioners) got 28 seats. If you include Meretz they got 33 seats (more than Kadima). None of those three support unilateral moves. The right (likud, NU, IB) got 32 seats. And then the chareidim (who generally oppose pullouts) got 18 seats. If we put Likud and IB in the Labor-Meretz column in agreeing to some sort of negotiated pullout, we have 48 in favor of bilateral withdrawls. As a result, I see a mandate for social welfare (as the chareidim and even NU will support most such programs) and for a negotiated settlement. Kadima is in the minority. They represent 23% of the vote. That's it. Olmert is grandstanding on the principle that if he says it often enough he can fool people into believing its true.

outgoing leadership 'party' was never elected. It was a putsh ledrship and now 33rd on the ast elected partys list inheris illegitamcy of a putsch that calls a referedum which hispredecessor ignored after swearing to be held by it. Such are dictators such asthis poodle inheritor ofputsch and will never debate or allow critical interviews with even government media {oxymoron}. The etrog putsch continues tdestroy and brutalize Jewishlives with pogroms. He has won nothing. attacks continue on Jews. There isno victory t be tired of. But he tires not of attacking Jews who love the sewn andreclaimed with Jewish blood that protects the ret of Jew haters who are not immune to those who come to kill you despite israeli reformed designation. They will be as pins in your eyes until they have their right of return to their homicidal homoland enforced. What referedum with <25% of the plebecite voters? Just like a putsch poople, dreams of grandeur. A dictator he sid he wants to be on PBS FRONTLINE/WORLD,
