beyond olmert having a good defence team, with all the cash around in all of his case, it is my lay opinion that some of that money made its way and the courts who get paid by the government of which olmert was one time head, and whose leanings are similar to olmert are bending overbackwards to acquit this man. his policiies lost the hebzollah war, 150 israeli dead, had no effective firefightting fleet of aircraft during his rein and he did nothing about it, and his peace offerings would make any business negotiator drop dead on the spot which reveal that his main motivation was his fear of blood. he cannot take even one droo. And in the middle east, you have to be able to look over a place of broken and decapitated bodies, otherwise get the hell out. Now if the courts aided by the way by media articles acquit olmert once again, then israel is finished. Jews should move to obama's america and get out of israel lock, stock and barrel. I reiterate, if there is no real perception of law and the rich can get away with things because of high priced lawyers each and every time, then there is no meaningful legal system to uphold the state. it should then be dismantled and handed over to the invented palestinians who will promptly ransack it and turn it into a bloody garbage dump filled with sewage, slaughtered animals, and wives treated like vassals and whores.
