Olmert’s wicked humour

On 1 February, Olmert “warned that there would be a "fierce and disproportionate" Israeli response in the event that rockets continue to be fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel or directed Israel Defense Forces soldiers.” 1

One wonders how he would qualify the recent Gaza invasion with 1,300 Palestinians killed against 13 Israeli (mostly killed by friendly fire). ?

In fact this is not humour, Olmert does not know what humour is. It is desperation: after such an effort, after being criticized by the world at large, after managing to get even the UN Secretary-General upset, all for gaining some votes at the next elections, rockets continue to fall on Israel (not many, four lately, with no damages). This is lese-majesty but above all makes him lose face. This is unacceptable.

So let us expect 2,600 Palestinians killed in the next 10 days. All this to gain some votes at the next polls and to allow Olmert to feel that he is a great man.
