I wonder why Yoav Yitzhak is so desperate to find sensations about Ehud Olmert. After all Mr. Olmert has been a public figure for such a long time. This unceasing hunt for headlines seems to reek of ominous ends. Is it publicity he is looking for?: or could it be that he is trying to change the opinions of the electorate by spreading inconclusive accusations against the acting prime minister. I believe that the Israeli electorate is wise, and that each citizen will vote for the party that he/she believes will have the best solutions for their particular beliefs. I personally am interested in what each party's mandate is, who are their personalities, and if I believe my vote will have an influence to the future of Israel. I want to vote for a party that can keep us secure against our maniacal neighbours, a party that knows how to deal with world leaders, that will improve our education system, make the correct decisions to improve our economy, to make some real and affective decisions to reduce the carnage on our roads and to know how to diffuse the hatred that has brought the Israeli people to the brink of civil war. I do not want to hear the politicians throw mud at each other, nor do I want dangerous journalists to spread vile rumours in order to gain publicity at the cost of ruining the democratic process. I read many forums, and there is so much hatred about, that I pray that the post election era will bring a different attitude to our nation, and that we shall stand proud fierce and united against our enemies, and calm and open minded between our own people that the vapours of hatred will turn to handshakes and respect, each individual to their own beliefs.
