People seem to hold such hatred for our prime minister. Israel is a civilised country. Most leaders are at least given a honeymoon period to sort things out. Ehud Olmert is the democratically elected prime minister of Israel. That means that the majority Israeli citizens elected him to run our country. When leaders are elected democratically, you don't have to agree to their ideas, but you have to respect the vote of the people and allow the elected leader to carry out his duties. If he does wrong or you disagree to his actions, there is the Knesset, legal demonstrations and media to challenge him. What is so undignified is the constant abuse written by so many disturbed people in different forums. Israel has just elected its 17th Knesset parliament, its history roller coaster. I surely would have liked to have heard the ideas of Yizhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon about Israel's future but someone vial and nauseating, who did not believe in democratic process murdered this great warrior of of Israel, Yizhak Rabin. Ariel Sharon also a great fighter and statesman is not able to help us at this moment. Whatever anyone's political beliefs, how dare anyone challenge our great leader's patriotism and love for their country. Now we have a new leader, terrible and painstaking decisions will have to be made, it is vital that Jewish people throughout the world show respect and understanding of Israel's democratic process and stand by its new prime minister. His success in his job is the wish and yearning of the Israeli people.
This blog has got nothing to do with my political views, but my belief in democracy and the Israeli people !
