An inseparable part of Israel
Deutsche Presse is reporting that Ehud Olmert is quoted as saying "As long as I am prime minister, the Golan Heights will be in our hands because it is an inseparable part of the State of Israel." According to DP, the quote appears in the ultra-Orthodox publication Family. I can't find the original, however the story is also covered as a dispatch at Le Monde.
Olmert's problems aren't going away. Ha'aretz reports that a team of investigators from the State Comptroller Office questioned hin for 45 minutes on Monday in his office regarding suspicions he had received a bribe. link.
I didn't start out writing a "Happy New Year" post featuring the dumb and corrupt, but it worked out that way.
