Sharon’s Appointments Defeated Despite Compromise, Olmert Ratified for Finance Minister, Sharon Vows Revenge Against Rebels

Knesset Rejects Sharon’s Appointments, Olmert Appointment Ratified, Sharon Vows Consequences Against Likud Rebels

Excerpts regarding “Compromise”;

“The Likud mediators, MKs Gideon Sa’ar and Michael Eitan, will present a proposal on Monday in the Likud Knesset faction that they hope will guarantee the party six months without disputes. But the proposal makes no mention of Monday’s vote, and Likud rebel MKs said that they would accept the proposal but oppose the appointments, almost guaranteeing the appointments’ failure.”

“‘Compromises are good, but not when one side says that they don’t start until later,’ a senior Sharon associate said. ‘The goal of the compromise was to allow Sharon to appoint the ministers. You can’t call it a compromise if one side gives and the other side gives nothing. It’s like saying you give me NIS 1000 and I will hit you in the face.'”

“You can’t call it a compromise if one side gives and the other side gives nothing. It’s like saying you give me NIS 1000 and I will hit you in the face?” Isn’t that exactly what Sharon and his Stooge Bassi did to the Gush Katif and Shomron refugees — every step of the way, including the non-existent “compensation”?
