Poll: Against Ceasefire and Goodwill Measures
Commentary;
This blog does not ordinarily post poll results, but in this case, the Jews must be made to know and to stand up for this reality; Ehud Olmert and his leftist, elitist, punditist regime does NOT have the security and best interests of the Jews in mind by his actions.
Get used to it; Olmert, like Sharon before him will laugh with disdain at empty threats by politicians, the greedy, weak politicians will stick to their seats and their Knesset mandates “like stuck with cement.”
