Here, Barak of the IRIS Blog adds commentary to that of Steven Plaut in asserting that the masquerade and make-pretend games that recent Israeli regimes have played with the people are over, at least for the present.

However, if the people don’t get tough and show the politicians, in no uncertain terms, that the charade is over and that we, the Jewish people, will no longer complacently fall for the spin which a Regime puts on good-guys/bad guys among the Arab enemy, the next governing regime will dress up a new set of good-guys/bad guys to sell to the gullible.

The Metamorphosis of Ehud Olmert

Excerpts;

“The change in Olmert began to surface shortly before he left his position of mayor of Jerusalem in late 2002, when he was running again for the Knesset.

Weekly Commentary: Former Shin Bet Chief Avi Dichter Squanders His Integrity for Shot at Being a Minister?

Excerpts;

“Yes. Shin Bet Chief Avi Dichter knew full well that one has to consider considerably more than a few months of ‘numbers’ in order to get an indication if the retreat policy is panning out.”

“But politician Avi Dichter apparently has more important things to concern himself with than the truth. Things like not offending the man who will decide Dichter’s placement in the Kadima list or what cabinet post Dichter will get if Kadima’s performance at the ballot box comes close to its performance in the recent polls.” read more
