According to the prime minister, in order to ensure a Jewish majority, Israel would have to make &#8220;tough decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Olmert did not address Haim Ramon&#8217;s proposal to withdraw from approximately 70 percent of the West Bank and evacuate a small number of settlements.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to Hamas&#8217;s takeover of the Gaza Strip last month, Olmert said that, despite recent predictions by senior defense officials, a situation similar to that in Lebanon would not develop in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Olmert said that while he didn&#8217;t intend to turn a blind eye to the volatile reality in Gaza, Israel needed to respond to the nascent reality with &#8220;brains, not hysteria.&#8221; Olmert said he did not believe that a large-scale IDF invasion would be an appropriate response.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>Related report: <\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.israelnationalnews.com\/News\/News.aspx\/123147\"><strong>Olmert Reiterates Stance to Give Away Judea and Samaria, by Alex Traiman<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; PM: Israel Can&#8217;t Hold West Bank Forever (Jerusalem Post) Commentary; Olmert continues to promulgate the oft-proven false, bogus PA demographic stats to cover his disdain for Yehuda and Jewish history and our Divine Legacy &#8212; the Land of Israel.
