Olmert’s Ulster
American Prospect Online - Olmert’s Ulster: "Now that Israeli leader Ehud Olmert has nailed together a ruling coalition and can start work on his signature policy plan, a pullout from much of the West Bank, he has this much in his favor: What’s left of country’s hard right can’t claim he has no mandate for withdrawal. Consider that cause for one and a half cheers. For as currently designed, Olmert’s plan seems designed to leave Israel with its own version of an endless Ulster problem."
