Polarization is ripping the Land Israel up. Desperation led an electoral to choose the Kadima Party created by Ariel Sharon. The old warrior had a stroke and so leadership fell to his deputy Ehud Olmert. Olmert has officially become the Prime Minister in Israel after Sharon's incapacitation.
The people of Israel have become so weary of terrorism: a fact of life in Israeli culture since before its inception back to nationhood in 1948. A confused electorate wholly divided by a multitude of Political Parties and pet peeve agendas swung to Kadima. It was not a huge majority by any means; however Kadima came away with the biggest percentage of votes. In a parliamentary system of democracy, that is all that matters.
Olmert is not the leader that Sharon was. Indeed, many questioned the huge change of mind of Sharon. It is not difficult to imagine the disillusion the religious minded are experiencing with Olmert. Under Olmert Israel is giving up land for the delusion of peace. It is under Olmert that a plan is being developed to re-divide Holy Jerusalem.
