#1 Horse hockey. American Jews typically support folks like Olmert even if it's suicidal. It would help a lot if Olmert had not been corrupt.

Yes, but Sheldon Adelson, the Jewish, multi-billionaire entrepreneur, supports Republican politicians at home and Bibi Netanyahu, Likud, and conservative politics in Israel. It is Mr. Adelson to whom Mr. Olmert objects, not rich American Jews in general.

#4 TW, is Olmert's complaint that Sheldon Adelson provided the elbow grease to uncover his malfeasance? Or is he asserting that Sheldon Adelson used his money to manufacture crimes of which Olmert is innocent? The latter seems unsupported by the evidence while the former smells of sour grapes.

My usual disregard for anything published by RT applies.

Dear Shart the Low-priced4103, those are good questions. I have absolutely no idea, as I don’t pay attention to most Israeli politics, which is a full contact sport with frequently rearranging parties. lord garth and some others here no doubt know the answer, so hopefully they will see this tonight before the midnight rollover, or perhaps they'll post the answer in the O Club later.
