But actually, I'm afraid they do have one idea - to grab as much Palestinian territory as they possibly can before someone stops them - and Olmert is pursuing it with vigor. Hm. I guess I'm in a cynical mood this morning. It would be great if Labor did better than expected. Thanks for the post, as always - and I'm awfully glad you put up a picture of Robert Rosenberg. Hes one of my favorites, along with you - I think he's sort of the Dean of progressive Israel-Palestine bloggers.
