Tikun Olam-תקון עולם: Make the World a Better Place

Ehud Olmert is packing his bags for the flight to Washington where he’ll meet with President Bush and Condi Rice. Their two major topics of conversation will be Israeli policy toward the Palestinians, specifically the expected Palestinian national unity government; and Iran’s nuclear programs. Ephraim Sneh, current deputy defense minister, senior Labor MK and former IDF senior commander, “did an Olmert” by acting as Olmert’s stalking horse in a Friday interview in the Jerusalem Post. You’ll recall that whenever Ariel Sharon wanted to say or do something especially bellicose, like threaten to assassinate Yaser Arafat, he had Olmert do the dirty work for him so Sharon’s hands wouldn’t be seen to be unclean.
