Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says the idea of "Greater Israel"-- the main motto of the Zionist founders of the Israeli regime-- is dead.

"'Greater Israel' is finished. There is no such thing as that anymore. Whoever talks in those terms is only deluding himself," the prime minister admitted at a cabinet meeting.

"It doesn't help Israel. The international community has changed its perspective ahead of the possibility of Israel becoming a bi-national state," he said.

" I believed that the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean was all ours since in every place there that is excavated, there is evidence of Jewish History. But finally, after a lot of suffering and misgivings, I came to the conclusion that we need to share the land with whom we are residing if we don't want to become a bi-national state," Olmert said.

The premier also warned that the clock is "not ticking in Israel's favor."

The remarks came as the Israeli regime faces one of its worst political crises in its history. While Olmert is likely to be indicted over his corruption cases, the ruling Kadima Party is grappling with a power struggle.

The 33-day war against Lebanon during which Hezbollah managed to prevent the regime from achieving its goals, also dealt a serious blow to Israel.

What was that for? Sounds

What was that for? Sounds like he wants to stop someone from pushing the war button by revealing its hidden motives ahead of the action.

re olmert

i dont believe for a moment that olmert suddenly became a good guy. i still think he is a rabid zionist. his murderous rampage in Lebanon proves that. but perhaps he thinks a poorly prepared for war with iran would be more disastrous in the short term and wont help them achieve their greater israel or whatever these zionists ultimately want.

i think he may have said this to stop netanyahu's careless gang of zionists from starting a war now, maybe because the political, economic or military situation is against them. but that does not mean he is against such a war when the stars are better aligned.

if one of them careless zionists starts a shooting war with iran now, people would see what olmert just said and think that this war is for a greater israel rather than them nukes cover story.

all just my idle speculation though.

your opinion though that he is helping fake the death of the greater israel concept is equally valid, although there seemed to have been too little attention in the media about this greater israel concept that any reference to it creates more attention and interest. in other words, there was no need to fake its death since nobody seems to be paying attention or making a fuss about it.
