Former prisoner Ehud Olmert told UK’s Channel 4 News on Monday evening that the Israeli left is starting a civil war following the passing of the reasonableness bill in the Knesset earlier in the day.
“This is a serious threat,” he lied. “It’s never happened before. We are going into a civil war now.” The interviewer interjected, questioning in an astonished voice: “Civil war!?”
Olmert then decided to tone down his incitement a bit, continuing by saying: “Civil disobedience with all of the possible ramifications to the stability of the state and the ability of the government to perform, and to the obedience of the large part of the Israeli population to a government that is perceived by a large part of the population to be illegitimate.”
“The government has decided to threaten the foundations of Israeli democracy, and this is not something that we can accept or tolerate.”
Of course, Olmert did not even attempt to provide proof of his claims as they are completely false.
Last week, Olmert called on the Biden administration to reevaluate its relationship with Israel.

How dare you call him a lowlife
He’s a former prime minister of the state of Israel
And he happened to have stumbled upon a brown envelope with a lot of cash in it which he intended to return soon as he returned from his British accent acting classes . Pls dan lkaf zechus that he was about to perform the mitzvah of hashovas aveidah
Why hasn’t this guy been arrested yet?
If a former Israeli prime minister is a “lowlife”, as YWN calls Olmert, does that tell us something about the Israeli voters, or the Israeli political system? This is not a rhetorical question.

Illegitimate? I don’t think anyone things it’s illegitimate. They just don’t like it and they’re marketing it really well as a fascist because the liberal fascists are finally losing control.
Giving back Gaza wasn’t a threat to Israel??
The law that was passed was a good start, not nearly enough. But the timing of this, just a few days before Tisha B’Av, scares me. I mean, what happens when (not if) the supreme court strikes down this law and the government refuses (as they should) to recognize the Supreme Court’s refusal? I mean, that could go down ON tisha b’av, and that’s not a good thing.
Hay
Israel is not democratic state once people vote it goes into tyrannical and powerful cubical self rule.
There is no role of people in government once they are in cubicle.
There is no constitution.
AG Attorney General is the unelected tyrant.
Supreme Court is self elected from within with massive self interest in particular ideology and anti Jewish movement.
Until now the Left was in power, they had no problem with AG and “Godly” court that has no trace of Gd or spiritually, to impose Without limits their agenda. Now that they see they have 1.25 kids and 2 dogs vs. Arab and Jewish community of 6/7 and can’t hold control, they are making noise and ask Biden, State Department, EU, Reform and financial institutions to destroy the nation.
Just like terrorists with massive cash they play zero sum game.
All control of state or Civil War.
This is how much they love the Uganda of their dreams.
Just in time for Tisha b’Av, nice.
Olmert like Barak need to deport themselves to Syria or I-Ran. They are the worst self-haters of Israel. Both were terrible at being PMs. Both hate the very country they live in. What bad actors they are at being Jews for Israel.
He and Ariel Sharon had the military drag Jews out of their homes when they gave Gaza to the Palestinians so that they can have a place to shoot at us from. He had the military do it then, perhaps, we can use the military to drag these people to some bedouin camp so that they can live comfortably alongside their best buddies.
It’s because the only see themselves secure in a secular state where people see it as life’s security same thing is the usa this man can go to bed with a teenager and no will say poo cause he has a secular secure state why they didn’t draft them in the army before this is a miracle but now it is going to become a religious army cause that is who is going to fight now the secular will try to go another place for wealth
Jail Fine disgusting PIG. NOT KOSHER
