#1 The definition of insanity.

Doing the same thing, over and over and expecting different results.

#3 Methinks Israel is letting the PA and extremist Muslim terror orgs hang themselves, as the Pals. can no longer run and hide behind the skirts of the UNO. The PA's only other alternative is to WILFULLY devolve into a future peon province of the future nuclearized Iranian ME-Global empire - iff the Pals, truly want to be democratic and sovereign and independent of any other Muslim nation or society, they gotta work wid Israel and America.

#4 Government changed.

Olmert has a coalition of Leftist, Ultra Religious and Israeli Arabs..

It could be a game over surrender.

#5 FROM DEBKA:

Tzipi Livni keeps foreign ministry and is acting prime minister.

Elder statesman Shimon Peres is minister for Negev and Galilee development and regional economic ties.

Avraham Hirschson is finance minister,

and former Shin Beit director Avi Dichter, internal security minister.

After Defense passed to Labor, cough cough cough worse then donks..

Shaul Mofaz becomes transport minister and Dep. PM, and takes charge of strategic dialogue with foreign governments.

Meir Sheetreet building and housing plus the Israel Lands Authority;

Haim Ramon Justice;

Ronnie Bar-On Interior:

Zeev Boim Immigration and Absorption;

Gideon Ezra Environment, and Yaakov Edry liaison between government and Knesset.

Olmert has also put Dalia Itziks name forward for Knesset Speaker.

Ultra-religious Shas is absolved from support government policy on the removal of Jewish locations on the West Bank under its accord with Kadima.

Under the Labor-Kadima accord,
Amir Peretz takes defense,
Yuli Tamir education,
Benjamin Ben-Eliezer national infrastructure, Shalom Simchon agriculture,
Ophir Pines Culture, Sports and Jerusalem Affairs,
Yitzhak Herzog tourism
and Eitan Cabel minister without portfolio in charge of the Broadcasting Authority.

Shas winds up with four portfolios: party leader Eli Yishai - industry, trade and labor, communications and two ministers without portfolio,
Ariel Atias Meshulam Hanahri, one of whom will take office in the prime ministers office as director of religious services.

The Pensioners list have health and senior citizens affairs.

The four parties of the Olmert coalition command a total of 67 seats in the 120-member Knesset.

Negotiations continue with the second ultra-religious party, Torah Judaism, and left-wing Meretz.
