his father MORDECAI OLMERT was head of the settlement department for the HERUT and founded frontier outposts on the hills of the narrow Jerusalem corridor. One thing I remember from his memories of China was that of the divisions between north & south. Ehud Olmert should give his fathers autobiography to be translated. Mordecai, the father, was a pioneer and fighter for a Jewish State

I wonder what private business deal Olmert arranged while in China. You know, some crooked wink-wink business where he gets a big kickback. It'll be a while before we find out how much he'll make and how many of his cronies are involved.

I found Mr. Akiva ben Hillel Ha-Levi's accusations about the purpose of Mr. Olmert's trip to China to be mean spirited and basically a cheap-shot.

It's obvious that he is in political disagreement with his Prime Minister's positions and/or policy but it is another to defame him. If he has proof to justify his accusations he should raise them. In the meanwhile, Mr. ben Hillel Ha-Levis's remarks reflect poorly on himself and not on the PM.

I should add that, as an American, I know few details about Mr. Olmert personally nor of his party, and I can't say that I agree with all his government's positions but this is not about Mr. Olmert. It is about conducting intellectually honest and open discourse free from personal attacks.
