...And his heart was hardened.
Just when we think that maybe Olmert will get the message (with a whopping 2.3% approval rating) that we, the people, want him to RESIGN, he does a quick about-face, spits in our face (again), and high-fives his advisers after scaring the daylights of out his party's MKs.
Kadima is backing Olmert, and he's not resigning.
Tonight in Tel Aviv a demonstration is planned against Olmert.
Having gone to countless demonstrations, I know that governments rarely care about them anymore. The last Prime Minister who cared about a demonstration was Menachem Beigin, who cared about the "Leave Lebanon" demonstration during the Peace for Galilee war in the 1980s.
Since then, no one cares.
Rabin didn't care when we packed the streets with hundreds of thousands demonstrating against the dangers of Oslo.
Sharon didn't care when we linked Gush Katif to Jerusalem by a human chain, and hundreds of thousands demonstrated at the Kotel and in Tel Aviv.
So why should Olmert care about tonight's planned demonstration?

It's a tough call...and I haven't made up my mind.

I am not completely sure I understand why any of us are even considering going to this event. Don’t get me wrong - Olmert must go but not by himself. Kadima must follow. All this event will cause is the replacement of one arrogant corrupt and misguided leader with another probably much worse than him. If this was a demonstration "for" I would feel differently but I have already learned that in this country demonstrating "against" is a dangerous proposition.And the following:
Oh did I forget to mention who the "organizer" of this event is? Does the name Uzi Dayan ring a bell? When Rabin hesitated it was Dayan who gave him the "confidence" that militarily Oslo was a good idea. As assistant to the chief of staff he gave his blessing to Baraks ingenious idea of running away from Lebanon and in the process leaving a vacuum that was filled by the Chizballah. We lose no matter what. If the event is successful - This radical left wing personality is upgraded, if the event fails Kadima and Olmert get stronger.
Have we lost our minds? I can go on and on about this but you probably get the point by now.
As I said before Lose-Lose-Lose-Lose. So why are we going?
"The media does not want to see religious people or settlers at "their" demonstration.... They want to get rid of Olmert but keep his evil design to kick out us Jews from our homes.
I encourage everyone who can make it tonight to make our voice heard. May Mashem be with his people and may Hashem's people be with him."
It's a tough call...and I haven't made up my mind.
