Olmert's Legacy
As former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert heads off to jail for corruption, one tries to consider which event will best define Olmert's legacy.
His role in destroying Gush Katif? His abject failure in the Lebanon war? The Holyland Towers? Simply being the first Israeli Prime Minister sent to jail?
I think Olmert will best be remembered for his attempt to follow up on his success in destroying Gush Katif, by trying to violently destroy the Jewish town of Amona in 2006.
