They All Must Go: Purge Israel's LeadershipBetween the incompetence of Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni and Amir Peretz, the sexual harassment charges against Justice Minister Chaim Ramon, the impending investigation of Olmert for corruption, and the indictment of Kadima's Tzachi Hanegbi, it is quite clear that Israel's political leadership is a complete disgrace.
The news that President Moshe Katsav is under investigation for sexual assault further undermines confidence in the nation's "leaders."
Most outrageous are the reports from reservists who served in Lebanon that they not only lacked proper equipment and were poorly trained, but that they went days with almost no food or water. Some IDF soldiers had to break into Lebanese grocery stores to take something to eat and drink, while others ate their meals in the homes of Lebanese citizens.
It boggles the mind that soldiers were sent to war without food and water. There is no point in even commenting further about this, other to say that the IDF soldiers who fought under such indescribably awful conditions deserve recognition and honor.
As for the political and military leadership of Israel, it must be replaced immediately.
