Olmert: Oslo process that led to hundreds of Jewish dead 'was right'

Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert insisted Monday that the 1993 Oslo Agreement Yitzhak Rabin signed with Yasser Arafat, and which led directly to the weakening of Israel's security and the massive escalation of terrorism against Israel's Jews, was the right way to go.

This is according to the three English-language news websites run by the main Israeli media, The Jerusalem Post, Ha'aretz and Ynetnews.

Addressing a special Knesset session marking the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Rabin, Olmert insisted that the Oslo Accords "defined a direction – and that direction is inevitable."

Olmert, who is babysitting the prime minister's office until the Israelis vote for a replacement on February 10 next year, followed this with the astonishing assertion that Israelis, who lost over 1500 loved ones to Oslo-enabled terrorists have "learned to live with the guilt and pain we paid for Oslo, the ongoing terror and the disappointment with the stagnated diplomatic process."

Israel is now once again, he continued, "at the heart of the dispute."

"Now however, the time to make decisions grows closer, and we are at a precipice."

The solution to that, Olmert said, is the surrender of more of Israel's historic homeland.
