Looks like the rotten, old Olmert, who famously disrespected Condoleezza Rice

"She was left shamed. A resolution that she prepared and arranged, and in the end she did not vote in favour," Mr Olmert said in a speech in the southern town of Ashkelon.

may be finally getting his due.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sentenced in bribery scandal - CNN.com

Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was sentenced Tuesday to six years in prison for taking bribes while mayor of Jerusalem.

Olmert was also fined 1 million shekels (about $289,000), Israeli state radio IB reported.

Olmert was convicted in March of receiving about $161,000 in bribes related to a controversial Jerusalem housing project called Holyland. The judge acquitted Olmert on a third count of bribery.

The developer of Holyland, Hillel Cherney, had been previously convicted of bribing Olmert and other high-level officials in exchange for Holyland approvals.

Good job, Israel. This demonstrates accountability and transparency, even when it makes the state look bad. Meanwhile, Palestinians wage terrorist war against Israel basically on bribes entirely.

In that regard, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled

"The general point of departure of all parties – which is also our point of departure – is that Israel holds the area in belligerent occupation (occupatio bellica)"

So what? That only further proves Israel's commitment to be as careful as possible in this war against a terrorist state.
