Olmert: Jerusalem must be partitioned

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So even this idiot is capable of showing common sense?

A good thing he's a former PM.

I hate empty quoting. But this must be seconded.

Indeed.

Amen!!!

The reason I agree is look at Jerusalem now- Christians and Muslims can enter and worship. Look at Mecca- only Muslims are permitted toenter. East Jerusalem has sites holy to many faiths and I worry what the result of Palestinian control would be for worshipers

Considering how many Palestinian Christians there are, the statuses of Jerusalem and Mecca in Islam, and the fact that the Palestinian Authority is not the House of Saud, this is a fairly ridiculous point. Are Jews and Christians banned from Istanbul or Cairo?

Hamas hasn't restricted women's suffrage (Women were not allowed to vote at all in Saudi Arabia's meaningless municipal elections until like two years ago), grants driver's licenses to women (not done in Saudi Arabia with the reasoning being it'd make it easier for them to be adulterous) and hasn't banned all non-Islamic religions.
