Victory of the Kadima party
From Agape Press

...With the lowest voter turnout in Israel's history, Ehud Olmert's Kadima party claimed victory in yesterday's election.
In claiming victory, Olmert said if necessary, he will act on his own to withdraw Israelis from much of the West Bank and set the nation's borders by 2010, effectively allowing the Palestinians to have a state.
The founder and director of Minnesota-based Olive Tree Ministries says she believes so many people in Israel were tired {TIRED???? Then give over the reins to the young BEFORE losing everything.....THEY will continue the fight for the right of the nation's existence. Don't sell them and their futures away because you are TIRED!!!!! That's just cowardice.} of the endless terrorist attacks in Israel that they were willing to elect an appeasement government.
Jan Markell, whose group is dedicated to a safe and secure Israel, says she is not surprised that the centrist Kadima party was the top vote-getter, with the liberal Labor party finishing second. "These are the very parties that have sworn to tear down fortifications, homes, communities, and a lot more that have stood for decades since the Six-Day War [in June 1967], in a sense protecting Israel," Markell says.
"But the leadership of these parties will be giving away -- if they hold to what they have been saying -- massive amounts of land." She fears that the election results have sent a message that the Israeli people are willing to give up even more of their covenant land to appease the Palestinians.
"The Israelis seem to be deluded that we can still give peace a chance. Now this is after they've observed the abysmal results of the Gaza disengagement, and it will be repeated -- except this time with tens of thousands more Israelis -- and [after] the fact that Gaza has turned into a Taliban-style state," she observes.
"None of this seems to matter because [in their minds] there is still the hope that we just might be able to have peace if we just do this and give up this."
Markell believes no matter how much land the Israelis are willing to give up, the Palestinians will never be satisfied until the Jewish nation is completely removed from the map.
The once strong Likud party, headed by Binyamin Netanyahu, finished with a poor showing in the elections.
