Being Ehud Olmert

Israeli Prime Minister is acting like a blind man who ignores reality. That’s how he (me in a costume) looks like:

Ehud Olmert

Peace Now organized a special protest for Purim – a special government meeting around a table with ice, featuring blind PM Ehud Olmert, FM Tzipi Livni as the “Queen of ice”, Amir Peretz as “Minister of War”, Avigdor Lieberman as “Minister of Racism” and Raleb Majadla (the first Arab minister) as the “Fig Leaf”. The event took place in Jerusalem, near the PMs residents.

This special event for Purim was in protest of the government’s failure to do anything for peace. Assad’s declarations were trashed, and FM Tzipi Livni declined the Arab initiative on Thursday morning (Good timing for the protest!)

Peace Now pleaded me to participate as PM Olmert, claiming that there is a significant resemblance between us. We both lack some hair upfront and have a bright complexion, but that sums up our similarities. I wore a suit (courtesy of Sir Bob) and held a walking cane. Anyway, in the last moment they brought the mask that you see, so anyone could be Olmert…

The event was covered by a few representatives from the media. I was interviewed by Ynet, which quoted only a very short portion of what I had to say. Here’s the link in Hebrew.
