Yossi's chutzpah

I'm no Olmert fan, but this takes the cake.
From Ynet:

The prime minister was also criticized by the left end of the political spectrum, with Meretz chairman Yossi Beilin saying that "the Winograd Commission's final report reinforces the impression that critical decisions for the future of Israel were made without using judgment and without understanding their potential outcomes.

"If the prime minister understands that he bears personal responsibility, the only conclusion is not that he is the only one who can amend his mistakes, but that he must resign," Beilin said.

Refresh my memory. In 1992, who went behind the elected government's back to establish contact with the then-outlawed PLO? Who consistently undermined the leader of his own party, pushing forward the "peace process" even when PM Rabin didn't agree? Who place the onus of failure to achieve peace on PM Netanyahu and not on Arafat who violated every agreement he signed?

Talk about not "using judgment", not "understanding ... potential outcomes" and bearing "personal responsibility." But these apply to you Dr. Beilin. Israel is less secure as a result of your machinations over the past 15 years. One would hope that you'd have learned some humility by now.
