Rehabilitation of Zionist war criminals

Basim sent me this:  "Don't you love how Western media always try to rehabilitate and romanticize Israeli leaders -- usually after they're out of office and indicated for some crime -- and turn them into these sympathetic, dovish figures who wanted to make risky "concessions" in the name of peace? Look at this nauseating AP report. Here Olmert is portrayed as a contrite, remorseful leader "at odds" with an intractable Netanyahu for not recognizing that the conquest of Jerusalem has failed. The journalist has the gall to write, "while prime minister from 2006 to 2009, he pursued a peace agreement envisioning broad territorial concessions to the Palestinians ... " yet brazenly and deliberately overlooks the ugly legacy this war criminal left behind from the 2008-2009 Gaza onslaught."
