In Israel, veterans of Israel’s invasion of Lebanon and parents of slain troops disrupted a speech by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Wednesday. One protester began screaming “Go home Olmert.” A new poll by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz found that public support of Prime Minister Olmert is plummeting. His approval rating now stands at 22 percent. The approval rating of his Defense Minister Amir Peretz is at just 14 percent.
