The following advertisement by Israeli peace group Gush Shalom appears in Haaretz on March 21:
[German Chancellor] Kanzlerin Merkel
Made a pilgrimage to Israel
And groveled before
Olmert and Barak.
Before and after her,
Other world leaders
Did the same
They did not do
Any good to Israel.
They hurt it.
Real friends of Israel
Would not encourage
Olmert and Barak
To continue on a road
That leads to disaster.
