Ehud Olmert was probably the least shitty Israel PM since Rabin. Which isn't saying much to be fair considering... everything, but Olmert was the last time the Israeli government had the concept of a plan of peace with Palestinians.

And even Rabin was famous for his "break their bones" policy where the IDF would literally break the bones of people who resisted the occupation, including breaking the hands and arms of children to threw rocks at the tanks rolling through their communities.
