He should be tried for treason

Disgraced former Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert has criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu for not rolling over and playing dead quickly enough to please Massa Obama.
According to Israel Radio, Olmert told college students in New Hampshire that the Israeli government's "rhetoric of war and confrontation" was unwise, and that it erred in ignoring "the Iranian president's talk of peace with Western countries."
...
"If Iran is serious, why not end this whole affair with an agreement instead of by force?" Olmert said. "Perhaps we will reach the conclusion that nothing else worked, but we owe it to ourselves to check."
The former premier then addressed the ongoing diplomatic row between Washington and Jerusalem, seeming to mock the Netanyahu government's response to American intentions to strike an interim agreement with Tehran.
"I heard that [US Secretary of State John] Kerry dared to disagree with the Israeli prime minister," Olmert said. "Poor guy. I hope he'll come out of this alright."
According to Israel Radio, Olmert told the audience that "there was no need to constantly look for ways to clash with the US president, to provoke him, and to insult him."
"That's a piece of advice that I give to anyone who wishes to be prime minister of a country that is not the United States," he said.
But for the treacherous, traitorous Olmert it's perfectly fine to look for ways to clash with Israel's elected Prime Minister, to provoke him and to insult him.

One of Netanyahu's Likud rivals - Sylvan Shalom - slammed Olmert.
Shalom told Israel Radio that Olmert should honor the tradition that politicians do not criticize their leaders when abroad. Olmert has broken that tradition at the last two annual conferences of The Jerusalem Post in New York.
I'm not sure that such a tradition exists in Israel, but let's move on. 
"He did something that is not done," Shalom said. "There is a comfortable consensus on Iran in Israel."
If you're done picking the lint from between your toenails and don't want to go to sleep yet, you can find Olmert's entire hour and 28 minute harangue here
