When All Jews Are Floating Dead In The Sea

That might be when, finally, Ehud Olmert learns that terrorism cannot be appeased.
Israel Offers Golan Heights To Syria.

In a secret communique, Ehud Olmert demanded that in exchange for the return of the strategic highlands, Syria dissolve its alliances with Iran, Hezbollah and Palestinian militant factions who maintain headquarters in Damascus.

Say what?!? Are you stoned . . . or just stoopid???
Syria, under the regime of Bashar al Assad, is a key supporter of the Lebanese Shia Hizbollah militia, who battled Israel to a standstill last summer. Many of the anti-tank rockets that wreaked havoc on Israeli ground forces originated in Syria, a crucial conduit for the Iranian Katyushas and other rockets that rained down on Israeli cities throughout the 34-day war.
As our friend Carl in Jerusalem at Israel Matzav so aptly puts it
Israelis are overwhelmingly opposed to withdrawing from the Golan and do not trust Assad. An overwhelming 84% of the Israeli public opposes handing over the entire Golan Heights to Syria, according to a Maariv/Teleseker poll. However, these 84% are divided into two groups: one, with 44%, opposes any Israeli withdrawal. The remaining 40% support a partial withdrawal.

74% of those surveyed said they do not believe Syrian President Bashar Assad when he says he wants peace. A 'partial withdrawal' is irrelevant unless Olmert is stupid enough to do it unilaterally. It is not something to which Assad will ever agree.

On the other hand, Assad's poll numbers in Israel are better than Olmert's....
It remains to be seen if Dhimmi Carter will offer Olmert the pen to sign the suicide note.
