Ehud Olmert has been looking for the perfect term to describe Hitnatkut, Disengagement, Consolidation, Retreat under fire, Hitkansut (Realignment).

My friend Rachavam came up with a great term Hitchamshut.

It translates as ‘Rearmament’.

And after all, what could better describe the plans put into action by Barak, Sharon, and Olmert (if he gets his way), that the rearming of our enemies with even better (and more) weapons than ever before.

Hitchamshut it is.
