Nice fast talking from Olmert. I believe it from any politician when foundations start getting laid and things move ahead full steam. Until then, it's all just wind and sails.

The arrogant Doctor of Dismemberment decides to cut off the arm of Israel above the elbow and work on the remaining stump if he gets permission from his master in Washington. It has gone bad for all Israeli PrimeMinisters who carve up the body Israel and reward it to terrorists. Dr. Olmert is dumber than dirt. It is evident that the Dr.has no spine and is incapable of standing up to outside pressure so with Maale Adumin and Gush Etzion it's all empty meaningless words . One phonecall form George is Olmert folds under his desk. Just what Israel needs ,another spineless wimp for a leader.

All settlements must go, and all 1967 borders returned is the only way for a lasting peace. Olmert knows it..so pls stop the hot air and stop lying to settlers..remember the slogan gosh qatif was tel aviv...what happened then....politicians are generally bad liers, Olmert included.

Jerusalem is the key to peace.

The Arabs belong in Mecca. Neither "Palestine" nor "Palestinians" exist!

What do you think is a fair tax for me if you got Jerusalem?

A powerful motivation to increase attacks against Israel. In addition to giving away Jewish land to implacable enemies, Israel fights Islam's religious war by firing on empty fields and making sonic booms. The IDF refuse to respond to war. It would anger the U.S. EU, UN and Russia. Instead, Israel's police and IDF make violent military/police assaults on defenseless, patriotic Jewish children. Sending the children to hospital with severe head wounds and broken bones (Amona - February 1, 2006). In response to massive terrorism and atrocities against Israel, the U.S. EU, UN and Russia, demand Jews give more of their land to the terrorists! ISRAEL'S LEADERS ARE NOT FIGHTING TO WIN THE WAR. Israel is conducting a brutal war against Jewish patriots. http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=98046

The arab hordes go to war against Israel and lose and they expect what ? When you lose ,you lose ,you lost ,you get nothing but defeat !!!. Israel ,defending itself defeated the intolerant warmongers and they know that 67 borders is a ruse of the liars and killers to get Israel into indefensable borders. Only suicidal and stupid Jews would fall for this scheme. The Moslems can never be trusted as their long,long track record proves. A strong Israel will survive ,a weak Israel which rewards terrorism is on it's deathbed.

Olmert is a liar. He has no intension of expanding Jerusalem. Fact be known Sharon & Omert has agreed to hand over the entire Jerusalem to the US & EU. The political radical left leanings of his immediate family may shed some light as to why Olmert is acting in this fashion. His wife, Aliza, is a Charter Member of 'Women In Black', an organization of Arabs and Jews who support Arab takeover of Israel. His son Shaul belongs to the extreme left group, 'Yesh G'vul'. He was arrested as a deserter from the Israeli Army. He now lives in New York. His son Ariel never even served in the Israeli Army. He lives in Paris. His daughter Donna is a self-professed Lesbian, who is a member of the Machsom Watch. this is a group of women who endanger the lives of Israeli soldiers by deliberately ninterfering in their work to prevent Arab terrorists from entering Israel at various checkpoints. His daughter Michal is just an ordinary committed "leftist". About Ehud Olmert, the man himself. In the words of the author Naomi Ragen: "He is a disaster, a sleazy politician with no vision, skating in the direction Mr. Sharon pulled him, without the sense to reevaluate and go back." A most interesting piece of information about Olmert's early career: Shmuel Tamir, now deceased, who was Olmert's past patron in the FREE CENTER PARTY, noted in his prolific memoirs that Ehud Olmert offered to throw out his own father, Knesset Member Mordechai Olmert, from that Party. This perhaps, more than all else, attests to the nature of the acting prime minister's morals.

I understand the importance of separating physically from the "palestinians", but what about the arabs who live in pre-67 Israel? Other than from a security standpoint, the arab citizens of Israel are much more of a threat to the continued Jewishness of Israel than those who cannot vote. I do agree that we need to physically separate, but we need to really separate from the two peoples, not just the ones who call themselves palestinian.

Your capital is Mecca, united and forever Jerusalem is the capital of the Jews and Israel. Arabs never had a capital in Jerusalem. For almost a thousand years it was the capital of the Jews. Therefore your demand is tantamont to destroying Israel. Moreover, the Muslim attacks on Christian Arabs as indicated by the fire bomb thrown at a bus in Beit lechem is an indication of the callous disregard Muslim Arabs who happen to live in the Levant have for other ethnic Arabs. The world should know that the Muslim Arabs in the Levant would rather not have any other religious group living in its territory and if it did, it would subject them to degradation, humiliation, and constant harrassment as many countries did to the million Jews forced from their homes by Muslim Arabs.

Jerusalem is, was & will always be the capital of "Am Yisroel". Jerusalem is not for sale, & can not, nor will be divided.

#4 has been fed so many lies by Arafat and Hamas over the years that he believes what he says about Jerusalem being the key to peace. Jerusalem is the holiest city in Judaism. Jews pray facing Jerusalem and mention the name of the city countless times a day in prayers. Muslims pray with their backs to Jerusalem. How would #4 feel if Israel said "Mecca is the key to peace. It should be divided as the capital of two states"?????

In 1922, Britain illegally gave Muslims most of Jewish Palestine-80%. The area became Jordan, giving Muslims AN ARAB PALESTINIAN STATE! It was ethnically cleansed of Jews. The MUSLIMS ALREADY HAVE A PALESTINIAN ARAB STATE! Muslims declare they want ALL of Israel; in fact, declare they want the entire world under global Islamic domination, ruled by sharia law. WE ARE IN THE THIRD WORLD WAR OF GLOBAL JIHAD! Shortly after the 1967 Six Day War, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff submitted their report requested by the U.S. government. Their report stated that ISRAEL can only be DEFENSIBLE IF IT RETAINS JUDEA, SAMARIA, GAZA and the GOLAN.

We Jews don't really belong here in Israel. This Land has been Muslim for thousands of years. We Jews should go back to where we come from ... Europe, America, etc. We have a moveable homeland called the Torah. We don't need a piece of land. We can be Jewish anywhere.

I have a news flash for Bibi.kadima is the cancerous growth. That unelected gov't. should have been removed. You will not have to wait four years to see ehud omlet destroy us,but four months. Remember we have to please haj bush and the anti-Israel state dept.

I love Jerusalem as much as you do. this is one thing you can not control. My attachement to jerusalem is as strong as yours. But at least I recognize the jews attachement to this holy city and my heart is not filled with hatred as you all are expressing. I want peace. But I will never never accept any peace deal without a solution to have jerusalem not divided but shared between the two people so it can be the key for peace. The jews suffered tremendously and the crime committed was horrible. and now all I see are jews filled with hatred and extremism. Is this the kind of state that your ancestors wanted?because looking from my window this is what I see: Occupation, humiliation, land confiscation, settlements, Olive trees destruction, house demolition, and killing as if you have the right to kill who ever you think is guilty without any trial or proper procedures. Face it you had built an ugly state and now you are building walls as a proof that you were not able to become part of this region. and you are the first guilty one. Peace my friends, stop hating, let us fight extremisim on both ends. I am a palestinian christians and it is a lie to say that the muslim palestinians do not treat me right. in conclusion, Ejerusalem is either a key for us to live togehter in this land or the key for a continuous violence and couterviolence forever. Stop hating, stop making us suffer. and stop generalizing as all the palestinains approve of terror or isalmic extremism. it is too easy.

"We will begin to...", "We will begin to plan to...", We will start to construct in"... Get it? He'll build a lotto kiosk in E1 and he'll be telling the truth. He'll begin to plan to build one and he'll be telling the truth. Read what he's saying!

wHY 67 BORDERS ? WHY NOT 1923 BORDERS????

Is this the kind of state my ancestors wanted??? Hum let me think, let me think. Samson wouldn't be too grumpy in my opinion (I'm personally thinking the whole eye gouging thing is still a sore point for him). Joshua wouldn't throw too many qualms either. Maybe Jesus would be grumpy, oops my bad, your ancestor........... Sorry I'm shit out of luck in trying to find any of my ancestors who would be annoyed with this state. I certainly could find loads of arab christian ancestors who are mad with the state, but go figure. You guys don't have a predominantly christian state so you go bash on the Jews. Big and brave of you guys to pick on the stunningly numerous Jews.................. Why don't you just admit that if you were to ever say anything bad about the muslims you'd land up hanging from a tree (Palestinian modernism at its best......). Then again thats exactly why you can't and won't because slaves seldomly go against their masters and your no different. So blah blah with the emotional junk. Go come up with your own capital instead of stealing ours. We had it first and thats that. We tried living together and that got us a big fat juicy nice total of 5 wars (maybe even more if you consider all the attrition wars). Wow you arabs just exude peace like big loving cuddly teddy bears (generally teddy bears strapped with explosives but hey who cares???? they only kill innocient people after all)

Mr "Ben Avraham", or what ever your real name is...don't say "WE don't belong here" - speak for yourself ...

There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. At the time of Muhammad's death, there was not a single mosque in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible, not once in the Koran. Muslims pray facing Mecca. It is Muslim practice to take over, desecrate and destroy the holy sites of other religions-Jews, Christians, Bhuddists, Hindus... The Muslims build mosques on top of the holy sites of other religions to signify that their religion is superior to all others. Muslims did this on the Temple Mount. During the time Jordan controlled Jerusalem from 1948-1967, no foreign Arab leaders visited Jerusalem. Jordanian radio broadcast Friday prayers not from Al-Aqsa Mosque, but from a mosque in Amman. Jordan destroyed 58 synagogues in Jerusalem. Jordan's army desecrated the 2,500 year old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives. Jordan used Jewish tombstones for pavement and latrines. Jordan must be made to make full financial restitution for the 58 synagogues Jordan destroyed; destruction of the cemetery on the Mount of Olives and all of the destruction Jordan wrought in holy Jewish east Jerusalem. All Jewish land, homes and buildings seized in the 1948 Islamic invasion of Judea, Samaria and Jewish east Jerusalem must be returned to Jews immediately. 13th Century Arab Muslim biographer Yakut, noted: "Mecca is holy to Muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews."

I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale

You do not decide what is holy for us. And your comments tpwards the muslim are pure racism. I would not even think one sec to talk like this against the jews.

Whenever I read unreflected, extreme, one-sided or sometimes just stupid comments, the residency of the authors is not Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, ect, it is NY, Florida,... Why? Because it is very easy sitting in your house in Florida, feeling very Jewish, cursing about bad Olmert, supporters of a 2-states-solutions including compromises and so on. Your children or probably never in the IDF, bomb attacks happens several thousand miles away. If you live in Israel then you can make such statements. But maybe this country is better off without you?! Easy, very easy. Like the war in Iraq which was supposed to last just a few weeks. And: I am no leftist- but I try to gather some information before I spread extreme opinions. But I guess it is just that everybody does the best he or she is able to.

The Palestinian Authority teach through their mosques, media, summer camps, and public education system, that murdering Jews is a religious obligation. Muslim human bomb murderers of innocent Jews are revered and considered heroes. Broadcast from Gaza mosque, Oct 13 2000, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..." G-D commanded: "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER"

Not so big and bad are you when you get back what you throw at us...........
