1. Have seen no evidence of IDF attack
Steve ,   USA   (06.12.06)
B"H The movies shown on Arab television show an emotional child; her cries are clear. However, there is a lot of additional information which does not appear to be from the immediate scene. For instance, I see no damage from a shell on the sand. There is a folding table knocked on the ground, but that can be done in a number of ways, including just hitting it with a hand. I think that it is reckless of the international media to buy into this as the fault of the IDF without presenting more concrete evidence. On the other hand, I recommended last week that cameras be setup to keep track of flying things and that simply was ignored. The IDF needs to prove itself innocent beyond a reasonable doubt to file slander suits against the world press that slanders. I do not see level of evidence either coming from the IDF. If the IDF had an active ground presence, it would be in a better position to collect such evidence. Until that occurs, the press rants and raves to make money. It seems that the event is going to be used to stir a lot of murderous passions regardless of what evidence if any substantiates what occured. It could be anything from propoganda to a work accident to something else the way it is presented as far as I can tell. The way it is presented, it seems to undermine the claims made in my eyes because of the "dressing up" of the situation with staged sirens of constant tone. I do not consider it proof by any means, but propoganda because of that staging for western consumption.
2. Mr Olmert's visit to my country
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (06.12.06)
My daughter is in London protesting Olmert's visit! No more apartheid-ites on this pleasant green island.
3. Good. Let their media be occupied with football.
Tahl ,   Israel   (06.12.06)
It sure beats the constant anti-Israel propeganda they regularly show there. The better England does on the world cup, the more the likes of Ellen would be ignored.
4. Jew Hating Ellen in anti semetic u.k.
PatriotUSA ,   Redmond, Oregon   (06.12.06)
You claim there is no anti semetism in your country. You claim there is no racism in the uk; well you are totally wrong! Every time you look in a mirror there is one of the biggest racist I have ever met in print. You keep patting yourself on the back. You are nothing but a jihad loving racist that celebrates over every dead Jew and hands out candy in the streets in your home town whenever a qassam lands inside Israel. The USA is far from perfect but I would rather live here than anyplace else. Keep your diversity and multi-culturalism inside your own shores please. Don't forget your burka when you go out.
5. waste of time
Art ,   Syney, Australia   (06.12.06)
Olmert should be in Israel dealing with the qassam crisis, rather than wasting his time in futile talks with leaders who are only interested in seeing what further concessions and withdrawals they can extract from israel
6. #2 ellen's daughter
Annie   (06.12.06)
+ aliza's daugher. What a shidduch. Perfect. I'd drive donna to the airport, but I s'ppose she went with Dad.
7. Ellen ,go with your daughter so we can have break from Crap
Alan ,   SA   (06.12.06)
8. Welcome
Adam ,   Oxford   (06.12.06)
Welcome to the UK Mr Olmert. Don't listen to the racist anti-semites like Ellen and her dimwitted daughter. They only represent a fringe loony left element that is not representative of the country. They are sad and pathetic figures, motivated solely by hatred and their own insecurities. Just witness how they only protest against western liberal democracies but never utter a word against all the world's murderous dictatorships. Welcome again!
9. Thank you, Adam
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (06.12.06)
Thank you for your kind words of welcome to our Prime Minister even though most of don't even want him to be Prime Minister anymore. The 'jury is still out' on what happened on the beach at Gaza. If it was - unintentionally - our fault, we will provide compensation, I'm sure. But if it wasn't the IDF, that will be revealed in due time with proof. The Ellens of the world are small-minded people with no influence whatsoever.
10. "a scathing attack against Israel"
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (06.12.06)
Olmert should turn the tables and launch a scathing attack on the British Government for its obnoxious hypocrisy and its continuing support of Palestinian terrorism. He should make it clear that the Gaza beach incident was deliberately staged by Hamas in order to provide a pretext for the appalling series of rocket attacks on Israel. He should tell the British Government to stop interfering in Israeli affairs and ask how they would like it if Israel kept criticising Britain's totally unjustified occupation of Iraq.
11. Politics??
Sky   (06.12.06)
Don't make me laugh. Most of the interview was about Wayne Rooney actually. Unbelievable but true, no,not unbelievable actually.
12. #1
Mikulas ,   Bratislava, Slovakia   (06.12.06)
Using that same logic, some stupid Frenchman and an idiotic German came to the conclusion that the Pentagon was not hit by a plane on 911. It is a tragedy. We cannot blame Israel for defending itself..but in a war, ugly things happen like this. Do not be like those who doubted 911. They are monsters.
13. Ynet
keren ,   sao paulo   (06.12.06)
Ellen won! You are her puppet! You are, subserviently ,serving her! She is more intelligent than you-I have mistaken myself :She doesn´t want a reflection on Israeli´s problems because she wants Israel to LOSE! Congratulations Ellen! You´ve got your goal! Everybody is obeying you!
14. keren
Annie   (06.12.06)
Maybe being # 13 has turned you a bit whacko. You're the looney one here darling. She's a nothing, she's not one of us, a goornicht, a has been, so what ARE you going on about? Goyim and their daughters, and a few jews and their daughters hate us, oh dear, oh dear oh dear! Ynet love printing her boring ol' stuff, makes them feel worldly and 'open' minded, so wot ! The people that answer her are as whacko as you are. You'e a silly lot really 'cos if there'd be no response to her twilight zone meanderings, she would freeze in 'ELL.
15. #2 Ellen must be the YNET village idiot
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.13.06)
What a surprise Ellen's brainwashed since birth daughter is protesting Olmert's visit. Another lost soul. I suspect within a short time she was booted away carrying her pathetic "Stop the Occupation" sign. Ellen probably mobilizes her entire family, including the pets, for anti-Israel rallies. It's her version of family fun on her "pleasant green island". What a loser.
16. Olmerts Visit
Roy ,   Sydney Australia   (06.14.06)
This is a typical response one can expect of the type of brainwashed sanctimonious racists (sorry but I cannot think of any other description) that are the result of the unchallenged media disinformation that exists today. Ellen, I don't know who you are, but by the tone of your post it appears you are one such victim. Please, I suggest both you & your daughter have a good look at the other side of the equation, & stop accepting all the propaganda you hear from your teachers & uni lecturers as the gospel truth! You are all so washed up in showing yourselves not to be the 'r' word that that is exactly what you have become!
