who is respect both of them.?

Maybe we should make Mr. Abbas prime minister of Israel. At least with Mahmoud Abbas -- financier of the Munich massacre in Germany, Yasser Arafat's right hand man for better than thirty years, Holocaust denier, etc. --- we know he actively calls for jihad and for the murder of innocent Jews. We know Abbas wants to destroy the Jews. He says so; openly. With Mr. Olmert however, because he is a fellow Jew, we think he is our friend. We think he loves the Jewish people and the land of Israel.

These meeting are what we have instead of real peace. It's all they are able to do and we are supposed to see this as positive while the Islamic terrorists prepare for the destruction of Israel with appeaser Olmert's help.

Hamas has a hostage and there is no ceasefire...

Please....I give up.... I am tired....Just leave me TA.....You can have the rest....I am not a Jew....I have no ties to The Land...I never cover my head....I am ashamed to call myself a Jew....Just leave me TA.

trade hostages. Olmert is a sucker because Abbas doen't have Shalit. If he does have Shalit, how did he get him? Was it Abbas who killed the other 2 soldiers and abducted Shalit? Has he been keeping Shalit since then? What's going on?

Any meeting taking place on the Sabath is absolutly usless, nothing will come of it.Both these men are impotent. Olmert, if not stopped, will destroy Israel. Wake up and get rid of him.

suffer collectively because of the thousands of their people serving long sentences in Israeli jails more than the Israelis suffer because of the 3 soldiers abducted and held by Hamas and Hizbolla. If this is true then it would be crazy to make an exchange unless it's strictly on Israeli terms.

any face to face meeting is a step in the RIGHT direction. we do make peace with our friends.

face to face talks are always good. let's keep them going. it's the only way we will get to some kind of peace agreement - IF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT WANTS ONE,

it is very simple for that thing called "abu mazen" to meet olmert and hugg him forgetting the blood of that young girl killed by idf ...but it is impossible for him to meet his prime minister Haneyeh.....That thing "abu mazen " prevented Haneyeh from bringing money to the palestinian people and tried later to kill him with the chicken thief Dahlan... What ever abu mazen does, israel will not be satisfied and now he is selling the palestinain rights for the salaries.......the cheapest occupation ever!!!of course he does not need the money for the sake of poor palestinians, but as a way to steal more and more along with his gang...dahlan, abu rudaynah, oreeqat,.....

"NICE" progress: Giving them the terror money and let them also build the terror infrastructure in the West Bank. Good that "progress" is been made in the discussion. the question is just, for which side???

Olmert tells Abbas: sic: "If you continue to fire at us I may be forced to respond." That is progress for Olmert IF he really believes it. Concerning the Jewish targets it's progress for Abbas.

If you are so ahamed to be called a Jew, convert to what pleases you most, but give up TA which belongs to true Jews, give up Israel you and only you, the blessed land given by the Lord. Exodus 32:13 "Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: 'I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.' " Acting so you will be alone compared to numerous stars mentioned above. Choose your camp and then have your way either in the land of your fathers or ... in the states. Merry ::: Christmas !

The P.M. of the "Jewish State" meeting with a terrorist's financer on Shabbat???? Who thinks that anythnig positive will come out of this "meeting"???? G-d willing only early elections!

Palestinians were misstaken in their thoughts !! They have always beleived the the Israeli gov's is the true obstacle in the road of peace !!! But have read all those comments, it seems that the Israeli people are now the true obstacle in the road of peace and not the Gov's !!! Ok - To every Isarelis - I'm telling you ; You have no choice but to enter into a real peace with the Palestinians !! AND if you dont, you will loose, may be not now, but 100% Israel will vanish !!

talking is always better than non at all.we must give it a try. the direction taken up until now is leading us to a total disaster. maybe ohlmert has finally woken up or his wife is beginning to have an influence on him

"As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders." 16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all their power. They will lay their hands on their mouths and their ears will become deaf. 17 They will lick dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the ground. They will come trembling out of their dens; they will turn in fear to the LORD our God and will be afraid of you. 18 Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. 19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. 20 You will be true to Jacob, and show mercy to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our fathers in days long ago." (Micah 7, 15-20) If the Lord exists, who dares defy Him and interfere with His plans ? Tell me, who ?

be aware Israel with a jewish population of 5,400,000 has a reserve of 6,400,000 in America

Please... no one want war, everyone just want peace, that's why most people chose Olmert - that wanted to withdraw from the West-Bank. BUT - after withdrawing from the Gaza strip, for peace with you - you started firing rockets at us. Do you know people in the south can't sent their kids to kindergardens because of that?!! You also chose a government which calls for the destruction of Israel! How can we talk peace when you talk destruction??? We see what happens in Gaza now, you can't even have peace with yourself, how can you ask for peace with Israel, the country you with to destroy????? soory pal, that's the truth, whether you like it or not!!! The Israeli people were willing to give you all back (some still are), but I guess you can't handle that now, do you?

If you say that America has 6.4 million Jews that means that you are counting "half Jews". America really has only 4 million Jews and Israel has 5.4 million Jews ( and .300,000 "half Jews")... Israel has the largest Jewish population!

in Haaretz "new studies put u.s jewry past 6 millon mark" no mention of half jews
