1. Olmert Is a whore
malcolm   (12.24.06)
He'll do anything to impress anyone he needs for something.
2. Flags - nice touch. If you support two states then two flags
sheri ,   rockville maryland   (12.24.06)
says it. I hope Al-jazzera got a picture of that. If not, someone should send it to them. (Or were the Israelis not savy enough to get photos?)
3. OLMERT = EFES GADOL
Mordechai L ,   New Orleans -> JM IL   (12.24.06)
LOSER L-o-s-e-r
4. IN THE BIBLE
ISRAEL IS THE NEW ,   DISNEYLAND PARK   (12.24.06)
IN THB BIBLE JACON MET HIS BROTHER IN PEACE BUT PREPARED FOR WAR JUST IN CASE..... IN ISRAEL OLMERT MET ABBAS IN PEACE AND PREPARED TO MOVE TO THE SEA JUST IN CASE........ remember olmerts words ''i am tired of winning''
5. #1 & #3
tsedek ,   israel   (12.24.06)
get a grip on yourselves. if you wanna stay stuck in this hate-environment do it quitely, from far away as you both are now.
6. Bravo!!
Michael Steiner   (12.24.06)
At last something positive from the current administration. I just hope it was genuine and will be built on in the future. Let's hope we see a Palestinian state established soon, to live next to Israel in its proper (Green Line) borders.
7. My G-d, Israel, why are you not taking to the streets?!?!?!
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (12.24.06)
In one year, this immoral imbecile Olmert has destroyed the morale and the deterring fame of the IDF, he has lost a war with a bunch of medieval terrorists, he has turned his back on the settlers he forcibly dragged out of Gaza, he has allowed terror missiles to rain unchecked on Eretz Yisrael, he has broken the sacred law of not allowing one Israeli soldier to remain in captivity, he has broken the tradition of ambiguity about Israel's bomb, and now he kisses a Jew-killer with ebbing political power, treats him as an honored head of state, sets up the PA flag in the Israeli PM office, and gifts him with $100M to fund more terror, with ZERO concessions in return. FOR G-D'S SAKE, ISRAELIS, GET UP OFF YOUR TACHAT AND GET INTO THE STREETS AND TAKE BACK YOUR GOVERNMENT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!
8. it was just a slip of the tongue....
Z Lando ,   Tekoa   (12.24.06)
Don't worry, Adler the spinner can always explain with some amazing spin... Who needs a good prime minister when you have SpinMan? Who needs a good army when you have SpinMan? Who needs honor when you have SpinMan?
9. Is Olmert for real???
rht ,   Jerusalem   (12.24.06)
Let's assume that Abu Mazen really wants peace (Something i don't beleive, but for the sake of our argument i will make that assumption.). Then the Hamas Govt (elected by a Majority of the PA residents) does not honor the deal and wants more and more concessions. Why bother? You can not deal with people who don't want peace, who don't behave according to the same moral code that you do. Wake up befor it is too late.
10. NAUSEATING.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.24.06)
I feel like throwing up. Every time I think Olmert has sunk to a new low, he proves me wrong - he can always sink lower.
11. Olmert wants PEACE with the Pal's
Tamar ,   Israel   (12.24.06)
Palestinians ( with no exception ) want : I S R A E L P I E C E by P I E C E --------------------------------------------------
12. What Next?
Michael Ben Raphael ,   Tel Aviv   (12.24.06)
I agree completely with Roscio and i would like to add one more thing. He kissed a Holocaust denier. Abbas did his PHD as a thesis denying the Holocaust at Moscow university. It would be better to have a goy leader than Olmert. He truly brings immense shame on our people.
13. Impeach Olmert Today!
Miriam   (12.24.06)
He is a traitor to Am Yisroel.
14. Disgraceful
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (12.24.06)
What leader of a country with any self-respect would invite the leader of a terrorist group that seeks its destruction to its capital and even put up their flag? Would Bush invite Osama bin Laden to met with him at the White House?
15. Who's next? Nasrallah? Pucker up Olmert!
Vincent ,   Haifa   (12.24.06)
16. Great news
Russel ,   Tlv   (12.24.06)
hope they can sustain the goodwill and translate it into peace. Hope the rest of the Arab world gets to see the two flags flying together.
17. Next Olmert will hang the Palestinian flag on the Knesset
Etay   (12.24.06)
18. BOLMERT SELLS HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL

19. ISRAELIS, DO YOU ALL ONLY WAKE UP WHEN A SHOAH OCCURS?
Bruno ,   Australia   (12.24.06)
20. EVEN HITLER WASN'T APPEASED SO WELL IN '38
Bruno ,   Australia   (12.24.06)
21. WARM WELCOME
HENRYK ,   RAMAT GAN/ISRAEL   (12.24.06)
DOES NOT REMAIND YOU THE DAYS WHEN THE USA USED TO COURT TAIPEI INSTEAD OF THE PR CHINA?
22. To #3 Israel is the Loser
David   (12.24.06)
Olmert is a loser, unfortunately with him at the helm Israel will end up being the real loser. Get rid of that piece of trash!
23. Tired of having to win.
Amy ,   off rt 40   (12.24.06)
Disneyland, you are taking Olmert's "tired of winning" entirely out of context and you know it. And #5, I'm with you. Praying for peace every second.
24. Correction: In their private quarters not the case
Ilan ,   Ariel   (12.24.06)
His wife has favored the Palestine flag for some time now.
25. See Sneek Preview of Olmerts Next VIP Dinner Invitations!!!

26. HOPE FOR ISRAEL!
KUMA ,   Sweden   (12.24.06)
At last! Hopefully Olmert is far more smarter than most of the talkbacks on this page! PEACE FOR ISRAEL, PEACE AND A STATE FOR THE PALS!
27. When is Olmert Inviting PA/PLO, Hamas et al into the Knesset
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.24.06)
so that the terrorists can run things from the Knesset rather than from their present locations???
28. Re: Kuma of Sweden's "hope for Israel"
Kate ,   London, UK   (12.24.06)
Aside from the fact that Israel has offered the Palestinians a state on a number of occasions (most notably in 2000), I do find your "hope" rather rich. For almost 200 years the people of Sweden have stood by and done nothing as Europe has gone up in flames on numerous occasions. They have remained completely passive as genocide has been committed on their doorstep and even have gone so far as to openly collaborate with Nazi Germany. And now with all this moral authority Sweden has stored up over the ages you come and preach to little Israel, one of the most courageous nations on the planet. As I said, your comment is extremely rich.
29. it is in Israel court
Fares ,   Cleveland   (12.24.06)
the Ball of course . several initiatives are on the table .. the Arab Summit initiative .. the clinton'sone .. the syrian president 's one .. it seems that israelis need to talk to each other and decide what they want before they are forced to a demographic solution ,and they will . last week Barbara walter episode on ABC about is there a heaven .. she couldn't have two rabbis agreeing on the subject if there is heaven or not .it was the best of MRS walter i have ever seen (she did not mean to ,i am sure ) PM of Israel Raising Pal flag in his house ..yet the Israeli history books in schools still saying that ....there is such thing called palestinians . like i said ..this war will be won in the bed rooms ,at the end of the day ..one million palestinians are there and thanks to the aparthied wall ..you just put 240,000 palestinians inside Israel ,..(in few years they will be another one million) ....for free . thank you Sharon for accelerating the one state solution (palestine of course ). time is running out ..pick one of those plans and remember jerusalem is a non negotiable subject IF ...IF ....IF you want peace . and also based on JIMMY Carter last Book ..you never did want peace ,you just wanted to have time to fill more settlers in the west bank and create facts on the ground to swallow Jerusalem . all will fail i assure you .
30. Main part of preparation is the news story after
Steve ,   USA   (12.24.06)
B"H The two leaders must work hard to prepare the news story for after their meeting. After that is done, they can meet, the story can be written with the photo opportunity, and they can move forward to the next press release. That is the level of today's mass-media leadership.
