the whole problem can be saved through a one hundred billion dollar grant for family dachas in the territories .

people are really tired of your israel bashing. you come on an israeli site and dump on us 24/7. what is your problem?

Future. LOL Le'ts say it is freedom and democracy, so be palpable with others idea even if you don't like them and as far they are just talks.

the police chief was forced to resigned The chief of staff was forced to resigned Ramon was cinvicted and he was forced to resign. The head of the tax authority was forced to resign don't you thimk olmert that Israel has bigger problems than the arabs?! yes its called corruption. This by itself can destroy a country. Why are you wasting time with arab charades. Unfortunately, you don't need to look for problems we have plenty of internal ones. At least these problems can be fixed.The arabs are just wasting our precious resource called time.

Takes one to know one.

let alone arabs.oyyyyyyyy god help us with this fool.can you make him like sharon in bed?

Yawn,not the first time,not the last one.. Resign and take care of the money u stole...

Israel again and again is played like a fool. It just doesn't get it. An Arab interviewed on our local TV channel told the millions who viewed the broadcast that his land and home were stolen by Israel, so how can they be friends? This is the same lie that the Arabs have been saying for decades. It leaves no room for compromise (land for peace)., Israel gives up land and hopes for peace. Another Arab Palestinian said that 67 borders are a must, that the Palestinian gov't is the legitimate govt to talk to (no matter Hamas's refusal to do anything positive towards peace). Israel does not need this lose, lose situation. It gives, and gets nothing but more Kassams. It must determine it's minimum borders and allow for Palestinian autonomy, and respond to attacks forcefully. Other lines can be negotiated in the future., if feasible. Complete the fence ASAP, and those Arrows. It's priority should shift to Iran's threats..and a viable defense (or offensive). The Palestinians must again become an after thought. A few good artillery rounds could end this madness and tighter treason and sedition laws. Forget exchanges of prisoners...Shalit is a good example of this nonsensical wishful thinking. As long as Israel holds the high ground (and Golan) it is in the driver's seat. The Arabs want that ended, and are eroding Israel's tenacity and patience as their first objective, leading to Israel's collapse down the road.

Abbas .. he can make all the promises in the world and without hamas they are all empty promises and just like Arafat before him he tells the west what they want to hear but he doesnt nececarily push the idea at home. Olmert ellected on the platform of either negotiate about the creation of a 23rd arab state but if there is no partner for peace then unilateraly draw the borders based on Israels needs but Olmert has outright rejected to do that. Neither of them are willing to do what to enact the promises they made to the people to get ellected so if this is their attitude then they have lied to the people and the only solution is fresh ellections ..both men are failures anyway. Israel needs a new and compitant government before this destroys the country from within.

There is two glaring things wrong with your idiotic equation of the amount that is Islamic and the rest of the free world 1) just what makes you think that all followers of Islam have no regard for truth, freedom, and love of their families that ALL will join you in your perversion of your religion or its teachings to justify your equation of Moslems and even the Jews to claim superiority in any confrontation the Islamic fundamentalists are forcing upon our world. 2) Did you ever hear of the great equalizer, it is called Mr. Smith and Wesson, no matter how big a bully may seem and even may at times frighten the weak and timid but force that weak and timid individual to defend himself he will call upon Mr. Smith and Wesson to assist him and destroy the big bad bully As history has shown us time and time again superiority in numbers cannot overcome intelligence, Israel has defeated each and every Arab army no matter how many were arrayed against her every time they were confronted. Your entire intelligence is geared to dominate with your Billions of believers of Islam as if they are like lemmings following your hate without thinking. If you ever want to have the world embrace your religion start by teaching to love life not glorify death as no matter what you may believe after a person dies all his worldly values and scams die with him and his soul has no power to change any thing on this world ever again

Olmart’s additional conditions from Abbas in “demanding Palestinians cease rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip and immediately free an Israeli soldier captured in June” Are impossible for either Fata or Hammas separately or even in unison to comply with or fulfill as to the daily barrage of rockets fired against Israel proper even after a total withdrawal from Gaza is unrealistic as there are and will continue to be a separate terrorist entity in Gaza or any other area that will be governed by the “new unified government” who will continue to fire on Israel and these two joined terrorist entities will continually verbally condemn such acts but will never take any action what-so-ever to control these attackers and experience teaches us these group of terrorists will be funded by the Unified Palestinian Government. As far as returning the Israeli Captive Gilad, alive that is also impossible for these combined terrorists to comply with as they know full well that kidnapped Israeli soldier was murdered within the first hour after his capture, as proof of my contention is the failure of any proof of life produced by them and a total refusal to visibly see them alive by any trustworthy organization. So unless Olmart who only cares about holding on to the position of Prime Minister drops these additional conditions there can never be any agreement, but that is only if the current government has the pride to assert their rightful demands, I for one do not believe even for one moment that when shove comes to push Olmart will not fold as a lawn chair, and ignore the fate of Gilad and abandon the communities bordering Gaza
