1. Superb article - Olmert - Read this!
BigE ,   Israel   (07.15.07)
Every member of the Knesset should read this article. Unfortunately most of them have their heads in the sand.
2. 'Strengthening' Abbas won't help and will cost Jewish blood.
Uzi ,   Haifa   (07.15.07)
Tanzim, Al-Aksa Martyr Brigades, Fatah, Hamas, Jihad, DFLP, DPLP, PRC, Hizbolla, etc, are all rabid murderers who must be hunted down and destroyed to the very last. This will promote real peace and benefit everybody including Abbas.
3. Time to reverse Oslo and bury the rotting carcass of the PA
Uzi ,   Haifa   (07.15.07)
The PA was conceived in sin and could never be viable. Now it's decomposing and becoming a growing health hazard for everybody. There has never been a distinct nation of the Western Palestine Arabs who are indistinguishable from any other Arabs of Greater Eretz Yisrael. The only viable nation state of all Greater Palestine Arabs is the Kingdom of Jordan. Israel and Jordan should agree on the border between them in Judea and Samaria and maybe cede Gaza to Egypt that would sort it out quite smartly.
4. Delusional left likes delusional prisoner releases
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.15.07)
The big lie about the self-proclaimed "peace-camp" is that they care about human life and peace. If they were truly champions of human rights they would be the first to protest the release of avowed murderers. For them this is an acceptable risk as they disbelieve the possibility that when Israeli victims are buried their loved ones could be included.
5. Israel want peace?
Miguel Rodriguez ,   Isabela, Puerto Rico   (07.15.07)
How you can reach peace? In America (the continent) we have a question: Israel want peace? I agree on disengagement for both sides, but Israel and palestinian need a funtional and peaceful disengement.
6. A leopard cant change its spots
Alan ,   SA   (07.15.07)
7. Israel Continues to Make Mistakes
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. CA USA   (07.15.07)
To UZI: Something is terribly wrong in Denmark. Israel keeps on reversing it's polices and practices. First Oslo, then the Saudi Plan, now Fatah leniency. Virtually nothing Israel has done for 15 years makes sense. It takes one stop fwd and 2 steps backwards. It learns nothing from mistakes..disengagement, etc. Now Fatah is all of a sudden the good guys. Everyone is playing Israel for a fool, which it is. This is not about Fatah, or Hamas, it's about survival.
8. Back to Oslo
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (07.15.07)
Great piece. What do you except we now are saddled with the man that brought us the Oslo illusion as our New President.
9. 9 to 5
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.15.07)
What will these asshats do, when they get home? Go back to their old jobs as firemen, policemen, support techies for Windows and barbers? Yeah, right!
10. Author is right: disengage from Palestinian world!
Steve ,   US   (07.15.07)
11. This article is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Olmert is a moron.
Gary A. MD ,   Boston MA USA   (07.15.07)
Olmert is clearly a brain dead fool. Only a fool, or a moron would do this.
12. #5 Miguel
Dave   (07.15.07)
I speak English and Spanish and had trouble understanding what you mean to say.
13. The Palestinians and us
mark ,   raanana   (07.15.07)
Bravo! Spot on. The best I've read in months
14. Back to Oslo
Paul ,   NewYork USA.   (07.16.07)
Basically a good article, but falls short: Israel should declare the so called "WestBank" part of the land of Israel and make those who are citizens of Jordan help to repatriate. Others should declare allegiance to the state-or-let them move also. Remember what they said to the English when asked to join the Palestinian brigade:We are not jews they are the palestinians. Let them be just as they really are: Non palestinians, let them join their bretheren elswhere
15. The Oslo illusion has cost
simon ,   belgium   (07.16.07)
lots of very prescious yong Isaeli lives who only lost their lives due to political risks taken by Israeli leaders who have no sons in the armies of Israel. This has to be stopped but the question is how? I believe a good way would be by having the parents of these yong dead soilders sue the Israeli goverment.
16. When Feiglin becomes PM, the Osloists will be put on trial
Dudu ,   Kfar Sava   (07.16.07)
for sedition, manslaughter and ideological incomptence.
17. Oslo as president
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (07.16.07)
An amputated Fatah, an alienated Hamas and a delusional Peres, that`s what we have now.
18. We must arm the baby killers!!! Lets import some .
Marge K.   (07.16.07)
19. In other words, be right, not be smart
Ariel ,   Judean Hills   (07.17.07)
Otherwise we outwit ourselves, rather than the enemy.
