1. DEMOCRACY's FAILING: VOTERS GET THEIR CHOICE AND MUST SUFFER FOR IT. UNFORTUNATELY EVER OTHER SYSTEM IS WORSE. Pals voted for Hamas and Israel voted for Olmert. Both societies picked the worst possible choices. Unfortunately Theocracy, dictatorships, etc. are all worse than letting the masses of uneducated and agenda driven people make critical choices for their governments. 2. REFUAH SHELEMAH We all will a speedy and full recovery to the soldiers injured. 3. STUPIDITY OF ANNOUNCEMENT Telling the terrorists that they have time to prepare their hiding places, etc. loses the element of suprise and is enormously stupid. But for the Olmert govt. this is no suprise. 4. IRONICALLY STUPID INSULT TO SDEROT SUPPORTS TERRORISM. By all dispassionate logic the attacks on Sderot and innocent civilians is clearly an act of terrorism. On the other hand, this unfortunate attack accidently hit soldiers which constitutes an ACT OF WAR and as such has legitimacy. Therefore, if Israel and IDF ignore the pain and suffering of the residents of Sderot all this time along with all their casulties and only act when soldiers are attacked, this says that Israel does not care enough about its innocent civilians, does not fight terror enough, and only protects its own soldiers who are legitimate targets as an act of war. 4. TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY YOU MUST UNDERSTAND YOUR ENEMY. It is clear that the terrorists do not learn from their mistakes and continue to repeat them. The Qassam rockets rarely hit any targets and but they continue to launch them. Unfortunately this time it did hit a target. The Arabs/Moslems do not take ownership of their failures but blame everything on Israel. They also use the "David and Goliath" argument to legitimize their terrorist actions. Israel on the other hand should understand that Arabs understand "Eye for an Eye" and have no defence for that argument. Therefore Sderot residents should be given inaccurate cheap rockets to fire back at Gaza while the govt. and IDF look the other way just as the PAL govt in Gaza does. Rockets raining down in Gaza just as they do in Sdertot would quickly stop the Qassams.

Olmert's wife is left of Lenin. His two sons are hiding in the US because they are afraid to serve in the army. His lesbian daughter (just a statement of fact) spends her time with the hated and despised Machsom Watch - checking to see if IDF soldiers who are checking for bombs and knives are being nice and polite to the Palestinians. This is not because of Bush but becuause of a family of cowards and sad lonely people. Israelis would never have chosen a wimp like Olmert to be PM but we had him by default when Sharon was incapacitated --- Mike And I feel ashamed of him ....

Olmert still can say no to them and protect the Israeli's. One has to ask, if his role here is his choice or a pre-program. I believe Marcel is aware that G*o*g* Bush is that of Gog. So he will of course preasure the hell out of the Israeli gov't. If haShem has orchestrated Bush being Gog, then is it not logical that He also put in Olmert. Don't get me wrong, this guy nausiates and frustrates the tar out of me, but being Olmert is found in the midrash as being part of the final round, then we can complain all we want. In reality there is nothing we can do. Even the Gaza withdrawl was predestined. So we can watch and wait. Shana Tova

Like most Jews you are blind and cluless ,The BIGsuperpower dominates over the little Jewsih nation of Israel in every way ,every day. Take off your rose colored glases and understand that Bush is pushing for the ethnic cleansing of Judea and Samaria and he will not permit Olmert to foil his plans by going into Gaza and enraging his buddies in Saudi Arabia ,Egypt . He also restrains impotent Israel so his Iraq blunder does not get any worse.

If Washington is connected to this, it should be investigated and reported to Congress.

the number one danger to Israel is its leaders?

I agree that Goerge is Israel's greatest evil . what Israel's enemies could not do in five wars Bush is doing with a grin. Brod is an exampl,e of America's dumbed downness and emptiness. Another dead end from Brod ,thank you sir. What has the congress done for Israel of substance except move their lying lips. America will soon face the great wrath of God and when iot happens all the naysayers who worship the U.S. will realize they were wrong ,but it will be too late for most of them. Those Jews who bowed their hearts to gog and ignore HASHEM will be judged SOON as well unles they turn away from the lie and the liar and his puppet Olmert.

What a bunch of friggin schnorrers. Just yesterday I got a call from one of these schnorrers (Sfardy--Ashkenazi==same dreck) asking for a dedovah. I told him I gave at the office... Did he say ok Happy New Year? No he simply hung up. Schnorrers schnorrers... They are leading Isreal to an early death..... Dont they realize that their own brothers and sisters will be engulfed in the ensuing fire. I quess not..

Olmert, Livni and Barak - the Kitchen Cabinet - have Jewish blood on their hands. Moreover they are the biggest cowards Israel has seen since its existence. If the kitchen is too hot for them, they should get out and let other more responsible people protect the people of Israel. To this trio I do NOT wish Shana Tova.

You wrote: "Like most Jews you are blind and cluless ," Thars a rather anti - semetic statement you made. I and most jews would agree that bush is screwing the middle east for the sake of oil from the Saudies, and im a jew.

You do not need to use filthy language. If Rice or Bush is doing the governing for Olmert, then the world needs to know about it. Congress needs to be informed. I am sure Congress will not approve of such an act. I believe that Olmert and his government should be accountable for their action or inaction.

It's a fact that most Jews,Zionists even have held up Bush as their idol. The majority of Zionists Jews I know are silent about the Bush Road Map and makes excuses for him ,niavely blaming the state dept instead. Plaut,Eidelberg,Arieh Z.,Caroline Glick, Netanyahu,T.Belman and hundreds more will speak out against what Olmert is doing but not what Bush is telling Olmert to do. It's as if they cannot speak ill of this devil who divides Israel. Their fearful silence honors evil Batya M and Ellen and the rest of Israel have never put up a united fight against Bush and his Road Map. They just give weak token responses to the great evil the U.S. under Bush is doing. Michael Freund and Caroline G.sees him as the messaih who will save Israel from Iran. Very few Jews like yourself see Bush for the evil man he truly is and the majority silently without a fight go along with Bushs' plan.

He will bring Israel it's own 9/11!
