Yes, the world looks on in SILENT ADMIRATION, but there is a hell of a lot more that Olmert and his gang of merrymen will have to do........let us not get carried away with ONE right decision as his role of PM.

Since when is that a shame? Since Oslo perhaps?

"Something over which there is no moral dispute. We can't remember the last time we were in such a position." if the Israeli government calls the west bank "occupied territories" by definition any military operation done there is controversial.

....and nothing makes the palestinian terrorists happier than to send bombs and missiles our way to bomb us! and nothing makes the iranian regime happier than to deny our tragic history and announce that they are going to wipe us off the map. how is that?

He who dares....wins

What a load of cobblers!!! It's not going to make him popular. He sent over a 120 young soldiers to their death in the last Lebanon war, nothing can make you popular after such blatant and ignorant stupidity. He would also be wise to try and gain public support by NOT putting our soldiers lives on the line again, but by bringing home the ones who are missing. Oh God Ehud you're pathetic!!!

How low can one get, eh? Ms Kadmon is thrilled that this blatant and unwarranted act of aggression against a neighbour brings back a sparkle to her eyes, makes her stand erect, etc, etc, ad vomitum. Perhaps Ms Kadmon would feel better if her government carried out humanitarian actions, restituted the dispossed Palestinian refugees, collected the millions of cluster bombs they dropped in south Lebanon last year. What a vacuous, singularly pathetic piece of "writing" this article is. If it reflects public opinion, then the lord help us. If it reflecdts the opinion of Israeli policy makers, then lord help Israel's neighbours. What a sick, sick, sick piece of logic: threaten and intimidate your neighbours behinam and gain popularity at home. Overtones of Tarquinius and ancient Rome here, but the slight difference is that the Syrians are not the Etruscans and world public opinion is watching this latest act of Israeli arrogance.

This is an incredible thing that has been done!! God bless our soldiers and the IAF!! Shana Tovah!!

of syria and they wait only for one thing that israel will make the dirty job that anyone wants to do because syria and iran represents not only a threat to israel but also to the moderate arab regime if such thing exist and the european !!

Few things bring more pleasure than seeing miserable Israel-haters worldwide wallow helplessly in their frustration, using big, pompous words of criticism and righteous indignation, every time Israel stands up for itself and destroys its enemies' war efforts, and show everyone who's the boss in here. Stuff it, meathead!

because to date they have found sites of 940.... Slight difference but since when did you care about facts?

and nothing makes a Jew hater UNHAPPIER, than Jews defending themselves.

The deafening silence from Syria is proof that Israel was in the right, even they can't deny it.

What part do people think Olmert played in this? He doesn't know the front end of an F-15 from the back end. This is the same brilliant tactician who makes a public statement that he respects Bashar Assad? Need anyone hear anything else?

What a bunch of rubbish. The fact if that is true,that 20% is in favor of olmert is realy scary. It shows how brainwashed people are by Ynet and co. Besides that who realy wants to pound their chest for these corrupt jerks. What a blatant piece of propaganda crap Ynet is feeding the very passive israelis. Instead do some real reporting instead of feeding us bs like any other banana republic dictatorship would do. We know that you need to support a very unpopular PM, but this realy is to much yak,just sickening.

aren't we great!!! those who dare, win!

A M E N !!!

Was the strike in Syria real, or was it Olmert's sugar pill to hide his treachery and incompetence? Anyway, the kassams are still falling on Sderot and young Israeli soldiers are being murdered with guns supplied by Olmert and the U.S. Syria’s operation, as great as it was (and lets hope that it was indeed as great as implied) still doesn’t cancel Olmert’s incompetence, defeatism and his total lack of spine. It still doesn't remove hezbollah from Israel's Northern border and stop Arabs from destroying Jewish history on Temple Mount.

wow-i didnt realise he was flying in that formation?-good job olmert i didnt realize you had such a split personality-my apologies for past doubts-please-can i fly with you on the next sortie?i'd like to be your wingman------"top gun" !

cluster bombs have to exist !!!!! what kind of sick creature you are ?? I only occasionally read articles on Yedhot and I find the most ignorant hatfull people on earth. cluster bombs when dropped on civilian areas and villages are meant for killing children becasue they think it is a toy. You are a children killer Mr. what else are you, A Child abuser. SICK maniak. STRANGE.....You know I am a Palestinian who lost my grandparents land in 1948, but I dont hate Jewish children, I think they are innocent like all children in the world. Grow up you people and stop hating.

Thanks for yet another over-written, verbose offering from our resident village idiot. The only "vacuous writing" here is your own. In case you didn't know, Israel and Syria have never stopped being in a state of war. Therefore, this wasn't a "blatant act of aggression" on Israel's part. It was an act of national self-defense. And a damn good one at that. Further, it was no small help to ungrateful Europeans like yourself. The last thing the region needs is a nuclear-armed Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis. The missiles of these fanatics would be able to reach you and your little English shrubbery. Israel is fighting a front-line battle with the most horrendous, bloodlusting fanatics on the planet, and you in your infinite blindness sit and carp from a safe distance. You've just benefited from this so-called "act of aggression", but you fail to appreciate that (or admit it). What's more, your indignant rant fools no-one. The ONLY reason you're angry is that Israel weakened her enemies, not the other way around. You wouldn't mind in the slightest if it was Israel which was victimized by "aggression". You have neither principles nor sense. You're the very opposite of an astute political observer. Jewry is fortunate to have a witless, banana-brained excuse for an enemy like you.

Those who changed their mind in favor of our lousy PM just as a result of the Syrian operation are stupid and miserable . Have they forgotten smalmert's failure in the last Lebanon damned war ?? And his corruptions ???

a reason to hand out candies on your streets after women and children are murdered in a bus or public place. Your jungle attitude will be the end of you thank God.

But i think you'll settle for soul first then maybee a brain and then maybee you can climb the civilized lader and join the human race. Good luck. Dont bank on this good luck i'm wishing you, i realy dont mean it, i got sparkle in my eyes son hahahahahah

Yes there are stupid israelis, and stupider yet to believe the numbers, and Olmert is still a ZERO

It is disturbing and nauseating than to certain people(1 and 11 as an example) a very transparent act of self defense like bombing a nuclear facility belonging to madmen like the rulers of Syria and Iran that openly preach the destruction of Israel is put as an "act of aggresion" or the joy of bombing on Israels part.. People like yourself and open tolerance for muslim extremism if its directerd against Israel aRE THE BEST REASON AND PROOF OF THE NEED OF A STRONG jEWISH hOMELAND
