The nation is getting fed up withthem always supporting the enemy, and besides that, demographically, they are on the losing side. Leftist capitulationists have 1-2 kids, and the religious have 3 or more times as many- at least.

You & others on the left are the extremists. You disregard all previous history, all evidence, all common sense, & all rational analysis. You hide behind meaningless rhetoric whose purpose is to obscure reality. All of your ideas have led to disaster but you cling to them nonetheless unable to admit their total failure. You live with daydreams, illusions, & delusions with no thought to consequences. You are self-righteous, smug, holier-than-thou sanctimonious hypocrites who prefer make-believe to reality. And you have the nerve to call others extremists?

and 10% are the foolish, Leftists, anti-Zionist, self-hating Jews destroying this country, how come it's the 10% that's leading this country? Why hasn't the dumbest prime minister in the history of Israel, been replaced already? Why wasn't this government overthrown already last year? Are you waiting for a civil war?

why so many right wing extremists on these english talkbacks ? are you all from america ? remember who it was who murdered peace the last time we seriously tried ? killers of our Rabin go home to your US of A !!!!!!

everybody knows that olmert met you in order to get your aid...so the day olmert will be in jail ...i hope you will go in jail with him !

We all sit here and complain about how much we hate Olmert and how much we want to get rid of him here on Ynet, and yet we do nothing. Let's see some of this democracy in action that we hear so much about. JOIN THE OLMERT GO HOME CAMPAIGN! http://olmerthabayta.proboards55.com/index.cgi

Oz wrote: The (extremist) "rightist camp argued that Arafat was too dangerous, and therefore it was not worthwhile making peace with him." It WAS worthwile making peace with this arch-terrorist-murderer? Good grief.

Remember how he predicted after we pulled out from Lebanon in 2000, we could "forget the word Hizbollah"? Didn't that work out well.

Oz is all about bashing Israel and especially Israel's right to exist. We in Usa are fed up w/ the leftisists from Olmert and Peres to Oz. we have cancelled our annual trip and will not return to Israel while the country is on a suicidal mission. Goodbye and goodluck.

and he has a German passport. No worries.

it certainly didn't result in PEACE. even you cannot dispute this.

cafes and busses were blowing up long before the "peace" was "murdered", my dear misguided kibutznik if only Stalin was still around, right? sigh...

Because there ARE more Right-wings than Left-wing, especially in Israel. But because the corrupt Left have the sole control over the media, they have the power. It's time for the government to be overthrown and for the right to take over if we want this country to get back to normal.

Terry, as usual, has it 100% correct.

if that was true , which it is not, then the right wing would be in power, which they are not . Israel is a democracy if you have not noticed, even though you extremists keep trying to kill it even to the extent of shooting elected prime ministers in the back . We are the majority haver not you . Did not the Gaza withdrawal teach you anything ?

Amos Oz and his ilk are the real danger to Israel. They live in a world of fantasy and make believe. And bring forward danger and destruction on our own people. They are such an incredible minority yet think its only theyre views that counts, the rest are just cowboys. Now just who is the real extremist?

he spends more time concerned with the palestinians than he does of the domestic issues facing israeli citizens. He is not leading historic changes,he is being led by outside countries that do not put the security of Israel on top of their agenda. 'His Leadership" has nothing to compare to because no leader in history would be so daring and stupid at the same time. if Israel could take 1% of the arrogance Israeli "leaders have and turn it into common sense,:israel would be much stronger.

the PA has NO interested in peace with Israel and only a hudna. Take, give nothing, rest, take, give nothing, rest .. This is clear to any thinking person that wants to understand. This is Islam's way of bringing Sharia to the world. Oz is not stupid but sadly he is unready to admit that he has been wrong and continues to push past dreams. Mike http://hudna.notlong.com

Oz asks: "What will happen if the current talks fail? The two-state solution may see its demise in case of such failure, and we shall be forced to choose between two historical disasters: One state (approaching an Arab majority) between the Jordan River and Mediterranean, or an Israeli apartheid regime that continues to repress the occupied Palestinians by force, while the Palestinians continue to violently resist. " On the other hand I ask: "What would happen if Annapolis succeeds? "What will happen if the current talks succeed? The two-state solution WILL see its demise in case of such SUCCESS, and ISRAEL shall be forced to ACCEPT A SINGLE historical disaster: a Palestinian apartheid regime that continues to murder Jews, while the JEWS continue NOT to violently resist THEIR OWN DEMISE." And, the Palestinians will be killing them with the very guns and bullets Olmert gave them.

Who said that, being an intellectual doesn't mean being intelligent? I know very simple people who hardly know how to read, with more common sense than Mr Oz in their little finger.
