1. Olmert doing a job
Greg ,   Painmills, USA   (01.31.08)
Would you fire a manager of a supermarket if his wife stole a stake in the suppe?. Of course, NO.
2. Olmert s a political businessman....
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (01.31.08)
that`s all.
3. #1 - Greg, If the manager were...
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.31.08)
If the manager were running the supermarket into the ground, losing market share, and purposefully turning customers away to the competition, you bet the manager would be fired! This is exactly what Olmert is doing. He is running Israel into the ground, he is losing the PR war and his suicidal advancement of the 'Peace Process' (which is nothing more than a 'hudna' process) is erroneously granting legitimacy to the Arabs ficticious claims to the land. Olmert must go! NOW!
4. After the Winograd report.
Harold Lane ,   Tel Aviv   (01.31.08)
It was not the task of the Winograd commission to add to its report recommandations for a solution of the Israelo-Arab conflict. However, if we want to stop the killings and avoid future wars we should have the courage to consider realistic original solutions. One of these possibilities is described at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/win-win-solution-to-arab-israeli_7104.html

6. Hooray for Ehud & Tzipi!!!
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (01.31.08)
Condolences to the Jewish people.
7. It´s time for the people to demonstrate
salomon_mizrahi ,   Sao Carlos/SP/Brazil   (01.31.08)
Even being despicable, Olmert, Barak and the team governing Israel, were legitimately elected by Israeli citizens...It is obvious that this team together with the parties that support them plus President Peres are acting selfishly and in detriment of the benefit of the people...Due to their lack of responsibility they are not going to renounce to power… because, as any politician, their first aim is to survive politically... The responsibility goes back to Israeli citizens, if these 58% (according to polls) really want their resignation they should act by talking the streets and demonstrate in front of the Knesset... this is the only form to get their resignation...otherwise they will continue to stick to power relentlessly.
8. No my friend Salomon, it is time for the people
Dan ,   USA   (01.31.08)
to vote. Vote and keep voting. Vote until the politicians get the message that either they get their acts together or they are unemployed. That is what really scares them.
9. IS THE MEMORY OF .................................
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (01.31.08)
THIS GRANDFATHER TO A BASTARD ACTION'S; POST HANNAH SOFER, AFTER HIS MOTORCADE HIT HER GOING TO REPEAT ITSELF IN THE COLLECTIVE AMNESIA RE; HIS ALLEGED "CANCER" PRE ANNAPOLIS ? WILL HE EVER BE TREATED FOR IT ? WAS IT AN OUTRIGHT LIE OR IS IT NOT OF ANY POLITICAL CURRENCY TO MAKE IT PUBLIC ? HE WOULDN'T BE CULPABLE WERE HE GENUINELY STUPID BUT, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED WERE HE STUPID ENOUGH TO FOREGO TREATMENT- HE'D MAKE MY DAY !
10. Olmert
Paul Schnek ,   JacksonHeights Queen   (02.01.08)
Who but Olmert appointed Peretz the Putz to be a defense minister. If nothing else this alone is a serious crime good enough to get rid of this gutless political animal.
11. ohlmert
sad ,   israel   (02.01.08)
needs to be punished/replaced/operated on. we need to get rid of hi from the seat of the PM.
12. Eyal Megged should be fired as a writer
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (02.01.08)
because he wrote: "an ongoing failure that started with the contempt shown to the Syrian desire for dialogue." If he thinks that we "failed" because we didn't show enough appreciation for the Syrians' desire for peace with us, and didn't try hard enough to hand them the Golan and destroy all the Israeli communities on it (Rabin, Netanyahu, and Barak all tried hard to do it), then he is as big an idiot as Olmert and the rest of what he says loses its value.
13. Olmert
Michael ,   usa   (02.02.08)
I love Israel and will always support her and pray for her. Being said, my wife and I cancelled our annual trip to Israel as a protest . Olmert is only the tip of the iceberg. It seems that every Israeli leader is a leftist who retains power by pushing an anti-Zionist agenda. Israel is being destroyed from within. How sad.
14. G-d save us from Olmert!
Hezy ,   Jerusalem   (02.02.08)
