1. Oh the stench!
Jonathan ,   Israel   (05.19.08)
What a stinking criminal. Time to go, Mr Olmert.
2. Olmert MUST Resign!
We the People ,   The Galilee   (05.19.08)
Ehud Olmert is making his situation worse. Legal shenanigans, alleged veiled threats against witnesses (Talansky's allegation) and obvious abuse of his Parliamentary Immunity will not exactly endear him to the public. He has almost destroyed Ariel Sharon's dream, he is in the process of destroying the Kadimah Party and he is making a fool of the State of Israel. This is his 60th birthday present to our country! Mr. Olmert, you must go now! Yes, you have right to prove your innocence in a court of law but you have an obligation to serve the people and you cannot do both. resign! WE THE PEOPLE SAY SO! That, Mr. Olmert is our right! The Attorney General must also take into consideration what is best for the country. An indictment would force Olmert to resign. So, use what you have and what you can prove NOW and get him out! Prove to him that even Teflon eventually wears off.
3. "A few months before a decision is made on an indictment."
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (05.19.08)
This whole thing stinks of bad politics aimed at hurting the existing Government. They are not sure if they want to take a statement from a witness or suspect. If it is the first then a statement is fine but a pre-trial deposition is against legal procedure and unreasonable. This is especially true if there is a chance that it can be used to convict Talansky himself. The timing and actions seem to indicate that the claim he may not return is more likely tied to wanting to prosecute Talansky too.

5. Dragging police investigations ///
justice   (05.19.08)
this is illegal and suspicious ! That is exactly what our 'honorable' PM is doing all the time, starting with State Controller's request to investigate him, via new allegations these days. Isn't all this called STINCH ?

7. HOW INTERESTING IT IS THAT THIS ...
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (05.19.08)
VILE REPROBATE P.M. THAT SEES NO URGENCY TO GIVING SURVIVORS, GUSH KATIF EXPELLEES THEIR JUST COMPENSATION, OR IS OPEN TO ANY SORT OF TIMELY EXPOSURE TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY SEES FIT TO INVOKE 'deprived of privileges' DEFENSE WHEN HIS DEFICATORY ANAL CANAL IS IN THE SLING ! The truth is his appointee Dictor rides shotgun over the investigation so any threat of a negative outcome, is in service to subterfuge and distraction rather than any authentic remediation ! He will of course be exonerated by a lame duck body of Dicters servants, and I'd say this is nothing but a sham posturing of disingenuous self righteousness designed to absorb the fallout WINOGRADESQELY ! A WINOGRAD BY ANY OTHER NAME, IS A WINOGRAD JUST THE SAME !
8. WILL A NEW PM ATTACK GAZA TO STOP THE ROCKETS?
petra ,   USA   (05.19.08)
OLMERT HAS BEEN LAME IN THIS DEPARTMENT. WILL SOMEONE DEFEND THE JEWS FROM THESE ROCKET ATTACKS?
9. When will Mazuz, Beilin, E. Barak be investigated or
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.19.08)
are they above that and they're not touchable? They should be on top of the list for investigation as they're the most likely to take bribe AND THAT’S SURELY AGAINST THE TORAH.
10. While Olmert's being investigated we must make NEW ELECTIONS
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.19.08)
The newspapers last week or two weeks ago mentioned that Olmert will make sure to drag this investigation out for months so that he can stay in office. And that's exactly what's happening. WHAT A CORRUPT COURT-SYSTEM! When it comes to Rightists or Religious MKs like BenIzri or Arye Deri, they were immediately removed and imprisoned. Where is justice in this case???????
11. Olmert must recuse himself immediately
Millie ,   Israel   (05.19.08)
Tomorrow is too late!
12. OLMERT YOU ARE THE GREATEST SHAME OF ISRAEL SO BE A MAN NOW
(05.19.08)
13. OLMERT GO HOME ! AND TAKE WITH YOU BARAK AND LIVNI
Ronny   (05.19.08)
14. #8 - Whom do you suggest? Liberman?
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (05.19.08)
In all honesty it is still unclear who is being charged with what(see my post #3). That aside who is there that could do a better job in the current situation? Failed PM - Bibi who helped start the second intifada and offered to give back the Gloan? Failed PM - Barak who gave back South Lebanon so it could be used to attack Israel and offered to give back the Gloan? Failed Labor leader Peretz who could not lead his union to a real success (in one case they union rebelled and went back to work without him) and failed in the second Lebanon war? Gaydamak who wants to buy a mayorship? Liberman? Who is really out there to lead us?
15. Talansaky will never come back and the case will be closed
Rami ,   Haifa   (05.19.08)
16. Drag him out kicking and screaming! The man is a disgrace!
freejay3 ,   Israel   (05.19.08)
