And how foolish are these mayors if they are looking for Olmert to help them. Unfortunately, as long as he's in power, you people down there will have to suffer. You have one option: Demonstrations and Protests to get rid of this weakling and powerless corrupt guy.

Olmert's response to the mayors ; I can't do anything of real substance ,just go after a few Hamas at a time. All we can do is flap our jaws and make empty threats. We are an enslaved and restrained people because we bow to the U.S. agenda as if they were Hashem. My boss,Israel's new god of peace ,President Bush won't let me and it is he whom Israel serves ,bows before and worships. I have to listen to George and he does not want the Egyptians or Saudi or Arab world upset in case he decides to go after iran. Listen fellow Jews we have to get used to being the sacrifical lamb whose blood is shed for everyone elses benifit. Get used to being killed and xpendable . Jewish blood is the cheap and it's for our god and false messiah Bush we fall and die. .Its part of the painful concessions Arik told us would come because of our covenant with death no peace Road Map.

Ehud Olmert has published his bribary pricelist. Available at www.greasemypocket.co.il interestingly enough, he charges less to protect Gazans then he charges to protect Israelis. Ehud Barak has made public a declaration about his new automated declaration tool on the internet. All proceeds from the website go to the Hamas General Terrorism Fund

I'm too busy trying to give away Jerusalem to deal with this now. Check back later.

...sustaining daily attacks from Israeli citizens indiscriminately firing rockets into Gaza. The world would shriek with indignation. Why is it okay when it's Jewish victims, Mr. Olmert?

All the residents of these towns/kibbutzim should phone the Prime Minister's office throughout the day without stopping and tie up the lines.

olmert and barak are basket cases so forget them. Start firing rockets like kassems into gaza civilian areas . Do it.

Money talks. A harsh letter will not do the trick. Similarly, demonstrations are not really effective & cannot be maintained over any period of time. But a tax revolt will make politicians quite nervous. It's not so hard to organize - it's easy not to pay bills. If all the municipalities of the South withhold all monies to the state, stop paying utilities, stop paying Bituach Leumi, you will give the powers that be a good headache. Of course, everything should still be paid but into an escrow account. Like I said, money talks.

an escrow that the corrupt courts can seize anytime at will. You're way too easy.

Israel should give Hamas an ultimatum release Shalit unconditionally or face obliteration

Stop whining. Can't you see I have more important things to worry about, like my cash flow, lawyer's fees, where to go on vacation, etc

This will get their prompt attention. Guaranteed.

This man and his corrupt sycophants have singlehandedly eroded the last vestiges of confidence that we might have had.in the institutions of government The damage that they have done and are continuing to do is incalculable

He is talking to the Hamas, trying to decide together with them what to give them. He is training good terrorists from El Fatah, to counter-balance the bad terrorists of Hamas. He is making statements to the press almost every day in which he hints that one day he might do something drastic. He even said recently that Israel's patience will not last forever. (Wow - what a powerful response THAT was!) What more do you want him to do? Defend Israel? Give me a break!
