well like you always say: anyone is better than the zionists. enjoy.
3. Olmert, what's this threatening business again?
Miriam ,   Israel   (08.19.08)
Hizbullah will believe you as much as Fatah and Hamas do and as much as Israelis do, especially since you ran away in the middle of the previous war against their tiny group of terrorists, losing the war. Olmert, you're a laughingstock to the Arabs, to the Israelis and to the rest of the world. How about saying Quits? You're not getting much accomplished anyhow - actually, you never did since you've appointed yourself Prime Minister. I’m sorry, I forgot, you did accomplish something – you released hundreds of terrorists with blood on their hands and supported the enemy with weapons. Something you should really be proud of as Prime Minister of Israel.
4. For your information Mr Olmert
Millicent ,   Haifa Bay Israel   (08.19.08)
Not all of us Northern Residents had the option to stay near our shelters during the Second Lebanon War during the summer.I was busy having to dodge rocket fire on my daily trips to Rambam Medical center for radiation treatment, and it was very nerve wracking, having to worry about sirens going off and rockets falling on the drive back and forth past the Haifa Chemical Plants area! The threat was very real and not in my mind at the time, don't belittle what I felt, not knowing if I could make it to safety when the sirens blared! A few times I was caught outside and had to drive fast to a store to get shelter, it is scary, as scary if not more than undergoing radiation treatment for cancer! Until you have lived underfire as we residents of the North did(some of us lost our livilihoods as well because of that war), or the residents of Sderot who have constant rocket fire don't tell us that the threat that we perceive in our minds is larger than the real threat, because that is just pure B>S!
5. Empty threats, as usual for the PM.
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.19.08)
Dear Mr. PM, We don't believe you. The bad guys don't believe you. Nobody believes you or in you. Time to write your memoirs. Of course, in the book store, it will be found in the section marked FICTION.
6. Translation Below
emanon ,   USA   (08.19.08)
When Olmert says he'll go all out, he means he will release every last arab prisoner in Israeli jails. He'll show them, Olmert will force all these people to be repatriated to their homeland. Immediately after the jails are emptied of all the murderers, terrorists and their sympathizers, Olmert will put on his special sunglasses, the one's with the mirrors on the inside of the frame and rose tinting on the outside. He will then loudly proclaim, "I see no problem. If you look into my eyes, you will see that all is rosy with the world."
7. S-H-U-T U-P, already!!
Gideon Reader   (08.19.08)
The Headline should read: "Militarily Incompent, but totally sleazy Kakistacrat believes he is still able to fool all of the people all of the time; including Hezbollah". Doesn't this Putz collect pens or envelopes full of cash, or cheaply bought luxury flats or something? Get some kind of hobby, Ehud, please!
8. Why didn't you go all out in 2006?
(08.19.08)
Olmert, go away! Let us choose someone who is looking after the interests of the nation of Israel instead of his own bank account and trips abroad!
9. The French gave Omert a blank check
Jope ,   Ohio, USA   (08.19.08)
in dealing with the UN in their war against Hizbullah. What did this text book example of failure do? He CHOOSE to lose because he was tired of winning and being brave. Now after all this time, pain and loss he announces he's going to take the gloves off. Yea sure!Too little wat too late. This loser still doesn't have a national survival instinct or spine. To bad those skills he seems to have reserved for his personal advancement. Just leave NOW and do us all a favor

zionist forever   (08.19.08)
Olmert knows all about fighting wars in Lebanon it was supposed to be gloves off war in 2006 but thanks to this genius it was a humiliating defeat. Then he humiliates the country and himself more by the Kuntar for corpses deal. Israels political system is not democratic but Olmert is the closest the country has come to having a dictaitor but now he is a lame duck and once his priministerial imunity runs out he will be on his way to a prison cell.
13. Ya, ya, ya, just give me my gas already!!
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.19.08)
Olmert, leave office, go hide in New York with your wife and kids and don't bother us anymore.

Ilan ,   Israel   (08.20.08)
"in 2006 ..... it was a humiliating defeat. " Some 'zionist forever'. Looks like you take your advice from Nasrallah, you fool. We may not have won with a knock out, and we could and should have done much better, but 'humiliating defeat'??? Next you'll be quoting Ahmedinajad.
16. Just one question: Why is Nasrallah still alive?

Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.20.08)
off with bribes and money. Then Israel is on its own, and he is on a plane to Miami Beach to meet his family.
21. We should not wait : We should beat the Hezbullah to the...
Robert Bernier   (08.20.08)
We should not wait : We should beat the Hezbullah to the ground. If “the next attack on Israel is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’” we should not wait. As we have seen in the last Lebanon war, terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of the Israeli society. We should beat the Hezbullah to the ground and make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them. We stand together to win the war against terrorism. We should be prepared to fight them without any other consideration than beat them as explained at: http://xrl.us/kkxrc
22. # 17 Don't call Olmert a Coward
Larry ,   zefat israel   (08.20.08)
Prime Minister Olmert responded immediately and correctly to Hizbullah kidnapping and provocation.That took a lot of courage. Hizbullah chief Nasrallah said if he knew that Israel would respond the way it did he would never have kidnapped the two Israeli soldiers Regev and Goldwasser.Prime Minister Olmert is certainly not a Coward.Thanks to his actions the I.D.F. is much better prepared for War today than for many years ,during which time it became too complacent and lazy.Maybe Olmert made some bad decisions and mistakes ,who doesn't ?but stop calling him a coward,especially from behind your computer.Hizbullah during the Past seven or eight years .when Sharon and Barak and others were in charge here were allowed to build up their strength meters away from the border under the noses of the Israelis who ignored the threat and did nothing to prevent it until Olmert took action.Hizbullah was badly hurt in the 2006 war ,you better believe it so keep your stupid mouth shut.
23. # 17 Olmert doing just fine
Larry ,   zefat israel   (08.20.08)
Thanks to prime minister Olmert and his COURAGE ,the Syrian Nuclear Reactor being built with help from North Korea and others is no more ...Dust.Also the Syrian General responsible for delivering weapons to Hizbullah was assasinated by a sniper two weeks ago,another brilliant and courageous move by our prime minister.Also thanks to Mr.Olmert Sheik Nasrallah is hiding terrified to come out in a rathole with Samir Kuntar who is now a dead man walking ...another masterful move by Olmert.The trouble with Olmert,and a major disadvantage for him ,is he is so smart and slick that dummies such as you sir can not see the bigger picture.Think you've got problems now? just wait until Livni or Mofaz or Barach takes over from Ehud Olmert you suckers.
24. More proof of the May 15th Prophecy
May15thProphecy ,   Los Angeles, Ca   (08.20.08)
This article "Olmert No holding back against Hizbullah" is more proof of the 100% accuracy of the MAY 15th PROPHECY which has declared Israel, Britain and the U.S. have been reduce down to expensive Saber-Rattlers Do a Google search of the MAY 15th PROPHECY and you will see with 100% accuracy what is about to occur
25. The grime and desolation that is Oilymert
EGW ,   vancouver canada   (08.20.08)
Do the newspapers never get tired of printing these empty mouthings of a slick corrupter of everything and everyone he makes contact with. And do the readers never get tired reading all that untrue drek....????
26. note to olmart from Nasrallah:
hamdan ,   saudi arabia   (08.20.08)
why don't you take your soldiers and train them in Georgia?? oh I forgot. you were doing the training before their retreat.
27. If Lebanon becomes a "land of Hizbullah"???
Jay ,   USA   (08.20.08)
Huh? Isn't Olmert following the Lebanese news? Lebanon is already a land of Hizbullah. Hizbullah has received all its demands from the Lebanese government - it's actually a part of the new unity government which declared that Hizbullah has the right to defend Lebanon whith whatever means necessary. Now Mr. Olmert, what to do??? I've got an answer for you - stop yapping and running your mouth with empty threats, and resign already.
28. olmert brags
alexi   (08.20.08)
Just like lebanon 2006 war, olmert shoots his mouth off. He wouldn't authorize the destruction of lebanese cites even if haifa were destroyed. He has no strength, no guts to do this kind of thing. He has zero capacity to conduct foreign affairs. Dror and winograd should give their commission money back for whitewashing olmert and allowing him to stay in power. Any state commission would have thrown him out. He will get his due by the indictment and trial that is facing him. This time, he is going to jail. Mazzuz reportedly said that a he saved 330,000 on his house in exchange for some ministry of industry favors that he granted to a company. The doublebilling case is most compelling. All israelis will be happy to see him in jail. His buddies from haaretz can visit him there.

zionist forever   (08.20.08)
It was a humiliating defeat as a result of Olmerts handling of the war not a superior enemy. Olmert rushed into war with no clear objectives Olmert, Peretz & Halutz didnt listen to the men on the ground and Halutz was convinced the war could be won by air power alone and neglected the infantry at first. Despite the fact that Bush was trying to delay the UN calling for a ceacefire to give Israel time to finish off Hizbullah Olmert screwed it up. Then he accepted resolution 1701 With compitent leadership the war could have been won but I think most people agree it was a humiliating defeat and it was thanks to Israels leadership
30. ohlmert
sas ,   israel   (08.20.08)
STOP TALKING AS IF YOU ARE/WERE A GREAT LEADER. EVERYONE SAW WHAT YOU DID 2 YEARS AGO IN LEBANON. EVERYONE SAW THAT YOU AGREED TO UN RESOLUTION 1701 AND WHERE IS SHALIT AND INFO. ON RON ARAD????? YOU ARE BETTER OFF IF YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED. YOU STILL ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION. YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSELF TO BE AN EXTREMELY WEAK PRIME MINISTER. SO CALM DOWN AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH. THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH. I KNOW IT IS DIFFICULT - BUT TRY. YOU HAVE RUINED THIS COUNTRY FOR GENERATIONS. THE DAMAGE YOU CAUSED IS ALMOST AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
