Who'd want something from his filthy infected anti-Israel hands? what a ridiculous situation, I would throw up.

As yaakov Smirnoff says "What a country" It is lead by crooks and traitors Hey Olmert, if Israel is so GREAT , how come your sons are YORDIM? How come so many young people are leaving? Keep giving away our land and we won't have more than a few streets to be great.

'You have come to the greatest country in the world,' he tells them. Now, was I alone when I burst out laughing after reading that.

Of course he didn't refer to police recommendations to indict him!!!!! He’s telling them they’ve just arrived to the greatest country on earth! What was he going to say exactly? Hi everyone, welcome to Israel, the weather is unbearable, the dollar has us dancing, you have to earn lots of money to live a decent lifestyle but the humus is great - your kids, when they are 18, will be plucked from you and thrown into the army - and you have to relinquish all parental rights over them - Secular and Haredim hate each other - Oh and by the way, I'm going to be indicted soon? They could have sent Shimon Peres. Hi, I'm the president; I’ve given my life to the State of Israel so I can pardon terrorists who bludgeon to death little children and murder Israelis. Shouldn’t have sent anyone. What a Motley Crew!!

Hardei will take over in 30 years with a lot of new young people. And they will change Israel democracy with Torah. Now that's something to look foward to.

Olmert does not represent the reason why Jews come here in the first place. Olmert represents the state that is against Judaism and our historic rights to be here in the first place. For him it is a great country because you can be a lying thieving crook and become PM by ways of deceit and cunning and walk away with the stolen loot. On top of that he is a shameless character having the chutzpah to receive these people, which is a slap in the face and an insult, advertising how sick these Herzelists realy are.

should have caused the new immigrants to board the next flight back to the states.

for a change, different and more levelheaded. Keep it up, Talula.

I'm still holding fast to my choice together with Terry from Eilat. How about?

Thx for the vote of confidence. I think that if anyone would join this corrupted sytem, they would get infected by it , like with any virus. It will take an uprising off the population as a whole to force changes that will improve the system. Besides that the foundation of this state is not based on the Torah and is therefore doomed to fail no matter what. Only through tsuvah and accepting the Torah as our guiding principle will Am Israel sucseed in living here in peace.

However, as LOW as our Prime Minister and President sink - they cannot be compared to the loathsome and sinful behaviour of the religious party members. For THEY simply go through the motions of religious beliefs, and will have YOU believe that they are holy and religious, but all the while they are lying, stealing and running riot on the streets of Jerusalem clubbing women and beating children. Now, while this behaviour should not be tolerated in any walk of life, it just seems that much worse when a religious (or so called) religious person is committing these abhorrent crimes. They go against all teachings of the Torah and its laws, and this, as you know, is unacceptable within Judaism. So there you are Sweetheart, I hope you enjoyed this talkback as much as the other one.

I attended the cermony. We were asked to respect the office of the Prime Minister at least twice before he spoke. We honored that request until he injected politics into his speech. When he mentioned Kadima we booed him. How could we tell he was lying? His lips were moving!!

What an incredibly stupid thing to say to a planeload of olim from America. If these people were interested in living in America, they would have stayed where they were. Olmert is painfully clueless about Jewish and Zionist values.

A very big mistake to consider this group as an asset to Israel. Since they have been in power Israel has lost prestige, lost territory and direction. What more do you want. Kadima is a nice word and not a political party in Israel. A VERY BIG MISTAKE

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127508 Heres the story - no joke and kadima does what?

It is very sad that Nefesh B Nefesh would invite Ehud Olmert the day after he supported the evacuation compensation bill. The proposed bill is a racist bill to expel the 250,000 Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. Many of these residents came on Alliyah via Nefesh B'nefesh and are in danger of being expelled like what was done to the 10,000 Jews living in Gush Katif and the Northern Shomron. Nefesh B Nefesh should stop inviting Israeli officials who want to make parts of Eretz Yisrael Judenrein. This includes Tzippi Livni, Shimon Peres and Haim Ramon. With Love of Israel David Jacobs

how morally bankrupt is Olmert and his Kadima party and Israel does let it happen returning a murderer to get 2 murdered soldiers back and still talking to Arab scum

I have yet to hear him say something that doesn't make me blush with embarrassment. I can't laugh. It's too painful.

Hello fellow Olim! The flight was easy, now get ready for the bureaucracy! Check out my blog for some aliyah laughs and some tips on how to get through everything! http://aliyahsurvivalblog.wordpress.com/ A Sneak Peak: “As anyone who has flown on El Al knows, you have to go through an interrogation before being allowed to reach the ticket counter. I remember the first time I had to undergo this process and I actually was quite flattered because I thought that they were just really interested in getting to know me and I ended up developing a crush on the glorified male flight attended. However, after enduring my plane ride to New York and anticipating a fight about my packed luggage at the desk, I was not in the mood to be interrogated like a terrorist.”
