1. PLEASE !!!
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (09.15.08)
May we be blessed to never have to listen to this looser again, he has verbal diarrhea.
2. "A meter here or there - doesn't matter"
Yerushalimey ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.15.08)
If territory is unimportant for Jews, it must be equally unimportant for non-Jews, right? In which case, let the Arabs have none of our land. Olmert cares about the "sentiment in the international community." He was elected to care for the opinion of his nation, but he doesn't, never has. Olmert's warning that if we don't buy now the price will go up makes him sound like the unscrupulous wheeler dealer he is. Oops. He's a lawyer - someone who doesn't care about justice, only about making a living at the expense of his clients.
3. Interesting negotiating strategy....
Bill Pearlman ,   new York, USA   (09.15.08)
concede everything in advance and communicate to the other side that you are absolutely desperate to have a deal and can't wait even on more minute. It is definitely a new approach
4. Who asks this crooked little man?
eli ,   ranaana   (09.15.08)
Unbelievable the temerity of this guy. We have created the walking dead from Gush Katif and he wants to do it again? Please lock this guy up and throw away the key!
5. The Price For The ARABS Keeps Rising
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (09.15.08)
Notice that every time they choose war, THEY end up in a worse situation. Time is on OUR side. Time for THEM is running out.
6. OLMERT OUT NOW
Laura ,   Israel   (09.15.08)
We will come to regret it with our very lives if this poor excuse for a "leader" and his cronies are not booted out today!
7. IDF - get up and take the reins of power
Millie ,   Greater Israel   (09.15.08)
A temporary military takeover worked well for Turkey a couple of times. It should work for us too.
8. Every day the OLMERT GANG is in power....
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (09.15.08)
Israel is damaged a bit more, and pays a higher price. Olmert and his illegitimate regime are the worst internal terrorist attack against the Jewish Nation: destroying the deterring reputation of the IDF and ruining its morale; destroying the educational system and removing Zionism and Judaism from Jewish students's minds, allowing Islamofascists to bomb Israeli sovereign territory with impugnity for years, arming and suplying Arab terrorists of Fatah, and on and on. Getting Olmert and his cronies OUT will geometrically improve Israel, her security and her chances for peace!
9. Olmert. Israel's lame brain lame duck.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (09.15.08)
Every time an Israeli leader tells us how the country will need to pay a "high price", the price goes up. Says, Bill (#3), that is an "interesting negotiating strategy". Curious that only Olmert's colleagues in his Coalition of Fools take this nonsense seriously. The sooner this clown and those of his ilk are thrown out, the sooner Israel can begin repairing the damage.
10. This Idiot is & wants to impose maximum damage!!
Mike ,   Israel   (09.15.08)
11. If the situation gets better
Sidney ,   USA   (09.15.08)
for the Arabs every day, why would they make a peace deal now?
12. Olmert as usual has it backwards
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.15.08)
The price for peace should be nothing at all. Peace for peace. The rewards for peace can be great. The longer it takes, the less the reward. Right about now it should be nothing, kind of like the value of Olmert
13. Who's responsible for missle threats?
Logic ,   Over there   (09.15.08)
Who is responsible for the strategic situation where Israel is surrounded by missles? And why should the public trust any deals made by the same people who brought the country into this precarious strategic situation?
14. Peace--YES! Peace with Arabs--NEVER!!!
Antonio ,   Haifa   (09.15.08)
There is no such thing as "Greater Israel" and never has been. Eretz Israel is Eretz Israel, and the Arabs occupying parts of our homeland must go. Olmert and his likes must go with them. Our dignity and integrity is more important than peace with Arabs.
15. SHUT UP ALREADY. LOSER
USA   (09.15.08)
16. HERE'S THE "DEAL": PALS WILL STOP WHEN ALL JEWS ARE DEAD.
(09.15.08)
To think that a 'deal' can be brokered with these people. Its clearly obvious that they are not interested in any 'deal' unless its slanted in their favour. They're only going along with this stupidity because they believe it will edge them closer to kicking out Jews ( as Arabs have done to Jews for centuries)
17. Olmert finally sees the light, Halelooya!
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (09.15.08)
This is a direct result of the 2006 war. Its about time Olmert got the message.
18. Ehud Olmert: Master salesman!
Steve ,   Fla   (09.15.08)
Jews listen intently as Olmert closes the deal: We need to "reach a deal FAST" "missing that opportunity may come at an unbearable price" But "the price will be very heavy I think that the price we pay now will be lower than what we will have to pay in the future" "those talking about missile threats – I can say now that all of Israel is already in the range of terror organizations, and so a meter here or there – doesn't matter." "There is a genuine fear that the binational narrative will be established..." "I find there is a growing sentiment in the international community embracing the idea.." Who can resist such a deal? Even if it means mass-slaughter of Jews, hey! it isworth the risk. These killers take our land and in return we get mayhem, terror, missiles and mass slaughter! We Jews drive a hard bargain. The international community will love us!
19. olmert is cancer
alexi   (09.15.08)
There he goes again, like in runup to lebanon war freaking out oh my god, then clamping restrictions on idf to lose the war. Oh demographics its killing me, the prince of talansky,shmutz that i am. I used to be for the settlers and now I am against it because my wife, a leftist will divorce me. I tried my best to get my sons not to serve in the idf and my daughter loves arabs and protests the idf at every turn. I hate the idf as well. Guess what, I hate jews and israel. I will join shaul in new york later. Israel, go screw yourself, I hate you. Signed Ehud and his soldier kissing vice premier, the lapdog and garbage dweller ramon.
20. last gasps of a politically dieing man
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (09.15.08)
Olmert needs to talk before he is finished, after Thursday, the only talking he will get to do will be in court. No one cares what he says, so let him babble Olmert, say good night Ehud K. Olmert please go, NOW
21. Few nations can match the fundamental legitimacy that ...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (09.15.08)
Few nations can match the fundamental legitimacy that Israel has. Beyond the fact that Jews were returning to their ancient homeland, the League of Nations authorized the land west of the Jordan as a Jewish homeland (and, by the way, included the Golan Heights, once known as Northern Galilee) under the Palestine Mandate of July 24, 1922. So it has no lesser legitimacy than Syria or Lebanon (under French Mandate) or Iraq (under British Mandate). Much of the land in Palestine which is claimed to be "stolen" was in fact purchased. Few nations can match the fundamental legitimacy that Israel has as explained in 5 parts at : http://xrl.us/bi5c6
22. Olmert, Perfidy and Irreversible Damage
Joe K ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.15.08)
Olmert's dance of death swan song. I've been shouting for years that the Yehudim must be saved from the Ehudim. I can only assume that the ''democratic institutions' ( please sense the sarcasm) of Israeli Government have kept these imbeciles in power and that Israeli's have CHOSEN to abandon the futures of their children to moves and decisions made by these demonic politicians hell bent on destroying the Jewish State. Perhaps disbelief on the part of the public is what makes their moves so hard to comprehend....Israeli's get with the program: If it sounds like treachery and stupidity, creates outcomes that weaken Israel in negotiations, and perpetuates threats that were avoidable had action been taken, then maybe it's time to recognize the damage these monsters are causing and call it by it's name: Perfidy. Treachery. Vomit them out of power. I pray it isn't too late.
23. Olmert's parting gift to the ayatollahs
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (09.15.08)
When Ehud, Aliza & AWOL sons seek asylum in Paris they will be living large. Care to guess who's footing the bill?
24. Listen to the man so you can become an independant
Simon Mohammed ,   Falls Church, VA USA   (09.15.08)
souverain nation. But like it or no you have never been independant in the right sens of the word. Wars, killing, risk, you and the people you are fighting and with who you are not working toward a honorable solution that is realistic are the victim of probabely those who claim helping you. change the attitudes, the expectation and the unrealistic dream and become indepenandant an souverain. because the way to do it is to live with your neighboors like you did before even this state been established. He is right and for sure you will one day say if we listened to him. good luck
25. Israelis only want to hear that he has gone
redmike ,   Tel Aviv   (09.15.08)
and that he has gone to jail. We don't want to see his sneering face or be caused to think about his Quisling family either. I will buy a bottle of champagne on Wednesday even though I'm not enamored of either Livni or Mofaz. At least they don't have a yellow stripe down their backs and a sign that says 'open to bribes' on their foreheads. Mike
26. Price will rise? More envelopes please
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (09.15.08)
27. Never thought i would see the day i agree with Olmert
Jabadini ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.15.08)
While his actions are wrong his thinking is right. Israel is at a very dangerous time with its leaders being weak the whole system needing revamping from the courts, police and Government to the education, transportation ministries. At the same time Israel with its terrible advocacy has pushed the world to hate it and is losing allies on a yearly basis. With Syria back on the world stage, Hizballah in control of Lebanon, Hamas has Gaza, and the Muslim Brotherhood is strengthening thoughout the Middle East, Russia with a new cold war and Iran growing in power daily Israel is in danger especially with America showing it only helps those who win, if you lose the US will not help. Therefore we need a peace agreement made by a strong leadership who will protect our survival. First things first we need to find a leader in the Palestinians who does not want us all dead.
28. Lame Duck Price Talk
Brod ,   USA   (09.15.08)
Olmert's price talk is fallacious. Israel is not for sale to Islamist-Jihadists and AntiSemites. Lame Ducks should shut up as opening their defeatest mouths will only be emboldening Islamist-Jihadists to further advance their Jihadism on Israel.
29. Olmerts giving away everything,, how could the price go high
Michael   (09.15.08)
30. is Olmert hinting that No need to be that SOON?
