Olmert: Attack on Prof. Sternhell a threat to democracy     Roni Sofer
1. COMING FROM THE MAN
who at every turn has proven a total disregard for the law in all facets of his life , this is so hypocryt . Why does Ynet make the effort to quote this looser , is anyone still paying attention or is it because Ynet is at the same level of hypocracy when it comes to honesty and fairness ?
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (09.28.08)
2. What about all the terror attacks on Jews?
What about the rocket and mortar attacks in both the south and the north? They are not attacks on our democracy? Denying us general elections after the second leb. war is not an attack on democracy? Not having elections now after the kadima election is not an attack on democracy? Ethnically cleansing Jews from gaza is not an attack on democracy? Taking bribes to do favors for foreigners is not an attack on democracy? These politicians and the media cry more about an attack on sternhell who is not a friend of Israel and the Jews is amazing. What is wrong with our country when we sit back and let enemies like sternhell go around and spew hatred against their fellow citizens? And give him the Israel prize for this!

5. what about his call for attacks on settlers
what happened to this guy was wrong, but all these same left wing gov officials who say how terrible it is don't give a damn about sternhill's call for pals to attack settlers.

6. The Real Threat
"An evil streak of radicalism, malice, hatred and disregard of State law is threatening Israeli democracy," said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting Sunday. Of course, threatening state employees, police commanders, prosecutors, performing their mandated duties, to investigate a multiplicity of criminal offences, in the PMO's is not a threat to democracy?
J Hartman ,   Israel   (09.28.08)
7. What a farce!
This bomb was not placed by a rightist! A complete scam to fool the public! The leftists are copying the Palywood propaganda

9. How a Democracy Works
Dichter met with a group of party activists in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, and commented, "We have to ask pointed questions about the way the election was held in several of the polling stations... In not a few of them, people holding official positions in Kadima were walking around - not in order to help the voting, but in order to determine its results." "How shocking it was to see this beautiful democratic process of primaries turn into something very different," This is not a threat to democracy? How does a 1/4 % pick a prime minister?

10. Olmert was a 'threat of democracy' !
And he's still lurking in the wings. Is Olmert teaching Mugabe or vice versa? Mike

11. WHAT DEMOCRACY ?
The corrupt government of Israel calls itself a democracy when we all know how the Bolshivek's took care of the powerless,voiceless little ones of Amona. The corrupt criminal Olmert has much nerve to talk to anyone about anything. I guess that was Olmerts black boot democrats in action on horseback with truncheouns and sticks to crack the heads of those who did not bow their knee's to the dictators of the corrupt socialist oligarchy which masquerades as something it is not.

13. Is Kadima democracy or harlotry?
I wonder.

The 'Ali Baba" of Kadima should open his mouth to say only one thing: I AM GUILTY.

15. prof sternhell
In reporting about the latest updates on the bombing at Prof. Sternhell's home and his subsequent wounding, you failed to mention what was reported in Ma'ariv Hebrew news this morning, that a connection has been made between that incident, and the bombing which took place in my home in Ariel on March 20, 2008 and which critically injured my 15 year old son. He has spent the last 5 months in hospital and rehab, and is still recovering from serious wounds. There was a connection made also to 3 other incidents, and this can be read at: http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART1/793/316.html This morning my telephones were buzzing, people were wondering why these connections weren’t reported on in the y-net like ignoring the obvious.

16. Threat to democracy? BY WHOM?
Security forces admit there are no suspects yet. So olmert, who is destined to occupy his new residence at the prison system's new high rise prison, looks to divert attention from his malfeasance and that of his fellow 1%ers (kadima organized crime family)and attack some unseen threat.

17. threat to democracy
1. An unknown unseen group that no one has proven exists. PERHAPS the attack was STAGED by the leftists given that their support in ISrael has collapsed? 2. 1% of the population demanding that the 99% support their surrender policies by condemning police officers for speaking the truth. The threat is clearly identifiable! http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3603225,00.html
A threat to democrac ,   Arie   (09.28.08)
18. #15 - David, most people would have no idea who you are .
"The fliers appeared everywhere inside the Jewish settlement of Ariel, on car windshields and telephone poles, and in bus shelters. "Beware," it read, "these are the members of the Jewish Missionary Cult. They are baptizing Jews into Christianity." Included was a photo of Pastor David Ortiz and his address. Ortiz didn't give it a thought. His Jewish neighbors liked him, and so did Ariel's mayor, who found Ortiz, originally from Brooklyn, useful in recruiting funds and political support from American and German Evangelicals for this stone-clad settlement on a breezy hilltop inside Palestinian territory. -- David, it's a mistake to think that people knew or remember your plight.

19. Sternhell is a threat to Democracy
Any one who calls for the murder in cold blood of a segment of the Jewish population which was sent by the Laborite Gvt. to settle lands liberated in the 67 war is a threat to Democracy. He is calling for the cold blooded murder of Jews who are guilty of no more than following instructions of a legally elected Government. This man should be interrogated by the Shabak for incitement and rebellion against the orders of a government

20. democracy
The corrupt disgraced olmert still flapping his jaws with lies ,untruths and falsehoods.His corrupt government is a threat to democracy(If he knows what it means).The defenders (pioneers)of the land were not responsible for the bomb against a Israeli traitor(pity he was not killed).Go to elections and get rid of these criminals.

21. Canapes served by the waiter Olmert
After about 30 + years as a criminal investigator, I am still crippled by the need for evidence in any investigation. Has there been any movement to indicate that this is NOT an act by agents provocateur? The amorphis, chimera of a "Jewish Underground" is weilded by the smelling carcas of a failed and discredited kakistocrat, whose main talens appears to have been personal enrichment at the nation's expense and hostile and agressive acts against those same victims from whom he has stolen. Show me the money, cries a character in a film; show me the evidence. I had black hair and a trim waistline when the Gruenzweig event took place, horrendous thought it was. Older; much older now, I am reminded that there have been very few incidents of it's type committed by a shadowy Jewish Underground since. Champagne indeed.

23. violence
Violence is not permitted by anybody other than for the defence of the country through legally sanctionned bodies.On the other hand, violence done by olmert indirecty killing 200 israelis unnececessarily in lebanon war and his incredibly cowardly concessions offered to abbas for the jordan valley in return for settlements puts a knife at israel's throat.Olmert is the last family to offer such withdrawals for nothing as he has never fought for israel, nor his sons, nor will he ever fight. In fact one has avoided war. Olmert has offered these withdrawals as Hamas, hezbollah and Iran say they want to destroy israel, while syria plays games with iran and hezbollah and russia. Olmert finally, is the author of the gaza withdrawal which led to over a thousand rocket attacks. The sight of this chamberlain and israel defeatist sickens me. Left and right, it doesn't matter as long as it is done out of conviction. Olmert does this out of political dealing or satisfying his wife to hold his marriage together. Olmert needs to go away right now as he is a caretaker only and should desist. Anyways, watch how his legal buddies including sternhall try to keep this crook and liar out of jail.

24. Concerning the attack on Prof. Sternhell.
There is no excuse for anyone to take the law in their own hands. But concerning the attack on Prof. Sternhell, it may be appropriate to place this principle in its proper context: If an Israeli professor were to pen an article in which he called for Jews to conduct terror acts against the Arab population, he would be indicted by the law enforcement system of the state of Israel which forbids sedition, incitement and racism. However, Sternhell wrote an article in Haaretz on May 11th, 2002, in which he called for Palestinians to carry out terror actions beyond the green line, which constitutes a clear case of incitement to murder. Hundreds of citizens complaints were filed against Sternhell, yet the Israeli law enforcement system would not investigate or indict him for incitement. Consult : http://xrl.us/bi5da

25. Olmert?
What a joke, Olmert should talk. Of course no one talks about how important truth is to democracy meaning how Peace Now/B'Tselem continuously spread their brand of facts which ARE NOT FACTUAL. Which always has a bend to their agenda. Heaven forbid, hah? No one dare speak of what drove the right to do what they did (and no I am not excusing it!!!) yet the far left always mountainous excuses as to why the Palestinians do what they do!! You have all heart it, right? So Olmert says: "An evil streak of radicalism, malice, hatred and disregard of State law is threatening Israeli democracy." However... have you ever heard Olmert state those idential words in relation to the threat of Palestinian radicilsm, malice and hatred in regard to the Jewish state? His Jewish state? Have you once heard him ask how he can negotiate with Abbas knowing what Abbas really stands for. (yes, if anyone doubts it read the Fatah Charter.) Check out www.zoa.org by going through their archives and see exactly for yourselves how Olmert has falsely praised and uplifted those who everyday have virulent hate for Israel. For a half hour of your time you will see exactly my point. When it comes to ripping apart ones own, the bleeding heart left is right there on the spot yet when it comes to actually speaking the WHOLE TRUTH when it comes to our arch enemies, there is silence. I am so revolted by how this story is covered with no one questioning the core reasons for this pipe bomb episode I could vomit. ........but oh, the poooooor peaceful Palestinians and their daily humiliation by the evil Zionist Israel is excused with one immoral equation after another.

26. Democrocy
The whole election was a farce. What about condemning attacks on Jews and on Jewish religious places. What about condemnation of leftist groups getting money from foreign governments. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com

29. 15#, David Ortiz, two comments for you
First of all it is horrific what was done to your son. I hope that he recovers as quickly as possible. Secondly, I have no problem with Jews beieving in Buddism or Christianity and living in Israel. i do have a BIG problem with Messianic "Jews" trying to convert Jews. Why do you need to push your religious beliefs on others especially the vulnerable such as new immigrants from Russia and Ethopia? My young daughter was playing at a playground in the Golan two weeks ago when a middle age Hebrew speaking man handed the children a pamphlet about Jesus. I did not make aliya from Canada to the worlds' only Jewish country to have people such as yourself trying to convert me. David, you are very harful to the Jewish state!
