1. We won't accept settlers' anarchy
Voice of Reason ,   Here & Now   (11.02.08)
Is the PM talking about sttlers or the terrorists? The Palestinians can get away with anything and get released but not so Israelis who have a legitimate right to protest. Hope the judicial system is as strict with Mr. Olmert also.
2. Talk,talk and more talk thats all this
Eric... ,   Israel...   (11.02.08)
prime minister does.Go out there and do something .There is no law in the west bank ,these settlers run riot and do what ever they like.Put these lunatics in jail.
3. Olmert has a weird sense of the law
JPS ,   Efrat   (11.02.08)
For a certified lawyer, Olmert certainly shows that he doesn't respect the law. Aside from being under investigation for corruption, Olmert ignores the fact that somebody in the government ordered the army to toss a guy and his family with young kids out of their beds at 2am, then ordered the home bulldozed. As a result, supporters of Federman did indeed get out of control and should be charged and tried accordingly. So should the people who ordered the house demolition and carried it out. Excuse me, Mr. lawyer, but isn't there supposed to be due process going on here?
4. Reap what you sow
thelonecabbage ,   Modiin Israel   (11.02.08)
Olmert turns the soldiers on settlers, and does everything in his power to deny them a political voice. Now he's surprised that they are violently defending themselves... If the settlers are treated as the enemy, how do you think they are going to react? If the gov't doesn't protect them, do you think they won't try to protect themselves? Even if you favor moving the settlers and seceding Judea & Samaria to the PA & Hamas. Making an enemy of citizens like this, is the wrong way to go about it.
5. It's Hamas stupid!
Moshe   (11.02.08)
6. Olmert, Setllers are doing what you should be doing
Moshe   (11.02.08)
7. Israeli LEFT likes to enforce the "law" SELECTIVELY
Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (11.02.08)
what about illegal bedouin settlements ALL OVER the negev?? what about illegal Arab building in Jerusalem? what about Israel treason laws against handing over territory?? (well, the LEFT says, there is no 'public interest' in enforcing that "dinosaur') All of Oslo was born "against the law" - it resulted from negotiations with the PLO by the LEFT in 1991-1992 when it was ILLEGAL to meet with the PLO. the LEFT has NO RIGHT to lecture others about "following the law."
8. Right wing doesn't fight fair
Ron Morris   (11.02.08)
It's happened before. Every time we go into an election that the right wing fanatics have no chance of winning, they turn to violence. But the shin bet is on top of it this time. The right wing are a bunch of idiots to be so obvious btu that is a good thing. It makes the shin bet's job that much easier. The Israeli voters are smart enough to see through this and say "enough to the right wing pre-election violence." We will not be bullied.
9. I'd be more afraid of the shabbak agents
Patriot ,   Israel   (11.02.08)
Uh Oh - If I were Barak, Livni, or Bibi I'd make sure that the Shabak agent guarding me had no special connections to Shimon Peres, and not to accept any recent substitutions of body guards from a political rival.
10. Translation
Moish ,   Jerusalem   (11.02.08)
of this is: The left has ordered the Shabak to have their provacatuers incite, set up and enable some nut case like Amir to assassinate an expendable politician , blame it on the right, to gain sympathy for the left in the elections! Don't foret that Tzippileh was a shabknik and probably is owed a few favors.
11. Thought police and "because I fear"..
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (11.02.08)
B"H Thought police and "because I fear".. Stalinists in the government want their political adverseries behind bars: "We must locate, register and arrest the radical elements, search for weapons in their homes and property, because I [left wing extremist Yuli Tamir] fear they may be in possession of arms and may use them to carry out the next murder, and third, change the legislation on incitement."
12. No one likes violence.
Steve ,   US   (11.02.08)
Mr. Diskin warns, violence will be used (by the 'settlers") to 'halt political proceedings." Thousands of wonderful, peace-loving Jews were forcibly expelled from their homes, from Gush Katif, Gaza. Now there is a Muslim-terror 'state' in Gaza. Let us be clear. These are the "political proceedings" Mr. Diskin in referring to. Furthermore, "political proceedings" will forcibly expel thousands more Jews from Judea and Samaria in order to establish a Muslim-terror state dedicated to Israel's destruction. In Mr. Diskin's, Foreign Minister Livni's and the government's view, this is not violent. It is "political proceedings."
13. ANOTHER LEFT WING MEDIA BASHING
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (11.02.08)
TO LAUD AN ALCOHOLIC TRAITOR IN COMEMORATION OF HIS PHISIOLOGICAL EXPIRATION ! This is plain and simple a witch hunt in the only preparation that Israelis are known for, politcal demonization in anticipation of repressive crackdowns on citizens; AKA ELECTIONS, rather than fight Israel's enemies BECAUSE: We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being Courageous, we are tired of defeating our enemies, We want to be able to live in an entirely different Environment of relations with our enemies." Ehud Olmert June 2005 address to the Israel Policy Forum in New York WHY FIGHT ENEMIES WHEN WE CAN TREACHEROUSLY DEMONIZE THE CITIZENRY ?
14. False prophets.
Steve ,   US.   (11.02.08)
Cabinet Secretary Oved Yehezkel told Ynet on Sunday.... "(The "settler's) use of the Jewish religion is a public defamation of God. They are nothing more than false prophets of the worst kind, which have badly hurt Israel in the past." This is an interesting statement in light of the fact, the false prophets of the past said things like: "Misfortune will not come on us; and we will not see sword or famine...you will have peace" and "calamity will not come upon you"....."peace, peace..." etc. Yet the prophet Jeremiah wrote: But there is no peace." Sound familiar? The true prophet wrote: "And the prophets are as wind, and the word is not in them." Who are the false prophet then today?
15. MOre leftist manipulation of the media
Shmendrik ,   Israel   (11.02.08)
Olmert, you are so transparent. Every time you want to divert attention for your treasonous plans of giving away West Bank land to our enemies, you get the media to bring up stories of violent settlers as a justification. Too many times you have done this! The only person that should be charged is the one that ordered a family to be kicked out and have their house destroyed at 2 am! Was that you? Absolutely disgusting, but typical leftist behavior!
16. WHO GAVE BIRTH TO " the extreme right-wing " ?
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (11.02.08)
17. THE KOSHER WAR & the extreme right-wing !
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (11.02.08)
18. Here we go again!!!!
Asher ( truth hurts) ,   Jerusalem   (11.02.08)
The Left is starting up again. They must feel threatened, so here comes the lies & trumped up stories. We are now living with a Transitional government. What threats??? They do not have the power to do anything, SO WHAT IS ALL THE NOISE????
19. you are tired of extreme right-wing, WE ARE TIRED OF YOU ALL
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (11.02.08)
20. barak : 'A THREAT TO THE DEEP STATE'
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (11.02.08)
21. ZEEVI'S KILLERS AIM FOR LIBERMAN,
Norway   (11.02.08)
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) Arab terrorist group, which assassinated Rechavam Ze'evi (Gandhi) Ze'evi, has threatened to kill Knesset Member Avigdor Lieberman. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127960
22. Perhaps Olmert should go under ground for the next 3 months
like nasrallah.   (11.02.08)
23. It's not nice to give our land away. It really PISSES us off
Come to your senses ,   man!   (11.02.08)
24. mazzuzz
alexi   (11.02.08)
Mazzuzz needs to step down as he simply has insufficent courtroom experience to take decisions in a timely and strong fashion. he takes endless time instead of indictinng olmert, he is fearful of removing olmert from his office. I mean Mazzuzz is smart, has his law degree, but is simply not qualified to be attorney general, just as Friedman is unqualified. Seasoned courtroom lawyers are what's required along with impeccable honesty and courage. Mazzuzz has neither.
25. USE YOUR EYES NOT EARS....
Joel ,   Canada   (11.02.08)
The only reason why Diskin and all the other band wagon jumpers are opening their traps is, because they want to be able to excuse themselves by saying " I told you so" if something happened. If you torment a people long enough out of a few million there will be a few that will retaliate but murder again...naw we as a people are from it. I don't fear the settlers i fear the Arabs.
26. reason 1,000,001 to drop israel as allie
