1. "Violating the Truce" Look no further
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (11.16.08)
It never ceases to amaze me the logic employed by Israel and its apologists. Anyone who follows Israeli/Palestinian interactions will have worked out that 90% of the time its Israel that first violates any truce. Spare us the propaganda afterwards.
2. HAMAS THANKS OLMERT FOR HIS PART IN THEIR VICTORY
(11.16.08)
3. big shot who caused this.
ohad   (11.16.08)
Big shot Olmert & the whole Kaima gang who supported the Gaza Disengagement. Anybody who votes fpr Kadima or Labor & any other Oslo supporting party is asking for more terror & you know, if this is what we bring to lead us, then good for the Arabs & Hamas, they will defeat us but good.
4. What a bunch of liars our politicians are.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.16.08)
They mislead, misrepresent, make excuses & rationalizations, make statements & do the opposite. All smoke & mirrors, deception & deceit. The right description is slippery & slimy, dishonest scumbags with no shame, no honour, no principles. An unscrupulous collection of worthless, incompetent, self-interested political hacks. They know very well that they will do absolutely nothing meaningful in defense of this country. Hamas knows it as well. They can shoot missiles at us whenever they want, at no cost to themselves, with no fear of reprisal, no real consequences. This country has lost all power of deterrence, has lost the ability to act. The sad reality is that we only have the illusion of gov't. -
5. Olmert, If you had done the right thing in the 1st place
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (11.16.08)
We wouldn't be having the problems we are having now. Shalit would still be a happy serving soldier, I would sleep at night not waiting for an alarm to go off like thousands of others in the south. Instead you only come out being a brave man because there is an election coming up. - Or before your locked up for other devious things. If you thought of your country and not your pockets and holidays perhaps we would believe your bravery this time. Is there not one TRUE ISRAELI in this government that puts their COUNTRY FIRST. (silence in the background???)
6. To #1 - Peter of NZ
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (11.16.08)
Your welcome to come for a visit in the south of Israel and see for yourself who starts. Your Media - like the rest of the world - stay shtum when the Pals. constantly try to kidnap soldiers, stab, and blow up civilians and send Grads and Kassams into our country. Yet when we retaliate, you believe them when they say we started it! You are so nieve.
7. olmert is israel's robert mugabe
(11.16.08)
8. Olmert and price tag
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.16.08)
Olmert says he shall not tolerate the price tag Hamas is setting. The price tag is apparently Kadima's potential election failure which will lead to the losses of Volvos, pensions and other perks. Olmert also says "we do not fear battle" which is true. With his children living in foreign countries, no one he cares about will be in danger.
9. At least #1 DOES BLAME the Pals for 10% of attacks-Thanks P
Alan ,   SA   (11.16.08)
10. Ummm...Errrrr...Who's in charge these days?
dr. dave ,   usa   (11.16.08)
Livni declared last week she's not bound by any Olmert proclamations.
11. Maybe Duct tape???
Gideon Reader   (11.16.08)
Is there not some form of political Immodium; possibly some public official Keopectate, to prevent such "running off" of the mouth? Cannot the High Court(presuming that they are not high) issue an order to shut this clown up? Each day he (Olmert the Reviled)damages the country with his idiotic verbal evacuations.
12. neither Hamas or Israelis are fooled by empty threats anymor
zionist forever   (11.16.08)
Why not just say from the start we will accept ANY terrorist demands no matter how high because Kadima has an election to loose to Likud if there is not a calm during the election campaign. Livni & Barak are campaigning on giving away territory and further compromising security Natanyahu is trusted more on security and his promised to the arabs are not as generous. If there is violence the people are more likley to vote for Natanyahu. Also Olmert is desperate to make some last minute concesions so he can go into the history books and it will look good in his autobiography and on the anti Israel lecture circuit which will make him very rich and not a brown envelope in sight. Olmert should be facing treason charges not financial coruption. Dont worry Hamas you can even demand the IDF be disbanded and you be put in charge of `israels security if you like and after the empty threats have been made Olmert will accept.
