ol'mert, good ridance to you, one who soon will be exposed as the crook you truly are and also cowardly for not finishing what you and lil bush set out to do!

Olmert had vision for peace, what does Netanyahu and Lieberman have? vision for war??? unfortunately, Israelis can be so stupid as to let someone like him go, they did the same for Peres in 1996; give people like Olmert a chance if u want to give peae a chance.

Why am I not surprised.

The corrupt olmert known as the worst prime minister ever in Israel has had is gone CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE Now olmert has time to spend in jail happy holidays. Good riddance of this rotten rubbish

because they were after an unrealistic Peace. They were trying to apply Land for Peace concept and thanks to them we know now that it does not work with bloody greedy Arbs, and in the process they put Israel in grave existential dangers causing some 2000 Jews to lose their lives. Hopefully now Israel will change course and try the novel idea of Peace for Peace, and if Arbs don't like identical reciprocity in Peace then we may have to, YES, go to war again against them, only that this time we will regain deterrence and strategic assets. Not bad at all. How do you like that?

Lets Bring in Shaul Mofaz! Hes Better than Tzipi Livni! Besides Livni a Thief too!

Here is my Peace proposal for you and all leftist Jews who are just like you in every DNA molecule. You sign a contract agreeing to never come back to Greater Israel and you live in either Gaza or the West Bank. You are to live in the middle region sandwiched between Muslims at the border and with Jordan or Sinai. I am sure the muslims will treat you very just and humanely. Israel would "kill two birds with one stone". Actually with you and your ilk out of Israel maybe just maybe the Messiah shall come and G-d shall no longer be disgusted with the covenant he made with his people.

Kadima throws a lavish farewell for ehud. We'll get to his record later. Lieberman reflected the frustration of israelis in his opening speech where he spoke the truth. Olmert never once defended the right of israelis to the land, never stressed the honor of one captive, and offered so many concessions for nothing and begged the PLO to sign in return. He even boasted that he offered more than barak. He never asked the arabs to do something tangible, he never forced them to recognize the jewish state. He screwed up the wars. He grovelled before bush , putin and the EU and especially Turkey's erdogan. He appeared weak and intimidated.Nasrollah, hamas and assad said he was too weak. So. Lieberman let go with a direct speech reflecting the frustration of israelis; that for 3 years ehud would not leave even after winograd implied that he should resign, that he was a failure. Mazzuz took forever but still ehud would not leave. Livni told him to go and ehud brushed her aside like she was nothing(which says something about her lack of strength for the top job).Yes, Lieberman does have to recognize that the druze are valuable israelis and that many of the arabs are valuable citizens of israel with a rich culture. There are a smaller percentage of arabs whose voices are heard as citizens but yelling death to israel while israel is fighting a war is hard to take. And some arabs need to be jailed or exiled like bishara, and now Tibi. A new look at traitor designation needs to be reviewed because some of the arabs are skirting that line. So Liebermans' oathis one way to ferret them out but it is not a good idea. But Lieberman told the truth and the whole truth and no one should cry regardless if the US protests. Israelis are the ones who will have to live with the consequences of olmert's politics. Annapolis and even the roadmap are a joke and will strangle israel unless there is a dramatic change in arab perception/education of israelis and their rights. On the other hand, the arabs need some kind of state and perhaps land purchase and swaps from jordan and saudi arabia are the answers. Back to Olmert's farewell. Ehud is the worst israeli PM, the weakest and the worst negotiater. He harmed Bibi by attaching his expectations to bibi. That kadima would hail ehud shows how bankrupt and rotten they are.Livni can be a staff lawyer, that's about it.She cannot go into any matter in depth because she is limited in her intelligence. That she sat there with the criminal ramon and took orders from a clearly criminal in deed olmert shows what a wimp she was. Mr. & Mrs Wimp is an apt description of olmert and livni who will go down in history as the most cowardly israelis ever.

Livni has a cute way of smiling at you as she spits in your face, and still says nothing of import.

Hope the heck you don't come back. We hate to see you go.

who needs a certified crook as PM again. the man is so polished along with his entire family that it is disgusting. he also has a network around the world that "works" for him. he needs to stay away from any public office he needs to stay away from any office that deals with $$$$$$$.. One dollar to the country , 1000 in his pocket or in his wife's pocket. they work as a great team. aliza does not color her hair - nothing to do that she wants to be be white but she wants to portray a simple woman. SHE IS FAR FROM SIMPLE and extrememly SHREWD. I have seen in action - especailly when she is selling her works of "ART". (scul[pures and photography) They are a dangerous couple. Doubtful that the children are any better I do not trust anyone anymore.

Or will they make believe they never knew him? Or perhaps some of the Kadima members will join him there?

Olmert likes living in state owned buildings. He has left one of those buildings and with any luck will be soon moving to another one but this one will have bars on the windows. He can promise the terrorists in prison with him how he will get them an unconditional release as a goodwill gesture and what a great PM he has been.

get yourself a hobby instead.

As a member of Kadima I was invited to this farce--SORRY party. Olmert is leaving in disgrace and honoring him is stupid and shows the moral lapse of the party and Olmert's lack of willingness to acknowledge that two failed wars and his hands in the till are the reasons he is out. Tzipi is an idiot and crybaby. All that she complained about in the Knesset this week would have been different if she had joined the coalition. She had a golden opportunity to put together a coalition without an election and failed. The only reason I will not resign is to wait for the election of a new party chairman--voting against her will be easy--no one could be worse.
