31. Olmert's right
imafreeagent ,   Florida   (11.29.12)
If this serves to strengthen the Fatah party and sidelines Hamas, then why would anyone here object?
32. Logic by Olmert. I am missing something.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (11.29.12)
Israel has peaceful relations with the one arab terrorist state in Gaza. Olmert never satisfied wants more peaceful relations with the second arab terrorist state in Judea and Samaria. Iran is bordering Israel in Gaza. Now he wants to bring Iran closer by having Iran bordering Israel in Judea and Samaria. Olmert logic.!
33. Re Why can't this renegade be quarantined
Michael Cohen ,   London England   (11.29.12)
Because last time i looked Israel was a democracy. In other words people (even EX P.M's) are entitled to there views. We don't live Iran
34. Remove the occupier.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (11.29.12)
Sigal is right. Israel has absolutely no right to occupy Ramat Hasharon. Israel get out of Ramat Hasharon and remove the settler, Sigal.
35. 67 border / 2 state solution...
shlomo ,   brazil   (11.29.12)
will be the end for Israel state.
36. Jews, why do you send him to looby fo PA state?
(11.29.12)
He was doing this for the last 4 months in several contries, including US, lecturing. I guess he wanted to go in front of Livny.
37. Olmert to Prison IMMEDIATELY!
Jew ,   Galus, TX   (11.29.12)
38. It is shame for Israel he is not in prison for his $$ crimes

Markos Kidane ,   Prague   (11.29.12)
That is very easy for you to say as your comments are far detached from the reality on the ground in the Middle East...Would you support a terrorist entity right next door? Why don't you live in Sderot, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Beersheva and any city within a 40 km radius from your buddies whom you sympathize with and see what's up.
40. he offered to give up the kotel so this should be no surpris
zionist forever   (11.29.12)
When he was holding peace talks as PM he made an offer not even the Yossi Belin or Arafat could have ever dreamed of. The Church of the Sepilca, Temple Mount, City of David and the Kotel would all be under the sovereignty of an international trust ( not Israel ) Israel, America, Palstinian state, Jordan and Saudi Arabia possibly to also include Egypt & Vatican which is what Abbas wanted. Large parts of Jerusalem including some Jewish neighbourhoods. The Jordan Valley which would put Ben Gurion Airport in range of short range rockets. 5000 - 15,000 arabs would be given right of return and compensation would be paid. Other than the arab parties no Israeli political party ( Meretz included ) is in favour of this UN bird but Olmert wants us to support it. Why is it he is still so popular when he was considered the worst PM ever when he was in office, the man is even having a say in choosing the Kadima party list even though he is no longer leader. The palestinians should elect him as their next president when Abbas does stand down.
41. Olmert, a serious man
Beauchard ,   Amsterdam   (11.29.12)
I agree with Olmert. Of course the religious and ideological zealots on both sides do not. Their idea of peace is the peace of a large cemetery for the other side.
42. #33 Your knowledge is too superficial
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (11.29.12)
Democracy does not mean free for all, when people have been priviledged to information be virtue of high office. You also, dare I say, do not know Israel
43. There is no doubt in my mind
bari ,   nyc usa   (11.29.12)
about the inbred psychosis of a large percentage of the jewish people. people talk about the arabs love of death. look at the cretins like olmert and meretz and tell me who has the stronger death wish.
44. this is rediculous
Oleg ,   USA   (11.29.12)
You, guys in Israel, still do not get, that because of your beloved Barak and sweet Olmert, you have an enemy on your shoulder? I mean Hebzdulla in Lebanon. And the whole world thinks, that Jewish are smart. Inconceivable!!!!
45. Olmert - don't try to run again
Ray   (11.29.12)
Now I understand that you messed up the Lebanon campaign on purpose Olmert. You're more a traitor than a fool.
46. #35. shlomo: You're correct
Tom W ,   USA   (11.29.12)
The goal is the establishment of a second Gaza in E. Jerusalem. Imagine that. Daily terror attack by "renegade, splinter group" (!!). Egypt is turning into a radical Islamic state in front of people's eyes, yet these dreamers see nothing. They ignore the radical Islamic movements because it doesn't fit into their Utopian leftist view. It was Napoleon who emancipated the French Jews with this caveat, which correctly describes the European's attitude today: Napoleon: “’As a nation the Jews must be denied everything, as individuals they must be granted everything".
47. Whose side is Olmert on?
Brod ,   USA   (11.29.12)
Instead of defending the Land of Israel-Israel's Liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland that is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Children of Israel, Olmert is siding with the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers. The folly of Leftism is a threat to Israel. Those who do not know the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are Pagans. They share the same Luciferian god as the Hitlerites do.
48. #15 BRAD - You're delusional
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.29.12)
Pre-'67 borders are the old Greenline, agreed to at Rhodes in 1949, which the Arabs have ignored in each war that they waged against us, including 1956, 1967, 1973 Accept the fact that Arabs won't accept Israel no matter what the lines are
49. 17 sam colorado
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.29.12)
Feel free to lecture us, AFTER the USA has returned the lands that it had taken by force from the Native American Indians & Mexico There are already two Arab State, the second being Jordan, an artificil entity created by England as payoff, for servies rendered by Emir Abudllah oi Syria of all places How about your explaining why not a single mention of Palestine is in the Quran ??
50. #49.Ben: How 'bout Hawaii?
Tom W ,   USA   (11.29.12)
The USA simply gobbled up and forcefully occupied the independent kingdom of Hawaii and made a "State" out of it. When you hear the famous Hawaiian song, "Aloha Oe" remember its composer, late Hawaiian Queen, Liliuokalani whom the "benevolent" U.S. dethroned and imprisoned. Interesting that the Hawaiian aggression slipped out of memory while the Mexican affair is not.
51. Those who support Palestine support destruction of israel
yoni the Jew ,   Jewish homeland   (11.29.12)
There is no doubt that those who support "Palestine" are supporting the annihilation of the entire state of Israel. The Palestinian state includes the entire country and you just need to look at their map flaps and symbols including their textbooks to see it. Olmert ? who cares about him?
52. Olmert
abe4u ,   Israel   (11.29.12)
Hopefully this looser will stay abroad. On the other hand maybe he will try and squeeze himself into our political agenda, giving us the opportunity to NOT vote for him or his offsider Livni, so that they will disappear. Hopefully not wishful thinking.
53. A Yellow Shirt
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa   (11.29.12)
How fitting Ehud Olmert's Yellow Shirt Biblical
54. About That Two State Solution . . .
emanon ,   USA   (11.29.12)
In order for a two state solution t work, *BOTH* sides need to agree with the principle. The arabs want one state *ALL THEIRS* and that's why the world can't have another arab state in the Middle East. Such as state would not diminish Israel, but seek to *ELIMINATE* Israel!
55. #50 Tom How about Iraq & Iran?
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.29.12)
I could name a host of countries, that are more distant from the USA than Hawaii
56. @ Ben Jabo # 48: that is completely untrue.
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (11.29.12)
The Arabs in their 2002 Arab league meeting in Beirut, embraced Saoudi Arabia peace offering to Israel, whereby all Arab nations will sign peace treaty with Israel, and have complete normalization of relationship with Israel,If Israel agrees to 2 state solution with 1967 borders for Palestine, return Golan heights to Syria, as well as some remaining lands to Lebanon. They left some details to be discussed bilaterally with each concerned party. Israel never even considered that offer, never even accepted to sit down to discuss it further.
57. Better an honest enemy,than ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.29.12)
a false friend.
58. To No. 20
Bertram ,   London, UK   (11.29.12)
Menachem Begin, as head of Irgun, mastermined the 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel killing Jews, Britons and Arabs. Just saying ..... but let's not continue down that route. Times change, the terrorist of yesterday becomes the statesman of today, time for politics not war.
59. #58. Bertram: Shilling for Sir John Glubb?
Tom W ,   USA   (11.29.12)
Driven by your typical British Jew-hatred you conveniently forget that after "THAT" country, next was Britain which declared war on the Jews by putting the Holocaust survivors into concentration camps in Cyprus. Yes or No? Next, UK unleashed the Arab Legion to finish off the Jews: Sir John Glubb pasha, does he ring a bell? Go and paddle your Arabist wares on the Aljaseera, we Jews are perfectly aware of the UK treatment of Jews. In the light of British military moves against the Jews, the K. David bombing was the correct move. Do you still expect us to roll over and play dead? Why?
60. olmert get off stage. you are stupid and wrong.
