1. IrĂ£n did pay for you to talk this ?
Rosenvald ,   Brasil   (12.01.13)
METUMTAM. OLMERT SIMPSON.
2. My my. What a pretty fountain pen...
Gideon Reader   (12.01.13)
...you have. Would you like to tell us where you acquired it? Oh. When you moved in the Rachov Cremieux squat there it was. We are ALL so glad you are back and giving us the benefit of your wisdom.
3. We choose PUTIN!
David ,   Hartford USA   (12.01.13)
Putin has to deal with Russia's Muslim fanatics and he knows what they can do first hand. You don't see him pandering to Muslims. Obama is still kissing up to the Muslim world and thinks being bed-partners with iran is a step forward. In every case, Obama facilitated hard-line islamopths. In every case, the outcome was bad for the people of those countries. Putin is the leader of the free world. Yes, it sounds like an oxymoron, but it's true. The American Congress should be ashamed of what they have let the president do to America's influence.
4. Obama the Muslim and his Leftist stooge Olmert declared war

6. Olmert the official spokeperson of HUSSEIN Obama
Frederic   (12.01.13)
7. If Olmert needs a savior,he needs conversion to christionity
Moshe ,   Usa   (12.01.13)
or a new girlfriend, or a new pen, or a new brain. I'm sorry I'm so confused; but select your choice from the above or take your own answer if it suits you more.
8. Isn't he in jail?
Carl   (12.01.13)
9. Response to (and explanation of) Olmerde
FG   (12.01.13)
Olmert is understandably disappointed, depressed, angry and bitter at having lost his job as PM, having been convicted of the crime of "breach of trust", having been rightfully shamed and having become an object of ridicule and derision. Olmert is being irresponsible and attempting to undermine the PM and the government of Israel, damage Israeli-American relations, impede Israel's ability to deter, reduce or stop military nuclear activity by Iran, and besmirch the good name of Israel. What Olmert said is not the product of a rational, measured, balanced, stable or sane mind. And his statements lately have been at variance with his own actions as PM when he, it is alleged, ordered the bombing of Syria's nuclear reactor to protect the security of Israel, over the objections of President Bush. Olmert should voluntarily submit himself to a hospital for a full check-up to see if there are underlying physiological or psychological causes of his abnormal behavior that can be treated. It is sad to see a former PM damage himself this way.
10. Olmert is very wrong and his question is flawed.
leo ,   usa   (12.01.13)
Neither Obama nor Putin - Israel itself and for the moment Israel is represented by Natanyahu, not Olmert.
11. Speek fast jail gates are closing soon
JJJ   (12.01.13)
12. Barack Hussein Obama
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (12.01.13)
He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.
13. Olmert is Israel's version of Jimmy Carter
Robert ,   USA   (12.01.13)
14. Like with healthcare Obama lies, cheats and deceives.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.01.13)
15. Even for a politician, he's extraordinary shameless!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.01.13)
16. Shall we only "argue, in closed door decisions"?
Steve Klein   (12.01.13)
Closed door deliberations are fine but what happens when your erstwhile strategic ally does something incredibly foolish, notwithstanding Israel's closed door pleadings; notwithstanding prior assurances by this administration? Would Mr. Olmert maintain a respectful silence under such circumstances? "Most American Jews were inclined to go along with the idea of keeping a low profile," with respect to Germany during the nineteen thirties. Of what benefit is silence in the face of a monstrous wrong?
17. One day Olmert can ask forgiveness for slandering his PM
Adi ,   Zurich   (12.01.13)
One day Olmert can ask forgiveness for slandering his PM
18. LOOSER! THEIF! Get the F$#& outta here!
lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (12.01.13)
19. #13 don't insult Carter
(12.01.13)
Carter may have been a failure and a fool, but he also studied nuclear engineering and was a naval officer. Olmert is almost the same, but he did not study engineering and was not a naval officer.
20. Olmert - no thanks
Madeleine ,   Israel   (12.01.13)
Olmert should just shut up.
21. This is Jewish ghetto thinking
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (12.01.13)
During the shoah, the Jews waited in the ghettos for their savior, the Russians or the Americans. Only the Jewish underground took control of their destiny. Olmerts mind is still in the ghetto. It is up to Israel alone to save itself. Obama never had any intentions of attacking. If Israel really needs help in a war against Iran, the US will be there. Congress will demand it.
22. what does olmert know about making war
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (12.01.13)
we saw what happened when he was prime minister and how he bungled the 2nd lebanon war. he is obviously jealous of Bibi for speaking the truth against the commander in thief of my country(I didn't vote for him)
23. The Jews need Arm to Maximum Capacity.
Zechariah   (12.01.13)
The Jews ought build the capacity for the total Sampson option without any Jews being killed the total destruction of anyone who attacks us through nuclear or convential attack and maintain the preemptive option.The USA never supported us in the 1948 war the Six Day War though they gave supplies in the Yom Kippur War .Nuclear exchanges for now are out but as pressures grow The Jews ought prepare to stand alone and stockpile for Survivalism and second strike and preemptive capacity .
24. #17 Adi
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.01.13)
That will only happen when they are sharing a jail cell together for crimes committed by both of them against Israel
25. partner for peace
heskel   (12.01.13)
of course most know that olmert is a security ignoramus along with his twin livni and now herzog whose father must be rolling over in his grave. Holocaust families sadly spoiled their offspring which was understandible but gives rise to delusional idealists. recall olmert trusted erdogan and wanted to give the golan to syria. Is this a dumb shmuck or what??!! Now yitzak herzog, another lawyer in the mold of pacifists olmert, livni, and merridor, meets with abbas and says we have a partner for peace negating all the incitement and lack of concessions that he offers. So herzog joiins the olmert brigade as another dumb shmuck. if these 4 were the leaders in 48, there would be no state now. Israel has to be aware of the significant number of weak deluded peaceniks in its ranks as they are harming the state by displaying weakness and israelis are dying because of them.
26. Olmert, creator of Hamasstan, understands appeasement
Seth Greenberg ,   Raanana   (12.01.13)
Olmert, the person responsible for forcibly removing 10,000 Jews from their homes in Gaza and replacing them with Hamas, Sharia and a shower of missiles on Israeli civilians is the one person who should understand what happens when you extend a hand to an unrepentant enemy. As the most prominent failure to have ever taken the Prime Minister's chair, why does anyone even care what he has to say? Can't we just let the courts deal with his bribery, embezzlement and fraud charges and call it a day for this clown? Our enemies are moving the pieces around on the board to position Israel as a weak player, ready to strike when our guard is down. If Netanyahu stands up for what is right, even if it is contrary to Obama's point of view, we keep our strategic edge. When we give in and make it clear that we are no longer willing to act in our own defense, the sharks will circle. At that point, with a nuclear Iran, it will be too late for Olmert to realize he was wrong.
27. Economy Finance tip idea
Joya Gedalov   (12.01.13)
If anyone of you is a journalist playing with the idea to became israel parliament member, suggest a law to avoid giving money from the State treasury to every ex prime minister who is not actually the Israel PM..
28. Has Olmert no shame?
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.01.13)
Olmert goes around the world defaming the Prime Minister. He should be ashamed of himself.
29. Olmert would love to get back in the driver's seat!
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (12.01.13)
Olmert would love to be back in the driver's seat again but knows that his first task is to undermine Bibi. His criticisms are simple transparent politicking. Bibi is not grovelling to the US or to the PA but Olmert would be on his knees to both.
30. Iran says"Waging war on Allah.Olmert says "Waging war on USA
Alan ,   SA   (12.01.13)
Iran and Olmerd both talk BS
