2. #1 Please speak for yourself. He was not voted into office,
Jordan Is ,   Eastern Palestine   (03.27.14)
he slithered in as a phony pretending to run on Likud principles. He came in bc Sharon was in a coma. The vast majority thought and think he is a crook and a liar. More than anything he has little that says integrity about him. Even more so than most politicians. He wasnt a commando, he never sacrificed much, I feel like to be PM you need to have self sacrifice. To me, Olmert sacrificed -or was willing to sacrifice- everybody elese. As we will soon see in court, hopefully justice wont be intimidated.
3. stop it already!
frank ,   rehovot   (03.27.14)
olmert is a pig and probably guilty of this and lots more, but, the courts are never going to convict him! Shula should be in jail for lying under oath regardless of whatever testimony she gives. Our courts are a joke and not a funny one, we are corrupt at worst, incompetent at best so let's save the money and forget the whole thing. Shula goes to jail and olmert goes back to knesset because that is where all of the real criminals end up...

Bob ,   rehovot   (03.27.14)
even if they have pictures, lie!!!
7. String hi. Up
Abe .Benjami ,   MigdalHaEmek Israel   (03.27.14)
Olmert needs to be strung up, and flogged. This is the guy that brought shame into the house of Israel !!! Plus he looks so very complacent. String the clown up !!!
8. It takes a liar to know one. Cigar up yours

9. #2 did you read all my text??
Italian for Israel ,   Italy   (03.27.14)
I was ironic...
10. I hope she spills all the beans ..
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (03.27.14)
I hope she spills all the beans and that Israel will be free of the Olmerts forever. And I wish he would be jailed forever. He stole from hospitals, from pensioners, from Holocaust survivors and more. His wife is further left than Peace Now, one of his daughters videos young IDF soldiers checking for bombs at borders to make sure that they're nice to the people being checked, and one of his son's ran away to the States to avoid the Israel draft.
11. My landlord and Olmert are good friends
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.27.14)
Olmert called him one time while I was there paying rent. Just yesterday I called to tell him I needed a new boiler and I had one within two hours.... Point being : I have a good landlord despite his relationship with Olmert .
12. Are you not glad your kids did not go to work for OLDEMERDE
Jewish Doctor ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (03.27.14)
note: OLDEMERDE (the "envelope man") takes a lot of people down with him. Maybe deservedly so. But I am still glad my children shunned his gov't as corrupted and avoided service/volunteering/interning for these awful politicians who believe the road to riches is through the political gov't positions they betray.
13. hero to barnea, verter, gal on, livni and peres
marv   (03.27.14)
this hero is about to meet his fate. So far judges behave like dror who apparently said that peace policies needed to be factored by winograd which was dead wrong, dead wrong. Al those in media, mks, wishing to make a centre left coalition wiht olmert on top to make massive concessions- its up to the judge. if he examines olmert's demeanour and what he has been saying now blaming zaken, everyone but himself, a schoolchild could figure this out. Stop pandering to expm. Livni and gal on can visit him all the time in jail and tel him out great he was. israel has never seen the like of olmert and hopefully never does again. israelis were never chosen and olmert is the proof of it.
14. Well ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.27.14)
If you can throw a former president who never committed the crime of which he was accused into prison, then surely you can throw a former prime minister who committed fiscal crimes, deliberately attempted to obstruct justice and hampered a prosecution by destroying evidence into prison for a VERY long time.
15. Don't give up Ehud, we miss you!
