1. end of olmert
yakov ,   uk   (02.01.06)
Sharon thought he was clever, he started up with the holy land and now he lies like a veggie, olmert is next. goodbye kadima!
2. Makes my blood boil
Michael Steiner ,   EU   (02.01.06)
The police look like p*****s, scampering about on the ground as those bastards pour what looks like manure all over them from the roof. Why the HELL don't they deal with these fascists the same way they deal with Palestinians?? A Palestinian kid throws a rock and gets a bullet back; no ifs not buts. These mamzerim are throwing all kinds of stuff on our shoterim and in the end they'll again get hugs and bottle of water! WTF!!!!!
3. Pure insanity!!Go to hell Olmert!!
Daniel ,   Tekoa   (02.01.06)

5. Violent clashes in Amona
Leah Amdur ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.01.06)
I am not going to talkback. I will leave it to the G-d of Israel to talkback
6. wow!
Nabulsi   (02.01.06)
I wonder which Hollywood director they brought in to set this up ... make sure this is shown on all news....
7. Michael Steiner makes by blood boil
Moshe ,   Dolev   (02.01.06)
8. Olmert could have avoided the whole mess
westbankmama   (02.01.06)
There was a compromise worked out where those in Amona would have left willingly, and the houses dismantled. The IDF was in favor, the settlers in favor - but Olmert wanted these pictures in the media. It seems that campaigning on hatred is more important than making peace - between the Jews, at least.
9. blood blood please
mendy ,   brooklyn   (02.01.06)
michael steiner want's to see blood pardon, jewish blood, isn't there in the EU someone who would volunteerly bring him some? please, he needs it desperately. mike, keep crying, maybe at some point somebody 'l listen to you.
10. why not a peaceful compromise?
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (02.01.06)
What was wrong with the peaceful compromise solution of the settlers dismantling their own dwellings? Olmert is tired of fighting enemies, unless they're Jewish. He's a sick and dangerous man. God help us.
11. They call themselfs Jews?
Nadav ,   Misgav   (02.01.06)
No Jews throws stones and willingly injures other Jew. Unless he should not called Jew any more. Now jew has right right to fight viollently against of the democratic descision taken by the state of Israel. Igal Amir and Natan Eden that is what comes from these guys.
12. SHAME on you, Amona Rioters
Howard ,   Pacific Coast, USA   (02.01.06)
There is only one Israeli government. It has a monopoly on the use of force, period. Rioting is illegal according to both secular and religious law. Attacking the police is both illegal and immoral. If you consider the government actions to be wrong, then fight them in Israel according to peaceful and democratic means ONLY. You are hurting the soldiers who defend you against Hamas. You are in fact little better than the Palestinians you hate. You are far more dangerous to the state of Israel than they are, because you are breeders of anarchy in a state that needs discipline and self-control to survive in a bad neighborhood. But you don't care about that, do you? You presume to decide foreign and military policy for yourselves; if everyone else did the same, then Israel would explode into civil war and be destroyed by evil forces. Your illegal outpost endangers soldiers and policemen who would have to defend you if you remained in this highly exposed position. You attack the police with rocks and inflammables when they come to serve a legal eviction order. These are the same police and soldiers who defend you daily. For every drop of blood that the soldiers / policemen shed at your hands, SHAME ON YOU.
13. All of you make my blood boil.
Jacques ,   Brussels   (02.01.06)
Some people here take care of the settler's blood but don't care even a little of the policeman's or the palestinian's blood. No blood at all! Just comply to national (and international) laws. Amona is illegal. Settlers must leave or must be removed. If they use force to stay, it is normal that force is used against them, otherwise it would simply be a "coup d'état". Period.
14. Arabs settlements are illegal!
Daisy ,   USA   (02.01.06)
When are the Arab land thieves going be thrown off of Jewish land?
15. Election-time beating of Opposition Candidates
Michael A. Shoemaker ,   Eugene, Oregon, USA   (02.01.06)
Whatever Olmert's excuse, the beating up of opposition candidates during election time can only be seen as an assault on democracy. The demonstrators pleaded for a peaceful solution, but were refused. Even then, there was no need for the police to single out MKs in their assault. Olmert is a repressive dictator, plain and simple.
16. The IDF look like stormtroopers!
Daisy ,   USA   (02.01.06)
The beating up of Jews is Iran's and hamass wet dream. Israel will destroy itself before the Arab terrorists will. Unbelievable!
17. The Jewish Soul
Marigene ,   Phoenix AZ USA   (02.01.06)
As a Zionist Christian, I visited Israel in 1983 and again last March. No more visits to Israel until it's leaders once again have a Jewish Soul.
18. Alzheimer Olmert
Haim ,   Raanana   (02.01.06)
The disgusting scenes of Amona have shown "Kadima" in it's true perspective. To order the evacuation of thousands of youngsters to show Bush that you accept his dictates only emphasises this administration's weakness. We have seen this kind of brutality somewhere else in the world. There was no valid reason not to avoid this confrontation. Olmert showed what he really is. ANY PERSON WHO VOTES "KADIMA" IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF HIS MIND.
19. Michael Steiner
Buster   (02.01.06)
These people make a stand before armed/trained men and women while you sit safe and smug a million miles from Israel behind your keyboard and pour out your venom. I would be surpirsed is you have every done anything in your entire life to warrant being called a be called a MAN.
20. Shame on you, Olmert!!!
Chaya Eitan ,   Bat Yam   (02.01.06)
We should be fighting our enemies - the Arabs of Gaza, Judea and Samaria - instead of fighting our youth!! We should be building MORE outposts!!! This is only giving encouragement to our enemies!! SHAME ON YOU, OLMERT!!!
21. B"H Jews with backbone stand up to a corrupt secular Olmert!
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (02.01.06)
22. Vote Kadima !!!!
Secular Sabra ,   Israel   (02.01.06)
Olmert rulez !!! Kadima into the future. Out of the West Bank . The people of The State of Israel demand an end to the settlement movement and the vicious facist HillTop Youth !!! End occupation now !!!!
23. Rabin was right
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.01.06)
"break their arms and legs" (as directed for the Palestinian stone-throwing intifadists)...just as applicable to the Jewish intifadists
24. #22; A vote for Kadima is a vote for hamass!
Daisy ,   USA   (02.01.06)
End the Arab occupation of Jewish land. There is nothing sadder than an self-hating Jew if you really are Jewish.
25. Michael Steiner
Joe ,   Israel   (02.01.06)
How to deal with Michael Steiner and his ilk?One does not have to read many of his diatribes to sense that MS likes to see his name in print. His responses are egregious and replete with vulgarities. He craves to be taken seriously and will probably be very offended if his letters evoke little or no response. Let us not dignify him with a response and maybe he will go away.
26. Marigene , Phoenix AZ USA
DACON9 ,   ALL TORAH ISRAEL   (02.01.06)
ITS VERY DIFFICULT FOR A JEW TO HAVE A 'JEWISH' SOUL NECUASE OF YOU XTIANS PROSELYTIZING TO US , PEREACHING, CONFUSING AND CONVERTING US. YOU XTIANS HAVE STARTED THE BREAKDOWN AND CONTINUE THE BREAKDOWN. OF JUDIASM. TO THIS VERY MINUTE YOU XTIANS ARE DESTROYING JEWISH FAMILIES SOMEWHERE WITH YOUR MISSIONARIES, ALONG WITH SO MANY OTHER CULTURES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THIS IS YOUR INTELLECTUAL TURN YOUR OTHER CHEEK , I LOVE YOU PHILOSOPHY. JEUS WAS A HERETIC AND TAUGHT DISSENTION, WAS EVEIL AND BANAISHED FROM THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. THAT IS YOUR ROOTS AND YOU HAVENT LEARNED A THING FROM THEN. AFTER THE WAR XOMING, THE PROPHESY OF THE FATE OF THE XTIANS WILL BE . I GUESS ONLY THEN WILL YOU ACCEPT WHAT AM TELLING YOU. YOU CAN AVOID THAT FATE BY FOLLOWING FULLY, THE ENTIRE NOAHIDE LAWS. UNTIL THEN.... DONT GO TO ISRAEL.
27. Michael MOHAMED Steiner , medication cant help you
ARREST OLMERT ,   ,DACON9   (02.01.06)
28. Olmert is tired of fighting HIS FIGHT JUST STARTED
DACON9 ,   REFEREE   (02.01.06)
SHARON GOT LOST OLMERT FOLLOWED THE LOST IMAGINE WHATS NEXT. NO PROBLEM BY THEN THE ISRAELIS WILL BE IN BROOKLYN OR MAYBE THE ISRAELIS WILL HAVE REVOLTED AGAINST THE WACKY LIBERALS AND STOOD WITH 'G'D'? IS THAT POSSIBLE?
29. THE RAGE OF ISRAEL'S LEFT IS RESERVED FOR JEWS ALONE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.01.06)
The terrorists laugh all the way to the bank with mega U.S. and European TAX DOLLARS. It's land for war. Displaying absolute contempt for Israel's plight of being in a state of war and under continual attack; the U.S. EU and UN are ruthless in their demands that Israel does not fight back, but give continual victory to her enemies! The Jewish Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria has been designated next on the list by the U.S. EU and UN, for ethnic Jew-cleansing and Islamic conquest! Jew-haters, Peace Now, and Israel's left, do their job of demonizing and creating hostility towards the hated religious Jews of Judea and Samaria. The Islamofascists celebrate their savage murders of Jewish children and pregnant Jewish mothers, but the rage of Israel's left is reserved for the religious, law-abiding Jews of Judea and Samaria. It's not just Islam that despises Judaism! Israeli leaders in 1967, gave control of Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount, to Muslims! The Jews of Judea and Samaria, are to be punished for following Judaism! 250,000 Jews ethnically cleansed; rendered jobless and homeless and their confiscated land given to Muslims! The raison d'etre of the genocidal PA society is the mass murder of Jewish innocents. Palestinian Authority society are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise: http://www.pmw.org.il/AFD.html
30. Law and order must be restored
Richard ,   New York, USA   (02.01.06)
There must be respect for the law and those in authority. We can't have settlers going wild and doing whatever they feel like doing. And if they will not comply with the law and leave peacefully, then it is the duty of the Israeli government to send in police enforce the law.
