The new Hamas state on our borders is of course a strategic threat and only a coward and/or idiot wouldn't see it. Want to die? Vote Kadima.
2. ABBAS'S PARTY-FATAH'S MILITARY WING PLANING MASSIVE TERROR
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.22.06)
PLO/PA-Hamas know words, not actions, suffice for the U.S. EU and UN! PLO/Palestinian Authority broke all agreements of Oslo-Road Map. RENDERING OSLO-ROAD MAP NULL AND VOID! Enbler, Olmert, insanely complies with Oslo-Road Map's empowerment of barbaric terrorists who wage continual religious war to conquer Israel. The goal of global jihad - every nation ruled by Islamists! Hitler wanted only Europe. Islamofascists want the entire world! WorldNetDaily.com 'Good,' bad terrorists trade roles in Mideast With rise of Hamas, Abbas' Fatah, Brigades vow to become primary attackers of Israelis February 16, 2006 JERUSALEM - Now that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' long-ruling Fatah Party has been forced into the opposition by Hamas' rise to power, Fatah and its "military offshoot," the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, will become the most active Palestinian terror group, a senior Brigades leader said in an exclusive interview. The leader said Abbas' party supports the Brigades' terror attacks against Israeli civilians and approves of a massive violent offensive he warned will soon be launched against the Jewish state, in part to revolt against Hamas. Acting Prime Minister Ehuld Olmert last week announced his administration will seek to "change Israel's borders" by withdrawing from most of the West Bank, which runs alongside many major Israeli cities and the country's international airport. Asked if the Al Aqsa Brigades will launch rockets at nearby towns - including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - following any Israeli pullout from the West Bank, Abu Nasser replied, "I can tell you that you can count on it that there will be big surprises waiting [for the Israelis.]" ... Abu Oudai, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades leader...I don't need to tell you that the aerial distance from Jenin to Netanya, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities is not big without telling you what are all our plans concerning other parts of the West Bank."... http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48849
3. Omert just thinks he knows more
(02.22.06)
Omert thinks he knows more than the shin bet - that is scary, as there is no way he knows more and to have an acting prime minister who is so ignorant and foolish is very scary.
4. SEVERE STRATEGIC SECURITY THREAT INSIDE ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.22.06)
ARAB MK BISHARA CALLED SEVERAL TIMES FOR INTIFADA AGAINST ISRAEL. The ethnic cleansing of 10,000 Jews violated Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, broke Israel's Basic Human Rights Law and Clause 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Loyal Jews, including children, are brutally beaten and jailed. Jewish taxpayers who pay Arab MK Bishara's salary are FORCED TO FINANCE TREASON! Who is controlling Israel? The U.S. EU, UN, Russia and Islam? Arab Muslim Israelis who are openly genocidal to Jews and support the violent overthrow of Israel are members of Israel's government! No other nation on earth allows such treason. Will Jews revolt against their forced financing of treason and MK Muslim hate incitement to a second holocaust of Jews? From article on the violent Arab Muslim Israeli riots in 2000 'Let's investigate everything' by Yaron London, 10/2/05 http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3150205,00.html The report offers a history of Arab demonstrations and protests that over time have become evermore extreme. The report also mentions several individuals that contributed, through words and through silence, to the progression from legitimate protest into a violent, destructive riot. Leaders of the Islamic Movement, wrote the Or Commission, fanned the flames by accusing Israel of planning to destroy the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount, and openly sympathizing with Hizbullah and al-Qaeda. MK Azmi Bishara (National Democratic Assembly) has said the Shiite militia should be a role model for the struggle with Israel, and has called several times for an intifada against Israel. Arab-Israeli leaders should be investigated The Or Commission- including one Arab justice and another member considered an important expert in Arab culture - rejected Bishara's evasive comments, and had this to say about the part Israeli Arab leaders played in the October, 2000 riots: Individuals such as the leaders of the Supreme Israeli Arab Monitoring Committee, the Islamic Movement, and Knesset Members Tibi, Bishara, Dehamshe and Zahalka were full partners to the outbreak of riots in October, 2000, and therefore also bear responsibility for the deaths of 13 of their brethren." The following is part of an article from jerusalempost.com, Sept. 25 2005 'Column One: Israel's disengaged establishment' by Caroline Glick: "...recall what happened five years ago. Following months of increased violence and extremism in the Arab-Israeli sector incited directly by the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli Islamic Movement and the Arab members of Knesset, violent riots seized the Arab sector of Israel in October 2000. During the week of riots, Arab Israelis threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli civilian cars throughout the country. Israeli motorists were dragged out of their cars on Highway 65 along Wadi Ara and beaten. An Israeli motorist was murdered when Arabs from Jasser a-Zarka threw a rock at his windshield as he drove down the coastal highway..."
5. Olmert is gonna teach Diskin about security
(02.22.06)
Should we laugh or cry
6. Olmert's Fantasy World
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.22.06)
According to the temporary Israeli P.M.the Southern border is not a threat and neither is Hamas .All is well in his La,La land where the primary agenda is throwing Jews out of their land and homes. Maybe he doesn't see them as a threat becasue he is one of them ?Or maybe his large head and overabundance of arrogance has clouded his judgment ? Too many leaders who gain power today let it get to their fat heads as we see President Bush sufferning from the disease of meglomaniac's
7. Stuck on stupid
yoel ariel ,   travel is hell   (02.22.06)
What a base shame and tradgedy for Israel. The midget Olmert is a serious candidate for PM. What a low down crying shame. This slimeball would not know a threat if it bit him on the lip. Time for the old US bomber sticker reminder: ANYONE BUT OLMERT. BTW: What is the play on words:Smolmert??
8. Olmert Brought Hamas to Power
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (02.22.06)
This imbecile (make that corrupt imbecile) brought Hamas to power by insisting that it be allowed to run in the PA elections, despite being advised by many, even in Kadima, not to do so. And he is blind to the strategic threat of a powerful terrorist group, funded and armed by foreign powers that want Israel destroyed, which itself swears to destroy Israel. If you entrust your life and your family's lives to this imbecile, you are making a huge mistake. Don't do it.
9. Olmert and Hamas
Benjamin Saidel ,   Greenville, USA   (02.22.06)
Ehud Olmert is not only a moron, but an inept public official. Under his tenure as Mayor of Jerusalem the city turned into one dirty, grimy dump. It also has the distinction of being the poorest city in Israel. Nice Job! Apparently, he does not realize that he holds his current position due to cronyism and not due to any type of talent or intellectual achievement. Now doubt when Hamas spits in Olmert’s face he will call it rain.
10. Olmet and Kadimah
Robert Soloman ,   Israel   (02.22.06)
The people of Israel would be well advised not to vote for Olmet's Kadimah party. Olmet lacks true leadership qualities. He doesn't have the strength or wisdom to lead Israel at this very challenging time in its history. I don't wish to denigrate the man, however, I believe that he would make a very poor Prime Minister. Any of the other party leaders on either the right or left are better qualified to lead the country. Also his party, Kadimah, is made up of opportunists who defected from their parties for personal gain. That is to say, most, if not all, Kadimah members are more interested in themselves then in the serving their country.
11. All Above, and Probably Below..
Mo   (02.22.06)
KADIMA IS GOING TO WIN. And if you think otherwise, you're smoking something so good that you need to send it over to me! Makes no difference to me, I think each party is worse and more evil than the next, but come on now, you idiots couldn't REALLY believe that Kadima has even a SLIGHT CHANCE of being defeated could you?? You know who's not voting for Kadima? - The people who post on this website. and You know who will vote Kadima? - Everyone else in Israel ..........How mad does that make you?! :)
12. Who's in the coma, Olmert or Sharon?

HOW IF SOMEBODY TRY TO BEAT YOU OR DESTRUCT YOUR HOUSE ,ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT BACK OR YOU WILL KEEP IN PEACE......?
14. Here's smirkin' at you kid.
yoel ariel ,   travel'n man   (02.22.06)
Morning #11, (makes me feel like I'm in a Bond, James Bond film). How mad? Not very. A country gets the government it deserves. Lots and lots of really dumb folks will vote for Olmert as proxy for an other really crap choice, now doing his stellar Lox performance. Idiot? I dont think so. I do not try to dissuade anyone from their personal folly. That is character building. But nothing says I cant say, "Hey stupid. Bad move!" "If you stick your fork in the electric socket you will have a bad hair day!!!" Just consider me a latter day Prophet sans profit. I expect Khadima(snifter clink and tip of the fedora to Herr Steiner)to clean up a LOT of seats in the K-beit and then shortly disintergrate thereafter into a disasterous series of mis-steps and false entres, squandering security, money(someone elses) and lives, because of the piss poor protoplasm it is constructed from. So allow me to smirk a larger smirk than you can muster, because I know exactly who the clown posse is and how they are stuck in the stupid detent, and cant get out. Nothing so sad as watching a slow motion train wreck with all of the Toonerville residents thinking they know how to run the train.
15. To Mo (#11)
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (02.22.06)
Hey, it's your country and your life. You can throw them away if you want to. This Jew would like to make Aliyah with his family, but won't so long as the likes of Kadima/Labor/Meretz are running the country. I don't have a suicide wish.
16. Olmert & His Blinders
Adinak Kutnicki ,   US   (02.22.06)
The same way that I would take security advice from my landscaper and carpenter, is the same way that I would treat Olmert's security assessments.
17. Neither were the German's or Japanese.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.22.06)
That's why so many naive people died. It was easier to walk into the oven, than look the truth squarely in the face.
18. Olmert is the main strategic threat
Francois ,   Paris   (02.22.06)
19. Olmert is brain dead
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.22.06)
Ariel Sharon, in a coma, has more functioning brain cells than Olmert standing up and talking. My Mom for PM!
20. #11
Jane   (02.22.06)
"...each party is worse and more evil than the next". Sounds like you're talking about your Musliim brethren and your most recent vote underscores that fact. You wouldn't understand good government even if - by a big stretch of the imagination - you got it.
21. #13 - George Sami
Jane   (02.22.06)
Well, George, that is what you are doing to Israel. Not to mention lynchings, suicide bombings, sniping, drive-by shootings and more. That's why we're fighting back.
22. Israelis Now Can Put Their Money
Joe Levi ,   Los Angeles.USA   (02.22.06)
One reads in the "Jewish Press", a rag sheet out of Brooklyn, N.Y, all about the traitor to Judaism, Sharon (prior to his strokes). Now we read on this site, how awful Olmert is. Yet, US Jews are simply back seat drivers. THEIR sons and daughters are not in the IDF. They do not pay Israeli taxes, yet applaud withholding taxes to the PA, withheld from the PA laborers, many of whom work in Israel at cheap rates. Talk about duplicity. The disengagement was not well thought out beforehand, and became a political/religous issue. Israel must learn from the experience, or repeat it. I ask, who is better than Olmert, Beilin, Peres, Peretz? Who? Olmert has many challanges, which, frankly are impossible to all resolve. So far, no one seems more equipped. Certainly, not the thugs who protest legal Israeli decisions and create more divisiveness. If US Jews are so commited to Israel, let them move there, and put their money where there mouth is.
23. Scenes from a horror movie
hanina ,   usa   (02.22.06)
I saw this movie on tv but it was an Alfred Hitchcock movie where these big black birds came in and pecked everyone to death. It was really gross. Yuck how I hate messy endings. Double yuck.
24. leave olmert alone
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.22.06)
This great military hero who wrote for the army magazine knows how to protect Israel. olmert you are in over your head.I would feel safer if our army cook was the acting prime minister. By the way when did you discover all these amazing facts about the pres.of iran? Finally the mortar rounds fell on Jerusalem and the rest of Israel with the birth of kadima.
25. does olmet even have a brain?
