and told them that I would vote DEMOCRATIC if the US dedicated one dollar to Omlette's expulsion plan.

When will Israel cease to be a welfare state? where do the billions we in the US send each month go? it seems like every other day israel is on our doorstep with its hand out. i'll tell our lazy cousin in the east the same thing my parents told me when i was younger.. GET A JOB!!! seroiusly, have some dignity and take care of your own.

Your mess, Israel. You pay for it. Maybe you can wring some dough out of wealthy American Jews and extort a few more bucks from Swiss bankers.

The taxpayers in the US should not pay a bloody red cent for Olmert's scheme. On a practical level, this scheme will ramp up the jihadist terror fervor in the Middle East and worldwide exponentially. Since the Islamofascists will realize that Israel has been willing to sacrifice its biblical & historical birthright for the deluded 'quiet', they will settle for nothing less than total victory. This Islamist fervor will bring them closer and closer to establishing their wet dream of a Caliphate. Therefore, it is NOT in the US self interest to go along with this 'convergence'. Furthermore, on a moral level, why would any person of conscience want to be a party to creating tens of thousands of new refugees in Israel? Katrina was a natural disaster and people were heartsick over the refugees created. However, Olmert's plans would be a man made disaster. The previous set of refugees have yet to be cared for. due to Sharon's ill fated expulsion, which by the way paved the opening for the largest global terror camp in the world! If Israel's leaders want to go down the path of self destruction/immolation then let them proceed on their own. US citizens certainly don't, nor should they want to have a hand in this treachery!

Uh teif, the US does not send "billions" each month to Israel. You must be thinking of your local DC government. Overwhelmingly, the money goes for defense spending, where Israel is required to use US funds to buy US weapons (which is not unreasonable, after all). HOWEVER, the US has in the past given non-military aid, and this should be only in the past. In no way should the US fund the expulsion of Jews. (The woman on the presidential opinion line seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and seemed more than usually sympathetic, though she could express no official position.)

I don't understand about what peace U are talking. Israel negotiate with the US about the future of Palestine and the owners of the land are excluded from the fomula.This is exactly what Hamas is saying, these guys have a really long term vision about the mentality of the jews that is structured on deciption and cheating....

You got them without USA authorization , and you get them out without USA help. this is the jewish behavior , always they wasnt the Tax payers to pay for their mistakes, all they need is $$$$

In the past, israel needed billions to build setlements on occupied territories...America pays. Now, 10 billions to move a quarter of those lillegal settlers, America to pay. Poor American Tax Payer: The Pentagon cannot account for TWO TRILLION Doallrs. Israel cost over last 50 years: ONE AND HALF TRILLION Dollars. Thats a hundred thousand dollars for every american man woman and child. Listen Olmert, your friend Sharon ceated it, now you solve it. NO MORE AMERICAN MONEY.

To SK USA # 1 - I did the exact same thing. As a Jewish Republican I will never vote for them again if they agree to Olmert's suicidal plans.

One more thing - Olmert is completely lying about NOT dividing Jerusalem. What exactly does handing over Arab towns in Jerusalem mean, other than the dividing of the city?

I understand the desire not to remove Jews from their homes and from Jewish land. But the reality of the situation is that the Palestinians are not going to leave, and Israel cannot absorb so many Arabs and maintain a Jewish demographic, so the only solution is a separation of the two peoples into two states. So my question to those who want to keep all the settlements is, what solution do you propose?

Olmert's dirty secret

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS OWNED BY THE ROTHCHILDS. THYE PRINT AND LEND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. THEY SURE CAN PRINT A FEW MORE DOLLARS TO HELP "OUR ALLY".

"Well, I just called up the Presidential comment line and told them that I would vote DEMOCRATIC if the US dedicated one dollar to Omlette's expulsion plan." OH NO I bet they're shaking in their boots! LOL. Man, you honestly think they care who 'sk' is gonna vote for? Yeah, you're right, since you made that phone call, not one penny will go to Olmert, and he will call the plan off entirely and actually expand settlements and return to Gaza, too! Wow, thank God you called! LOL, you are insignificant my friend, sorry but it's true.

Ah yes the rich Jews who control the world should be paying for all this. Focus on the money. A great anti semetic canard. and on the pages of a Jewish paper yet. How brave. The real story is the boldness and courage of Olmert's stance. And whether it is the right one. Some would say the left one. Others not. But there is no denying Olmert is going far beyond Sharon. But then again Olmert did get elected on this platform. It is too early to apraise whether this is the best move in my opinion. Is this providing opportunities for more rocket launching sites? Is this going to make it easier to fight al qaeda cells? These are the only consideration worthy of consideration after five years of fighting a terror war if you do not count the years 1936-2000

On these forums you do not find solutions, just continueous pickering and particularly from the Gringo Jews whose solution is Ethnic Cleansing. They want all arabs deported from the land of Israel so that they maintain a Pure Jewish Faith Stae. Imagine if some group in Canada calls for a pure "Catholics" only country !! Mind you, the settlers Olmert intends to vacate (some 70 thou out of 250 thou) are practically on occupied territories for which the United Nations issues more than 65 resolutions (to end the occupation) and all vere vetoed by the U S against the majority. Life sucks in the Middle East.

YESHA was (if it ever existed) something of ancient history. Yaheh was a UFO. promised land shmorised land. What do you smoke ???

the U S paid two billion dollars for the Gaza disengagement

The PA milked billions of $ out of the western taxpayers but have nothing but a second rate Somalia (in the words of one of your ministers) to show for it!!!

to have all of israels jewish population immigrate to the u.s.a. than keep pumping money to a state un-wanted by its neighbors? We are talking about nationalizing 12 million mexicans and other s. americans. The israelis on the other hand have well trained military, good supply of nuclear bombs, good inductry and agriculture, beautiful girls, lots of rabbis, god supply of extacy and great sex trade experts. Man, we would be better off in america...

Haven't you people seen the US-made Road Map? It calls for a full freeze on settlement growth and a withdrawal from all internationally-illegal settlements. So why wouldn't they financially support their own plan?

the US paid NOTHING for the Gaza mistake.

Must be just another of your “broad minded,” inclusive, multicultural European constructs. You’re showing yourself a proper bigot on more levels than one. Congratulation. Just another achievement for the European Lefto-fascists.

Are you on crack? This money is to get settlers out of their homes so YOU will have a home? WHAT IN THE HELL DID THE ARAB LEADERS DO TO YOUR BRAIN?! how is this possible?! how can you be so knowingly stupid?! I don't get it someone please tell me!

Far from justifying the withdrawal, I wonder why American citizens are making so much fuss about the money this convergence plan will cost them? The whole idea of returning the "territories" is yours - we didn't want to return them, but the pressure from one US administration after another finally brought result. Why Sharon who was one of the initiator of the settlement activities, suddenly changed his mind? Because he surrendered to the pressure. You forced us to do this - you pay for it. As for Jerusalem - Olmert will not be able to stop the avalanche of withdrawals. Alas, he will give it up.

HE IS SIMPLY DREAMING

ISRAEL IS SHRINKING AND SOON WILL BE HIDING BEHIND WALLS. THE VIOLENCE WILL CONTINUE TILL ISRAEL COMES BACK TO THE 1967 BORDER.
