1. which created an unacceptable balance of terror
Tunisian   (08.01.06)
"....which created an unacceptable balance of terror between us and our neighbors to the north...." Who said that Hizbullah is "terrorist organisation" ? sometimes prime ministers tell the " truth " even mispoken. Can people read between the lines?
2. Olmert: We never promised to eliminate rocket threat
(08.01.06)
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3284855,00.html Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, speaking in Glilot, said Tuesday that “We never promised that at the end of this war there would be no rocket threats against Israel. Neither the defense minister, nor the leadership, nor I promised there would be no rockets within range.” IS HE INSANE?!!!!!! This is like a "I Give Up" speech.
3. Despite War, IDF Distributing Demolition Orders to Outpos
(08.01.06)
http://www.arutzsheva.com/news.php3?id=108910 Though many assumed that the destruction of communities in Judea and Samaria had been postponed, if not canceled, due to the war, the IDF distributed demolition orders to one community Tuesday. WHY IS HE THINKING ABOUT DESTROYING JEWISH HOMES AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!??!?!
4. It did change,now you have 1.3Billion Muslims 2 worry about.
Observer ,   Canada   (08.01.06)
5. OLMERT YOUR'E THE BEST
Sholomke ,   Brooklyn   (08.01.06)
It is enough to say that Israel has not deviated from the basic rules of morality demanded by the ancient Jewish faith; we have no need to learn these rules from other people and other nations."
6. Observer - muslim unity is a fallacy
Peter ,   Toronto, canada   (08.01.06)
Observer, for 60 years the muslim countries have paid lip service to their hatred of Israel. there is no such thing as pan silamic or pan arabism. IT simply is a failed strategy, from Nasser to Osama. Accept the fact that you hate each other as much as you hate the Jews. Life will be easier for you. It amazes me that the Shia and Sunnis kill 100 people a day in Iraq, yet we are focussed on Qana. In Sudan arabs are killing africans in the hundreds per day. No uproar. You people are absurd.
7. Jews are too gentleman like
old ,   Berlin   (08.01.06)
When the Jews came out from Mizraim, then they saw Kenaan, yes, but strike??? They had not strike learnd! And now they must learn strike! I must strike for Israel or Europe had lost in this war! Shalom! Gods timing for you! Jews are my people, God is Jew!
8. olmert
av ,   london.uk   (08.01.06)
right on .no one can teach us morality .nothing to learn from the goims.what they ask from us is what they wish to be and cannot be
9. WE LOVE U OLMERT!!!!
o ,   usa   (08.01.06)
10. #7 Olmert and those in power are not observant Jews
(08.01.06)
just Jews ethnically. What Olmert is doing by doing a lacky approach and not going with the iron fist is not by any standard Jewish, true Jewish practice would be really to obliterate your enemy. When one is mercy to the cruel, they will be cruel to the mercifull.
11. observer- observe this: history: jews always outnumbered
A Real Observer ,   World   (08.01.06)
and survived the babylonians,greeks, romans, medyanites, caananites, edomites, ottomans, mamlukes, seljuks, arabs, crusaders, inquisition, holocaust and all the other jew hating stuff the gentiles threw at them... wake up and thow in with a survivor. islam is a fad and it will pass, all it is is paganism pretending to be monotheism(1).

12. Olmert family
s davies ,   jerusalem israel   (08.01.06)
Are any of Olmert's sons on the front line ? If not, why should anyone else's be ?
13. No need to learn morality from them......
zvi ,   los angeles USA   (08.01.06)
Emet The Jewish People do not need to be taught morals by the former vichy regime nor by the former quisling regime nor by the states that watched 6 million of our people murdered and did nothing. Recall the outcry when we captured eichmann AM YISRAEL CHAI
14. #2
david ,   france   (08.01.06)
Nasralla's sons on the front line, his Elder Hadi was killed on the front line like any solder. It's a reason why hezbollah will win!!
15. check this out!
Michal 15 years old ,   israeli girl   (08.01.06)
I'm surprised..i mean i heard yesterday carfully carfully to the speech of Olmert..and he said some really strong things!-things with lot of sence!! like:"israel have the right, the naturall right to live a normal life" or:"we are sorry for the innocent civillians that get killed" this is so clear that Israel has a purpose and the purpose is: to get the hizballa of the borderline and to hit the hizballa people.. but when u try to look more deeply to the details..u see that the hizballa has no goal!they want to kill and hut israelis civilians !-and then the want to "take us to the trial" by killing people while we try to defend ourselves from the hizballah??this is so lame!! this is soooo clear that we are both israel and lebanon civilians are victimes of the hizballah and fucking nasralla terror! we dont try to hurt civilians!the hizballah organizations is all over lebanon, and the hizballah people are surrounded by civilians!-unfortunately we cant bomb the hizballah people excatly...so the peopel around get hurt..but Israel did something very humanty..israel told the civilians excatly where willisrael army will work ,so the civilians wont hurt! u will never found such a thing in any country..trust me! we want peace we care about peace but to make this happen we need to fight and stop the terror in our counrty.. Hope peace will be soon! It's time for u lebanon to WAKE UP! open ur eyes!! and there is something that believe something that every israeli keep in his heart, soul and mind that's calls "peace" we want to believe that one it will happen!
16. An outrage
Steve ,   Tennessee, USA   (08.01.06)
Whenever Jews are being killed the world is silent. Whenever Jews in battle are winning, the world screams.
17. I agree #5. Wonderful comments! Bravo!
Laura ,   US   (08.01.06)
18. #4 - Yes, our medical advances have enabled them to thrive
Haifa, Israel   (08.01.06)
19. #16 ... Well Said
Phil ,   Auburn, Indiana   (08.01.06)
Couldn't have said it better myself !!! Israel should ignor what the world says...it has a short memory. When all is said and done..... winning the war is the only thing that matters.
20. #4
jr ,   cal usa   (08.01.06)
exactly nothing changed ,how many muslims were on israel's side before this?
21. #12
Boris ,   USA   (08.01.06)
Olmert's 2 sons fled away from serving in army & live in USA
22. I agree with 16 too. Israel is blessed
Pt   (08.01.06)
The Jewish people must stand up for itself and wipe out these islamic nuts that are being misled by satan. Israel is blessed. I hope they wipe out this cancer inside Lebanon (for the Lebanese sake as well!).
23. Really???
Somone ,   USA   (08.01.06)
As long as your face is there, the face of the region may nevr change:)
24. Morality of murder
Mary ,   Beirut   (08.01.06)
Can't Israelis see that Olmert is taking them down the route of believing it is ok to kill innocent civilians...where are your morals and sense of ethics... What Israel is doing today is unjustifiable... history will judge you on your actions.
25. Olmert has some problems with......
Lebanese ,   Lebanon   (08.01.06)
after these hard 21 days ,it's normally to Halutz to have problems with nerves & Olmert with head but not to such a level.he is speaking as if he won the war at the time when IDF didn't move more than 1 km in Lebanese territories,he is speaking as if the risk of bombings is minimized ,he just finished his speech when bombs started to fall on all the north which didn't happen after 2000 after the agreement with Hizbollah.It's obvious that Olmert wants to be considered as Peres , Sharon & other big Israel people but he will never grow more than an american puppet
27. Nice Theory #16
Jack ,   France   (08.01.06)
We don't have the same point of you. The world screams when human rights are violated, when massacres are commited. That's why we all screamed and still for the jews extermination during ww2, for Chawcesco massacres, for Saddam massacres, and the list is big....stop your paranoa...just shut up.
28. Do i see zionists talk about judaism?
NaturiKarta ,   Occupied Palestine   (08.01.06)
is that what the torah and telmud told us to do? to kill civilians? to kill children and women ? is that what we can call a victory? and a victory for ISRAEL? who said that we have the right for a land ? i always thought that we, jewish ppl, is the cleverest in the world, don't the jews of what's called ISRAEL land see that a Maniac like OLMERT is driving the jews to the cliff? doesn't israelian ppl see that the jews around the world now is the symbol of loss and humiliation? http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/

I did not hear your screams when Serbs were bombed, so that you, humanity loving europeans (read French first of all) could avoid a flux of Kosovo muslims into your country. Where was your bleeding heart then? You, europeans (read French first of all) totally lost wish to act on the grounds of principle, only expediency, and only short term. Your ought not lecture anyone anymore.
