Dubbel talk? We where not born yesterday you said what you said in a time of WAR and you will be brougt down for that!! LO NISKACH V'LO NESLACH!!

Sufficient evidence is in to utterly reject the notion that Israel can afford to cede territory to an irredentist, nihilist, national movement hellbent on destroying the Jewish Homeland. We are paying the price of Leftist Elitism with destruction of jewish settlement in Gush Katif, with the withdrawal from Lebanon, and now this moron that some of my countrymen voted in as Prime Minister would have Gush Dan, Netanyah, and Ben Gurion International Airport under katusha or Qasam fire with his realignment madness. True, Jew's are Romans or Germans, we are not a conquering people, and we would prefer to rule ourselves rather than ruling other people. However, history and circumstances don't allow us the luxury of ignoring what is clear for all to see: We are facing an implacable enemy in Arab Islamofascism, Palestinian Nationalism, and Hizbullah madness. Why put the rest of the country in their crosshairs? Olmert, shut up. Let smarter people than you run the war, and resign leaving room for rational national leaders to pick up the pieces of your perfidious policies. I don't relish the idea of having to deal with so many jew hating arabs on the west bank, but what real choice do we have? Haven't we learned enough from the stupidity of the moves we've made in Gaza and Lebanon, that we have to run willy nilly and repeat them in Judea and Samaria. Olmert: shut your stupid mouth.

If no realignment then are you suggesting that we make these Palestinians citizens of Israel? Or is the alternative to just continue to play a wild game of poker? I certainly don't want the Palestinians as neighbors and would never accept them as part of the Land. What is your recommendation?

Without truely Palestinian State in West bank ( including East Jerusalem with AlAqsa) and Gaza strip, there will be no peace in this area. If you need security for Israel, end oppression and occupation. otherwise, you'll keep crying and suffering FOR EVER. God Bless Falsteen, the land of Muhammed, Ameen.

The best think for Israel would be to realign Olmert to some other country. Let him go and join his kids.

Mr. Joseph Kaufman I second your emotion... Olmert 'idee fixe' should be somehow exorcised by adjuration, by a solemn oath or be forced to quit and go home to Binyamina... Mr Olmert do not play 'Gibor = Macho' on the misery of 250,000 Jewish lives. Where would the new Jewish Olim settle? If you restrict the country and make it unlivable who would go to Israel and risk to be grinded under the rain of murdering missiles… this is exactly what you are auguring the new generation. Bush will go away in a few months and would be replaced by another so do not turn the tables on your own people.

How is it posible to be PM and be so disconnected from the Israeli public? May we soon be rid of him and his arrogance.

When Ephraim spoke there was trembling... he exalted himself in Israel but when he became guilty through Baal he died And now they sin more and more and have made them molten images of their silver according to their own understanding even idols all of them the work of the craftsmen of them they say “They that sacrifice men kiss calves” Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the dew that early passeth away as the chaff that is driven with the wind out of the threshing-floor and as the smoke out of the window Yet I am the L*RD thy G*d from the land of Egypt and thou knowest no G*d but Me and beside Me there is no saviour I did know thee in the wilderness in the land of great drought When they were fed they became full they were filled and their heart was exalted therefore have they forgotten Me Therefore am I become unto them as a lion as a leopard will I watch by the way I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps and will rend the enclosure of their heart and there will I devour them like a lioness the wild beast shall tear them It is thy destruction, O Israel that thou art against Me against thy help Ho, now, thy king that he may save thee in all thy cities and thy judges of whom thou saidst “Give me a king and princes” I give thee a king in Mine anger and take him away in My wrath The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up his sin is laid up in store The throes of a travailing woman shall come upon him he is an unwise son for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children Shall I ransom them from the power of the nether-world? Shall I redeem them from death? Ho, thy plagues O death! Ho, thy destruction, O nether-world! Repentance be hid from Mine eyes! For though he be fruitful among the reed-plants an east wind shall come the wind of the L*RD coming up from the wilderness and his spring shall become dry and his fountain shall be dried up he shall spoil the treasure of all precious vessels.

This deranged and deluded PM needs a psychiatric couch urgently. In the midst of rockets raining down from genocidal foes, he talks about handing them more territory from which to kill Jews. Astonishing in its mendacity. How can it be that this man does not yet realize that this war is NOT about setting borders, that Israel can't run from its enemies and that to give over the Jewish heartland only emboldens our enemies and destroys the Jews in Israel?. Whose side is he on anyway? He is a danger to the people and must be 'uprooted' from his position once the war is over.

this guy belongs in a insane asylum for the crimminaly insane g-d help israel

Rewarding murdererers with the LAND of Israel and rewarding the murderer with the land of their victims IS IDIOCITY.. Could IDIOT grasp some common sense? Giving Sinai made Oslo posible? Giving Sinai brought GAZA insurection to the anarch Israel never experienced SINCE 1967.

The ones Israel kidnapped are 1) owns a grocery store 2) a construction worker 3) a flooring worker and 4) is a car mechanic...hehehehehehe nice intelligence job Israelian army...soon they will kidnap a grabage worker...people with disabilities...and 90+ year old elderly assuming they are active fighters.

Baby, The palestinains are here in this Holy Land even before your grandba was born!!! It is better for you and everybody like you to leave! The Palestinains will live and die here till the last day of their lives. It's over! your IDF power is well-known now and your heads after Qana and Bent Jbail are in the soil now:)

You said it brother!

You made the point we have been trying to make the world see! You and your kind want Jews to leave their land. I am certain the plans are already in place to "push them into the sea" once you get in. BTW...Qana? That disaster is a figment of your leaders sick imagination. He staged the events and that will be proven. You are all beasts who don't mind carrying around and displaying babies that have been dead for days. Sick.

It seems from your letter that you are not aware that Al Aqsa was built at the same place where two Jewish Temples had existed centuries before. "The land of Muhammed"????? Are you aware that Muhammed was born 500 years AFTER the destruction of the second Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans?????? Are you aware that the name "Jerusalem" does not appear ANYWHERE in the Quran???? Look it up yourself: www.islamicity.com/mosque/quran/ Are you aware that the name "Jerusalem" appears 792 times in the Bible (643 times in the Old Testament-the Jewish Tanach-and 149 times in the New Testament)?????? Are you aware that the Book of Exodus (one of the 5 books of torah) was written almost 2000 years BEFORE the Quran????? And that the Quran was written about 500 years AFTER the NEW Testament????? Look it up yourself: www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=jerusalem&qs_version=31 It embarasses me to see the blatant lies Islam promotes-it is SO easy to prove them as false now with the Internet.

Be very afraid mahmoud. Israel walks in to lebanon and takes jizzbullas. You knew they were coming and you couldn't stop them. Goodnight to you in your stinking rathole

Please, enough, Adina. Stop criticizing our leaders from the safety of your home in the U.S. We are trying our best to fight and win a war that we didn't ask for. We have thousands of rockets falling on our cities, and our soldiers are fighting a difficult battle, and the last thing we need is all this flak from our supporters. It's bad enough that we get the criticism from all of the Jew-haters, but not from you, at least not now. I usual agree with your posts, but this stuff you're writing is really not needed at the moment. Have a nice day!

You are only quoting the lies Hezbollah is feeding the Lebanese people and the Arab world. We know exactly who these people are and they have already started talking under interrogation. Try to look above the cloud of smoke Hezbollah is creating and wake up to the truth. Hezbollah is going to destroy Lebanon and Lebanese are sitting by, applauding them. Talk about loosers!!

Talk about 1984 double-speak! His "mistake" was in the timing of his statement! I have no doubt that he will resolutely continue with disengagement when the spin doctors say the timing is right. Don't fool yourselves that they've learned anything from this!

life is to kill you. All the fruitcake "peace now" terrorists living in Israel and "fighting" for "peace" are fighting only to sell the rope with which the terrorists would hang all Jews. Rabbi Kahane had the only answer, transfer the arabs out of Israel, pay them for their land, pay them for moving, and see them off if they like it or not. Olmert would give away the birthright of the Jews trying to make "peace" with the terrorists who are dedicated to erasing Jews from the face of the earth. How can you call him a Jew without calling him a terrorist against the Jews, a possibly well meaning but incompetent and irrational leader of Israel?

Why the war and why now? Just weeks before war hell broke loose>!Olmert extends his hand in peace to Abbas. The big boys are playing by US rules! http://www.jewishreview.org/Archives/Article.php?Article=2006-06-01-2345

As I said in #21 to Adina, we're in the middle of a war. And you have the nerve to call our PM a "terrorist". Don't lecture us sitting in Santa Monica. You're supposed to be a supporter of Israel. So support...don't criticize! I fought in three wars here, as did my children, and I have a grandson in the army in the north, and I'm not one of those "peace now" characters, but save your negative remarks for when the war is over. We need morale builders, not Israel-bashers. We've enough of them.

Most of the abducted are over 50 years old. Let Olmert show their faces on TV (as one of the Lebanese parliament member challenged him to do)....

It is discusting ti bash Israel. Anyhow olmert has done enough of that today.

Exchanging Jewish land for war, Global Islamic Terror State One was installed in Gaza with an Al Qaeda and Hizbullah presence. Iranian Revolutionary Guard units train Fatah and Hamas in the Jew-cleansed areas of Gaza. In the land for war, Jew-cleansed areas of global terrorist paradise Gaza, Islamists fire a daily, incessant barrage of rockets on the defenseless Jews of Sderot and Ashkelon. "Peace" for IslamoFascist religious supremacists is the destruction of non-Muslim rule and the triumph of, and the rule of global military Islam. Deceptively mis-named an Arab-Israeli conflict - it is global jihad. Immorally, highly pressured by the U.S. EU, UN, and Russia, Israeli leaders plan to give the military strategic high ground of Judea and Samaria and parts of Jerusalem to global jihadists - bringing Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Netanya, Ra'anana, Kfar Saba, Afula, Hadera, Tiberias and the international airport within rocket firing range of the Islamists - Jewish land in exchange for war! The installation of global Islamic Terror State Two in Israel. Palestinian Authority society are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise: http://www.pmw.org.il/AFD.html

For an allegedly experienced pol', Olmert is showing himself to be worse than an amateur. And unlike Mel Gibson, it doesn't take alcohol for Olmert to reveal what's in his heart. Last year's withdrawal from Gaza was clearly a political gamble. But only a fool refuses to learn from his mistakes. Olmert strikes me as such a fool. (Peres is another such.) Given Israel's oftentimes dysfunctional political leadership, one wonders at the fact that Israel thrives at all. Of course, it's a reflection of the hard work and creativity of its people, their dedication to each other, and the bravery and determination of those who defend the country - despite the knuckleheads that claim to lead it. Once this crisis is past, unless Olmert can demonstrate that he has the strength and wisdom to unite, defend, and lead the country into the future, a vote of no confidence should be called in the Knesset.
