1. Wow, millions are marching!
Nadav ,   Misgav   (08.29.06)
Amazing what a hype is trying to be created here about 6! guys walking to Jerusalem and another 50 or so already there. So what about the other thousand who simply went back home, they probably got a life!
2. At least some are making the effort. Olmert must resign.

8. Its All Ridiculous, US Rules
Dave Levi ,   Burbank. USA   (08.29.06)
This entire protest about how the war was conducted at high levels, is blatantly ridiculous. In fact, it's well known that despite Israeli denials, the US rules the roost, and pulls the strings on virtually everything Israel does in foreign affairs. Condi went to Israel, and the IDF was given orders not to further aggravate this entire crisis by any moves that would incite Israel's Arab neighbors. Israel called up those reservists, who do have some cause for complaint in that most killed were from their ranks. But they should also understand the wider implications...full fledged wars with Syria, Iran, and perhaps even Egypt and Jordan. I believe Condi and Bush saw those possibilities...and were told by the Saudis...cool Israel or there will be hell to pay. The reservists in fact, are lucky that Olmert was not Begin, Shamir or Golda...then there might have really been funerals...all the way around. This M.E. conflict is now a global Islamic was...and Israel is caught in the middle, as usual. It is a war of attrition that it cannot win..the Muslims have too many willing to die for their Jihad and 72 virgins. All Israel can do in the future is to keep the flames down as best as possible..take it's losses, and move on. The M.E. is frankly, the basket case of the world.
9. Reservists' Protest
Gary Ridenour ,   Merritt Is., FL USA   (08.29.06)
I am very concerned about Israel. Having visited there this last March, I fell in love with the country and the people. I am saddened like the reservists that the IDF wasn't allowed to annihilate Hizbollah to rid the northern regions of the constant threat to their lives and homes. If I were a member of the IDF, I would be right out there demonstrating with them. However, like most, I am sure the returning IDF that are not there have to go back to work to provide for their families -- it's not just getting on with their lives, it's keeping food on the table and a roof over the heads of their loved ones. So don't trash those that are not there demonstrating, and don't assume that their absence means they disagree with their "brothers." My Torah Class collectively prays daily for Israel's safety, and for there to be peace in Jerusalem (which means throughout all of G-d's land). I agree with the demonstrating reservists that Israel's government needs to stiffen its backbone, otherwise, the Arabs will get their way -- the annihilation of Israel. Israel does not have the comfort that we in the USA have -- you live next door to this Islamic evil and is intent on youir destruction. G-d bless Israel and its people. Everyone, please take Olmert to task over his poor handling of the Hizbollah and his failure to get the kidnapped IDF soliers back. It is outrageous that as a minumum for Israel'scooperation that those men were not returned. Know, that as an Amercian, I am outraged at my President's policies thus far -- the USA should never have pressured Israel into this ceasefire. There is a next round coming, and it will be bad. Syria will join the fray this time, and Golan could be lost. Know that there are us in the USA that are worried and support you!
10. I support the marchers
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (08.29.06)
But I am physically unable to be with them. Oppenheimer, the whole country is moving right. You had better move out of the way before you get run over!
11. Olmert's Defense
Josh ,   Detroit, Michigan   (08.29.06)
Daffy Duck is not guilty. How do we know? Daffy tells us so.
12. OLMERT LEFT HOLDING THE BABY
ISAAC RUBIN ,   ISRAEL   (08.29.06)
IT MAY BE VERY CONVIENIENT TO BLAME THE P.M. BUT IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD ALL THE P.M'S FROM BARACK TO SHARON WERE NOT BLAMELES WE THE ISRAELI'S WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT WE WERE AT PEACE'S DOORSTEP WHILE IN FACT HISBULLA WERE PREPAIRING FOR THE BIG ONE. THE DECISION TO GO TO WAR WAS SUPORTED BY ALL OUR ELECTED ZIONIST LEADERS NOT JUST OLMERT. DEMOCRACY GIVES US THE RIGHT TO DEMONSTRATE AS WELL AS THE RESPONCIBILITY TO DO THE RIGHT THING I WOULD LIKE THE RESERVISTS TO ASK THEMSELVES IF THEY FEEL THAT THEIR MOTIFS ARE PURE AND IF THEY EXPECT TO SUCCED AND AT WHAT PRICE.JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE DOES'NT MEAN THAT YOU KNOW MOST OF THE FACTS.I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE KADIMA OUT OF POWER BUT I RESPECT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE EVEN IF I DON'T LIKE IT.
13. to #3
Nadav ,   misgav   (08.29.06)
Why I don't march? Because I am not a puppet of Liebermann, Bibi and anything to the right of them. Because I think that it weakens our country to go to elections at this point since it breaks our unity completely. I rather swallow hard the see everything apart. A lot of countries wait for that.
14. Nasralla vs. Olmert
Sam ,   Petach Tikva   (08.29.06)
Nasralla has some positive atributes that Olmert doesn't have. One, he, Nasralla is honest and hence we must believe him when he states he wants to destroy us, and two, he admits to his mistakes . Olmert is dancing the TCHA,TCHA, TCHA, namely, To Cover His (you know what)
15. Reservist: PM Laughing
ray ,   manchester usa   (08.29.06)
The protests are revealing ; only a handful..If the Israeli public had any character ,there would be THOUSANDS in the street demanding that Olmert & Co resign. WHAT SHEEP.
