The media must stop calling this farce a "truce". It must be described for what it is: a fraud perpetrated against the Israeli people by their own Govt. The policy of "restraint" must also be described for what it is: gutless appeasement that Neville Chamberlain would be proud of. SHAME SHAME SHAME on the pathetic Israeli so-called "Govt" of weaklings.

Our resident genius Olmert wanted to get his picture in the international press so he gave the Pals $100 million dollars, promised to release prisoners, and exposed Israelis to being murdered by agreeing to reduce security checks. What did we get in return? Kassams on our strategic facilities in Ashkelon. Olmert is a Jew-hating secular political hack who would destroy Israel and Jews to get his name in the international goyim press.

The Olmert Govt. is just waiting for there to be a sizable body count in order to justify retaliating. It's pitiful.

Mr. Diskin what calm are you talking about. There is no calm, only one attack after another. Knesset members wake up before it is too late.

Olmert has a yellow streak where his backbone should be.

Someone wrote the other day that Olmert is an efes gadol i couldn't agree more

The only difference between Olmert and Sharon is that Sharon is lying down!

lest we spoilt the calm. LOL! Is madness a disease?

Reporting the location hit is aiding and abetting the enemy. I don't understand the media in this country.

it is going to be good start to understand the play behind the closed doors. Media is not innocent. trust me. they take sides .) #1 you right my friend. they didnt publish my other comments too :) bad friends there :)

Abbas and his PA henchmen will pocket a good chunk of the $100 million that Olmert released. The big question is, how much of the $100 million will be kicked back under the table to Olmert and overseas accounts of his children?

Yes it is and it's infectious. Just look at who sits around the cabinet table on Sunday morning to see how contagious it is

Agrre with Yakov. Perhaps the genius thinks wanking is the capital of China - only he will know the answer to that!

To the author of the article (Anat B): Please inform us who the "Palestinian gunmen " who fired those rockets work for. Is it the PA, Hamas, islamic Jihad? And exactly who is holding the Israeli soldier prisoner? Your story is very incomplete without that infomation.

HaShem is looking after His people. Israel, you may lose faith in your leaders, but do not lose faith in your G-D.

In the first Gulf war a stupid CNN reported was on a tal building in Tel Aviv and announced the relative distance and direction that the missile missed a critical target in Israel. Israel pulled the plug on the report mid-sentence and justifiably so. The difference is that the rockets were being launched from Iraq and we don't know the "smarts" of the technology. We do know that the technology of the Qassam is very stupid. They have no serious trajectory controls and they didn't know which Qassam they launched actually hit a target. But in principle you are correct that we should not be helping our enemy in any way.

I don't know what peace plan Olmert is talking about, but he's not standing underneath the rockets. I"m sure all that aid rolling into Gaza will enable the purchase of more rockets. However, Iran usually gives the weapons away to Palestine.

I do believe the $100 million dollars was the Palestinians anyway. Olmert simply tried to make himself look very generous by giving money that was theirs in the first place..
