This ist the second time that the Olmert/Peretz government has handed over/authorized guns to the Arabs. This is absurd. There is no logical reason to give our enemies weapons which everyone knows will one day be used to kill us. It is patently immoral. Rabin did this, too, and we all know what happened since.

Everybody know that these weapons eventually will come in the hands of Hamas or any other terror groups. Olmert if I ever see you I will slap you silly!

Whoever wins the power struggle between Al Fatah and Hamas, Israel loses. Instead of staying out of Arabs internal affairs, Olmert's leading country deeper into abys by backing Al Fatah. Taking into consideration the sheer stupidity, immorality, insanity and the lack of vision and understanding of the Olmert regime, it's probably backing the loser anyway. It's like a looser backing another loser.

thanks olmert you moron

This man is completely mad. Stop him now ! These guns will be used against jews, against Israel. Is it what he wants ? Olmert is a criminal.

This is crazy. Reading this article I hold my head in my hands in disbelieve. That the olmerts should allow the egiptians to supply 2.000 rifles and 20.000 magazins through an unnamed border crossing to our enemies is just as crazy as allowing them to smuggle untold thousands of rifles and bombs under the border in tunnels. It is clear the olmerts are selling out this contry. They must be removed from power now, before they do further damage and replaced by people who have a connection to the Jewish people, the Torah and to the Land of Israel.

why don't the Egyptians stop the smuggling of weapons into Gaza?

Olmert is a disaster everyone knows it and we have begun to expect him to do whatever it is that will damage Israel. But where is the opposition? Where are our Right-wing leaders? Open your mouth for goodness sake and try leading. There must be extreme weakness in the Right camp if a looser like Olmert is able to remain in power.

Olmert is too old to learn. Need to get rid of him ASAP

Do not use them to kill Israelis Do not use them for human target practice Do not sell them to the highest bidder Do not leave them lying around Do not abuse them

today..today today today there should be a vote of no confidence. then they should send him to court to see if he can be considered a traitor! hes a shame to israel hes an embarrasement to all jews, The americans must be laughing what an ass is this guy is..arming the enemy...what a putz

i can't help myself from laughing at your prime minister mistakes and this is a really foolish one...Believe me even there is internal fights between fatah and hamas but it will end and we'll use all the weapons we have against u the occupiers (zionist)

-He handed them Gaza -Let them import all the weapons they wanted -Handed them a magnificent victory in Lebanon and turned their man Nasrallah into a hero -Let Hizbollah re-arm to almost double their previous strength -handed over land captured in 67 to the UN in Lebanon for nothing in return -Plays "tough" but actually pre-negotiated the handing over of the Golan to Assad (undoubtedly). -gave Hamas a "cease fire" so they can copy Hizbollah and prepare to destroy Israel And the cherry on top is he keeps feeding Abbas weapons and cash which will be used against Israelis. He did more for the ayatollahs in less than one year than they ever dreamed of . Oh, how they dance in Tehran and celebrate the prime ministership of Ehud Olmert. He is The Iranian Man of the Year! Happy new year Ehud!!! You truly deserve the title and recognition you are getting in Tehran.

Olmert allows Fatah more guns when history and common sense tells you that they will be used against Jews. Olmert releases $100 million to the Arabs while the Jews who were ethnicly cleansed from Gaza languish homeless, jobless and penniless. 60 Kassams have been fired at Israel since the "cease fire" causing serious injuries and destruction and Olmert refuses to respond. And now he's planning to dismantle roadblocks to make it easier for the terrorists he's planning to release to wage violence against Jews. Wake up Israel before Olmert puts you on boats and sends you packing. Olmert is working for the best interests of the Arabs and working against the Jews. The best thing you say about Olmert is that he is terminally stupid, but I have a better word for him, traitor.

with the majority of the responders that the clown and his court is pulling a ahab and jezebel routine on the Jewish people and land, under the guise of Democratzia..... and it will only be a matter of time before these weapons will murder Jews living in Yesha. I fully encourage the Jews in these areas to finally sever the tie with this Hellenistic government and defend themselves. While the IDF is theoritically set up to defend Jews, its mission is of late better suited to defend our enemies, I say this with a heavy heart since I and my sons have served in combat defending Jews. Jews living in our Biblical heartland MUST realize that the Hellenists are targeting their very existence, and will harass their daily life till it becomes unbearable to live in HEVRON, SHILO, BEIT EL, ITAMAR, OFRAH, KARMEI SHOMRON, ELI, KIRYAT ARBA, etc.......... A order to turn a blind eye to Yishmaelite gangs roaming and endangering Jews will be whispered to top IDF commanders, ask the residents of SDEROT Against this background hellenist courts will team with thugs within the police to harrass residents of areas to be cleansed. IT is time for torah observent JEWS to seperate ourselves from EVIL as the Rabbis state, this confrontation will force the hellenists to understand who is the master of this land These hellenists are like their ancestors only good at harassing Jews//////// It only takes a Mattayahu to stand up and.say to them and the goyim............Hashem gave this land to the Jewish Nation, we are his children and the lands masters............

How Olmert can justify his decision ? Plastenian have enough guns that pass from Egypt every day. Once again Thanks Olmert you make the killing of the jews a little easier.

as part of his ongoing capitulation to the arab terrorists

Point #1 in the Road Map to peace was disarming those who would harm Israel. THE USA and ISRAEL are both guilty of violating the real intent and spirit of the Road Map. (Did anyone bother to ask where this roadmap is supposed to lead us?) Mike

This man is Insane this goverment is insane. When will the Israeli people do something about this madness. BIBI where are you?

There is little doubt that, as in the past, these arms will be used against Israelis. When (not if) this occurs, then Oldmerde and his company of morons will have become nothing more than traitors and terrorists acting against Israel. As any terrorist , Oldmerde and his society of morons will have to be arrested , tried ,and imprisoned.

A dangrous move.

they are under occupation and should not have any firearms at all not even pistols, their "police" can have tazer stun guns and maybe CS gas or pepper spray. they should not be allowed to have anything that can be made into a bomb or incendiary. no petrol; no gas; no sugar; no flour; no ammonia or nitrate chemical fertilisers (they should use natural fertilisers) - no welding gear - can be used to make rockets - welders would have to come in teams from outside to build and repair metro. because of no petrol they would need a nice electric metro and some bicycle rickshaws, because of no flour or sugar they could build a bakery on the egyptian side (maybe some would go and work there and live out of gaza which is very crowded)
