1. How to actually achieve something with this meeting
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (04.13.07)
Let them keep Olmert in exchange for Shalit. We get our young soldier back, and they get someone who has caused untold damage to Israel.
2. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (04.13.07)
For the pali terrorists to take Olmert - and thankfully keep him!
3. Hamas Still Governs Abbas
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (04.13.07)
This is all for show, both by Abbas and Olmert. As long as Hamas controls the PA, any discussions are futile and will achieve nothing. There is a road map, (and UN 242) which clearly spells out a peaceful resolution of this 100 year old conflict. In the absense of violence and terror, negotiations will lead towards 2 states, which must live in peace with one another. Other sensitive problems (Jerusalem-refugees-security-demilitarization), will be discussed afterwards, leading towards full recognition by the Arab-Muslim world of Israel. So what's the rub? The prisoner release is ancillary but would be a good faith gesture on both sides (assuming those released would not repeat their crimes). But, realistically, 5m Muslims must accept they will never live in Israel proper. Frankly, without Hamas and Hezbollah cooperation, I don't see any progress any time soon, but a continuation of the conflict, leading no where.
4. SINCE ABBAS GOT SO MUCH AID, NOTICE HOW NICE HE DRESSES NOW?
OLMERT DRESSES NICE ,   NOTHING ELSE TO SAY   (04.13.07)
5. Abbas never gets enough of this BS; the leadership Israel &
gill ,   USA   (04.13.07)
US wants for Palestinians.
6. No to meeting
Brod ,   USA   (04.13.07)
Olmert should stop meeting with the dark forces who are hellbent on the destruction of Israel as their Charter stipulates. Their maps do not show Israel. Their school textbooks teach kids to hate Jews. Don't be deceived and manipulated by the dark forces. Israel should remain strong in confronting those who are hellbent on destroying her.
7. ZERO + ZERO = ZERO
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.13.07)
No matter how you add it up, a meeting between these two useless political creeps comes out to zero. What a waste of time.
8. Olmert and Winograd
hymie ,   ottawa   (04.13.07)
On the Mosnews.com website, Olmert says that the Russians don't want Iran nuclear armed and he believes it. He is brain dead to say this as Russia is supplying Iran with everything. This is why his office is trying to stall Winograd. When the transcript of his evidence comes out, the public will kick him out.
9. FLUSH OLMERT...
malcolm   (04.13.07)
...AND LIVNI
10. If Pals. want to become a respected nation,
Jake   (04.13.07)
why do they condone kidnapping? We're still wating for them to at least "appear" to behave like a real country.
11. Get this idiot out of Office
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (04.13.07)
Get this idiot out of Office. How long must this traitor stay in office. Where is Bibi??
12. Mr. Olmert, you take this carefully, watch out their move :)
ben ,   singapore   (04.13.07)
13. Keep Olmert & return Shalit
David E. ,   Jerusalem   (04.13.07)
14. Wow we are meeting again! Always longing for this reunian
Daniel ,   Israel   (04.13.07)
"Hi my old friend, how are you, and your family?" "If you have any problems with your people; you can always turn to Israel" "What would you have? See this in new wine, as always no one else will like it; except Israelis, but since you are from almost same area you can try it." "By the way, how is Gilad? Is he eating and drinking properly? Has he put on some kilos? Don't feed him more; he has to go back to his petrol duty, when ever you release him." His release? No worry, it’s left to you, more over time is not right, release him on my word just before the elections" "Okay, bye for now. Next meeting? We will fix it when there is too much of noise again." "Till then, take care"
