You and your Kadima have been such a disappointment and a shame on the Jewish People.It is better that you bunch stay out of power or hold any position in the Israeli Parliament. It has been a displeasure. At the same I just dont know where you all will go ? Stay in Israel peacefully for the rest of your life. Repent ! Go Away but stay home ! The soul Hurting.You and your kadima bunch made us all cry in these short period . : - (
10. what a shame
Maroun ,   Lebanon   (05.02.07)
i didn't believe Nasrallah when he said that Israel society and Gov. are so weak to accept any defeat and deal with it. i don't know, is it related to religion that you can not admitt the loss. See how you are not respecting each other and everybody is trying to kick others ass and remove the load from his shoulders (that is not honorable). i don't want to comment any more but i am wondering how, even if what Levni said is not wrong, she can say it since she is #2 in Cadima and in Gov. She wants to sit in his place.
11. Olmert ot Livni? If this is the choice
Cato theYounger ,   USA   (05.02.07)
then the only way out is a military putsch.At this lowest point ever in Israel's political and military history, there is no other solution. The only other way Israel can get out of this is ...suicide.
12. One coward woman
Alex ,   LA, USA   (05.02.07)
I believe that her handlers told her to support Olmert 100% during the war because that was her only way to PM after Olmert would make many mistakes.
13. livin , you are a disgrace!
oded   (05.02.07)
show real charcter and quit the govt and your post. actions will speak al ot louder then your hollow statements!
14. Livni Should Resign
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (05.02.07)
She is a nobody, an incompetent foreign minister, a weakling who will give the country away to be popular with the anti-Semites of the world. She will destroy Israel if she becomes PM. Save yourselves and remove her before it is too late.
15. Why not fire Livni?
Allan ,   USA   (05.02.07)
Mr. Olmert and Ms. Livni are birds of a feather. We need new leaders, uncorrupted by submission to American dictates.
16. It would be nobel on her part
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (05.02.07)
If it were not for her own true goals and obvious incompetence
17. All of Kadima should resign
new elections ,   Israel   (05.02.07)
18. Livni ,Show him how it's done !
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.02.07)
You are just another puppet politician who is easliy manipulated. You are out of your league. Just another yes,yes maam of Condi Rice and George Bush ! Go back home and bake cookies for the children.
19. Olmert - just bite the bullet and resign
johanna ,   tsfat   (05.02.07)
20. Olmert offers to improve security by studying Winograd
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (05.02.07)
but as National Union MK Arie Eldad so beautifully put it this morning on the Voice of Israel English News, if you had a workman in to decorate your house and he completely botched the job, and then he said he'd study his mistakes and make the necessary repairs, you'd tell him to get out - you just wouldn't want to see him again. Olmert and his gang are just holding on to power for their own interests and not for the good of the country.
21. Going down the same path of finding the new road?
Steve ,   USA   (05.02.07)
B"H There are other forces in this picture that would rather keep on going down the same path for Israel. Begin had a similar problem and it persists with the second Lebanon war, which indicates that this path is not dependent on specific party or individual. It is a more general problem with the Jewish people and its leadership. Unless Olmert takes the necessary steps, these forces are looking to prevail, leaving Israel in a difficult situation that could be prevented in my eyes if Olmert takes his responsibility seriously as a guider of public opinion. That is even more important than if he is fired or not. If he can keep the eye on the ball, I think he can be successful. He actually has to lead. If he could volunteer to meet with the Arabs and show that he is a leader of the Jewish people, the next test is if he can put himself aside and look at his reflection in the Jewish people. His reflection is what matters; that is what leadership is about. If he steps up to the plate now, I see the possibility for him to be successful. It is like Moses who was asked to talk to the rock. The Prime Minister has a dire choice to make, and he has the choice to reform himself and go forward leading the Jewish people or to bow out. I understood that Moses bowed out out of his own choice and that was what was referred to later by G-d. The only way for men to be free is if they have the opportunity for success or failure.
22. #17 there were elections only few months ago
Aviad ,   Hadera   (05.02.07)
and the right wing lost - Deal with it.
23. Backstabbing
Nemesis   (05.02.07)
What a two faced bitch...when this gov't goes,she better go with it,never to return!
24. # 22 Aviad
Kissel   (05.02.07)
"and the right wing lost - Deal with it." Yeah, and the left wing was found incompatant - Deal with it!
25. Olmert should indeed sack Livni now
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (05.02.07)
For all his faults, and allowing for the disaster of the war, I believe that Olmert is a more honourable person than Livni. She is a self-seeker who is willing to appease Israel's enemies. I'd guess that Olmert's resignation as Prime Minister is inevitable sooner or later, and also that Kadima as a political party is certain to disintegrate, but in the meanwhile Olmert should get rid of Livni and replace her with someone who will put the interests of Israel first.
26. Amazing
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.02.07)
Funny how public she made her "advice" to her boss, partly leader, and colleague. With friends like this who needs enemies? Just another self-serving useless politician with no moral/ethical fiber. Let them all resign--Kadima a party formed in trechery gives the expected result at every turn.
27. Steve (21), please pass the hookah...
sk ,   USA   (05.02.07)
B"H Dude, ilmert is as capable of being Moses as he is of being Marilyn Monroe. He lacks integrity, and he has not a single outstanding merit except for being impressively industrious in corruption. There is a reason why he was so way down the party list before Sharon moved him high in the cabinet. He is hardly the one who should be "given the choice" to remain.
28. # 22 Aviad, just one more thing
Kissel   (05.02.07)
"Nasrallah praises Israel's 'admission of defeat'" Great work, what Roll Models the left are, don't forget to thank Olmert and Livni. They are responsable for lives of Israeli soldiers, your future generation, in a series of bungles and SNAFU's during the war. PERIOD
29. Larry #25 Please. There is nothing honorable...
Allen ,   USA   (05.02.07)
in either Mr. Olmert or Ms. Livini. Why do you say Mr. Olmert is (more) honorable. He has zero honor. Zero.
30. Blind Leading the Stupid
Aharon ,   Teaneck, USA   (05.02.07)
Between Peres' delusional and rather pathetic comments this evening about Kadima, Livni's lack of courage, Olmert's utter lack of shame and respect for the people he governs, and the overall behaviour of Israel's MKs who only seem to care about preserving their drunken orgy in the Knesset, it is hard to envision Israel surviving another 10 years. This is a real moment of truth for the Israeli people and Jews in the Disapora. Either we clean house, or the rotten core is going to finally break apart and the dream is over. Why is aliya not really all that appealing to those of us who might otherwise make the move? With this type of morality, Israel isn't worth living in.
