31. Peace with Syria? Haven't you had
Joe ,   Ohio, USa   (06.08.07)
enough of the peace with the Hezi's and Pali's? The price of peace with Israel is that THEY give up the Golan! Olmert is truely nuts!
32. they used to hang or shoot traitors!
ben ,   gush etzion   (06.08.07)
Today they elect them to office!
33. #30
mike ,   Jerusalem   (06.08.07)
Olmert would give his mother away to stay in office!
34. Calm down folks
meg ,   israel   (06.08.07)
if its so secret how did Ynet get it? a fly on the wall. Sensationalizim...dont really beleive, do you, that Olmert has a death wish? Think he has bombed enough during his time in office. Talks, lets say if true and we all know anything is possible is like a new tree takes a while to bare fruit and this isnt the first time giving back the Golan has been spoken about. We dont know what tomorrow brings, so lets all try and keep our cool for now. I just hope and pray they will look to what happens in Sderot and our southern communities now before doing anything that suicidal. Returning of the Golan will be an even bigger blunder!
35. stop it people ?
haim ,   mtl canada   (06.08.07)

36. This does it, Olmert out!
Uzi ,   Haifa   (06.08.07)
37. Olmarts bravery
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (06.08.07)
In trying to understand Olmart it finally dawned on me just why he is so willing to sacrifice the next 10 Jewish generations to live in constant fear of war and terror, this is my take Olmart has sent his sons to live outside of Israel and is trying to finically provide for them and their next generations, his future generations will not be subject to his decisions. So why does care if the Golan Heights is returned to murderers for a piece of paper, he knows very well that he will be very handsomely rewarded by the world powers for committing his nation to an act of suicide he and his children and future grandchildren will no suffer the consequences they will only benefit from the huge amount of money they will inherit and the heck with the stupid Israeli’s that allowed themselves to be led by a selfish old tired man that, using his own words “is to tired to fight anymore” the terrible leadership shown during the Lebanon crises adopting the false mantra of “there is no military solution to the continual bombardment of the cities bordering Gaza, his appointing crooks and other degenerates as Israeli ministers. So why not anoint himself as the smartest person in the whole world capable of resolving and bring a halt to a ideological war that has lasted for over 1000 years, The true blame for this clear and imminent danger rest on the Israeli electorate that have no courage to send him and his, either stupid or just plain corrupt government packing and find leaders that are having Israel’s interests first and foremost in contemplating any decisions when acting on their behalf.
38. To 10
Yusuf ,   Delhi, India   (06.08.07)
First reveal your identity, so that i can show your history.
39. Sick
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (06.08.07)
The ingredients for the next Syrian war has been laid. Who is Israel to dictate who a dictator sleeps with? Plus the world in five years will lose the word Terror groups altogether, since terror works, why give it up? A leader can always claim, 'it wasn't us, it was the extremists', after mounting deaths on the Israel side.
40. Arssad would gladly agree
john ,   nz   (06.08.07)
simply becos Olmert is stupid enuf to believe Arssad. What happens next? Arssad will use Golan Ht. to launch Iranian missiles into Israel. Don't say I din warn ya
41. Olmert and Burg: same fabric
FO ,   Belgium   (06.08.07)
In his victory speech, the new elected french president, Mr Sarkozy pronounced a sentence that passed rather unnoticed. He said: I'll put an end to repentance, this form of self-hatred". Never an israeli poitician said such words. On the contrary, the israeli leadership is sick of repentance, not as one could suppose towards their own population, but towards the enemies of their country. That is the reason that Olmert is ready to withdraw from the Golan Heights, a territory that was destinated to be integral part of the Jewish National Home as voted unanimously by the League of Nations the 24th of July 1922. Britain who was appointed Mandatory of Palestine, breached article number 5, and ceded the Golan Heights to France, the mandatory of Syria in 1923! They breached also article 6 by impossing the "White Paper " policy, bringing almost to an end Jewish immigration to Palestine. This perfidious act transformed Britain into a collaborator of Nazi Germany in the extermination of euopean jewry. Unfortunately left Zionism at that time did not react as one could expect and hope ( read the book of Tom Segev: The Seventh Million.) All this should be hidden from the israeli public, and has been swept under the carpet. Even more: the original document of the League of Nations voted the 24th of July 1922, "disappeared" from the archives of the league, in Genève. Fortunately the text reproduced in the official journal of the League is available on Internet. Having read this, dear reader, try to make up your mind on what is going on!
42. That would be a miracle
MK ,   USA   (06.08.07)
Like a dream come true. I cannot believe what I am reading. I wishhhh they make peace. It will be one of the most historical events of this century. PLEASE DO IT.
43. don't give up anything.
Bram   (06.08.07)
don't they have enough land already?
44. Israel NOT Willing To Give Up Golan.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.08.07)
Olmert is willing. Which is why we need a referendum. Which is why we need elections. Which is why Lieberman & Shas should quit the coalition. BY the way, this is why we need reform of our political system - to make MK's accountable to the electorate not just to their party. If we could vote for individual MK's & not a party list, MK's would be forced to listen to their constituancy or lose their jobs.
45. Olmert does not speak for the people
freejay ,   Israel   (06.08.07)
He has no right to make decisions like this. It is up to the people and a national referendum......not him, to decide and i can tell you that 90% would vote against it. Why arent we having early elections and getting rid of this appeasing fool. Shame on the opposition for being so silent so they can retain their positions. WE NEED ACTION NOW.......OLMERT MUST GO BEFORE ITS TOO LATE AND ISRAEL IS DESTROYED!!!
46. Lets give it ALL away
Brian ,   Kent, UK   (06.08.07)
At this rate there won't be anymore of Israel to give away. It seems that Israel gets intimidated by 'bully boy' tactics. Almost everyone in the world now despises Israel, almost everyone, Except for God and a minority of Israel loving Christians. Get Olmert out of office before he holds a raffle for the rest of the Jewish state.
47. golan
colin   (06.08.07)
Nobody in Israel except olmert wants to withdraw from the golan heights.Fortunately there is now a law stateing a referandumm of the nation before the cowardly corrupt idiotic olmert can promise the americans we will vacate the golan.Why does olmert not give his house to the arabs??
48. severing of all ties to regional terror groups, ALL, ALL?
observer   (06.08.07)
As the world has no agreement on the definition of terror and idetification of terror group; you are going nowhere. By the Syrian definition of terror , Syrian has to cut its to be ties with Israel while it's cutting its ties with all groups & countries that Israel eyes as terrorists. Is it a complete submission of Syria to Israel? Is it blasting of the peace by asking the vague and most likely the impossible ?
49. #20 is a thinly veiled personal threat against olmert
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (06.08.07)
50. now i understand the meaning of '' RODEF"
reuven ,   usa   (06.08.07)
get this fool out of goverment otherwise we wont have israel.
51. GOLAN is not his dad place that he wants to return
reuven ,   usa   (06.08.07)
we give you olmert for nothing.
52. MR OLMERT, YOU ARE DANGEROUSE FOR ISRAEL
dr manuch ,   usa   (06.08.07)
GO TO HELL.GOLAN IS PART OF BIBLICAL ISRAEL
53. Golan is Syrian
George ,   USA   (06.08.07)
You took it in 1967 because Syria wanted to destroy Israel. If Syria signs a peace deal with Israel, then it’s a recognition of Israel from Syria! That means that Lebanon will also recognize Israel, and both Syria and Lebanon will be like Egypt and Jordan. Did Egypt and Jordan ever attack you after the peace agreements? No! Now yes the Palestinians throw rockets from Gaza but that's only because Israel has yet to give back the 1967 lands to the Palestinians. Now Arabs are ready to accept an Israel as it used to be in 1948. Humiliation for you to give up the land of 67? Maybe. but its also a humiliation for the Arabs to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, please try and understand this. People need to compromise, at the end people will forget the humiliation. People will live in peace.
54. YOU WILL NEVER GET PEACE FOR LAND, NEVER..
BB   (06.08.07)
even more troubles, yes...
55. OLMERT: NOT ONE WORD FOR THE RETURN OF KIDNAPPED SOLDIERS !
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (06.08.07)
No referendum was done for AZA, as per Maariv's poll June before evacuation, 64 % of all Isareli population (arabs included) was against it My bet is that 80% will be against pullout Golan I can make do with 50.1% too. Instead MKs were used to give some "legitimacy" to what they were not voted for, included most of the LIKUD MKs of course REFERENDUM OF UPRISING Nuff is Nuff
56. NO TERRITORIAL CONCESSIONS WITH OR WITHOUT A REFERENDUM !!!!
Poitcha ,   Israel   (06.08.07)
57. This will bring peace? Wake up man!
(06.08.07)
You've been around long enough to know that peace is not what the arabs want but the death of israel.
58. Thanks No. 46 - you said it.
Jon ,   UK   (06.08.07)
59. Syrian proposal
Sami ,   Syria   (06.08.07)
Well, since there is Israelis and Syrian in Golan and some problem in how to remove the Israelis "if" and once peace is achieved, why don’t we just make the Golan a sort of "Monaco" (but should belong to Syria) that is in some sort independent from both countries, where we could install local leaders (Syrian and Israeli equally) to have a say on daily matters in the Golan.
60. Referendum on Golan
Observor ,   India   (06.08.07)
When Israelis vote for the issues such as Golan , Gaza ,West bank , Settlements , Barricade wall and so many issues . The out come with be nothing . Israelis wants to occupy others land and justify this occupation in the name of Lord of Israel. George from Usa is totally correct . In real its Israelis who dont want any solution coz Israelis think taht they are very powerful coz of 250 nukes. Here Israelis talk every time about the terrorism by Arabs but forget everytime taht the state of Israel is also formed by terror only . Israel can target any one who is danger to its security in occupied Palestine as well as Lebanon and can fly F 16 on Damascus. neighbouring countries of Israel are using proxies and its even hurting Israel and more and more people are joining aganist Israel coz Israel is occupying. Occupation is occupation , no one can justify it ,as terrorism is terrorism . Occuaption is called State Terrorism.
