I'm just wondering whether Olmert, before agreeing to give away Jerusalem and settle millions of "Palestinian refugees" in Israel, mentioned this morning's rocket attack on Sderot to Abbas. However, I suspect that doing anything about Palestinian terrorism is simply not a subject on the agenda.

Thank you

Either we have a referendum or nothing should be agreed upon until AFTER elections. A PM with a 97% disapproval rating has no mandate to negotiate. Look at the coalition: Kadima - a bunch of unprincipled political hacks & opportunists who could not win 12 seats in the Knesset if elections were held today. Labour - bankrupt in more ways than one. Could they even manage to get 10 seats in the Knesset? Shas - does not even deserve a comment. Pensioners Party - this is really pathetic. Lieberman - why is he still in the coalition? Big speeches and .....??? Our negotiator is a convicted sex-offender (Mr Ramon). And we are negotiating with an irrelevent nobody who has little support among his own people & represents a terrorist group of thieves & thugs & who may form a Unity Gov't with Hamas at any time. If any of our MK's had even the slightest interest in the security of the country, they would resign.

Two lame duck leaders wishing each other goodbyes... Hamas is not about to go away and cannot be put down by either of these two idiots. kadima has no further history in Israel. and the mood in israel, as a direct result of the gaza pullout, is highly resistant to allowing any more land gifts to any arab anywhere near them. so what are these two idiot lame ducks really meeting about...?

from Sederot??? (And elsewhere.) Or you are too busy hearing Abbas' s side of the story???!!!

guess who's who? both can certainly qualify.

Several near-lynchings in past week, officials say http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3442724,00.html G-D NEVER changes! G-D's Laws NEVER change! G-D commanded: YOU SHALL NOT MURDER Who will not fear this great and mighty G-D? My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments. Psalm 119 Muslims are deeply aware of the great importance to Jews of obeying G-D's Laws and that Jews are merciful as G-D is merciful - therefore, Muslims walk and live with great confidence and without any fear whatsoever in Jewish neighborhoods in Israel, US, UK, Europe, Australia, etc.

OLMERT AND COMPANY FORGET WITH WHOM THEY'RE DEALING

You talkbackers are sounding like old, worn out has beens. Youve had the satisfaction of wallowing in the going nowhere status quo, of trying to ridicule the recent efforts and its only you people who sound totally ridiculous, shallow and foolish. There is a gathering momentum for peace both in Israel and the Palestinians in the WB. The wings of change for the good are blowing. We should not leave any stone unturned in the search for a resolution. So lets stop the bickering, the snyde remarks on talkback and lets get into some serious dialogue about ways forward. Salaam and Shalom!

Shiloh youre so screwed up you wouldnt see a Peace Settlement with the Palestinians even if it hit you in the face! Take a few steps back and see whats happening. These are the first few steps being taken at last to build trust, to listen and to negotiate. Yes express and articulate your concerns but to ridicule the process could betray the narrow minded, bigoted attitudes that many people of goodwill from boths sides are seeking to abandon.

Stop the Racism - Stop the Wicked Ethnic Jew Cleansing! STOP the EVIL JEW-HATE! Shortly after the 1967 Six-Day War, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff submitted their report stating Israel can only be defensible if it retains Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan, the tip of the Sinai, Sharm El-Sheikh and all of Jerusalem.

If you studied history, you would quickly learn we are dealing with terrorists from Jordan. A non-people who invented their existance. They are determined to eradicate Israel. They cannot be trusted and if you lived with them, you would learn so quickly. Send the Jews here, you take the Arabs and give them a better life, it's a win win situation. I like all these armchair critics who don't live here. Mind your own business as it's our situation to deal with. Israel belongs to the Jews, whether you approve or not is completely irrelevant. Esav's day is over, get used to it.

You know maybe just maybe he will be able to pull it off. A very slim chance but again just maybe. Stranger things have occurred. Just maybe Olmert will pull it off. The chances are as good as a national lottery. Maybe less??((::

Sit for a moment and think What you suggest is perpetuating a situation thats unsustainable for both Israel and the Palestinians. Surely there is no better security for all of us than lasting peace. You have got to look beyond your wall of fear and suspicion to see whats going on today. Thers is a mood change amongst the Palestinians in the WB and many many Israelis and both Abbas and Olmert have the courage and strength to translate that mood into action.

You are the only person that seems to know what you are talking about,abbas and fatah are complete crooks,so no real partners on that side. But Olmert and kadima are no better its like two stupid crooks meeting each other with nothing better to do then scratch thier asses. Isreal needs a strong leader to push any kind of peace through,i"m sorry but Olmert aint the man for that. As for the Palestinians,they need a leader full stop. No peace on the horizan for many years yet then.

When the Romans were in control many years ago, they took over Judea and named it palestine after Israels most hated enemies, the Jews. There never was a palestine to begin with. In 1312 b.c. king David founded the city of Jerusalem, thats 2,000 years before the rise of islam. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the koran yet its mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish holy scriptures. Mohammed never walked in Jerusalem in his earthly life and Jesus did, what does that tell you? God gave that land to Abraham and to all the Jews. It's says that in the bible. God will deliver Israel from his enemies. God bless Israel and the I.D.F.
