1. Stop this madness!
freejay ,   Israel   (09.10.07)
Abass hasnt even changed the Palastinian charter !!! Why doesnt Olmert mention this? Surely that would be the first pre-requisite He only pretends to want peace in order to recieve money and land and Olmert the Appeaser is all too willing to comply. ELECTIONS NOW!!!!!!! WE AREALL SICK OF OLMERT TRYING TO DESTROY ISRAEL!
2. The road map of failure
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.10.07)
Olmert does not miss an opportiunty to reward the Palestinian's for bad behavior. Always rewardoing evil and punishing good ,this evil Olmert. When in the 14 years since the U.S. led Olso,Road Map farce have the Palestinians ever given one ,just one goodwill gesture to Israel ? With Shait imprisoned ,it is no time for goodwill to any Palestinain's. It is always the U.S. pressure on Israel which motivates these goodwill gestures which only show Israeli weakness and stupidity. Rice Bush tell Olmert to help the 'poor,weak,needy terrorist leader Abbas. It always fails and weakens Israel more. The puppet olmert does not arrest Sheikh Saleh for incitement ,that law is only to be used against Jews who do not go along with his and Bush's evil plan to dismsmber Israel.'They wil;l have hell to pay.
3. Spineless Traitor
MK ,   Atlanta,USA   (09.10.07)
Hey, Olmert, how about trying to get Shalit released before you turn loose another 100 PLO fanatics? Bastard.
4. PARDON ME...WHO?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (09.10.07)
SINCE ISRAEL IS A SECULAR STATE,IF RAMADAN IS A SUFFICIENT REASON TO PARDON THOSE OF THE MOSLEM FAITH WHAT IS IT THAT PRECLUDES A SIMILIAR SITUATION FOR ROSH HASHANAH FOR JEWS.? AM I WRONG IN MY ASSUMPTION THAT THIS DOES NOT OCCUR,OR SHOULD EVERY FAITH ( E.G.THE CHRISTIANS AT CHRISTMAS) HAVE A PARTICULAR TIME ALLOTED TO IT FOR AMNESTY FOR ITS PRISONERS I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE ALLOTED TIME FOR ALL PRISONERS SHOULD NOT BE FULFILLED UNLESS ...THERE IS POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY OR ...IT IS TO CLEAR OUT THE JAILS TO MAKE PLACE AND TO WELCOME IN ,SOME NEWCOMMERS
5. And WHERE are the Arabs' good-will gestures?????
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (09.10.07)
Olmert is not just a corrupt, self-seeking politician - he is actively doing great damage to Israel and COMPLETELY WITHOUT A MANDATE. He has given millions in cash and weapons to Fatah terrorists, he has stopped the IDF from protecting Jewish lives, he refuses to protect Jewish children from daily missile attacks on their schools, he has released terrorists so that they can kill more Jews, he wants to give Fatah even more Jewish land from which they can launch more terror attacks and missiles, and he is debasing Israeli and IDF morale every day. His Education Tzarina Tamir is actively eradicating Jewish and Zionist values from your children's lives. ISRAELIS, GET THIS MAN OUT OF OFFICE NOW BEFORE HE DESTROYS YOU. Your enemies rejoice every day that he is in office - they are LAUGHING at your complaisance and inaction. THROW PHARAOH OLMERT OUT for 5768! Do not let one more Jewish child be hurt or killed (chas v'shalom!) because of him!
6. WHAT A MESS, YOU DODN'T HAVE TO DO THIS, NO ONE IS WATCHING
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (09.10.07)
OLMERT KEEP TERRORISTS IN JAIL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GOVERNMENT'S MOTIVATION TO OVERRIDE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, WHY FREE CRIMINALS?
7. Release patriotic Jewish prisoners for Rosh Hashana!
Nannette ,   London   (09.10.07)
8. Why?
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Samaria   (09.10.07)
Why don't our Arab peace partners release our boys for Rosh Hashana as a goodwill gesture?
9. #3. Agree. 100%.
Helene ,   Israel   (09.10.07)
10. pardon who/
yehu ben zohar ,   jersualem, Israel   (09.10.07)
How long O Israel will you allow this madness to continue? Olmert is more fit to run Hamas than Israel. Where is the "good faith concessions" for Rosh Hashana? There will NEVER be any concessions by the Arabs, why should they? The IDIOT Olmert keeps bowing down like a good Dhimmi giving the Arabs everything and asking nothing in return. Olmert would be fired as a salesman for any reputable persian rug company. His idea of negotiation is lowering the price each time someone makes an offer, eventually he gives away the merchandise. No self respecting business owner would allow that type of bargaining. So why do the people of Israel allow this to continue? We all know why Olmert is emptying the jails, where else would he put the Jews that will be dragged out of their homes after he gives away Judea and Samaria? He needs those cells for Jews, he can't defend Sderot because he is training IDF forces to drag Jews from their homes, that is more important than protecting Israeli citizens. Wake up Israel.
11. release prisoners
sas ,   israel   (09.10.07)
dear mr. ohlmert. your words mean nothing. you do nothing. keep your mouh shut.
12. #2 Look Marcel, should clinton get in next year do you
JC ,   Israel/Usa   (09.10.07)
honestly think it will be any different? hillary will have her egotistical husband over here making sure HIS failed olso accord gets implemented even if he has to stay here and lead them by the hand each day. You are so myoptic in your hate for George Bush that you can't even possibly see what might be on the horizion tomorrow. Yes the US is wrong in trying to push this failed peace process forward. But this got started long before George Bush came on the scene. The state department is loaded with lifer employees whose only goal is to destroy Israel. Presidents come and presidents go, but the employees of the State Dept. last for years and years. And by the way, they have quite a few hard core muslims working there as well as those who are called upon on an advisory basis. So you really need to do your homework and try to locate the train that's really pushing this cargo forward. Quit taking your anger out on the Israeli people. Yes it is frustrating that they have become so damn complacent, and lethargic. And yes Olmert is a horrible leader, but just tell me one good thing that has come out of your almost daily message of hate? The only thing it's done is make you look rather small. Olmert and company NEVER see these talkbacks. So take a deep breath, get the blood pressure back down, and look for some other productive means to get your message out. Cause this one ain't working for you pal.
13. This will in no way be a good will gesture for the Israeli
citizens. Let's give ,   a GESTURE to Olmert!   (09.10.07)
14. #10 OMG I'm ROFL-ing
Wissam ,   Occupied Palestine   (09.10.07)
Your post was the best comedy I read this week. Honestly, I laughed so hard my ribs nearly cracked. I mean come on - were you serious now? you were?! Palestinians and Arabs giving nothing...Let's see, maybe because we've nothing to give? You control airspace, crossings, currency, trade, air, water, and hold 10,000 of our prisoners. What a beautiful "democracy" you have there - subjugating an entire people for 40 years and actually believing you're the victim! Way, way, too funny! Btw - where's "Judea" again? It's not in my dictionary.
15. and what of a Pali goodwill gesture ?
andrew ,   miami,fl   (09.10.07)
16. Dangerfield Award
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (09.10.07)
It has been announced that PM Olmert has been awarded the coveted and prestigious Rodney Dangerfield Award for Non-Sensical Agressive actions in a Forlorn and Fruitless Political Process. When asked about his new prize, the PM smirkingly chortled, and replied,..."I earned this gift from the people of Israel, who know that it is mine. I have earned the shocking lack of respect they have for me. It was earned the hard way; the old fashioned way. Through hookery and crookery, and the reckless disregard for their safety and welfare. Lets see if any of my detractors can do as well. I think not!"
17. welldone or just bloody?
Nabulsi   (09.10.07)
all we need is cigarettes and a little bit of food to our prisoners and the release of a few car theives and street thugs from Fatah to help abbass bring to the palestinians more problems in the name of nationalism and Fatah secularism. Olmert's arse must have had a good clean today by the professional arselickers Abbass, Fayyad and the rest of the Fatah paracites, so welldone everyone!!! I am sure Olmert cannot wait for the next arselicking session, he might even bring the rest of the israeli cabinet.
18. "2 leaders stressed commitment to two state solution"
Sam ,   Canada   (09.10.07)
It doesn't make sense. If the Palestinians continue demanding that 5 million Palestinian refugees be allowed into Israel, then the idea of two states is utter nonsense. Let's hear Abbas and Palestinian leaders say that they accept Israel as a Jewish-majority country. Otherwise, what's the point of these negotiations.
19. How about a pardon for...
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (09.10.07)
How about a pardon for the IDF soldiers who refused to take part in the Hebron expulsion?
20. GALIT SHALIT
YB   (09.10.07)
Are Galit & the others who were kidnapped home for the holidays?
21. Sham
Ali ,   Bahrain   (09.10.07)
Shame on u Abass Shammmm
22. And where's the "Goodwill Gesture" to your Jewish brethren?
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (09.10.07)
Arab terrorists - murderers of your Jewish brothers and sisters - you free from prison without any shame, while your Jewish brothers and sisters you throw out of their homes -also without any shame. One question Mr. Olmert: Are you the Prime Minister of Israel or the Prime Minister of Israel's enemies? Have you done anything worthwhile for your Jewis brothers and sisters in Israel this year-and-a-half since your self-appointed election?
23. abas
(09.10.07)
can you free shalit and other israeli prisoners for yom kipur? that will be a good gesture as well. what's good for the goose is good for the gander, no?
24. anything short of complete end of Jewish occupation in Palsn
r ,   florida   (09.10.07)
is BS and won't work.
25. #14
(09.10.07)
judeah is not in your books or map because your history is actually only 100 years old. where as judeah was king david's jewish empire for the past 4,000 years. the arab invents history. the jew has a history!
26. #14 the Laughs on you
Yehu Ben Zohar ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.10.07)
before 40 yrs ago, your"people" did not exist, you called yourselves, Syrians, lebanese, or Arabs, The Jewish people have been around for almost 4,000 yrs. No amount of propaganda can change that. Of all the nations that have tried to destroy the Jewish people, you are the most pathetic. Without the help of traitors like Olmert and Peres, etc you would have been sent back to your 7th century paradises years ago. Is it any wonder that your "arab" brothers want to have nothing to do with you? Lebanon showed Israel how it should handle rabble like you, if you notice, despite killing hundreds of 'freedom fighters" and "civilians", the world could care less, No newspapers crying about massacres, or ethnic cleansing, your brothers know what you are, dangerous maniacs, created for one purpose and one purpose only, as a weapon against the Jews. They don't want you in their countries, because you are like wild animals, dangerous to everyone. You are brainswashed killers who cannot function on any sane level. Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait and the others don't want you, you have no rights to vote, own land, or settle in their countries. If the Arabs themselves don't want you, who does? The UN and the EU support you because they hope you will rid them of the Jews, otherwise you would starve, you create nothing but death and destruction where ever you go.
27. Hahahahahah!
Eliyahu   (09.10.07)
Sure, to honor ramadan, Olmert releases prisoners. At precisely the same time, Hamas arrests arabs suspected of collaborating with Israel....to honor ramadan?! Ynet, maybe your editors should read all the articles and headlines before putting them out. You look kind of stupid.
28. Mr. Olmert, just say 'No' to Mr. Abbas.
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.10.07)
Tell him your people will allow no more concessions until the three soldiers are released, unharmed and healthy. If your 'peace-partner' cannot do this single action to build Israeli good-will, then cut off all contact with the self-serving, duplicitous terrorist. Before you eat another meal, have another photo-op, DEMAND THE RETURN OF THE SOLDIERS. My greatest fear is that they are all dead- (which is why Abbas can't produce them) and that Abbas has wormed hundreds of terrorists and millions of dollars from you. GET THE SOLDIERS BACK BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE. If you are not for Israel, who are you for??
29. ABBAS
edy burak ,   aventura , US   (09.10.07)
Mr Abbas what about free Shalit ? you can do it for rosh hashana
30. Release Gilad Shalit first!
