1. The First and Most Pressing Solution
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (09.11.07)
is to get rid of our toothless Prime Minister. He has zero percent of qualifications in running this country. Besides pulling his Jewish brothers out of their legal Jewish homes and giving in to terror with his "goodwill gestures", he has done absolutely nothing for Israel's security. When will there finally be a revolution to overthrow Olmert's corrupt, powerless government? It's about time the Israelis wake up.
2. olmert's gang must go
Ron ,   NYC   (09.11.07)
they are against the people of Israel and play into the hands of the enemy, don't you get it yet?
3. Clueless Olmert doesnt know what to do!
freejay ,   Israel   (09.11.07)
We need eletions now!! This moron has no idea how to respond in an appropriate manner. NO MORE APPEASING!!!! OLMERT MUST BE REMOVED!!!
4. Likud did not expel the fraudulent when they had the chance
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, MO USA   (09.11.07)
Yes #1, get a real leader first who abides by a moral sense of justice. Likud should have expelled its leader and remained in charge as soon as he mentioned "painful concessions" to those who come to kill you. That remnant of wars without victories. Sharon as Kadima took power without election thereby disenfranchising the electorate that chose Likud yet was then led by someone who implemented the oppositions policies contrary to the Likud and charter and referendum Sharon swore to uphold. The leader will expel those that come to kill you. Enforce their right of return to their peninsular homeland of their own name. Likud should have, could have expelled the fraud and things would have been atleast somewhat different. Jews living on their land is number one. The pogroms were a cataclysmic mistake that no one mentions or takes the discredit for. Likud needs to admit the truth.
5. My thoughts...
Aaron   (09.11.07)
Years ago the Arabs talked about driving us into the sea, today, Olmert and the government have their swimwear on. Israeli 'goodwill' is a contradiction for the Arabs. They see us as only evil and wrong and something to be wiped out. However, there are those of us who cling to this notion that 'peace is just around the corner', 'Abbas is a moderate', 'Damascus wants a just peace'. Its the law of the jungle here: Jews need to look after Jews. The Druze and Christians in the country are welcome as well. If we don't take care of Israel, who will? Gaza is a disaster. Hamas keeps fine tuning its capabilities. Its not that Hamas will destroy Israel, but when Syria-Iran-Hizballah attack, who do think will tie up one of Israel's hands (i.e. split our resources)? We need to take care of Gaza NOW, because tomorrow, we have MUCH bigger problems. Israel Beitenu and Shas will never quit the government, they talk the talk but in reality, they are in love with the political power, even if it is just taste.
6. well done voters!
edmundo ,   London UK   (09.11.07)
7. TO ELI YISHAI
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (09.11.07)
We all know that Olmert and gang are blind ,corrupt and pretty much have no common sense. The fact you stay were you are ,makes you a partner in their crimes against us. You seem to have lost your moral compas in order to benfit your own little agenda. Every day you support this evil government ,makes you more and more the responsible for the bloodshed we are heading for. Now is the time to choose life, please sit down and come to your senses,before it is to late.
8. Patriotic MKs they should resign and force an election...
Nannette ,   London   (09.11.07)
Israel needs to be saved from Olmert, Livni and Barak, who live in an alternate reality. Get rid of them now! If enough MK's resign because of government ineptitude, it will force a general election... just get these monsters out of power - they neither love Israel, nor love the people!
9. WHY PUBLISH??
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.11.07)
The idea of publishing the lack of response to a pressing situation, and even telling that it won't be done until after the holidays is a sign of how the media mess up the lives of soldiers who protect the citizenry. The enemy now knows when to be prepared and it can plan accordingly. The media are not helping. They are the closest enemy that exists. It is a self-defeating mechanism which doesn't help. It just advertises what potentially dead people will not be able to purchase. It has overdone and exceeded its purpose for existence. Horray for YNET, a self-hating Israeli news medium. All you do is get talkbacks but does nothing positive for the people. It benefits from all the ads as JDATE and other poor suckers who fall into the trap of advertising. The people should refuse to patronize those who pay money to support those who would quote Reuters as a news source. Heaven help us!!!
10. I DESPISE OLMERT - HE BRINGS SHAME UPON US!
redmiike ,   tel aviv   (09.11.07)
His inaction simply encourages more kassams. When he shouldn't have acted (Lebanon) he did and now that he must he doesn't! He makes me want to hide my head in shame and I can't tell you how much I despise him and everyone of his cowardly family.
11. Inaction
Hilda ,   US   (09.11.07)
Olmert has pretty much said to the Arabs--Do what ever you want to usd, we won't hit back during the holidays. They are inviting an attack like the Yom Kippur War but this time they want to see how the MODERATE ABBAS and his il Fatah and el Aksa Brigades act. How stupid--Even an idiot knows he will join up with Hamas if he knows he can give the death blow to the Jewish State.
12. Action
Alan ,   Elazar,Israel   (09.11.07)
Enough is enough!! What is he waiting for? How many more must die. If Olmert's home were bombed or a rocket fell in his back yard, would he wait to act then? Act now, swiftly and decisively. Cancel all talks until we have a real partner.
13. A direct answer to draft dodgers
Raz ,   IL   (09.11.07)
Serving in the army under a useless, coward prime minister equals to a suicide mission. Democratically speaking and in view of the polls, this man does not seem to understand the message 'go home'. Unfortunately there is an urgent need of a military coup with immediate implementation of martial law.
14. No Surprise here! Olmert is a disgrace.
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (09.11.07)
What a bastard.
15. Weeks earlier: Barak: IDF nearing gaza op.
Bram ,   NL   (09.11.07)
I assume the time has come now..?
16. SHAS AND LIEBERMAN KEEP OLMERT IN POWER
aaron ,   ra'anana   (09.11.07)
17. olmert FUDD = hamasexual OPERATIVE
Dwayne Knight ,   Indianapolis, USA   (09.11.07)
or militant as they like to say
18. Responsibility lies with Government
Brod ,   USA   (09.11.07)
The government is responsible for the security of the nation in the face of serious attacks on the homeland. The people demand action. The representatives should carry out the demand of the people. A Captain who is incompetent or asleep at the helm with a crew who has similar weakness would need to be replaced to prevent the ship from hitting an iceberg and sinking. A new competent crew is needed. It is time for action. It is time for change. It is time to do away with all the crap excuses.
19. OLMERT THE IDIOT MUST RESIGN
ANGRY REUVEN ,   USA   (09.11.07)
why should our boys be killed for a foolish leader like olmer? this goverment should resign now.army must cut water, elctricity,oil and food and others NOW.ARMY MUST MAKE GAZA LAND OF ""SHEMAMA"OR HELL TO LIVE IN.PEPOLE MUST RISE AND SAY NO MORE THIS FOOLISH GOVERMENT.
20. Olmert must go!!!
Natan   (09.11.07)
Olmert must go now!!! Further more, he should be put on trial for endangering the lives of Israeli citizens as well as it's soldiers. We need new elections and new leaders that will send a message to the scum bags in Gaza and the West Bank . " enough is enough, next Qasam will be your last Qasam!!!
21. Olmert
Sagi ,   Israel   (09.11.07)
INept, INadequate, INcompetent, INcapable, INane, INappropriate, INdifferent and INsane. Unfortunately he is also IN power and it is up to us the People to make an INcision and remove him and his cohorts. This country, our People, our Nation are IN deep trouble and we seem to be INcapable of understanding the nature of the problem called Hamas, Hizballa and Iran. The only solution to this problem is "them or us". All other Beilin, Tamir, Sarid solutions are nothing more than a pipe dream. Olmert OUT, sanity IN, now.
22. ASS-MASH-DINEJAD
Franklin ,   Paris, France   (09.11.07)
Is the name of the trap. Before reacting in this hazardous period of tension...Israel have to keep cool...and let the diabolic coaltion reveal more of their play....and cards. In the same time, Israel MUST appeal the International opinion to denounce the plot of this dirty coalition...and their damaging actions. At this day, the plaints and protest of Israel are unlistenable.... But his legitimate reaction to terror deafening.
23. Washington will not let toy poodle attack Gaza
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.11.07)
The toy poodle of George is not permitted to endanger the November ' destruction of Israel by peace ' Here is what YNET is not reporting. Yet despite these calls, predictions are that the IDF will still hold back from launching a large scale operation in the Gaza Strip. According to reports, the hesitancy is in large part due to the upcoming peace summit in Washington, mounting tensions along the northern border, and the fact that Sderot remains largely unprotected.
24. Fried Omlet
Omlet ,   somewhere over there   (09.11.07)
Well that does it Ehud Omlet has proven himself to be a putz. I guess now he will just have to let go of more palies. Makes sense. Maybe just maybe they will fire a Kassam on the Knesset while in session and both sides can celebrate.
25. When will this olMERDE leave this goverment??
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (09.11.07)
26. I Will Convert My Breakfast To islam
Will Robinson ,   Smallville, USA   (09.11.07)
at some point this morning ......probably after another cup of cofee
27. Lets face facts...
JK ,   NYC   (09.11.07)
the State of Israel is not being run by Israelis with Israeli interests but by the US and Global money and Global political interests, Zionism Jewish Nationalism is basically over and Globalization rules, Israel is turning its back on its Jews just like the entire world did in with the rise of fascism.
28. OLmert will not retaliate on a grand scale
Cato the Elder ,   USA   (09.11.07)
because he is the puppet of Bush&Rice, who, in turn, are the puppets of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates. The only solution is the removal of Olmerde &Co. Israelis--wake up--Oldmerde is going to kill you.!! OLMERT DELENDUM EST
29. I agree with #13
Cato the Elder ,   USA   (09.11.07)
I thoroughly agree with #13--A silent, quick military coup to remove and exile Olmert &Co is now in order. It is this or doom. Israelis, it's time to choose. OLMERT DELENDUM EST !!
30. Get off my back!
olmert ,   Tel Aviv   (09.11.07)
Get off my back . Let us talk next week. Why to rush? I also have a family and very important business to take care of.
