1. Rockets only one Potential Consequence, Greater Dangers
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (10.08.07)
Israel must learn that giving away land to an enemy bent on its destruction will only lead to a greater threat then already exists.
2. Netanyahu and danger?
sHEILA ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.08.07)
If Mr Netanyahu is so concerned about danger from the West Bank why did he give Hebron to the Palestinians?
3. Netanyahu's comments
JG ,   Brookline, MA USA   (10.08.07)
Netanyahu is saying the right things but can he be trusted?
4. "Olmert- important decisions before us"
Sam ,   Canada   (10.08.07)
"Us" is being left out because no one has any idea what you are doing.
5. Meaningful political process? Like Oslo & Camp David?
Cynic ,   USA   (10.08.07)
6. Nataniau versus Olmert
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (10.08.07)
Can Nataniau be trusted ? Yes. When he gave Hevron, he was in the obligation to respect former Israeli cabinet decisions declared to the world. Anyhow, there is no one better than Bibi to lead Israel NOW.
7. Israel-commit suicide! Help keep Olmert out of JAIL!
Ola ,   Sao Paulo   (10.08.07)
8. Assessment by two leaders
Brod ,   USA   (10.08.07)
Bibi is right in his assessment of the situation in the region and the challenges that Israel is facing. As Bibi puts it, Iran should be Israel's top focus. All other issues are irrelevant when you get vaporized by a Mushroom Cloud from a fanatical Islamist-Jihadist state-Iran. Olmert says "It isn't about a struggle between good and evil." The fact is it is about the struggle between good and evil. Olmert and his advisers would need to read a lot more books pertaining to the nature and goal of Israel's enemies. Books by brilliant experts such as Mark A. Gabriel, PhD, Daniel Pipes, PhD, Gregory M. Davis, PhD, Dore Gold, PhD, Rachel Ehrenfeld, PhD, Jerome R. Corsi, PhD, Robert Spencer, Steven Emerson, Gerald Posner, Colonel David Hunt, Ibn Warraq, Ali Sina, Walid Shoebat, Oriana Fallaci, Brigitte Gabriel, Kenneth R. Timmerman, Robert Baer, Dan Briody, John Hagee, Hal Lindsey, etc. are a Must Read. "The Jerusalem Alternative" [2004] edited by Dmitry Radyshevsky, PhD is also a Must Read. And they should see the dark world of Israel's enemies in: www.faithfreedom.org and www.thereligionofpeace.com.
9. Did Lewis Carroll create Israel?
Sidney ,   USA   (10.08.07)
It has the logic of Wonderland. A prime minister with less than 10% public support aided by the all time loser Haim Ramon is preparing to give away Jerusalem as support for a Palentianian prime minister who has little public backing.
10. self-determination of fate; for the occupied or occupier?
observer   (10.08.07)
the question for the Israelis is not whether they concede or not. The question is if you are not the occupier present your credentials, if not start the talk immediately, hindering negotiation is not for your interest.
11. What it takes...
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (10.08.07)
"it takes determination to make courageous decisions, which include giving up fully realizing the dreams that have nourished our national ethos for many years." - Olmert It takes a lying, corrupt, self-hating Jew, turned atheist, filled with greed, hubris, and a total disregard of the will of Hashem, Torah, the Jewish people, their dreams, sacrifices, and their lives, throughout the 2,000 years of exile, to even suggest this. Enough "painful concessions." It is time to arrest Olmert, Peres, Ramon, Livini and the others involved in dismantling Israel, and bringing the Jewish people to destruction. This is treason. Put them in jail, and then on trial.
12. Get this defeatest degenerate out now
Steven ,   San Francisco   (10.08.07)
What are you all waiting for? Why is this government not being brought down now?!! Are you all a bunch of masochists over there?
13. Olmerts' defeatist doublespeak
Menachem Ben Yakov ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.08.07)
All the falsehoods that spill from this dunce of a Prime Ministers mouth cannot hide the fact that he is about to hand over Jerusalem to our enemies. The most unpopular PM in history , with the worst record in history, is committed to his pathological plan to please the most unpopular President in U.S. history , with the worst record in U.S history. Bush will do to Israel what he has done to Iraq and the smiling putz we call Prime Minister will continue to keep his nose up the Bush arse. Wake up Israel!
14. Caving to political will hurt Olmert personally.
Manny ,   New York   (10.08.07)
He is getting a not such a good short gain, for while he is giving into pressure his own country is hating him. But more than that his person after his term will be so denegrated. He does not know... Check out more articles on Olmert at ijarticles.blogspot.com
15. . It isn’t about a struggle between good and evil
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (10.08.07)
it isn't ? interesting view when one is wearing blinders...
16. Israel's greatest danger is brain dead idiots like Olmert.
Gary A. MD ,   Boston MA USA   (10.08.07)
Olmert makes me feel ashamed to be a jew. He is a disgrace to every single jew that has ever lived. He is about to destroy Israel and all you dumb jews are doing nothing. Israel will become the next jewish death camp.
17. I pray for G-ds peace for Jerusalem...
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (10.08.07)
any other peace contrived by man is doomed to failure.....
18. Dripping with traitorous lies
(10.08.07)
Wasn't it Olmert who declared last summer during the Lebanon war that this war proves there can be no unilateral withdrawals for peace? What is Israel getting in return for this suicidal pact? Galit? All arabs will now say they will respect her right to exist peacefully? What crap!! What about the referendum that no more land can be given away without a referendum? Peres--the evil father of the Oslo accords has the chutzpah to talk about Chamberlain after HE gave legitimacy to the egyptian homosexual and the myth of the "palestinian people" and their "claim" to land. This is all madness. Maybe with leaders like these and a dispassionate electorate who are quietly being led to slaughter--G-d forbid---maybe we still have not earned the right to be proud inhabitants of ALL the land of Israel divined by HaShem. This leadership has destroyed aliyah for many. G-d bless Israel with strength and courage to fight her murderous leaders.
19. Peace & the last WAR
FROM A SKEPTIC ,   I SEE NOW   (10.08.07)
Check this out the peace process has brought us the MOTHER of all WARS http://www.torahohr.net/gogumagog/
20. Olmert policy house
Ray ,   USA   (10.08.07)
Olmert the chief pimp for the Rice State Dept has turned thr cabinet to a brothel where Israel is offered up . There are the "tricks" on the North, the South and soon to be on display in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. There are no limits in this "house's offerings.
21. the THIEF and CORRUPT OLMERT must GO now. he's nothing
Dave   (10.08.07)
22. All you people of Israel complaining about Olmert
Bibi is right ,   this time   (10.08.07)
Don't just sit on your computers writing about how he is selling you out. Get out their and DO SOMETHING! Protest and demonstrate and put pressure on this guy and get him out of office before your country is thrown to the wolves!!
23. olmert has no right to give our Jewish land away!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.08.07)
olmert never defended our country nor did the unelected peres. How many Jews must die before we try and jail these two along with the criminal ramon.
24. Important Decisions= Giveaways to Terrorists
BJL ,   usa   (10.08.07)
That is their idea of important decision. Give away the heart of the Jewish Land. Give away Yerushalyim. Here is an important decision for you. Jerusalem will never be divided. Judea and Samaria are Jewish, forever. If Arabs want to live there is peace, great, as Elon said, they can be Jordanian citizens.
25. Where is the gay DR. from Florida ?
(10.08.07)
26. Important decisions
eddie ,   london UK   (10.09.07)
These Important decisions should not be made by non believing jews who have no support from the public. In any case, tehre will be anothe rintifada like in 2000, and these so calle dconcession wil be reversed again
