Or so says Olmert. The reality is that palestinians will say just about anything, make any promise, as long as they can get a tangible benefit. So, as usual, we get an empty promise with no garantee of compliance. But on essential elements of compromise, they don''t budge a centimeter. As if that's not bad enough, even the Israeli Arabs don't accept a Jewish state & they've been living in one for 60 years to their benefit. As for Olmert, he would seize upon anything that justifies his position - he would tell you that Abbas not only accepts a Jewish state but will have his Bar Mitzva at the Kotel - in other words, Olmert will say anything. In this, he most closely resembles his partner Abbas. It's all smoke & mirrors, empty slogans - what's real is the threat to our security.

We are ok with Peace are they committed ? If they ( Pals) want peace they would have got it long ago ...ok now we go again and again...trying to understand the whole solution once again which we have tendered long ago. Now doing the same thing again.Innovation verses proactive solutions... but at the expense of the Israeli People.

Abbas seems to be ready to accept Israel as a Jewish state and to abide by the Road Map. The question is whether the Hamas leadership feels the same.This is very doubtful. After all, they are a very powerful factor that is being left out of Annapolis. Without the approval of Hamas, it is doubtful if Abbas will able to do very much.

is not what Abbas cares for. Abbas wants the term "Jewish State" to be a real "Jewish State" according to the Torah and Jewish law, which the Israeli government and its courts rejects. So first we have to get Olmert and cronies to accept that... Once Olmert and the rest of the gang will make it an actual "Jewish State", wait and see how, not only Abbas will accept it, but the rest of the world will too. And then Israel will finally be a light unto nations.

in return"

the olmert fudd motto

They don't recognize Israel as a Jewish State now and we are giving them terrorist what more is there anyone out there that can save Israel. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/

BRIBARY AND BACK-HANDERS HAVE GIVEN NO RESULTS SO FAR TO ISRAEL.CAN NOBODY STOP THE OLMERT JUGGERNAUGHT BEFORE ISRAEL IS CUT INTO UNMANAGEABLE SMALL PIECES .?

JONATHAN POLLARD GILAD SHALIT EHUD GOLDWASSER ELDAD REGEV GUY HEVER RON ARAD ZACHARY BAUMEL YEHUDA KATZ TZVI FELDMAN

how many men women and children will be murdered,by these released terorists swines this criminaly insane traitor ehud olmert,must be deposed,and put on trial for high treason

Gilad ben Aviva Shalit, Eldad ben Tova Regev, Echud ben Malka Goldwasser, Ron Arad - and the country of Israel from the evil regime of Olmert. Every time this corrupt coward releases more terrorists, he fails in strengthening the impotent terror financier Abbas and only succeeds in weakening Israel. Israel, when will you say Dayenu to this anti-Torah, anti-Zionist administration? Throw them all out NOW:

OLMERT, YOU WILL DEFINITELY RELEASE ALL THE PRISONERS, WHY SHOULD YOU THINK ABOUT OUR PRISONERS? THEY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU. IF IT WAS YOUR SON, YOU WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER FOR HIS RELEASE. YOU ARE TWO FACED ......... HELL WITH YOU

he wants to run against Fayaad in the next PA Elections? this Peace conference sounds more like the dissecting process of Israel. You want Jerusalem? sure, because we want to be liked will even throw in the Golan as a bonus. Anarchists around the world must be loving this one.

That is the Good Housekeeping seal of disaster.

Why we do not hear of any Israelis released by the Palestinians or Hezbollah? Why we do not hear of any Palestinian concessions only of Israeli concessions? Why go to Annapolis to hear the same palestinians demands that we heard for years? Why do we continue to negotiate and promise concessions while terror was not stopped? What is Olmert real agenda? Nobel Peace Prize? It is time to take an aggressive stand no Palestinian state, no negotiations until real progress is made by Abbas and his cabinet. Abbas carries the same line as Arafat, there is no change, neither wants real peace.

What about Gilad Shalit??? Why has Olmert forgotten him?

Top Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat on Monday rejected Israel's demand that the Palestinians acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state.

Currently the Palestinians are holding 1 Israeli prisoner. Israel is holding over 10,000 Palestinians.

Israel should say NO to releasing the Islamist-JIhadist thugs. Goodwill to the wolves is meaningless as the wolves remain wolves whose Manifesto calls for the destruction of Israel.

Olmert is a wolf who works for fellow wolf George to destroy Israel. All one has to do is wear a kipa to decieve or hold a bible in their hand and the masses are mesmerized. There are many who claim to be one thing who by their actions prove they are something else. Over the years I have been wrongly told 'not to judge'. Why has the modern day citizen become so easy to seduce by politicians and newspaper dictators whose agenda follows haSatan and not Hashem ? These are dark and evil days where good is called evil and evil is called good. Just look at the hatred from Haaretz and other Israeli government media propaganda outlets against the 'extremist,right wing settlers and you can see and feel the flames of hell behind these sons of darkness who hide behind freedom,democracy and sheep hide's. It's not what they say that matters but what they do and yet a sweet smile for the camera's and sweet words are enough to decieve the masses. Israel is in a war for her survival and the wolves keep telling us this is the way to peace . Why can't we define our enemy ? How is it that Israel's adored superpower peacemaker never delivers and Israel keeps buying the same deliusion ? Why do we settle for lies like war on terror,when the wolf keeps Israel's enemy alive,growing daily into an even greater threat.Even a deff ,dumb and blind person can see this is not the way to peace. Why has Israel chosen to embrace such darkness? Is it becasue they proudly ignore ,reject the sons of light in their midst who have warned them from the beginning ? We all know it is Islam which will never accept 'infidel' Jews in their dwindling sphere of influence and yet we allow the modern day false prophets to feed us lies since Oslo ,Wye,Tenant ,Mitchell,Zinni,Aquaba,Sharm El Sheikh,and now the biggest lie of all the Road Map and almost all of Israel goes along to certain disaster without much of a peep.Shades of the holocaust return once again with the help of Israel's legion of Kapo's.

that Olmert release Jews without "blood on their hands" that you wouldn't post my tbk? Is it only the Arab terrorists being released that's of any interest to you and to your leftists friends? It's about time Olmert does something worthwhile for his Jewish brothers, unless he's not Jewish and they're not his brothers.

The Arabs occupiers are holding NO Israeli prisoners: only hostages. Get your facts straight.

Of course you wouldn't want them near you. But if they're close to Israel, that would be fine with you, you anti-Semite.

A) Waste of time that accomplishes NOTHING B) Dangerous and foolish. They will hurt or kill again. C) A and B = C which is deranged and delusional goverment.

No the facts are : 1 Israeli prisoner to 10,000Palestinians prisoners. Prisoner / hostage is a matter of semantics not facts. Also fact number two: The Occupied Territories is land illegally occupied by Israel. The Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the West Bank, to the Gaza Strip, and to the entire City of Jerusalem, in order to protect the Palestinians living there. The Palestinian People living in this Palestinian Land are “protected persons” within the meaning of the Fourth Geneva Convention. All of their rights are sacred under international law. There are 149 substantive articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention that protect the rights of every one of these Palestinians living in occupied Palestine. The Israeli Government is currently violating, and has since 1967 been violating, almost each and every one of these sacred rights of the Palestinian People recognized by the Fourth Geneva Convention. Indeed, violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention are war crimes.

When did Gaza and the "west bank" become occupied land? Britain received a mandate from the League of Nations to create a Jewish homeland for Jews. With typical British arrogance, illegality, and disrespect for others, Britain created a new country Transjordan to reward one their Arab pets who had no connection with this land. When the UN partitioned this territory, the Arabs immediately attacked in order to destroy Israel. Egypt grabbed Gaza and Transjordan grabbed the "west bank". The Arabs were on the run when the UN instituted a cease-fire. Everything that Israel controlled became the temporary border, the"green line". Egypt and Transjordan, now Jordan, kept what they seized. Nobody described this land as "occupied" territory. In 1967 Nasser and allies started a war, closing the Straits of Tiran with the stated goal of destroying Israel. Egypt and Jordan lost their seized territory and Arabs started to call this land "occupied Arab territory". Turkey would have just as much right to call the whole Middle East which they lost in World War I "occupied territory". And if you go back far enough the Byzantine Empire would be able to call all Turkish holdings "occupied territory".

For example palestinians freeing GUILAD SHALIT ?? I'm sorry, we need to remove him from his place. He cannot do it in my name, or any israeli citizen.
