2. Has anything changed?
Sam ,   Canada   (11.19.07)
State of the negotiations: 1)Jerusalem- Trial baloon of offering Arab neighbourhoods fell like a dead duck. Arabs want all of East Jerusalem. Israelis not willing to concede. 2) Borders- Arabs want 1967 borders,minor adjustments. Israel wants bigger adjustments 3)refugees-Israel wants zero refugees.Palestinians want unlimited choice and Israeli apology 4)Israel is Jewish state.- Non negotiatiable for Israel. Palestinians refuse to acknowledge.. Israel and Palestinians will try to put a positive spin on negotiations and talk about ending violence and freezing settlements but the reality is not much has changed.
3. Enough good will gestures!!
Elchonon ,   Chevron   (11.19.07)
We give, and give and give!!! all they do is go back to killing!! Therefor he called it gal'eid When Yakov and Lavan made the pact with the stones. Lavan wanted to conduct things on his term thereby calling it "yagar sahaduta" in arameic... Yet at the end we see he relented to Yakov and called it Gal-eid which is the name Yakov gave it. Lavan wanted to conduct the treaty on his terms, therefore he used the arameic name as lavan was arami. Yakov however refused saying "no can do.. we do this on MY terms" and lavan relented. The message to us is, when we "yakov" conduct "peace treaty's" we do things on OUR terms!! we do not buckle in to lavan's or arami's!! Arami also can mean Harami "swindler" Yakov was ok with being swindled, he knew it was part of g-d's plans so he went along.. but at the end of the day, when it came time to signing a treaty.. Yakov said NO! this will be done on my terms. Let us learn from this, that if only here in eretz yisrael they told the goyim NO! we will do this only on our terms.. the goyim will buckle in!
4. why release murderers

5. last minute pus and concessions
marcel   (11.19.07)
Olmert is to release 500 prisoners tp get PLO to attend Annapolis. Why not give Abbas all of Israel? Olmert doe not realize how gross it is to be falling all over the arabs and Rice with concessions.It is a lack of self-respect. Make a proper deal not a munich one.
6. Surprise...the sellout lets some more criminals out!
jack bauer   (11.19.07)
Oh wait, it is not a surprise at all. It is simply par for the course. Why don't Israelis wake up and dump this corrupt govt. ?
7. you will have peace of the cemetery
chaim schonbrun ,   brooklyn n.y   (11.19.07)
as long as this criminaly insane,traitorous,incompotent,pathetic fool is prime minister,israel will have peace,it will be the peace of the dead,did you ever notice how peacfull the cemetery is, this criminal is going to release 500 murderous terrorist swines,to kill and blow up some more men women and children,he has just now authorized the transfer of more weapons to the p.l.o terrorists. citizens of israel if you dont get rid of this monster,he will turn all of israel into one big peacfull cemetery g-d forbid
8. When Deluded Israeli Leaders Refuse To Take NO For An Answer
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (11.19.07)
The post and anti zionists never take NO for an answer. While the Pals have NO intention of making peace with the Jews in Israel, Israel's leaders are still in hot pursuit. I wonder if even an attack from them or their surrogates on the Azrieli Towers will change the post/anti zionist minds?
9. Mashugana Insanity
BJL ,   usa   (11.19.07)
Missiles coming down in Sderot and Negev. Gaza is armed and trained by Hizbullah. Abu Mazen the Holocaust denying, blood on his hands sidelick of the devil Arafat, is the "peace partner". Olmert, Livni, Shas and Y' Beitanu will have blood and the judgment of G-d upon them.
10. So sad, how clueless Olmert is...
Mark Kleiman ,   Florida, USA   (11.19.07)
Abbas' Fatah hates him and his liberal Kadima party, just as much as any of the rest of us... Jewish conservatives.
11. Olmert's revenge against Israel?
Left & right Jew ,   Israel   (11.19.07)
Are 500 terrorists sitting in jail for no reason at all? Are they perhaps mistakenly called 'terrorists' in the first place? It is a proven fact that many previously released 'clean -handed terrorists' managed to get their hands covered in blood following a politically inspired release. I appeal to sensibly minded Jews of the left, right, secular, religious communities etc., that those with murderous intentions against our people are place in jail for a good reason in the first place. No good can possibly come from overturning the hard work done by our security forces risking their lives to protect us, certainly not for empty promises. Lastly, as a nation are we really that weak that we can't overcome our enemies and 'dictate' terms of peace from a position of strength? It's time to stop pulling our nation apart, uprooting Jews and our undeniable Jewish heritage, and come together!
12. Prisoners
mike ,   Jerusalem   (11.19.07)
How about America releasing Pollard? He for sure has no blood on his hands.
