Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.20.07)
You will just wait long Olmert, prostatics cancer, will return from WC. You will just spent your time on Urination drips to drop. Anneapolis: International Gethering of Zionist and Zionist' Slaves
2. Considering the quality of our politicians ...
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.20.07)
Low expectations is an understatement.
3. This Peace Conf. is very dangerous &will cause Jew. bloodshd
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.07)
Hashem yerachem. These terrorists alreadys started last night demonstrating what they can do. There's no doubt that Olmert's government is to be blamed for this murder and any other occurrences - which will surely happen after his dangerous conference.
4. I relate to Uri Orbach's cynicism
Solly ,   los angeles, CA., U.   (11.20.07)
Though I sincerely hope that nothing will come out of it....the lowest of all lowpoints and biggest of dissappoinments already took place when Sharon uprooted Jews from Gaza. I expect nothing good, heroic, Jewish or anything original anymore from Israel. I am truly awaiting with all of my soul for the return of King David.
5. The Israeli Public are the weak ones
(11.21.07)
They complain and complain, but Olmert and the rest of the incompetents stay in power. So Israelis: shut up and support the government YOU are keeping in power.
6. The truth is that there can be no positive expectations
AK   (11.21.07)
Not for Israelis. I hope that I am wrong, But I'm afraid that this is not going to be solve-nothing-change-nothing conference. Olmert and his crew will be forced to sign an unconditional surrender, even if he will be returning home afterward claiming another 'peace in our times.' How do I know that? Because every single Israeli politicians came away extorted and mugged from every single international conference, including Begin. And every single time they were too vain to publictly admit the truth, and lied instead. Remember Rabin promising after Oslo that Jerusalem would never be surrendered or divided? This time, the conference is scheduled to finally do what was done at Munich conference to Czchoslovakia – truncate and destroy Israel. Bush had tried to do it 6years ago, but Sharon had called him on this, making precisely the reference to Munich, and the American public, fresh after 9/11 with pictures of celebrating 'Palestinians' well remembered, was in no mood to stab in back the trusty ally to please the very people who had just murdered 3000 Americans. Apparently now Bush is getting ready to deliver Israeli corpse to his Arab buddies with whom his family has been in business for ages, before he leaves the office. Everybody had hoped that Bush was not like his Dad, but we were all wrong; he is exactly like his father and his Nazi-dealing grandpa Preston, before him. Israelis are still asleep and are sleepwalking into a horrific disaster instead of taking to the streets in huge numbers and demonstrating to their feckless leaders and the world at large their determination to fight and survive and willingness to remove their defeatist government from power, if needed. And the Israeli media bears a huge responsibility for this national lethargy .
7. Solly, but is it enough
AK   (11.21.07)
Will our children's generation be forced to write another 'The Abandonment of the Jews' this time about the Israeli Jews?
