1. IDF NEED TO OVERTHROW GOVT
andy ,   orlando,u.s   (11.21.07)
The IDF need to topple Olmert and his corrupt cronies by coup d'etat if they have to.The IDF is best placed to save Israel from this insanity of arming the enemy.Olmert is not fit to lead the country.
2. oh my just when you think it cant get lower
Vince P ,   Chicago   (11.21.07)
i keep wondering to myself why i sometimes get surprised by the news. i have this unrealistic expectation that things cant be going so bad or that the people "in charge" cant possibly be as stupid as they seem.. and yet they are.
3. May Hashem have a mercy on all of us.
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (11.21.07)
If this O'Merde is the only leader we can come up with and the entire Jewish world seems to be in the stupor - from where can we expect salvation? Throw them all out... With O'Merde, Peres, Beilin and all other defeatest who are pretending to be the Jewish leaders..
4. And what do we get?
Talula ,   Israel   (11.21.07)
This is disgraceful! Olmert has completely lost his marbles. Golda Meir (bless her) also didn't listen to intelligence and look what happened. Our quest for a unilateral peace (we don’t have a partner) is weakening us and will be the end of us. What have WE gained from the release of prisoners and now weapons? To take back a word after it has been spoken is easier than to take back a bullet once it’s reached its target. What a sad day for us.
5. thisequipment will be in Hamas' hands within 6 months
aaron ,   ra'anana   (11.21.07)
6. Armoured vehicles
Damir ,   Russia   (11.21.07)
AFAIK these are not the army issue but a lighter police version.
7. Jesus Christ!!
(11.21.07)
8. 50 armored vehicles
Fred Douglas ,   Har Halutz   (11.21.07)
You want good will? Offer to help build a hospital or create other infra structure which will put people to work so that they don't have time or incentive to be in the streets. No armored vehicles, rifles and bulltts while our boys are risking their lives there. For the good of Israel, will someone suggest new elections now.
9. Iran-Russia vs Israel ... The Time Draws Near
Craig Crawford ,   Laguna Niguel USA   (11.21.07)
The time draws near ... the Bible warns Iran (Persia), with Russia ('Magog'), and a coalition of allies (including Turkey and Sudan) will attack and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime after Israel has been re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May 14, 1948) ... this prophetic war has never yet taken place ... the only time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel was to help Israel throw off the yoke of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD. The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone...with God. For when this coming war does finally start, the United States (for reasons yet unknown) will be unable or unwilling to help Israel defend herself. Although the Bible warns the invading armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both Israel and the whole world. Bible scholars are divided as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of Armageddon or will just precede the battle of Armageddon in order to prepare the path for the coming Antichrist (a coming 'world leader' who will enforce a 'peace plan' upon Israel). Bible students should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ... while believing Christians (followers ... both Jew and Gentile ... of Jesus-Yeshua, the promised Messiah) are told to 'examine' themselves in the Word and in faith to insure they are not just 'almost' Christians (followers of the Messiah) or 'lukewarm' in their faith ... for Jesus-Yeshua the Messiah warns all to, "Watch, therefore, and pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy to escape all these things (the terrible events of the coming 'Apocalypse') that will come to pass" ... (Luke 21:36) ... for the Bible promises believing Christians (faithful believers and followers of the Messiah) who are alive at that time and have endured in their faith in God's Word are not 'appointed' to this coming time of 'God's wrath' that will be 'poured out' upon the whole world ... (1 Thessalonians 1:10 ... 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11)
10. Olmert is-besides a criminal not yet convicted, a lunatic!
Tevye ,   Chelm   (11.21.07)
Olmert is going the same way as Sharon (..), with loads of indictments over his head, he is trying to do a firesale, sell out the whole country, just so the the Media won't nag him too much ( thats what they also did with Sharon - as long as he acted like their extreme left wing opinions, they will give him all their suppost he needs to stay in the sadle). It's the same with all those guns Rabin gave ( the guy who ended just like Sharon, remember - though slightly different ), and which were used with loads of terror attacks. You can bet on it that they will be used against the IDF and Israeli civilians. The oposition should at least demand a promise from Olmert that if they find one vehicle or gun given by him , used against Israel, he should resign immediately! Now, I'm against militairy coups, but here the government is more dangerous and lunatic then the army is, so I wouldnt mourn if one morning I would wake up and find that the army took over things....
11. throw intelligence into the wind
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (11.21.07)
who is the PM working for? the Jews or the Arabs? if he does not listen to the intelligence reports, does that mean something?
12. Has bush ever been here? end
(11.21.07)
13. Thats just insane
Christoph ,   Germany   (11.21.07)
So, Olmert is aiding terror organizations now. Great. This equipment will be in the hands of Hamas soon. Just when you think it´t can´t be worse.
14. When is the first "Olmert habeita" demonstration?
Ruth ,   Beer Sheva, IL   (11.21.07)
It is high time to organize grassroots protest against this PM.
15. Suicidal!
Avraham ,   Netivot   (11.21.07)
16. Other sites say it is 50
Meir ,   Beit Shemesh   (11.21.07)
Even 1 is too much.
17. to # 7 plus something's wrong
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Samaria   (11.21.07)
Nr. 7 Please leave us alone with that man! Tanks, two milion bullets to the Arabs? There is something wrong here. As an Israeli I'm allowed to buy 50 (fifty) bullets. Not per week ormonth. For life!
18. goodwill gesture?
Daniel ,   Israel   (11.21.07)
Fantastic Goodwill! How many will be killed with those 2 million bullets; Jews or Palestinians? This is actually a bad-will gesture. You will get back what you sow. And if this is okay with the Governments, where is goodwill from Abbas? Where is Gilad?
19. why the hell did i even move to israel?!?!?!?
ari ,   israel   (11.21.07)
20. Armoured Cars & Bullets to P.A.
Oskar Prager ,   Petach Tikva   (11.21.07)
If one of these bullets hits any of my children or grandchildren I shall sue Olmert personally in every court of the world for murder. He will have Jewish Blood on his hands. Also responsible will be Livni, Barak and every member of the Cabinet.
21. It is called TREASON
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (11.21.07)
All of Olmert's gifts to Al-Fatah, whose formal charter still calls for the eradication of Israel and the genocide of the Jews, have "accidentally" ended up in the hands of Hamas - including $100,000,000 and countless weapons. Why should these armored vehicles be any different? How can he oppose the official counsel of both the IDF and the Shin-Bet? In any country, arming the enemy is high treason - in Israel, it is abetting the murder of your own citizens. Olmert must be arrested, and now, before his evil self-serving schemes can (chas v'shalom) spill even more Jewish blood. Israel, I am BEGGING you, stop this traitor now before even more of your children must suffer from his evil.
22. fit remote explosives on the cars
YNet reader ,   Australia   (11.21.07)
hidden remote control explosives should be fitted in the circuitry of the armoured vehicles and if they go missing or end up in enemy hands the IDF would be able to detonate that particular vehicle through a secure remote control code.
23. Let's be fair
Alex ,   california   (11.21.07)
How will the Pals ever be able to fight terrorists without it's own air force, tanks and strategic missiles? Sounds crazy? So does giving armor to anyone planning to wipe your country out! Hamas must be celebrating..
24. i agree with u 1
haim ,   mtl canada   (11.21.07)
COUP D ETAT is about the best tht could happen to this olmerde and his gang .the sooner the better its getting VERY URGENT AMEN
25. So, where are Lieberman & Yishai?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.21.07)
Their hypocritical tuchases are still glued to their Knesset chairs. Talk is cheap, Mr Lieberman - you evidently don't have the courage of your convictions. You don't deserve anyone's vote. As for Shas, well, I don't really expect anything from those religious hypocrites. Mr Yishai is more worried about gay parades & pork chops than the security of the nation. Actually, Mr Yishai knows all about pork .....
26. i cant believe !!!!!!!!!!!
itzik ,   israel   (11.21.07)
its happen again
27. 2 million bullets to kill 2 million Jews
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.07)
Olmert is a cheapskate now the PA will have to find $ to buy the rest to kill the rest of us, oh yeah i forgot the EU and the Rice will supply the rest
28. Stop the hysteria
Richard ,   London UK   (11.21.07)
Hold on. On the one hand you all scream about the 'terror' groups and that the PA does nothing about them and then when the Israeli government offers to help the PA fight the 'terror' groups you scream against that. Get some perspective. It's only 25 vehicles and they are 'soft skinned' vehicles not tanks or, god forbid, those horrible bulldosers the IDF are so fond of. For years there have been baying screams for the PA to do something but considereing the IDF has pretty much destroyed Gaza and the West Bank it's amazing the PA can acheive anything. I think there might be real momentum for peace this time.
29. #24
Invicta ,   Europa   (11.21.07)
Good idea. let the Army overthrow the elected government and then israel can be the nasty right wing dictatorship you would so fondly enjoy.
30. #9
invicta ,   europa   (11.21.07)
