1. Rabin was victim of extremists Jews too
(12.30.07)
2. we are all victims of Olmert's gang
aaron ,   ra'anana   (12.30.07)
he's hijacked the jewish state for his own material ends.
3. Terror Israel is so familiar with: Irgun, Stern, Goldstein..
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (12.30.07)
Olmert is quite right in asserting that he knows all about terror, he should. The Zionists were the ones who introduced terror attacks and car bombings into the middle-east via the I.Z.L. and the Stern Gang, not to mention all the subsequent actions of terror from Deir Yassin, Qibia, Kafr Kassim, Baruch Goldstein, Yigal Amir, ... right up to the present day's everyday 'targeted killings'
4. Olmert's sef-serving analysis.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.30.07)
He is just defending his own position vis-a-vis Abbas. And his description of Madam Bhutto is just as mistaken. Bhutto was a power-hungry, corrupt, incompetant leader. Her husband was convicted of corruption. She was no defender of democracy & freedom, she just made pretty speeches. Sure, she was not as crazy as the Taliban but neither was she a solution to Pakistan's enormous problems. Sound familiar? This is just another example of the Western world's desperate attempt to find "moderates" - but there are no "good guys" in these countries. Not in Pakistan & certainly not in Palestine. You want more examples? Look at Iraq. Look at Karzai in Afghanistan. You can put Pharoah Mubarak in the same basket. It's all part of the same failed policies of leaders that deny reality. But the reality is that half of Pakistan's population would vote for Bin Laden just like Palestinians support Hamas (or their aims). Olmert is deceiving himself & trying to deceive us with his mistaken analysis.
5. Isn't all of Islam violent?
Petra ,   usa   (12.30.07)
No other voice is heard from 'moderate' Islam. Perhaps Sharia law is what they all want?
6. #3 Chanalau - You are really sick
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (12.30.07)
Terror was started by PALs nearly 100 years ago with the massacres in 1920, 1929, 1936 etc. Just like today when we had to devise counter-terror methods for the PAL terror, after nearly being exterminated we learned to fight terror with terror. To put things in context Haj Amin Al Husseini collaborated with Hitler and shared the same goal of exterminating the Jews. This gave rise to varying opinions of how to fight back. If we were being massacred by the Arabs then they are also fair game for attacks. I too condemn Goldstein and Amir. On the other hand the real threat to the world is Radical Moslem Terror. It is part of the Moslem nature to kill murder kidnap, etc. Any complaints you may have are a drop in the ocean compared to Radical Moslem Terror: WTC, Madrid, London, Bali, Sinai, Amman, Sbarro, Mikes Place, Park Hotel, all the airline hijackings, Beslan, Moscow theatre, suicide bombings in Israel, Iraq, etc. How about the HAMAS murdering Fatah in the Gaza takeover. And on and on. Chanalau you are a sick joke.
7. Are there any reasonable leaders that will stand up?
Jane ,   USA   (12.30.07)
Is Pakistan truly over run with irrational radical Muslims? Are good common people out numbered and beat down? Do you think setting up Bhuttos 19 year old son and her husband is a good idea? Is her son wise and mentally up to the task? Are they really patriots seeking the good of the country and its people?
8. Since when Olmert became an expert on Islam?
English Guy ,   London, UK   (12.30.07)
It is our goal to dominate the world and force everyone into submission. There are no moderates among us.
9. Another loss of Israel and the US.
Persian CAT   (12.30.07)
I condemn that assassination of Ms. Bhutto and I wish it had not happened. Having said that, Ms. Bhutto was a corrupt politician who had a proven record of authoritarian and undemocratic rule in Pakistan. The ONLY thing she was offering was complete willingness to be a US puppet and a supporter of the Apartheid regime in Israel. Well, that's all gone and Israel, once more, is left with its hopes that Bhutto would provide it with the fig leaf to continue its occupation, Apartheid and destructive state-sponsored terrorism in the ME in tatters. Well, all I can say is, better luck next time, the rulers of Zionistan.
10. Isn't all of Islam violent?
Ali ,   Cambridge, UK   (01.01.08)
Yes, indeed just as all moderate people, including jews, and christians would be violent when a gun is at their head. Look at how the world hates the behaviour of Israel, just because they have all the power in the area.
