1. arrogant emperor does not heed warnings.
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.10.08)
diasater is ahed for this pompous fool who assumes too much for his small head and shoulders. The peacemaker is only a flase peacemaker and will never rise above this. He wil sink as will the US for their pride in dividing up what is not theirs to divide up.

5. Why doesn't Bush divide Mecca ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.10.08)
It's easy for president bush to push around Israel and steal their land for his nefarious phony peace. WHy does he not do something similar with his Islamic peace buddies and divide Mecca for peace on earth.
6. Bush get it !!!!
all jews ,   everywhere   (01.10.08)
Israeli people doesn't even want to talk to you as long as Jonathan rots in jail
7. We will never free 5th column Polard
Seth ,   USA   (01.10.08)
8. Pollard...are you people for real.
Phillip ,   NYC USA   (01.10.08)
The man who has offered to destroy any country that attacks Isreal and this is how he is treated. Tell you what.... We will release Pollard. The U.S. will no longer offer miltary support and stop all money handouts.
9. Pollard again... yawn.
Avi ,   Tel-Aviv   (01.10.08)
Pollard acted of his own initiative and broke the US law as US citizen. Our ultra-right has truly gone nuts.
10. www.blablablaparty.com
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Samaria   (01.10.08)
11. Bush, Marcel and Joseph P ....
Hiram ,   Paris   (01.10.08)
Marcel, we all know your political engagement , as we know of the political engagement of Adina and others who frequently voice their hatred of America...and their love for the state of Israel.....Your memory if possibly failing you......May be you were in Florida when the beaches of Tel Aviv were covered with Patriot anti-missiles contraption a few years back...supplied in 48 hrs by the USA.....May be you forget the monthly million of dollars which keep Israel afloat ( even if the shoah survivors are still living under poverty line, thanks to 60 years of negligence, may be you do not realize to which point the destiny of Israel and of the USA are linked together.... to such an extent that when a tourist rents a car in Tel Aviv , he is charged in dollars ......Bush is probably an idiot, as there are also idiots in the Israeli political circle....However be sure that if Israel was under attack from Iran tomorrow, the US would be there in just a few hours..... This commitment is probably the best thing going for the state of Israel untill a real and unavoidable peace ( regardless of what Joseph P thinks ) will allow stability in the area. You should let your brain think a bit longer before letting your fingers fart on the keyboard !
12. Phillip #8: At least you are honest
Steve ,   Fla.   (01.10.08)
What you are saying is what many of us know. U.S. aid comes with strings. If Israel does not follow Bush's demands to commit national suicide, why then the U.S. will no longer offer Israel any aid. Keep your aid Phillip. Let us keep our land. What good is American aid when a man like Bush seeks Israel's destruction? Who is demanding Bush give Texas back to Mexico? Who is demanding the US establish a Native American state on US soil?
13. Shas will support Annapolis if Bush releases Pollard
David Turner   (01.10.08)
If Bush is serious about peace between Israel and Palestine then he was just handed his best opportunity to salvage Annapolis. Two nights ago he was handed a letter by Deputy Prime Minister Eli Yishai from Rabbi Ovadia Yosef: Shas* will commit to support prisoner exchanges, the opening wedge to Stage 1 of the Roadmap, in exchange for the Bush freeing Jonathan Pollard. How would this benefit Abbas? With Palestine in social and political chaos a Shas support for a more liberal policy towards prisoners might lead to the release of Marwan Barghouti, young, charismatic and possibly the only Palestinian able to unite polity and politicians. How would this benefit Olmert? If Shas walks, and it likely will if the prime minister gets too far out in front regarding concessions, the coalition collapses and Olmert will face Winograd wounded and unprotected. How would this benefit Bush? Since the terror attack on New York in 2001 this president created a string of military and diplomatic failures across the Middle East. Afghanistan is facing civil war from a resurgent Taliban; Iraq is essentially leaderless and also in civil war; Iran, unimpressed by Bush or an American military bogged down in wars against the Islamic Republic’s neighbors and former enemies; the Sunni oil producers insecure under the tatters of a previous American military umbrella. The list goes on. With only one year to go before he leaves office, Annapolis offers Bush his only possible success, his last chance for a positive accomplishment, a legacy to point to. And a successful Israel-Palestine peace process would outshine the accomplishments of all his predecessors. But in order to move this forward he needs a untied Palestine with a leader capable of negotiating; a stable Israel government with a leader empowered to negotiate. He would contribute to both by accepting Shas* offer. Pollard is Bush*s rabbit in the hat, if he is strong and confident enough to pull it out.
14. David #13: There's nothing positive @ Annapolis.
Steve ,   Fla.   (01.10.08)
15. #12 Steve
Phillip ,   NYC USA   (01.10.08)
If you took the time to read my post. You will see that I did not mention land or any type of land give back. I only made wrote about Pollard. Next time take the time to read before you react.
16. Hiram, you bring terrible memories to the fore.
Steve ,   Fla.   (01.10.08)
You say "the beaches of Tel Aviv were covered with Patriot anti-missiles contraption a few years back...supplied in 48 hrs by the USA....." This was a shameful episode. It was the first time in Israel's history whereby the Jews did not respond to military provocation from an enemy but instead relied on another country; the U.S. It was Bush Sr. (G. W.'s anti-Israel father) and rabid anti-Semite James Baker III that pressured Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir to ignominiously stand down these unprovoked Scud missile attacks during Desert Storm. Yet you, Hiram, commend this act of appeasement, betrayal and cowardice. Many, if not most Americans support the immoral acts George W. Bush is perpetrating against Israel. Why should Marcel or anyone else that has a moral compass consider most Americans or America Israel's friend. Sure, Israel has a few friends in America. Marcel is a case in point but Marcel is an exception to the rule.
17. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
(01.10.08)
hhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
18. Rentacrowd Zionists and their phoney vox populi faxes
Chalanau, Tova ,   London, UK   (01.10.08)
Zionist e-mail/fax campaigns, with thousands of identical messages sent to 'influence' the press, often have the reverse effect to that intended. For example, at most of the British media that gets targeted by these American spams, the messages are binned with derision. Let's hope GWBush treats them with the same contempt.
19. Bush's Zidy would be very proud
Zippy ,   One World Order   (01.10.08)
http://clamormagazine.org/issues/14/feature3.php This is the proof that Prescott Bush's bank financed Hitler and his Nazi machine--with the complicit approval of the US gov't. Its high time the Jews and true allies of Israel know the truth of Bush and his family legacy. Holocaust survivors should sue the Bush heirs in the US courts to lay all the horrific and grisly details bare. You will find IBM, the Ford Foundation and the Rockefellers as co-conspirators in the annihilation of the Jewish Holocaust---with every desire to see it happen again in Israel. Pass this on. Israel know who your true enemies are and why your governments are so easily blackmailed into the assistance of the next Jewish Holocaust. Let's all pray that the G-d of Israel saves the Jews now---from themselves and their " best friends" !.
20. Pollard will die in prison
Hank ,   USA   (01.10.08)
and no amount of whining is going to change that fact.
21. Israel - blame yourselves for Pollard
Thomas   (01.10.08)
Had he sent you info on the ME alone, he might have been forgiven but he released info on the USSR and your Israeli politicians waved it in the Soviet's faces, which led to pro-American spies being caught. America doesn't want to release Pollard because we have to show potential allies in enemy territory that their safety is important. Pollard is a traitor to his country and for you to support him shows you to be a lousy friend.
22. Phillip #15: No, I read it. Questions for you.
Steve ,   Fla.   (01.10.08)
What does aid have to do with Pollard? What does one have to do with the other? Bush administration -- Mr. Bush and Dr. Rice -- pressure Israel to free Muslim terrorist-murderers as good-will gestures to the Palestinian jihadists. Who did Mr. Pollard murder or conspire to murder? Shouldn't the release of Pollard be judged on the merits? Shouldn't Pollard's time in prison accord with punishment for espionage or spying of a similar nature? Why do you link U.S. aid to Pollard's release or use it as a justification for keeping him in prison? Most people who link U.S. aid to Israel's behavior insist Israel needs to do what she is told by the giver. That is why I wrote, keep your aid. I would prefer living in a tent than take American aid and beholden to her immoral dictates as you would require.
23. Tom #21: Are you in the habit of spreading misinformation?
Steve ,   Fla.   (01.10.08)
I believe your allegations are the unsubstantiated allegations of pro-Palestinian jihadist, pro-Yassir Arafat (a certifiable mass-murderer of Jews), pro-Chechnyan jihadist, Eric S. Margolis. Margolis' charges are unsubstantiated are they not? Do we know that Pollard is guilty of the charges you allege. If so, then I will withdraw my defense of Pollard. Pollard was never charged, indicted or convicted of treason nor of the charges you allege. Was he Thomas?
24. #11 Hiram
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.10.08)
I'm impresed by your love and devotion to your God. When you pray facing west towards Washington please tell them for me that I don't appreciate their nefarious interference with the Israel of God ,OK ?
25. #22 Again Why Pollard?
Phillip ,   NYC USA   (01.10.08)
Pollard broke American laws. He punishment is by American courts..... no one else. So why should another country care how long a traitor is punished. Since I do not live in Israel. I will can not dictate what her policy should be. You want to live in a tent... go ahead. Pollard is where he belongs and where he will stay. An American traitor who spyed for payment.
26. # 21
Thomas   (01.11.08)
I never heard of Margolis untl you pointed it out and from looking a his site, I can only conclue he's a paid "jewboy" for the Muslims. Most of his articles are critical of Israel, India, America, and anyone critical of Islam. Sorry not me. I saw the head of the CIA (sorry I forget his name) on tv, state that he would resign if America ever released Pollard because of the risk he put American moles into. If you recall Reagen wanted to punish Israel for blowing up the Iraqi nuclear reactor by withholding inteligence from them. Pollard took it upon himself to give Israel that information anyway and everything else he could fax over to them, including information relating to Soviet interference in the ME. Again, how did the Soviets find out? The Israelis told them. All I'm saying is Israel outed its own spy. That doesn't make me pro-terrorist. Furthermore, how can you say he was never convicted of treason. Do you really want to claim he was innocent? Why did he flee to the Israeli embassy when he got found out? Innocent people don't flee the country.
27. #13 Marwan Barghouti is a Convicted Terrorist & Murderer
David P. ,   Santa Cruz, USA   (01.11.08)
Does it not strike anyone as odd that Palestinians insist their leaders have experience in planning and orchestrating countless murders? Marwan Barghouti has all the qualifications for and displays all the characteristics of a terrorist. Yet many Israeli leaders still believe that someday he will be able to step in and reform the very ideology which he embodies.
28. #4 Rashid.............i believe you!
freejay ,   Israel   (01.11.08)
Have you offered Mrs Olmert ,a discount on a burkah yet? Also, are burkas unisex or just for female? Im sure her daughter would love one too! Believe me, i think you can get a sale here!
29. Sorry...I aint fightin' for Pollard..and am grateful....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (01.11.08)
for Bush's support of Israel. Pollard was a SPY caught RED HANDED. Go watch the videotapes of him shovelling classified documents into his bag. Have you no SHAME? The Americans owe him NOTHING. So take your stupid faxes and shove them. (in the trash).
30. as if
observer   (01.11.08)
as if it were not enough drowning the best American agents in the Russian Swamp, they want to drown the American President in their flood.
