The peoples will have to handle business on their own.

Weasel that he is, this cheap political hack with zero integrity seeks to evade responsibility. Sderot has good reason to be angry & that anger is justifiably directed at Olmert. Olmert only has a plan of inaction - do nothing & count on people's apathy to survive politically. He knows he can count on the other self-interested politicians to keep him in office. Before making aliyah from my Third-World Arab home, I used to tell my friends that in the space on our ID cards where it said "nationality" they should write "victim" - it being the appropriate description of how our gov't. treated it's citizens. Sadly, it's just as appropriate here in Israel.

and if Sderot, the north, and all the state of Israel and its citizen's have to pay the price for Olmert to cling to power, then so be it...

What in G-d's Name has Olmert and his sidekick Barak been doing for the past 2 years or are we going to implement the same action plan as the last one for the next two years ?

NOBODY WANTS YOUR WISHES The currpt olmert must be disposed of immidiately.He does not care for the people of sderot or Israel Calls pioneers who are building a future settlers-Is not all Israel settlements as in America There in america they easily killed the idians and settled the land.He is giving away Jerusalem and with lies keeps his coalition intact.olmert shares no pain .has no anger for the arabs only jews because he knows they will kick him out of his office and stop his perks.

Olmert OUT!

This stupid government has been threatening a harsh response for the past 2 years of kassam fire, and now admits it has no idea, no plan, no solution, and no balls.

"...but what is needed is systematic and organized action over time" Our dear PM said We have been systematically planning to avert such attacks for last 60 years (Or more)! How long you want to get organized for such action? It is better we rock your chair, than get rocked by missile attacks. You are failure in last war, you are failing in negotiations with Palestinian PM, you are failure about "Sderot problems" How many more failures you want? Get out on your own Olmert, faster the better for you.

The very idea of fortifying Sderot is a wrong one! And so is his thinking that the Hamas leaders will be cowed into submission if they think that they might get assassinated. They welcome martyrdom! "Peace in our time" Olmert is applying European thinking to Islam and it doesn't work. Hamas simply needs to believe that the price of firing kassams is too high! Chamberlain was forced to resign and Olmert must be forced to as well! http://blindfaiths.notlong.com Mike

you are right anger is not a plan but you dont do anything to stop the qassam you only talk attack thm from the air and make an end to suffering in sderot

It is a fact that many Jews were idealistic in the past and still are nowadays. But in order to live in Sderot these days, you should not only be an idealist but also have a lot of courage. Qassam rockets are being launched daily on Sderot but they do not abandon their town, they try to go on in a daily routine life. We can only admire these people …and this situation is going on since several years as describe at : http://tinyurl.com/35gxul

When will we take to the streets? Will we wait until little children of Sderot are murdered by Paleothugs? We must put an end to the Paleos dancing over our childrens' graves and their false "victimhood". Olmert and his nasty, selfish government MUST be unseated TODAY!

the government would not be so indifferent to the situation. What is it going to take to make this government move and do the right thing?

Even the left want you out! Your greedy coalition are also complacent in your crimes and should be put on trial along with you! Destroy the country for your own personal gains........you will pay the price!

olmert' comments are completetly wrong!

ohlmert - come up with one.........................................going to germany is not going to solve any problems. r u running away???????

kol ha kavod on your English, I thought that you were a native speaker. Perhaps one of your parents spoke English at home? Mike

How Olmertian of the alleged PM. Anger is an ingredient, folded into any recipe for response. Cooly sitting and gazing at the navel of meager and wimpy inaction; considering how this will look to the media, or will reflect in political polling is exactly the hallmark of the incompetent and blundering Olmert regime. Rewarding negative behavior with a stern warning or half hearted slap on the butt never works. Olmert can issue a warning though. Wait until Abba comes home, meaning Bibi.

"I take full responsibility for my government's response to what has been happening to Sderot the past years." Ehud Olmert

It's a complicated story .... It's really a shame to be able to compare the Israeli gov't. to a Third-World Arab country - but it seems the comparison is justified. We're not citizens here, we're victims. Our politicians care as much about us as those from my home country which is not at all. That's a shame in any language.

plan, good job! 4 more years!

Thats why he is fluent in English.

"Anger is not an action plan"........and I suppose inaction is an action plan.

The Leftist Recipe to Hell for Israel is embolding the terrorists to rain more rocket attacks on Israel. It is TIME for a change to ensure Israel's security interests and deter the enemies. The ravenous wolves understand and respect only strength and NOT weakness. It is called Deterrence.

out of office. he is a coward and should be removed from politics permanently. We should build a maximum security prison for olmert and his gang. Solitary confinement till their trials for treason and cowardice.

olmert fits the description of a Socio-path. No morals or feelings for his own people. The only reaction you get from him is when he is confronted with his own ineptness, then dumps the blame on others. He is an anal-retentive fool. He says " we will take action over time" How much time does he think Israels people have? Two more years? Hamas has declared war on Israel, in the media and in its actions. Israel needs to declare war on hamas, in the media and in actions. Then eradicate hamas like the vermin they are. Most important- Flush olmert and co.
