yes the deal has been struck. pullout is being planned. sudden removal of key officers of mossad and idf will be sign that handover is emminent. olmert is convinced he has more than enough power in knesset to succeed. deal also incudes the handover of sderot and the withdrawal to pre-1967 borders. this will be massive, middle of the night operation. as the idf units pull out hamas and hezbollah will units will enter and occupy. if operation is a success olmenrt plans to declare all other polictical parties null and void and delare a state of emergency that will in effect make him dictator for life.
3. 3 judges called Ramon 'a professional liar'.
redmiike ,   TA - LA - London   (02.13.08)
Shas needs to quit now and I believe it will have too. It has nothing to lose as it will be much more comfortable in a Bib run government. Olmert knows it's only a matter of time before he's booted it out but he is lost in his own egoism and will not do the 'decent' thing so he has to be forced out. Mike
4. We need to separate those treacherous
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.13.08)
parasites of sh-ass from the Jewish people. They support the enemy olmert and his cowardly regime. We need a party that will promise to have trials for treason for all members of the kadima/labor gang. We need a party that will move out all arabs from Jerusalem and clean out Hebron of arab trespassers.
5. King Olmert has spoken
zionist forever   (02.13.08)
Shas said they would pull out the coalition if Olmert started doing deals over Jerusalem. Well geuss what Olmert & his crooked regime are holding backroom talks with the terrorists and have all but signed the papers saying that they are going to divide the city and Shas are still quite happy where they are .. keeping this bunch of crooks in power. Both Jerusalem & the Golan Heights were formerly anexed to Israel by Menachem Begin and the laws says that any plans to give up those areas must first have a Knesset majority vote followed by a referendum allowing the people to have the final say in the matter. King Olmert the first believes that neither the Knesset or the will of the people matter if he commands something to be done it will be done or you will be punished for it. I WANT TO DIVIDE JERUSALEM I WILL DIVIDE JERUSALEM ACCEPT THE FACT I WILL DIVIDE JERUSALEM

7. #4 Freedom of Speech
fiona ,   jerusalem   (02.14.08)
You have the freedom to write your opinion. You're very lucky to have that freedom. I'm very privileged to share that freedom with you. You're a racist, an intolerant, and your written word is violent and unrefined. You are unhelpful and childish in your definition, ignorant and unsophistocated in your outlook. I once marched against the UN 'Zionism is Racism' declaration in the late 70s. As a Jewish resident of Jerusalem, with children in the Israeli army, I could not possibly defend that now. Mr White, you are a Zionist racist. Such a thing truly does exist. You'll soon have nobody left paying Jerusalem's bills.

11. whats in it for Israel?
zionist forever   (02.14.08)
Assuming a deal has been done which will give the PLO soverignty over arab villages & naighborhoods what does Israel get out of this deal ? Will all the Israeli arabs living in these villages & other areas that will be given to the PLO loose their Israeli citizenship at least lowering the arab population of Israel? Unlikley these arabs will probably fight for duel natonatity after all if an ollah can have duel nationality why cant an arab born here and they will go to international courts who will allmost certainly rule against any Israeli plan to take citizenship from them. Even the Americans would probably support a ruling like this afterall if we are against a right of return then we should at least accept the demand that Israeli arabs dont loose their citizenship. We will then be in a position where we have divided Jerusalem but still got just as many arabs so there has been nothing gained and alot lost. Olmert has no right to do deals on thing like this he might like to consider himself one but he is not a king. Israel is not his private property to do as he wills with as hard as he has been trying Israel is still a democracy he hasnt changed that yet and in a democracy you have laws and those laws are above any individual ruler. The people need to start making their voices heard before our King does sell Jerusalem and the rest of the country because nobody spoke up when they had the chance.

Shas are not a party of G-D they are a party of prostitues and they will get into bed with the politicians that offer them the most money and power. Shas are a bunch of political prostitutes who belong in this crooked regime. BARAK - he knows labour dont have a chance come ellection time so stay in the coalition he at least has defesne. SHAS - there is now a good chance they will loose seats to other political parties or secular right wing ones like Likud. KADIMA - its history and if the defectors were smart they would abandon ship while they still have a chance because wait till the ellction is over and Kadima enters into the history books their careers are over at least if they return to the parties they defected from they will still have a future in politics because in time they will be forgiven. The likes of Shual Mofaz shuldnt be thininking about fighting for the Kadima leadership he should be trying to get back into Likud. This whole regime has become a corupt government of men & women who are more interested in personal power than Israel and if these people had been around 60 years ago there would be no Israel because they would have abandoned the idea of a jewish state in exchange for personal glory & power.
13. Where is Shas now? in the knesset?
jack bauer   (02.14.08)
it is clear and always has been, that olmert and ramon are corrupt treacherous scum. And tzipi follows along like a good pet lapdog Jerusalem must never be divided. The title to the land belongs to Hashem alone, and not any pagan usurpers. What happened to the law? Why wont the police arrest olmert and ramon? The jewish people must resist by all means the plan for the destruction of the country.
14. Now you see it...Now you don't...
EGW ,   vancouver canada   (02.14.08)
JUST ANOTHER- example of Ahmed Oilymert's crookedness and double-talk.. He says that he and Abbas are meeting regularly and need no one else to negotiate etc. It's WELL KNOWN that Oilymert is NOT doing the negotiating although it's being done according to his instructiions. It's LIVNI who heads the negotiating team, so whilst Oilymert is "theoretically" telling the truth, he's still a liar and obfuscator. Are the israeli people so SIMPLE???
15. What a shame Nir
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.14.08)
I supported Nir Barkat because he chose to remain aloof from the usual political mud slinging and accusations/ This may put him in the headlines but sadly it also places him as yet another politician with nothing positive to give to the tired people of Jerusalem. If you want to become Mayor of the greatest City in the world stick to what you can do to help not spread rumours
16. Jerusalem the Only Holie place to Judaisn.
Jean Van Daem   (02.14.08)
One of the most popular lies that has become universally accepted as if it was an indisputable truth is the myth about Jerusalem being the third sacred place to Islam. It is quite rare to hear the honest truth, that Jerusalem is the First and Only Holiest place to Judaism! As a matter of fact, Jerusalem is not mentioned at all in the koran, and Muhammad has never been there (perhaps he did not even know about the existence of Jerusalem!). The tale about his dream flight has been related with Jerusalem in a very recent time for political strategy purposes. The Islamic claim to the Temple Mount is very recent - Jerusalem's role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s. It was created by the grand mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/myths-and-facts-about-jerusalem-and.html
17. Shas, you Liars!!!
Esther   (02.14.08)
No ethics No honesty No integrity You rotten liars, money is all that matters. You couldnt care less about Jerusalem, or anything else but your money boxes. You sicken me.
18. Write The Shas
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (02.14.08)
Write the SHAS and ask them to leave the coalition and call for new elections. Here is a link with the email addresses. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/2008/01/open-letter-to-shas-and-utj.html

Colin ,   Canada   (02.14.08)
This vs of scripture describes that Jerusalem will one day be divided again..."and half of the city will go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
