i want to know why olmert did not pay his respects to the families of those who were murdered.? i think he is heartless.

Deter that Bucktooth Aunt Jemima from sticking her nose into Israel's affairs let her solve Darfur and be a credit to her race. Let her take her co-racist Obama with his Jew hating advisors Brezinski, Malley and Samantha Power and go solve the African problem! Keep Rice out of Israel, rice constipates the peace process!

I thought Israel has announced that it has been defeated in the Lebanon war .... are you dreaming Olmert ?

The best deterence for Israel would be to change governments. Kadima must be thrown out and Likud elected. Right now, Hamas and Hezbollah know that Kadima is not only incompetent, but is afraid of world opinion. The terrorists know that the EU, the UN, and leftist NGO's deny Israel the right of self-defense. The terrorists also know that leftist Jewish organizations also hate to see Israel defend itself and care more about dead terrorists than dead Jewish civilians. The terrorists also know that Kadima is a lap dog of Concie Rice. When she says,"Jump," the Israeli leaders ask, "How high?"

Is Olmert blind or just stupid? No Hizbollah rockets into Israel? What about the thousands coming from Gaza?

Its obvious Olmert doesnt know the difference between the 2! He thinks we can deter through appeasement. We need elections now.....lets get rid of this danger to Israels existance, before he gives everything away!!

on Israel, I would not count on peace for long until those arsenals are destroyed. Having the USS Cole and a battle group off the coasts of Lebanon is certainly helpful in a temporary peace. But wars will come and the young need to be prepared by serving in the IDF before that. Shirking IDF duty is national suicide since the Prophet Zechariah says two thirds of Israel will die in the wars leading up to the coming of the Jewish Messiah. Reading the Torah and learning weaponry are both important for all able bodied Israelis. "Serve the Lord and pass the ammunition."

Olmert, your house is at a walking distance from the Yeshivat Mercaz Harav. You, as a jogging addict, could easily reach the Yeshiva for a personal condolence presentation.Did you do it? No,. Will you do it?

He called them our sons, and the place where he murdered his home. That is respect. There is great pain for all of us at times like these. Even when Sharon was prime minister, no amount of dead Palestinians will ever equal the value we place on our brothers and sisters. But we must remember in world war 2 the ratio of casualties was about 2 to 5. We are not losing this war, and when the fence around Jerusalem (and the rest of Israel) is completed it will be near impossible for a terrorist to get his hands on an assault rifle.

"There is a direct link between the Qassam Rocket s and the terror attack in Jerusalem. Both are intended to make our lives unbearable". He went on to say, "But THAT is MY job, and I think I am doing wonderfully, don't you agree?" Why doesn't that Putz just be quiet? Can't he wait quietly for the next Winograd?

Olmert is an incompetent fool. The only thing that he has achieved is lining his own and that of his friends' pockets. He couldn't care less what happens to the citizens of Israel. His actions lead me to ask whether he is receiving payment from the Arabs.

...since Hezbollah and HAMAS will provoke Israel into attacking them anyway to show that they have the balls to stand up to the mighty IDF. Deterrence between 2 nations or 2parties works when both parties are of relatively equal strength and both fear the other side's intentions. Israel doesnt have to fear Hezbollah or Hamas militarily...they are too small, and it doesnt need to acheive deterrence to keep hezbollah or hamas from attacking - they are planning that anyway. Israel needs to do 3 things and 3things only! 1. Prepare and fix the IDF so the problems that appeared during the war in 2006 dont happen again. 2. Get rid of Olmert and the Kadima party..As long as Olmert is in power and keeps showing the arabs that he's all the time "wishing for peace"...this is surest sign to other side that he's weak which will not deter them from trying to attack again. 3. When....not if, but when the next war starts....hamas and hezbollah need to be eliminated militarily, psychologically, financially, etc.. There doesnt need to be any cease fires or pullbacks or UN sponsored resolutions to end the fighting. Israel needs to fight to win, not to fight and then be forced to strike a temporary deal whereby the enemy can re-arm for the next war and then ask for another cease-fire and another...and another. Would the US agree to a cease fire with Al-qaeda???????? Israel needs to end this cycle of terror which will in the long run save many more lives than its costing right now - both arab & Israeli, military and civilian.

olmert you are an absolote comedian. The only thing you ac hieved against Hezbollah is a loss of Israeli deterrance power, then you go out and say that you gained it deterrance,m what planet do you live on?. You are a clown mate.

I'm shocked at the silence that has come from Israel's leaders over this brutal murder. No response, no seeming outrage, just nothing. If the nation has lost its will to fight, then it really will be wiped off the map, and that right soon.

Deluded. He will take Israel down (with the enemy's help).

Is Israel had deterrence BEFORE you and Livni Fd it UP! At this point in time all I want to do is VOMIT every time I see or hear this TRAITOR who is ONLY interested in his own aggrandizement.

you stop this Putz process and start filling east Yerushalaim of Police stations and of Jews.The same goes to Judea and Samaria. Start pushing arabs far from Israel and not bringing them nearer and nearer ,helping them to reach their goal of rid Israel of the map.Start ridding them from Israel instead.For every wrong doing of them ,strip the citizenship of 1000 arabs.Demolish THEIR houses not Jew's.

this delusional fool,belongs in a insane asylum,for the criminally insane,this criminally insane,traitorous,incompotent delusional,pathetic coward,who petends to be PM will single handedly destroy israel PLEASE PLEASE get rid of this curse OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR COUNTRY

Deterrence is like a guarentee, it only works if the word of the man behind it is worth anything! Given Olmert's track record, what do you all think? Another thing: If he really thinks he achieved deterrence against hezbollah, then I would like to ask him where he can find a drug that can make one so delusional! I need a break from reality too sometimes.

The US took Calif. from Mexico. The Arabs took the territories and E. Jerusalem as well as Jordan, from the Jews. Yet the world considers Israel an occupying power. The aggressor Arabs fire 11,000 rockets into Israel, and Israel's response is considered unjust, collective punishment, and excessive force. If Mexico fired rockets into Cal. our marines would be in Baja California within days., then on to Mexico City. Israel has yet to find answer to the rockets..and suicide bombers. Perhaps more security at the yeshivas would help..and finish that fence.

If Hizbullah hasn't fired any rockets in the last year and a half, how exactly did Katyushas hit Shlomi less than two months ago?? Did the rockets walk there on their own?

Current proposals like the Road Map are totally unworkable and should be abandoned. Considering the fact that the only possible relations between the Muslims and the non-Muslims are war or a limited ceasefire, it follows that the word “peace” should be deleted from Israel’s lexicon as well as the notion of peace with the Arabs as a viable, political possibility. The maximum that Israel can aim for is a limited ceasefire or an armistice, taking into consideration that the Arab side will violate it at any time, as the Palestinians have been proving on a daily basis since the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. The solution to the Israelo-Arab problem should be find elsewhere as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/win-win-solution-to-arab-israeli_7104.html

The only thing that can save Israel now is a quiet, velvet, non-violent military coup d'etat, wrenching power from Olmert and the other EU, UN, BUSH/Rice puppets in just a matter of minutes. Olmert will continue on as "PM" in the sense that he will kiss babies at local "elections" and cut ribbons at department store or shopping mall openings. The other sub-puppets will keep their mouths shut.No, I'm serious.It's a simple matter of life and death. The puppet Olmert and his vice-puppets WILL KILL YOU !!! ISRAELIS, CAN"T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

It took him this long to open his mouth at all. One can only presume he was waiting for Rice and Abbas to tell him what to say
