1. Israel must be cleaned of this excrement called olmerd!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (05.26.08)
2. Olmert: liar, felon and fraud and also delusional
Ilan ,   Ariel   (05.26.08)
People on the left shouldn't be too encouraged that Olmert has taken the lemming line. You should realize that he isn't sincere and is only doing it to save the only thing he really loves: his envelope padded behind.
3. it's the corruption, stupid!
Rafael ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (05.26.08)
To think that you can get away with your corrupt ways is the delusion, Mr. Olmert.
4. Teflon PM will give away the last hector of Israel, stop him
Yonatan ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
Israel does not need this left wing nut job.
5. Not just delusional - he is very dangerous!!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (05.26.08)
I think - maybe - he should be given a mental evaluation.
6. Olmert's words
Aliza ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.08)
Word like Olmert's only encourage the Arab enemy to keep attacking in order to cause us to give up more and more land. What will be left of our country?
7. Peace with Syria: Olmert is delusional!
David ,   Karmeil, Israel   (05.26.08)
Olmert must go NOW but the Likud is not an option. MK Livnat was probably the worst Education minister that we have ever had. Even worse than the present one, Prof. Yuli Tamir. At least Tamir is educated! As for the the Golan, well her hero, Bibi Netanyanhu, gave away Hebron and also negotiated over the Golan. A fact that MK Netanyahu seems to have forgotten in his "Golan: diatribe the other day wass that HIS party failed miserably in the development of the Galilee and the Golan. They transferred funds earmarked for the development of the neglected north to Judea and Samaria. The Likud seems to think that we have short memories. Well, when is comes to the elderly, the sick, the handicapped and the poor we do not forget and we will not forgive!
8. Olmert - He knows a fantasy when he sees one
YMBMY ,   Modiin, Israel   (05.26.08)
Hey Olmert - Only a fanatasist believes you won the Second Lebanon war. Only a fantasist believes that talking to Syria now will produce peace. Only a fantasist says that believes that you will get thru this year without being indicted. Only a fantasist believes you truly represent Israel. My a remind you, your sons have homes in Paris and New York. Do us a favor, go live with them now before you get unceremoniously kicked out of office.
9. Olmert is giving the green light to Greater Palestine!
israeli ,   israeli   (05.26.08)
10. The olmert speech writers
Arie ,   BaGolan   (05.26.08)
Straight from paliwood. It has become more than apparent what his goals and intentions are:diversion from his impending jail sentence; acceptance in the arab world as their new saviour; the demise of the Jewish State in return for hostile states offering him shelter and financing.
11. RobertK: PM a Delusion
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.08)
a bad trip on peyote
12. Olmert would know all about being dilusional
zionist forever   (05.26.08)
The man thinks the country is his to do with as he wants for his own personal reason because heis PM and doesnt yet have the job of cleaning the prison toilets. No primeminister, president or any other politician has the right to sell off the country at their leisure. To him the peace process means making Israel a dictaitorship like every other state in the region that way the arabs have no reason to hate us because we are just one of the boys and Olmert will be the one to proudly lead the way as our first dictaitor. Once we have got rid of this crook then the public need to start making demands for a constiution, a new representetive political system where we directly ellect MKS we dont have a situation where the party wins a certain number of seats then the party leader decides who will fill them. We also need laws over the Golan and Jerusalem meaning any deals done must be approoved by a large Knesset majority followed by an indipendently drafeted referenmdum so we dont get the government rigging the questions so they can say they win however it turns out. Tome for this man to go to prison where he belongs and the public to be given the ellection the majority have been calling for.
13. What is "Greater Israel" and what is "a Jewish State"?
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
"Greater Israel" is the country that was given by G-d to ALL Jews; religious or not-yet-religious. It does NOT belong to you, Mr. Olmert, personally and you have NO right giving away any bit of Israeli territory. Even if in your wildest imaginations there might be peace by giving land away, it's all just in your mind – shtuyot! There can never be peace with the Arabs until Moshiach comes. If you want "a Jewish State", that would surely mean a TRULY JEWISH STATE the way G-d likes it, by keeping His Torah like true Jews. That would be nice. How about starting with the Knesset?
14. "How he brought Hamas to Gaza and Hizbullah to Lebanon"?
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.08)
Funny it was Barak that gave back Lebanon and Sharon who gave back Gaza. Seems that history need not be old to be misremembered or misused.
15. QUESTION ????
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (05.26.08)
Ynet keeps on printing quotes by Olmert on a daily basis. Do they Ynet believe that many of us listen,believe,trust or take notice of this delusional PM. On top of that Olmert and his gang do anything to destroy the Jewish character of this land. So all this blah blah about a Jewish state is rubbish, the state and its institutions and especially Ynet hate Judaism with a passion. All they are interested in is a secular democracy were enrichment is the only purpose in life.
16. Where are the protests? Why are Israelis silent?
LEE ,   NY, USA   (05.26.08)
17. olmert's hysterics
alex   (05.26.08)
olmert's weakness among other things, is his absolute hysterical beliefs in arab demographics and his inabilility to handle blood and war, an area of sheer panic for him. He will give away anything to avoid it. For example, he says his fear of war with syria led him to negotiate with Syria.To make a reasonable peace with Syria is one thing if it is possible but a PM must not fear war, rather he has to ensure the country is ready for it. This he cannot do, he is paralysed. How much land can israel give up and for what? Like Israel has so much to give up. Fatah is the same as hamas only they are less honest and less driven. Olmert lost lebanon, caused numerous israelis to be killed there and southern israel because of his gaza withdrawal, and has accepted cash for donors. No one should be stupid about this. He did it in return for granting favors. he is an arrogant crook who has taught his sons real duty-to avoid serving in the idf.olmert is sick and should be locked up in a mental hospital.
18. syria negotiation
marcel   (05.26.08)
While our genius Pm tells us about his peace with syria intentions, Syria is engaged in a huge buy of russian military equipment with iranian underwriting. So we are to withdraw in this context? He also tells us that all the PMs were prepared to give up the golan.He is lying outright. Not all were prepared to give up the golna. The difference is Olmert who has no clue about military matters would give it up in a heartbeat. He never had to fight nor his 2 sons who are cowards like him hiding outside of the country. While israelis bleed and get slammed by missiles, this ogre dines in hotel rooms paid by talansky. How could israelis elect someone who is clearly such a coward as Olmert?Shut him up and get rid of him already. Don't wait because his buddy Mazzuzz will not indict like the sellouts winograd were, who harmed the country by allowing olmert to continue. Any idiot would have had olmert step down. Finally what about israeli land claims? The golan is part of historic israel? So is the west bank! What are the arabs exactly asked to give up?
19. Believe in "Greater Israel " Olmert or Step ASIDE
Sam   (05.26.08)
20. The envelopes stuffed with cash were no delusion.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (05.26.08)
That was real money in those envelopes. The police investigations are no delusion either. Hopefully, the prison cell will be no delusion & Olmert will have plenty of spare time to reflect on the meaning of the word, "accountability" ....
21. Olmert Is The Weak Link In The Chain
Not Jewish ,   USA   (05.26.08)
The chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Israeli Jews should boot this delusional fool out of office before he does more damage to the Jewish state.
22. Olmert calls Hashem Delusional
Marcel ,   Floirda   (05.26.08)
The wicked man has much boldness and points not to the jihadists as the problem but to fellow Jews who know Who THEY BELIEVE. THEY DON'T BELIEVE YOU ,OLMERT marcel poster 18 above is not me. He should identify himself by location at least to differentiate himslef from me)
23. Letting Olmert stay in office is the GREATEST delusion ever!
jan ,   usa   (05.26.08)
24. Israel a Jewish state.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.08)
Arabs should accept that just as Ire-Land is the Land of the Irish and Eng-Land the Land of the English and Fin-Land the Land of the Finns, the name Eretz Yisrael means the Land of the Israelis. The identity of the land is the same as the identity of the nation residing in it; therefore, the Nation of Israel, the Jews, cannot be an occupier of the Land of Israel. The Crusaders named the land “Kingdom of Jerusalem.” The Arab occupation did not have a name for the land; it was referred to merely as “southern Syria.” For 1,300 years, the land had no identity in the absence of the Biblical Jewish nation that identified itself with it. No one claimed ownership but our nation. This is the entire story. The Arabs demand that Ehud Olmert transfer the land free and clear of Jews. As long as there are Jews in Judea, that place cannot not be called by its false name – “Palestine.” The only thing that stops the cadre of traitors from transferring our land to the enemy, already at our gates, is their inability to uproot the settlements. Those communities halt the wheels of destruction as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi9g8
25. smolmert
gavriel eskel ,   maoz zion israel   (05.26.08)
there is no greater israel. it is only whole israel on smaller israel, and it is the smaller one what smolmert is trying to offer for the jews
26. How does giving away the Golan effect the Jewish nature of t
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (05.26.08)
There are 22,000 Jews in the Golan and growing. There are 21,000 mostly friendly Druze. This fool Olmert recently stayed in the Golan during his Pesach holidays, yet he now wants to give it away. Keeping the Golan in no way hurts Israels' demographic situation and is essential for our water and military situation.
27. but the bible is clear = the land,all, is jewish
augustine e johnson ,   birmingham-usa   (05.26.08)
since the bible says all the land is jewish then if anything israel needs to expand ========= shalom========== augustine e johnson-usa
28. oy vei!
oded   (05.26.08)
look who is in charge of our course in history... a corrupt, inept, a man with zero vision and clout, a man so entrenched with criminal activities that he would make don corleone look innocent... the only path to greatness is by having the greater israel vision. get rid of this moron already!
29. Israel is Delusional
(05.26.08)
It has a prime minister with a steady 4% popularity rating while any other democracy would have called for impeachment with such low ratings. Now the loser is borrowing from James "F*** the Jews, they don't vote for us anyway" Baker's 'Greater Israel" spiel. What's next? Maybe he'll concede land to an enemy state to keep his corruptrion off the front page.
30. #29 That's exactly what's happening. Olmert doesn't want his
corrupt ways to be ,   on the front page!   (05.26.08)
