31. yes i agree!
Pablo ,   NYC   (05.26.08)
similar to what's happening in Bolivia i think anyone who wants to take land from the state and the people who want to take land should be sentenced to death!i've been to both places and at the age of 32 i'm going back to Israel again this summer!
32. Giving back the Golan
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya   (05.26.08)
I just don't believe it will ever happen . If this country gives back the Golan more Israelis will die as we will have to take it back
33. THESE TALKBACKS ARE A FREAK SHOW OF THE DREGS OF AM YISROEL!
David ,   Los Angeles   (05.26.08)
Roll up! Roll up! Check out the dregs of Am Yisroel, the mentally unstable, the Christian anti-Semites and Jews For Jesus who support them.
34. Miriam #30: Hear, hear! Eldad for PM.
Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)

Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)
Why do you favor giving our precious land to the enemy? Reading what you wrote is so disheartening. "We might relinquish some land." Is this what Jewish values have come to in Israel today? Does your thinking reflect the thinking of most Jews in Israel? It is sad to read what you wrote. As a Jew, you are disappointing.
36. I. Kemp #32: Don't you understand?
Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)
Don't you understand, Ehud Olmert does not care if more Jews will die? Mr. Olmert cares about remaining in office. He does not care about innocent Jewish lives. He does not care if innocent Jewish women and children die if it means he can continue in office.. You don't believe it. Why? Ehud Olmert gave up Gaza. Rockets are falling. Jews are injured and killed. Ehud Olmert does nothing. You don't believe it will ever happen?
37. #29, your response is unrelated to what I wrote.
DkS ,   J'lem, IL   (05.26.08)
We do not threaten a fellow Israeli/Jew with death if we do not agree with his political stance. Disagree or don't disagree, but incitement to kill, no matter if it has some kind of base in Israeli law, is utterly rejectable. And I can tell you for sure that Eldad didn't give a damn about the exact wording of the law, nor do I think he read it carefully. It's simply his despicable opinion for which he is trying to find an excuse. According to his words, also Begin should have been sentenced to death, and Netanyahu too. And because Nasrallah might have said something stupid like he always does, does that mean we have to compare ourselves to him? We want to lower ourselves to his level and his ridiculous rhetoric? You apparently just did.
38. Eldad should be thrown in prison
Moshe Z. Matitya ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.26.08)
And so should anybody else who dares to quote the text of the paragraph on treason from the Israeli Penal Code.
39. #37-difference between political stance and suicide
Arie ,   BaGolan   (05.26.08)
40. We all agree with Eldad
Amit ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.08)
There is no point to wait till the Olmert leaves the country and then we wouldn't be able to put him in jail.. Olmert must be jailed NOW. Eldad is correct 100%.
41. Moshe Z. #38: Why?
Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)
You wrote: "Eldad should be thrown in prison. And so should anybody else who dares to quote the text of the paragraph on treason from the Israeli Penal Code. " Who are you to pronounce judgment on the righteous and the innocent? Are you a god in Jerusalem? Is Moshe Z. the god of Israel? Shall we bow the KNEE to Moshe Z.?
42. "He must immediately take back what he said."
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (05.26.08)
This is the actual statement of one of the Kadima morons. Are they still in elementary school - "take back what he said"?? I've never seen such juvenalia parading around as the government of a modern nation. Absolutely pathetic. To give away the Golan would be stupidity cubed (which is just normal for leftist idiots) and all those who attempt to force the state into this certainly deserve the full penalties of treason.
43. Ceding Israeli terrotory
Professor M Rudner ,   Ottawa, Canada   (05.26.08)
Would MK Eldad's threat to impose the death penalty on anyone ceding Israel territory also have applied to King Solomon? After all, King Solomon ceded the region of Cabul (today's Western Galilee) to Tyre in order to help pay for the imports used to build the Temple.
44. Professor M: Why the professors?
Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)
Why is this Professor M? "Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD fully, as David his father had done." 1Ki 11:6 What is it with professors, Professor M?
45. Why is the crook Olmerts blood more red than the people who
me ,   NJ USA   (05.26.08)
Why is the crook Olmert's blood more important, than all the people of the Golan, & the people who could suffer or heaven forbid die due to the situation.
46. Dear Professor #43 (obviously not in history), I think the..
Stewart ,   USA   (05.27.08)
.. the laws were a bit different between now - the modern secular state - and then - King Solomon's biblical times. P.S. I'll bet you King Solomon didn't have to get and take bribes to get where he did.
47. Tibi goes to conference representing "Palestine"...
YMBMY ,   Modiin, Israel   (05.26.08)
....and no one from Labor or Meretz complains. But G-d forbid, a Jew invovkes the law to protect the Land thru legal means, Labor and Meretz are up in arms.
48. Wow, you guys really need a Messiah.
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (05.26.08)
49. ELDAD QUOTED ARTICLE 97 OF ISRAEL PENAL CODE
SERGIO ,   ISRAEL   (05.26.08)
There has been no Cabinet nor Parliament decision, hence Olmert and whoever initiated this is not covered by the exepmtion decided by the Supreme Court.
50. Olmert's blood #45 is green! The color of American money.
Stewart ,   USA   (05.27.08)
51. The Fascist nature of the Left
Yisraeli   (05.27.08)
In the letter titled "A treason offence", Eldad claimed that "the Golan Heights Law from 1981 applies the Israeli law on the Golan Heights as it is a sovereign part of the State of Israe. The Israeli Penal Code from 1977 defines in clause 97B the term 'treason': A person who caused a territory to be removed from the State's sovereignty or enter the sovereignty of a foreign country, an act which could lead to a death sentence or life imprisonment." Eldad quoted the law nothing extraordinary in that. If theres anything this article shows the true nature of Leftists whether MK's or commentators here. If a Leftist does not like a comment whether true or based in law, he goes on a rampage and calls for a lynching, thats Fascism in its truest form.
52. WHO STOLE MY COUNTRY
ALI ,   PALESTINE   (05.27.08)
LOOK I THINK ISRAEL SHOULD EXIST AND SO SHOULD PALESTINE
53. golan giveaway.
paul ,   jacksonheights N.Y.   (05.27.08)
Tell the truth and you will be subjects to be called an incitor. There is a law in Israel isnt it for special crimes as treason as in the case in giving away Israel's land to the enemy?All the honor to Mr.Eldad for proclaming the truth.
54. law
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (05.27.08)
What Eldad may be true but was unnecessary. He knows very well that Meni Mazuz will never apply the law against the Left. What is funny is how the Law is sacred to the Left only when it serves their political interests. Condemning soldiers who had moral qualms about evicting Jews, Ran Cohen stated that an order is an order.
55. #52 You idiot! You don't have a country!
Walter ,   Jeff's Suitcase   (05.27.08)
Go back to Jordan. Or Egypt. Or Syria. Or Iraq. Or Saudi Arabia...
56. Golan Is Jewish
Not Jewish ,   USA   (05.27.08)
From what I have read 65 to 70 % of Israeli's oppose giving up Golan. The Golan give away scheme is going no where.
57. Ali #52: Why should Israel exist?
Steve ,   US   (05.27.08)
Why do you say Israel should exist when Palestinians deny Israel's right to exist? Evem Mahmoud Abbas denies Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. And who are you Ali, to speak in behalf of the Palestinian Muslim people? Palestinians democratically elected Hamas to represent them. Hamas says Israel should not exist.
58. #52 why steal what is not yours?
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, MO USA   (05.27.08)
Unless you come from the peninsula of thieves of your own name. dar al islam does not make it right for you to have slithered out from the peninsula of your own name long after the Jewish people existed in their land. Go back to your own and leave the rest of asia and africa in peace. Funny how you call yourself a pal. It just goes to show how little self-respect you have to use the name of another for yourself. You justify your lack of self-respect as it is a convenient means to an end, the end of a Jew on ancient Jewish land. Jewish land long before they were exiled from it or you had any short term (less than 100 years total) control over it.
59. KOL HAKAVOD
zionist forever   (05.27.08)
Nice to see somebody willing to speak up and say something thats not politicly correct. As for Meeretz they are ashamed of the fact Israel or judaism still exist in this day and age and any excuse possible to criticise anybody that cares about either they will jump on.
60. # 52 Nobody. You Have a Country with a Capital
(05.27.08)
It's called Amman. The majority of Jordanians call themselves Palestinians. enjoy.
