sas ,   israel   (05.28.08)
IS OUR SERIOUS PROBLEM. HE MUST RESIGN N THE SOONER THE BETTER. The man is a "sick" man. All he cares about is his pocket and not the country.

sas ,   israel   (05.28.08)
as prime minister - we will be a country without a leader. the woman is good 4 nothing. she is not intelligent - actually she is quite stupid. the only thing going for her SO FAR is that she is not corrupt. But she is missing some screws in her brain.
4. The press have a role to play now.
redmiike ,   Tel Aviv, London, LA   (05.28.08)
The press have a role to play now. They must make it clear to any and every MK or Minister that perhaps doesn't yet understand it, that any one of them that continues to support Olmert will be tarred with the same brush. It needs to be made abundantly clear that any MK or Minister that now supports Olmert will no longer have a political career ahead of him. No, "ifs, buts and maybes", a total condemnation is required. Mike
5. Labor : Olmert must go"
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya, Israel   (05.28.08)
They have the power to bring him down. If they don't they are as guilty as Olmert. He sent the IDF to war inadequately equipped to supprot his excessive life style at other peoples expense including those who were KIA or injured and that is the most sickening of all.
6. then they all must go
Doron   (05.28.08)
"Almost every person who ran for a senior position in the State of Israel raised funds." Fine, get rid of them. Where is Benny Begin when you need him?
7. Sounds like Ziberstein is using extortion!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (05.28.08)
You notice how Ziberstein is trying to use extortion to shut Barak and other MKs up. This is how Olmert got into power in the first place. He used the same tactics with Sharon to get what he wanted. The man is a disgrace and totally corrupt. You watch him blow the bag after he is forced to leave the government. No minister will be safe! Elections NOW....NO INCOMPETENT LIVNI STANDING IN!
8. Olmert will not resign until he'll be pulled off
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.28.08)
his comfortable chair and relocated into jail. Other ministers like BenIzri and Deri were indicted and imprisoned for far far far less than Olmert's loads of corruptions. Is it just that because Olmert is secular Leftist that he gets superior treatment?
9. Barak and Livni
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (05.28.08)
take Smolmert's hand and leave together at once.
10. olmert will have to be dragged out screaming.
debra ,   usa   (05.28.08)
11. ohlmert
fdf ,   israel   (05.28.08)
he has to go forever. the man cannot return to politics. he is an embarrassment to the state of israel. never did we have such things.
12. Olmert will finally be removed & there MUST be new elections
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.28.08)
No way can Livni or any other Kadima member or anyone else take his place without elections. If Israel is supposed to be a "democratic" country, we cannot have another Olmert a self-elected prime minister who had no qualifications for the job.
13. One rotten SOB will be replaced with another
Al   (05.28.08)
The problem is the political system that rewards 2nd rate morons who happen to be connected. Its a huge problem..witness the fact that an idiot such as Obama will be the next prez of the US. Western countries in general seem to attract suck ups and 2nd rate lawyers to the political arena. In Israel they happen to be washed up office generals. Heres a doozie for ya The former Israel Chief of Staff ( I cant remember his name ) seeing that his porfolio is in deep doo doo wants back into the political arena as well. Pathetic
