1. ohlmert
sas ,   israel   (08.01.08)
belongs in one and only one place JAIL.
2. Israelis are FED UP with Olmert/Livni's political policies
Miriam ,   Israel   (08.01.08)
of expelling more and more Jews from their homes in our own homeland and preventing Jews from building new homes, all in the name of "peace". And that's the ONLY REASON that Olmert is ousted from office. His fraud and bribe is to make his ousting legal. Livni, if you're foolish enough not to see this, you have no business running for Prime Minister. Read the comments on websites regarding Olmert's “resignation” and you'll see for yourself what people worldwide thinks of him - and most don't even mention his personal corruption.
3. Early elections
Ronnie ,   Hod Hasharon   (08.01.08)
Early elections means that money gets taken from education, health and development to pay for an election campaign which does not give us less corrupt leaders.
4. Damn straight we want new elections. Enough of Sharon's
failed Kadima & all ,   of its followers!!   (08.01.08)
5. Do elections really matter?
Shachar ,   NYC   (08.01.08)
When the politicians are in office they do what they want and what the real people, the super powerful, the moneyed people want them to do, what lobbyists representing business wants them to do, what the mafia and the prosecuterers want them to do, bribe and extort them to do. In the US McCain or Obama who cares? all the jobs and all investment will continue to go to China to reap the best returns, the trade deficit will not stop draining the US, the wealth of America will not stop flowing into the Arabs pockets, illegal immigrantion will not stop to undermine the wages of the poor and working class and the country will not stop working towards an oligarchy and more centralized power and control.
6. once again the silent majority pushed around by the ELITE.
D   (08.01.08)
Once again the silent majority pushed around by the ELITE. We need to cry out to Hashem for new leadership that will lead and guide us as a nation. Someone who has never stepped foot in the cesspool known as the Knesset. We need a CHANGE! Only Hashem through his loyal servant MBY/MBD can protect us from the 70,000 missiles pointed at us. It is clear that Olmert, Bush, Obama and McCain don't have means and our unwilling to protect us. We must CRY OUT TO HASHEM to protect us and help defeat our enemies. MAY this Tisha B'Av be a Yom Tov.
7. # 6 The silent majority ?
Sagi ,   Israel   (08.01.08)
If that majority would cease to be silent it would be able to bring about change quicker and more effectively than "Hashem".
8. 12% are madly in love with Olmert
Nora ,   Chicago   (08.01.08)
i saw a lot of bold guys on my visit to Israel. No other country has so many bold men. Are they trying to look like Olmert? In fact, Tel Aviv men look like Olmert.
9. No more Olmerts as PM`s or even MK`s
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (08.01.08)
What are we supposed to do ? Change the way MK`s are chosen. Each and every one of them should be directly responsible to those that chose them.
10. This country is lacking moral fiber...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (08.01.08)

11. ALL OF THEM ROTEEN
ramallah ,   ramallah   (08.01.08)
From sharon , olmer,Barak , mofaz,rabin , natanyaho, from start to finsh all are corrupted just liek the arab leaders.
12. Majority want elections
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya   (08.01.08)
Elections definitely but the one thing we don't want at the end is Drippy Livni as PM ,the Israeli Condolesa Rice, whose only difference to Olmert is that she is a woman and not corrupt. Other than that she is a Miss "give it all away, get nothing in return".
13. #7 -The silent majority!
D ,   Israel   (08.01.08)
If the silent majority united with the right leadership we can bring about change. HOWEVER never more effective than Hashem, our creator. With Hashem help Clal Yisroel should unite and defeat all of our enemies (physical and spiritual) rebuild the Holy Temple under the leadership of Moshiach.
14. Dont count on elections anytime soon
zionist forever   (08.01.08)
It wouldnt matter if 99.99% of Israelis wanted elections if this Kadima / Labour coalition dont think they can win an election they will say to the people elections will happen when we want to hold elections so shut up and let us get on with our job. This government that we have now is the most corupt, stupid and anti democracy group than has ever run Israel in 60 years all they are concerned about is their careers and egos. If we had a system where there was public acountability then there isnt a single MK in this coaltion that would have a job right now.
