Where were you when your father was destroying Gush Katif and handing our enemies their largest victory to date?

and belongs in a mental institute, comfortably tied to a bed and drip-drugged to keep him shtum

Gilad was not in any position to do anything about gaza

Gilad is right again ! This country is NOt Democratic and I don't know who believes that except the politicians. If it was Olmert would have gone long agao to jail most probably along with the self serving lot in the Govt

If anyone other than Sharon's son had written these words I would say BRAVO. However, one has to wonder where he was when his father was in power. To be sure, Sharon was going to do what Sharon wanted, consequences be damned. Neverthelss, the floodgates of our current hell were opened by the expulsion from Gaza. Even if one were to close their eyes and hearts to the devastating pain this inflicted on tens of thousands of Jews, and were inclined to forgive the national trauma, it is important to remember that Hamastan would not pose nearly as lethal a threat as it does now, if NOT for his father. Sharon allowed through his malfesance a second (the first being Hizbullah due to Barak) Iranian front to encircle us. The sins of the father should not be visited on the sons, yet.........

Even if the Arabs will get an additional state,a "Palestinian state", the Land of Israel will still remain the Land of the Jews that was robbed by the Arabs. The entirety of Jerusalem as the entirety of the Land of Israel belongs exclusively to the entirety of the Jewish people. It belongs to our generation as well as to the future generations to come, and no one has the right and/or the legitimity to cede even one single square cm. of the city or the land. Agreements as a result of blackmail and pressure are not valid and will not change historical truth and International Legitimacy (The San Remo agreements). Mistakes done by Israeli government(s) in Anapolis or before should not be respected and should be put right immediately. Arabs have no case as to the Land of Israel, we should return to the original legitimity as described at : http://xrl.us/bjch4

everyday he is PM he is a threat to Israel, its a shame

The silent majority had better wake up and speak out against this sickness called Olmert. Flood all the talkbacks, for starters.

or treason?

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. You get there faster when you can't read a Road Map others hand you. The political criticism is all true, but IMO, it is helpful to understand the inner origin of the threats & destructiveness Olmerde represents to Israel as a country, society, and political system. Even allowing for Israel's political "uniqueness", the main sickness is within the PM himself, & I don't write "sickness" lightly. Anyone with basic psychological knowledge can see a mixture of dysfunctional characteristics, personal weaknesses, even psychotic behaviours. Beyond Olmerde's recent corruption & failures, there is the economic, political, planning chaos & environmental ugliness he left behind as Jm Mayor. 1) Gambling addicts live in a fantasy world of wins & unparalleled conquests (ME peace, Nobel Prizes), childish "magic thinking", (Arabs will change their character), inability to recognise reality (a Pal "saviour" will appear), set limits (If I just bet a little bit more), or when to stop (keep playing, regardless of consequences). 2. Low self esteem (living up to Israel's Founding Generation & predecessors) drives him to hold on at all costs-he is continually "doubling down" (Doubling his bets in attempt to recoup losses. Post Lebanon, bet West Bank; post Winograd, bet Annapolis; post Talansky, bet Golan, post Primaries, bet prisoner release gestures... 3. Olmerde's character, top down: * We know of Israeli's ferocious inability 'to be a freyar' (sucker), be outwitted, 'lose', or accept personal responsibility; * Lawyers are 'Deconstructionists', building nothing, analysing after the fact, seek to blame, maximise others guilt & responsibility, or at least evade, deny, delay, confuse the issue, misuse process, legalities, & technicalities - ultimately using other's money, time, & responsibility for their own "macher" success; * Journalist (EO's IDF service) observe from the outside, analyse, criticise, change position, suck up to power, & take no responsibility for results; * Professional Politician-Generally, meglomanical power hunger, dishonest deal maker, manipulative, backstabbing, irresponsible, unaccountable, self indulgent, self aggrandisiser, using OPMB (Other People's Money & Blood) for their own "visionary" position, while declaring "I know what is good for you"; * Henpecked Husband: There is NO WAY his children develop this way, without an overpowering influence of a Far Left mother; No wonder he clings to power-it is the only place where he retains control & self esteem! Remember where it started: Olmerde, an unelectable 30th on the Likud list, before becoming (sorry Gilad), Sharon's flunky, floating trial balloons, being a proxy "leaker", & hatchet man. The downward spiral for Israel: Kadima, created by 3rd tier dregs of Likud; MK's following strongman Sharon to further careers, ignoring Likud's overwhelmingly decided policy; Sharon, voted in by a huge majority, specifically to counter Labor/Mitzna's disengagement plan; Implementing an overwhelmingly rejected Disengagement plan, politicising the IDF; A stroke, suddenly elevating the followers, incompetents, & "Yes men" to real power; A High Court decision allowing standing in as "Temporary leader"; History has been changed by less. Olmerde's every act shows sick, psychotic, power hungry, irresponsible behaviour. Look in his eyes. Look at the "Jabba the Hutt" (Star Wars) avaricious mouth. An Israeli Coup d' Etat by electoral system weaknesses, legalities, & political opportunism. Not to compare the people AT ALL, but how did the Nazis come to power? A weak nation, a weak electoral system, weak opponents, & political opportunism. Now, the asylum is being ruled by the inmates, & neighbours (citizens) politely chat about the weather! "All that is required for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing". Need I say more?

Too bad he is not around to shep nachas from his brilliant plan. Take yourself along with Lapid and all your lefty friends move to NYC and get lost. You have done tremendous damage ,in deed possibly fatal damage to the Jews of Israel.

A large number of Israelis voted for this man, despite his open policy to withdraw unilaterally. Israelis have the free choice to lie to themselves, be in denial, or commit mass suicide.

it is abou mazen when he got nothing he said all or nothing . and it is all of these jornalists like jelad . they got nothing to say all

We all now know about olmert and his fears and failures. I would like to know why your father appointed such a coward and moron as deputy prime minister? Please answer this as ehud fooled your father, he fooled shamir, he fooled my sister and made israelis hostage to his appeasement.

and the prosecutor's office and the news media, what better way to get even than by giving the Palestinians part of Jerusalem in a covenant with death Daniel in the Bible spoke of that leads to Armageddon? Then when the PM gets toasted by Mazuz, he can laugh because all the world will get toasted, too.

or didn't you notice? An equal percentage of Americans lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina which happened when the Gaza pullout was completed. It was America that pressured Ariel Sharon to pull out of Gaza. He had to weigh certain things you are not concerned about. How was Israel going to make it in the world without the one ally on the UN Security Council that protects Israel? How many more people than the 10,000 in Gaza would be affected by the loss of nine billion dollars in aid from the USA? You blame the man who was put between a rock and a hard place. God loves Ariel Sharon or he would not still be alive. You better hope he stays alive a long time because the ELS Bible codes at www.biblecodedigest.com say "HASHEM LOVES A(riel) SHARON." His being alive is a protection for Israel and may be why the rockets from Lebanon did not hit Tel Aviv when they could have.

We can't just sit around watching Olmert and his lackey, Ramon, sell out the country from under us. The "good" terrorists of Abu Mazen's Fatah are showing a children's TV quiz show based on the Palestinian occupation of an ethnically cleansed Israel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI2ivZA2-Z4 ). Olmert and his crowd, goaded by foreigners from the US State Dept and the EU, are determined to destroy Israel. It can't be that they are blind to this. So we, the people, must do something. But what? Can we get a court order to halt Olmert's actions? The court system has been heavily politicized and does not work to support and protect the nation's citizens. Can we stage massive protests and strikes across the country? Who will organize this? The Opposition is a shrinking violet, a timid shadow of its former self. Maybe Gilad Sharon, who speaks truth to power, can follow up his essay with answers about how we, the people, can stop this morally bankrupt PM and his government from despoiling our hard-won homeland.

do the right things that you can did foryourselfe and the others but public action never act if the personal is wrong .. believe me this is the only thing that you can conducte and the life will be better than you see it .most of people looking to the public action to righten the course while they do not attempt on the oneselfe

the only thing he is interested in is his pocket and the bank account. we saw it while he was mayor of Jerusalem and now as Prime Minister. He will do anything that will give him an income, he cares NOTHING for the country and the city. VERY SAD but TOO TOO TRUE.

Onne man who cannot lead israel is ehud barak. His latest is to warn anyone enemies that is israel is the strongest state in the region and no one should test us. Sharon didn't say much ie. we'll know how to respond. Baraks talks tough, threatens, offers concessions since oslo, and was a lousy PM. He's not much better than olmert who is the greatest enemy to israel since world war ll.

You read the news coming out of Israel with utter despondency,nobody seems to care what is happening around them,Olmert and his family will leave the country, what is left of it ,.when this is all over .He would have to be the most reviled person in Israel,But he just keeps on fiddling whilst Israel is being torn apart.
