1. Can't believe the Israeli leadership
David ,   Sydney   (09.14.08)
The word 'holocaust' is used pretty loosely today I think Olmert wants the word 'Pogrom' to also be used loosely
2. Olmert
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (09.14.08)
Hi stupid clown, you are really unbelievable! You will enter history as what you are, a poor clown with no dignity who was kicked out for being a crook and is hated by 90% of Israel. Shame on you!
3. Eye under eye
Olmert go home   (09.14.08)
Haha, Olmert you have private business to manage, how do you have time to give up these declarations? Izhar kol ha kavod!

7. we've really lost the plot!
MC ,   UK   (09.14.08)
Isn't it obvious that the left wing elite running the country today has a blind hatred for a good percentage of it's citizens who they call 'settlers'? These people have lost all pride in being Jewish and even in being Israeli. Don't think Livni or any of these lot will be any better. When we can be a 'light unto the nations' there will be peace. That's a long way off!
8. Absolutely right........for once
Israel   (09.14.08)
Vigilante groups taking the law into their own hands must be treated with a very harsh response by the government. This sort of behaviour by deranged settlers must not be allowed to continue. Such a pity these Lunatics cannot learn from the past and comprehend the grief that their forefathers suffered with these terrible Pogroms. They call themselves religious Jews? I’m a Jew, but that’s not the same Judiasm as the one I am familiar with.
9. Let's see
Joseph ,   Israel   (09.14.08)
A terrorist tries to incinerate Jews in there home, but they are saved because they were away for the weekend Jewish boy attacked by the terrorist and miraculously survive with minor injuries Israeli soldiers see the terrorist but do not react because their orders clearly state they are not allowed to Olmert condemns the Jews. Where have we seen such behavior in the past?
10. Olmert seems to forget who he will be on Thursday ..
redmike ,   Tel Aviv   (09.14.08)
Has Olmert really internalized that on Thursday he will only be PM of a caretaker government? Sometimes it seems that he has not come to turns with his future, but the jump in reality from being King to being in a cell is understandably a big one to make. Mike
11. OLMERT AND HIS INVESTIGATIONS
Yakov   (09.14.08)
Maybe our "Honourable" Prime minister should spend more time focusing on the many criminal investiagations against him befre he slanders the jews who decided that they wont allow their children to be stabbed in terrorist attacks, At least someone is doing the PMs job for him.
12. Farewell olmert,worst PM ever
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (09.14.08)
13. Olmert disgusts me, yuck!
Sarah ,   Israel   (09.14.08)
14. Olmert and his Kadima croonies again
Thunder   (09.14.08)
Olmert is a prank. The revenge attack on the palesinian village was perfectly acceptable,as the assailiants probably came from there. No remorse, no kindly moves with those who wannt only our demise. If tehy want war, they must know taht they have a price to pay. If they behav elike wolves, we can also answred them the same way. Two eyes for one, and the whole face for a teeth. That should be our motto. Olmert should go, and with him all those pissenicks who don't understand taht Isrel is not locate din teh midst of europe or in the US but rather in the middle east !
15. Oldmerd you are a lier & a crook, go home!
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (09.14.08)
You & your corrupt radical leftist pro-arab policies are the cause of these problems.
16. Arab stabs a kid. Olmert stabs Israel in the back!
JAyyy ,   ISrael   (09.14.08)
Send this creep to jail! General Elections NOW!!!!!!!!

fish ,   tel-aviv   (09.14.08)
You will agree that vigilante groups appear where the state completely fails to provide protection and security to population, and what's more - they permamently vilify this part of population, inviting more attacks against them. Olmert has crossed all red lines.. it looks like he is being paid by Arabs to sell Israel... will anyone be surprised if this turns out to be true?
18. It is OK to stab a little Jewish boy. Right?
Stephanie ,   Israel   (09.14.08)
19. Why does it sound like he prepared this text before
Zion   (09.14.08)
Olmert go to your homeland... California
20. Niether Barak or Olmert Condem the satbbing of a 9 y/o?????

Israel   (09.14.08)
The state should not have to protect these people and soldiers do not have to either. If they want to live in remote settlements - then they need to take care of themselves. This does not include, however, running amok to the nearest Arab village and running riot. Olmert, for once, is absolutely right. If you think not, then just dispense with all law enforcement institutions, police, courts, the IDF the IAF and let's just run riot - let's just kill anyone we feel like. Thank god you or people like you will never have to make a choice like that.
22. #8 WHY DIDN'T YOU INLUDE YOUR..
Ierglib Drawde   (09.14.08)
TA LOCATION ? THE YITZCHAK HERSHKOVITZ SAGA DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON YOUR RADAR SCREEN OF MORALITY OR ETHICS DOES IT ? I'm sure the term vigilante was never used in the same sentence as palistinian by you, Hmmmmmmm ?

fish israel   (09.14.08)
Settlers live in the West Bank by decision of the government, i.e. legally. This government has failed to protect people of Sderot, people of the North, you shouldn't hide behind the name ISRAEL your blind hatred towards settlers. People like WILL choose I hope a true leader for this country not your beloved crook Olmert who gets absolved by the likes of you for hating settlers. Instead of ISRAEL, you should have written - Shenkin, Tel-Aviv.
24. Time for Israelis to throw away the garbage that lead this n
Mike the Man ,   Raanana, ISRAEL   (09.14.08)
Yes, this guy, our PM is full of Sh_ t! What a defeatist moron we have as PM and all of his inner Kadima and inner cabinet ministers. It's okay for Jews to be chased off of their land, but Arabs, well they can live inside Israel, west side. It seems useless watching these so called leaders giving away the land to the enemy, who are sworn enemies and stab 9 year old kids. Okay, I am pissed! So should the rest of our nation. Wake up Jews, time to hear the shofar, and kick these bums out for good.
25. Barak's farewell is better than his welfare
(09.14.08)
26. #8/21 What Judaism are you familar with?
nr ,   los angeles, USA   (09.14.08)
If the settlers don't deserve protection and they're not allowed to protect themselves, then what? You're a moron. This is not the first we're heard about that arab village causing trouble and it sounds like they need a good old fashioned whoop-ass. BTW, since you're unsure about what a pogrom is, you might want to google the word "Amona. "
27. no pogroms against non-Jews
emanon ,   USA   (09.14.08)
That's reserved for Jews only. Ask the (former) residents of Gush Katif or Hebron.
28. olmert and settlers
alexi   (09.14.08)
Do you doubt that olmert and his arab loving family are guilty of treason against the jewish state? He would have sold out the jews to the nazis in world war ll. He has zero feeling for israel. He hates and attacks it at every turn. He has raised 2 subversive sons who run from israel at every turn and shirk their obligations. His wife is a communist and arab sympathizer who should go live with the fatimas in nablus. All of the olmerts should pack their bags, leave israel and never show their rotten faces again to israel.
29. Shame on you Olmerd
Itshak Lurcat ,   Jerusalem   (09.14.08)
Shame on you, how dare you talk about "pogrom" against Arabs, when a jewish boy was assaulted by Arab pogromists... Go home or go to hell!
30. Arab stabs a child and Olmert/Barak spit on the child.
Etoile ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.14.08)
When is Israel going to stop electing these monkeys?
