31. Why? - no one seems to ask
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (11.10.08)
32. Have you ever wondered?
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (11.10.08)
B"H Have you ever wondered why secularist politicians put kippas on their heads in "solemn" occasions? To cover up their distance from and hostility to Judaism?
33. Is it Halloween?
Ben ,   Gush Etzion   (11.10.08)
Why is olmert wearing a Kippah? Is that a Halloween costume? Wearing A Kippah means that we recognize that there is a G-d above us. Olmert does NOT believe in G-d or the Torah, he only believes in cash filled envelopes. I think Olmert needs to be occupied so that he can stop shooting off his mouth.If he likes talking so much maybe he needs a few more Police interrogations, that is where he needs to talk!
34. Why can't we just "concede" Olmert himself?
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (11.10.08)
35. The Olmert era is over.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (11.10.08)
What Olmert did is something that is simply not done. It was a Rosh Hashana present to all of our enemies and a slap in the face to our friends. He made it look like everything was all our fault and that if we would only give everything up, we would have peace. He even suggested that he could achieve peace if only he wasn't being forced out of office by inconsequential allegations of corruption... We can see now how dangerous a prime minister Olmert really was. As to legitimacy and rights at : http://xrl.us/osyi8
36. #17, you are right.
Cameron ,   USA   (11.10.08)
Man, and here I thought Obama was a spooky, foolish politician. I hear this kind of weakling babble, and wonder if the US & Israel are having a race to see who can bottom-out first?
37. Olmert calls for concessions in Jerusalem
Yonatan ,   Jeru-shalem   (11.10.08)
Rabin's famous words never never never. never what? never mind what the people think never mind what the people feel never mind what the people say maybe thats the meaning of Rabin's three nevers. whatever, one can forgive Rabin for his stupidity. as for olmert he's just a gutless traitor.
38. Olmert has never asked for them to change the PA Charter!
JAyjay ,   Israel   (11.10.08)
Neither has Peres. This says it all for their real intentions. Olmert and Peres are traitors to the state!
39. Olmert
Roxy ,   Israel   (11.10.08)
What go back to the 67 borders for the illusion of peace with the palestinains, they would just put rocket launchers in East Jerusalem and fire kassams on us until all of Israel is handed over to them!
40. When have Arab countries ceded land to Israel...
Just Curious ,   Israel   (11.10.08)
in memory of a dead leader or for any other reason, for that matter. We don't have an Abdul Aziz Kibbutz, or an Al-Saud Highway, or a Sadat Memorial Sinai. Anyone out there know of any land an Arab country has ceded to Israel, at least not without a fight and alot of dead Jews in the process?
41. No such thing as cynical use of the day
Ilan ,   Ariel   (11.10.08)
The whole Halloween celebration is one cynical exercise. The radical left has no desire for a memorial, then need a pagan pageant.
42. Two State Solution? No, Two State Mistake.
Dimona Joe   (11.10.08)
There is no Two State Solution- only a Two State Mistake. Israel surrounded by a Palestinian Terrorist State like we got when we gave up Gaza and Southern Lebanon.
43. Obama ceding Washington to Bin Laden.
American ,   Washington   (11.10.08)
Of course Israel must cede Jerusalem. One of the first things on Obama's agenda is to cede Washington, D.C. to Bin Laden in a land for peace deal. He is also going to let Bin Laden install rockets in Washington to fire at the rest of America. Next, he is going to cede New York City to Ahmedinijab in another land for peace deal.
44. Nov. 1917 Still no rights for the Palestinians
jack ,   Brooklyn N.Y.   (11.10.08)
Did the palestinians agree to partition or rejected it? By rejecting it they revoked their right to a state. The palestinians hijacked the world opinion through terror, with the aim of eliminating the legitimate State of Israel. Should this rewarded?
45. When are we going to stop hearing from Olmert
jack ,   Brooklyn N.Y.   (11.10.08)
Well said. Just add an accused felon should dictate the what the state should do based on moral basis.
46. olmert distorts rabin
alexi   (11.10.08)
Rabin, took a chance,was cautious and negotiated on the basis of something for something. Olmert, the crook and criminal in bed with mazzuz who will not indict, abuses he memorial that suggested rabin would offer what peres or olmert offers. No he would not. he might have shipped arafat back to tunisia had he been around. Olmert, the caretaker,trying to pleasehis wife Aliza, keeps on inciting israelis who do not want him and his rotten concessions. Please protest Olmert's family as follows"- Shaul Olmert- Sundaysky company, New York. He was formerly at Nickolodean in new York. Ariel Olmert, in the arts programme, the Ssorbonne, Paris, France. Olmerts themselves live in Jeruslame so you can protest them there.
47. On the Contrary Olmert we should take back
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (11.10.08)
everything they took from us in 1948, Plus what the Balfour Declaration said was ours (i.e: Jordan) Kick all the Pals out, and get on with our own lives and bugger everyone else.
48. To heck with concessions
Rivkah ,   Israel   (11.10.08)
All we have done is concession after concession and where has it gotten us. More dead, injured, land given away for what, so the ARABS can have even closer targets. Forget that idea. Rivkah Rybak www.yeshabulletin.com
49. Olmert you are a criminal
Daniel ,   Amsterdam   (11.10.08)
You do not have the right to speak anymore.Your people is not with you and you are a corrupted politician too, so what you are talking about. Israel is not your private business shame on you
50. olmert give up land
meyer shwartz ,   ashdod israel   (11.10.08)
it reminds of rumkowskis infamous speach in the lodz gehetto, give me your children,so we could save the rest of us,as history tells us that didnt help so mr olmert dont let history repeat it self.meyer shwartz ashdod.
51. Is there any yigal aamir born to gun down this guy?
(11.10.08)
52. Olmert dares to wear a kippa?
Yossi ,   Jerusalem   (11.10.08)
He should be wearing a kefiyah. He insults all Jews, living and dead, by wearing a kippa and talking of giving up Jerusalem. His gall and audacity are breathtaking. No shame whatsoever.
53. It's time Jews make a decision
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (11.10.08)
Between an aparthide greater israel with a jewish minority or a democratic jewish state coexisting with its nieghbors
54. Give back Jerusalem?
Jude ,   Israel   (11.10.08)
Is Olmert totally mad?
55. no longer on the Table
Obama supporter ,   USA   (11.10.08)
the 2 states solution ..sorry it is too late . it will be one state from river to sea with jewish minority . right of return for all take down that stupid wall jerusalem is an international town ..belongs to everyone .. cancel the PA and give them an party status in the kenesset .... don't laugh,we are heading that way very fast .
56. #53 Rami: like apartheid Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, etc.
Yossi ,   Jerusalem   (11.10.08)
Racist Arabs apparently think apartheid is just OK as they practice apartheid in so many of their countries. Jews are not allowed to live, own property, have citizenship, or any other rights in most Arab countries. Apartheid is not apartheid when practiced by Arabs?
57. We Must have a Yearly Memorial for Altalena PATRIOTS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.10.08)
We Must Have an Annual Memorial for PATRIOTS of the Altalena! Name: Linda Rivera City: New York State: Wonderful heroes for Israel and the entire Free World will NEVER be forgotten! These courageous men who survived Hitler`s Holocaust hell and came to fight for and protect Jewish innocents in Israel were ruthlessly murdered by the Left. Rest in peace, dear brothers.
58. #5 Richard - Palestinians have forfeited any rights they may
meir elazar   (11.10.08)
#5 Richard - Palestinians have forfeited any rights they may have had. First of all in 1920, 1929, and 1936 they massacred Jews in Hebron, Tzfat, etc. with knives and axes. Haj-Amin-Al-Husseini collaborated with Hitler and also aspired for the annihilation of Jews. In 1948 the Arabs did not accept partition, attacked us from all sides with superior weapons, and lost. To the victor goes the spoils. At no time in history did the PALs ever have a recognized govt in Israel. Furthermore even Arafat the head of PLO and "sole legitimate representative" of the Palestinian was born in Egypt and had no roots to Palestine/Israel. Just like all the refugees of Africa that are trying to sneak into Israel to enjoy greater prosperity in our economy and country rather than the barbaric condition of rape and murder they bring where every the go. See Arab/Moslem terror across the globe. Even in Israel see the "Honor killings" which show the true face of this Arab "culture". We have seen the hijackings of the 70's, Munich massacre, 9/11, London bombings, Madrid subway attack, Bali and on and on. More recently we suffered 2 Intifadas, Qassams, suicide bombings, etc. It is time to kill terrorist on the spot with 11 bullets to the head and expel their entire families PERMANENTLY. That is the only concession we should make.
59. to Yossi # 56: Apartheid is Apartheid.. anywhere
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (11.10.08)
If racist arab countries have apartheid, it does not mean Israel needs to have it as well. Since when Saudi Arabia and Libya are the model for Israel to follow..!!!????
60. olmert calls for concessions
marv   (11.11.08)
Who is the man calling for concessiosn. Ehud olmert lost 2 wars and avoided combat duty in the idf.His son ariel ran away to france toavoid service. The other son protested idf activities in the west bank and then ran away to New York. He has one daughter who does nothing but protest idf activies. On top of it all, the police say Ehud is a crook, a birber and a liar who peddled influence. this is who is talking about conessions. he's doing this all to make peace with his wife and to enlist mazuzz by politics to avoid indictment.Olmert is the last person to give israel advice.As mayor and PM of israel, he did lousy jobs,r educed israel's deterrence and shown himself to be the biggest coward since chamberali. Shut up already.
