we keeo giving the arabs consessions but they give us nothing but more murder. plz explain this logic.

I say this with a very heavy heart, but the Israel I have so loved has become contemptable even to me. Its not just Olmert but his lackeys, the ones still warming Knesset seats, the High Court who is a willing accomplice, the Police acting as his private army, the military so inundated with leftist appeasers, the banine public. I say to you - is there not one man left in Israel? For if there is why does he not stand?

Since it's likely he'll face prison time, he's trying to set as much precedent as possible for releasing people from prison for no reason.

Mental illness, ego, cynical political manipulation, he just wants revenge because his country repudiated him, some confused idea of a ''legacy'' - you know what? Who the hell cares what motivates this creep? The essential is to get rid of him & his associates, to remove as many of them as possible from gov't. - just remove this poison, this cancer, from any further opportunity to cause us harm.

Olmert just won't get it. We just want him to get the hell out of the Prime Minister's chair! However, there is a precedent for what he is doing. The precedent is Bibi Netanyahu who was the directly elected Prime Minister and many of you who support our dear Bibi have forgotten how we battled to get him out and to get the law of direct election of the PM changed. The fact is my friends, we are to blame. The apathy of the people of this country allow our misbegotten politicos to literally get away with murder or at least rape! Just look at what has happened in India. One security screw up and the Minister resigns and I would not be surprised if the Government of India was to fall very shortly. Here, it took months for that nincompoop Peretz to resign and Olmert is still in the driver's seat and doing his best to screw up all things financial. Of course, we must not forget to thank Shas for ensuring that we will have to suffer him until there is a new government after the election. Is it possible that our esteemed PM is in cahoots with Bibi to bring down Kadimah? If he is doing this and he returns to that mire of a party it will add another has been to the Likud list! As for him going to jail, well ...............

not against the palestinians but rather against us and the rest of the world because once he releases these known terrorists from our prisons then they can go anywhere on this planet to complete their missions just as the 10 that attacked mumbai have done. our mks that support him better rein him in because if they do not it will be the rest of us that are condemned by the world for his irresponsible behavior.

I'm confused. Here in Israel, we vote for a party. The president asks one party to form a government. The leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. Olmert WAS the leader of Kadimah when it formed a government. He is NO LONGER Kadimah's leader. WHY is he still Prime Minister? WHY is he still in a position to release terrorists and represent Israel in "piece" talks?

"Your Honour, if I was sane, do you think I'd have released hundreds and hundreds of terrorists back into the wild? Of course not! I just don't know what I've been doing for the last 3 years. I'm a mental case" !!!

he may want to leave behind the legacy of being a great peace maker but only sees what he wants to believe.he cannot see the real future.19 terrorists brought down the twin trade towers in new york murdering 3000 innocent people orphaning their children and ruining the lives of thousands of their family members and the health of the police, firemen and rescue workers that tried to help and also there is the financial loss that would run into the billions. yet our prime minister can see no problem with releasing 250 more that could create the same kind of hell on earth as new york and mumbai have suffered ?

when we end up in court and have to give an account for why we did not stop him? we were just following orders ?

...when the west's obsession with finding a dupe to do their bidding hit paydirt in Olmert! The world attention payed to Olmert caressed his inner and outer narcissistic ego to 'favor those who favored him' at any cost to his country. Bingo!! The last time Bush left Israel he proclaimed: "Take good care of Olmert." What does that tell you?

What has Abbas done for Israel you ask? Nothing. After all, President Bush and other Western leaders call Abbas a man of peace. Lie number 1 of hundreds of lies. Realize the Fatah charter which calls for the destruction of Israel has not been changed. Nor has the virulent hate for Israel emitting from all phases of Palestinian society abated. Abbas santioned a Fatah poster which shows all of Israel Palestine and no one flinches! Abbas recently met with Samir Kuntar in Beirut and shortly after that Kuntar proclaimed he would not rest until every Jew in Israel is destroyed. The West and Israel have enabled the Palestinians to the point the Palestinians hold all the trump cards and Israel darn better fall into line.

I am convinced that Olmert has an account where he gets money for every deal. Is Olmert all about money?

It's a democracy and the people of Israel cannot be held accountable for his bizarre actions.

this man is an idiot and has lost his mind from all of his latest stress. he needs to be stopped already before he gets Israel into a position it won't be able to get itself out of.

The vicious side of Olmert is out in the open as he takes out his anger on Israel for holding him accountable for his financial chicanery. He won't directly attack Israeli Jews. Instead, he will turn loose several hundred Muslim terrorists and let them do his dirty work for him.

Not that long ago, only a couple of years ago the PM told a group of christian zionists that jerusalem will never be divided, now he says it must be divided. What has happened to this man?

what has happened to this man? the opinions of my wife and self are that this man hasn't changed at all. we thought something was wrong with him before he became pm because of the stories circulating about how he had bankrupted jerusalem as her mayor for 10 years and then we said to each other when it appeared he would become pm : isn't that great-he bankrupted jerusalem and now he is going to bankrupt the whole country. what you see of him right now is the real him------he was just pretending to be normal like us until he couldn't hide it any longer ?

Empathy. He is probably seeking to be released from custody in a trade to the Palistinans someday soon. Pee Poor trade.

by what he witnessed of the tortured bodies of our brothers and sisters mutilations..they were trying to live a righteous life the best way that they knew how just as all of us that love Hashem are trying. olmert is not even trying?how does he think he will escape unscathed?
