1. UN resolution... another joke!
Yakoub ,   Yaffo   (01.09.09)
What 's the purpose of this resolution at this time when neither the palestinians or the IDF will respond. On the diplomatic front it seems we are loosing the war... on the media, every single country on the world hates us and huge protest against jews every where. And what we have achieved from this war is hundreds of childrens killed the rocket still firing at our homes every now and then. WE ARE LOOSING AT ALL FRONTS.
2. Naive Jews
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.09.09)
You really thought the world community cared about you and that theyy were 'fair' and would stand with you against evil ? You really thought the Road Map was about peace and not reducing Israel to a ghetto to be easily finished off by bloodthirsty neighbors like Hizbollah and Hamas ? The same Hizbollah and Hamas which the world community has come to the rescue of so that the Islamic world does not suffer another defeat at the hands of Israel. Naive Israel ,it's past time time to wake up .The world is complicit in this cconspiracy to exterminate you under the delusion of peace . Pslam 83 is your cue
3. Hooray!
רודני ריתמאן ,   South Africa   (01.09.09)
It looks like our leaders have finally grown up and are making good decisions based on what's good for us. Kol ha kavod for not giving in to the West or the Muslim thugs!
4. Bravo, Mr Olmert - you have backbone, after all
Avi ,   Geneva   (01.09.09)
I am beginning to like you a little again
5. Mr. Olmert
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO   (01.09.09)
Good , well said and done , keep up ;-)~
6. Impractical??? It's U S E L E S S!
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (01.09.09)
7. i think #2 is a fake. "marcel" is writing from Israel
Rachel ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.09)
8. #1.. DEAR YACOUB
ron ,   montreal CANADA   (01.09.09)
THE PURPOSE OF THE RESOLUTION DEPENDS ON WHO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. FOR ISRAEL, THERE IS NO PURPOSE. ON THE DIPLOMATIC SIDE...WE HAVN'T LOST AN INCH. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME. 56 MUSLIM NATIONS AND 1.3 BILLION MUSLIMS MAKE A LOT OF NOISE AT THE U.N AND THE MEDIA. ALL THE PROTESTS IN EUROPE AND CANADA OR AT LEAST THE MAJORITY ARE COMPOSED OF ARABS SO NOTHING TO GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT. WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED OR AT LEAST HOPE TO ACHIEVE IS TO TEACH THE HAMAS NOT TO SCREW WITH US. THE HEZBOLLAH WHO "WON" THE WAR LEARNED THAT LESSON QUITE WELL AND SO DID ALL THE OTHER ARAB NATIONS IN THE PAST. WE ARE NOT LOSING ON ALL FRONTS. WE ARE WINNING ON THE MOST IMPORTANT FRONT.
9. At last Olmert id doing something right!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.09.09)
Kol ha Kavod! The USA has sold us out again but we must stand firm. The people are behind the Government and we must support our soldiers! Kol Ha Kavod IDF. Take care and be safe and stop the terror on our people!
10. No one talks about Egyptian border!
Human Shield   (01.09.09)
How come a humanitarian corridor isn't setup to move the women and children to Egypt and leave the Hamas fighters to battle the IDF soldiers face to face? How come Egypt doesn't open its border to care for the civilians? Why does the UN leave the women and children in areas where Hamas shoot rockets/missiles/mortars?
11. The UN?
Jim ,   Fighting in Gaza   (01.09.09)
The UN?, whom are you to decide for us ?, keep siting i your leather chairs and do not tell us what to do or send some one to Gaza and see first hand, your just a bunch of none use VIP's whom get payed for empty words
12. The Hamas has not learn.
AlbertoGA ,   St. George UT, USA   (01.09.09)
We need to crush them totaly. They are possesed by the Devil in person. No deal with the Devil, Kill him and all the Pals that want the destruction of Israel
13. UN-a bunch of talkers
Hans ,   Germany   (01.09.09)
14. #7 rachel
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.09.09)
I always post from Florida Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or I have made some rats mad ? There is another marcel who does not leave his location. I don't know why YNET feeds the confusion but then the left suffer from a number of mental disorders such as Road Map to no peace delirium. Israel ,You got on your knees and religiously obeyed every insane command of your false god and false peacemaker President Bush while completely ignoring Hashems command not to make any agreements with your enemies.Exodus 23:27-33 .
15. Let us hope
Ram ,   London   (01.09.09)
Let's hope this time the israeli leaders will be resolute in achieving their goal.
16. A good decision...
Kev ,   London   (01.09.09)
..and some appropriate, firm words to justify it.
17. MARCEL,YOU MADE A LITTLE MISTAKE, SMALL BIG ONE.
..............DACON9   (01.09.09)
YOU LEFT OUT ABBAS FATAH. THE TRIO: HAMAS HIZBALLAN FATAH THANK YOU DACON9 jwswithviews@gmail.com
18. Finally
Tal ,   Israel   (01.09.09)
Finally Somone understand that th UN cares nothing about Israel , I wounder why didn't they try to force the hamas to stop thier fire for 8 years. Actually I know why since they know the hamas will not even bother to listen or care , on the other hand Israel was alway ready to listen. No more mister nice guy dear U.N go look yourself in the mirror consider why have you done nothing during the past 8 years that hamas shoots Rockets on israel over and over and over again with one purpose to just kill israelis for being israelis. Sorry dear U.N you had 8 years to do something and you did nothing, now sit and learn how to handle terrorists. By the way save us from your pathetic peace forces those poor soldiers worth nothing sometimes they even cooperate with the enemy.
19. Hamas trying to use UN to accomplish what its rockets can't.
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (01.09.09)
Israel destroyed by UN is just as dead as Israel destroyed by Hamas and its rockets. UN charter does not require Israel to commit suicide.
20. Shame on us...
Yunan   (01.09.09)
Our religion does not advocate killing babies.....
21. The UN does not expect Israel to comply
Doron ,   NYC   (01.09.09)
Quite the contrary! This organization which has long since been hijacked by the very people it was established to protect the world from will not condemn its own people, like the Hamas. No steps or sanctions are taken against the Palestinian instigators of war in the ME and across the world. No criticism is given for the Hamas not adhering to the UN call for a cease fire. BUT, the world knows that Hamas would not adhere and that Israel could therefore not refrain from responding. The whole purpose of the decision was to lay "legal" grounds for sanctions against Israel - and our good "friend" US fell for it. Nothing's new under the sun. The only thing "united" about the UN is its ongoing underlying commitment to finish Hitler's work and rid the world of Israel and the Jews! There is a reason we survived the Romans, Assyrians, Greeks, Nazis and every other perpetrator in History. How long will this new Satan wreak mayhem before it goes the way of all its predecessors!
22. Hamas more concerned with arms smuggling tunnels than deaths
Sam ,   Canada   (01.09.09)
Hamas could have a long-term truce and no casualties if they were to give up the arm smuggling tunnels. However, for them ,every man, woman and child is a participant in their struggle against Israel and has to be prepared to die. So, Hamas much prefers that their supporters make a lot of noise worldwide about casualties and achieve a short term truce in which they get to keep the tunnels. Is it Israel or Hamas and their supporters who are indifferent to Palestinian casualties?
23. #17 DACON9
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.09.09)
I'VE GOT FATAH RIGHT HERE NEXT TO HAMAS. http://averyheavystone.blogspot.com/
24. Bravo , mr olmert
ziad ,   lebanon   (01.09.09)
you have just sealed the fate of israel maybe you will laugh now and your arogance will blind you from truth but one day the civilized world will realize that little circle of violence that started in 1948 in palestine got bigger and bigger each day and it started to threaten the lives of other nations maybe then you wont laugh anymore and take things more seriously !! now learn how to behave or suffer future uneaseness .good luck
25. World news coverage is not looking good
Talula ,   Israel   (01.09.09)
I think our army and our government need to do some serious thinking and get some sort of damage control in place. It's not looking good for us right now. I can't understand why footage of Hamas hiding among civilians and firing rockets from schools is not splashed over every single news network!!!
26. Olmert!, impotence in war is OK, but in peace unacceptable
observer   (01.09.09)
27. Israel has the duty to defend herself.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.09)
Israel has the duty to defend herself. Israel is the legal, independent state established in 1948 and recognized by the UN. Israel possesses a legal army that defends the Israeli people. And as a result of these two facts: Israel has the right to act to defend herself in removing existential threats to its existence. The recent lull in violence cannot be used to enhance Hamas’ position by legitimating their despicable actions. Until the terror has ceased, the unrelenting persecution of those committing the attacks must go on. This execution of anti-terror policy must once again extend to Hamas’ leadership. As to human rights and Gaza : http://xrl.us/gjdae
28. To Talula #25: The footage exists but BIG Media would rather
Islam is coming!   (01.09.09)
put all the blame on Israel! The Jews haters in the world want the Muslim lunatics to destroy Israel for them but eventually Islam will destroy Europe!
29. To #25: Come on Talula, what do you want .....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.09.09)
From the Arab controlled Western Media? Surely you are aware that Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp, SkyNews, FOXNews Channel and I don't know how many newspapers, and Time Warner, owners of CNN, have Arab investors who hold huge blocks of their shares? One of these is, Prince Waleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia through Kingdom Holdings. If you remember the riots in Paris a few years ago, FOXNews Channel (also NewsCorp) had a headline Muslim Riots In Paris. Well, the Prince boasts that it took a short phone call to Murdoch to have the headline changed to Poverty Riots In Paris. Also, since when do people all over the world need an excuse to vent their anti-Semitism? I hope that this will be a wakeup call to the Diaspora and that the Jews worldwide will get the heads out of the sand and see the reality of the coming of the "Second Shoah". Just remember that Europe allowed 6,000,000 Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims who they are now terrified of! About Olmert. At last he is acting like a Prime Minister so let's give him and the Government, which has stood up to the UN and the USA, the support they need. After the war each of us can decide where we are going election wise.
30. To # 27 Robert: Yes, but we must defend ourselves .......
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.09.09)
from the enemy within! The Arab "citizens" of Israel are at a watershed. They must decide NOW where their loyalty is. You cannot bite the hand that feeds and that is what the Arab MKs, who would be locked up or even executed if they dared to say what they have said against an Arab country, are telling their people to do! Once and for all the Zionist Citizens of Israel must show that this is our country and boycott Arab businesses and professionals. Whether this boycott should be extended to businesses employing Arabs is the next stage. If the Arabs hate us so much why do we have to support them. I am not an extreme "right winger" but I agree with Lieberman of Israel Beiteinu. No Citizenship without Loyalty!
