Olmert: "WE are TIRED of DEFEATING our ENEMIES" "We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies." -- Ehud Olmert in a June 2005 address to the Israel Policy Forum in New York.

They can't tell you why, but trust them, they know what they're doing. And the sad thing is, it's probably true...

She is a shameless person, a rabid and sneaky anti-Israel state department meddler, such a person feels no embarrassment, but it's good Israel is now stomping her into the ground, diplomatically speaking. Her career lies in tatters.

suffering because of stupid decisions made in the past. 1) Oslo 2) Wye 3) Oslo II 4) Gaza expulsion 5) Amona 6)Uprooting of settlers 7)Talking endlessly about nothing Learn to shut up and hone the army to be the fighters and not your political bullies. Use an Army to pound the enemy not to throw Jews out of their homes. And finally learn to apologize to the Jews who you threw out of their homes. Mr Olmert do these things and you may just save your legacy, if you dont you will be relegated to the trash bin of Israeli Political History.

We can see right through this, this is purely for politics so your party may be elected. It's too late for it to have any effect on your place in history, and I'm afraid that it won't do much for Kadima at the polls. I believe that whether Kadima stays a party will depend on how the full Gaza op turns out. It looks like the Knesset will look differently by the end of 2009. Or will it?

Rest of the world do not critisize Israel beause Israel fight Hamas All World wants only your stopping killing children and fight hamas Your mentality us or they proves you are killing civilian knowingly and indiscrimanantly Just because THEY ARE

Understand,we in Israel are worn to the bone with empty words bereft of teeth. I want to believe you. Therefore I am watching you 'continue' putting action behind your words. Thus far I am pleasantly surprised. Even if this action is one hundred percent politically motivated I don't care. Just don't stop. Keep going even in the face of a world deeming you to stop.

You are at last earning your place in Israeli and Jewish history as a worthy PM. Remain strong and determined; do not weaken, please. Not only Israel is in deadly danger if you stop, but also Jews worldwide will suffer. Our enemies will think us weak and attack us at will.

If we do not understand the present Palestinian violence for what it is - not an effort to end an occupation of some territories but a continuation of the real, original jihad and a fight to the death - then attempts to force an end to the conflict will only help make inevitable the catastrophic conclusion that all but the religious fanatics are dreading. International condemnation of Israel only gives it more power. More about the spirit of Jihad at : http://xrl.us/bebdoa

was it the election, perhaps?

will run for pm, vote for him! ;-)

... among the oldest professions. There´s no way to stop them.

It is one thing to talk tough in front f an audience, it is another to follow with actions. If Israel does not back down and finishes Hamas then I will admit I was wrong with Olmert.

Dont trust this snake.....he should of gone into Gazza years ago, but has deliberately waited till just before the election to start the assault. He will drag this Gazza operation out and try to get the elections canceled for 6 months! His only interest is in getting more time to prop up the bogus Fatah and create a bogus Palastinian state for them! Fatah are as much terrorists as Hamass! Its amazing how people forget Abass, the shoah deniers past, and even more amazing how people like Avi(#9), forget Olmerts past failures!

Praise be to JEHOVA Almighty and powerful God of Israel. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. I commend you and the Israeli people for their patience that has been shown in past years of trying to live peaceably in the region. My Bible says that Israel belongs to God's chosen people Israel and their offspring,going back to the promise to Abraham. The promise was made to Abraham and God does not lie. And I believe God's word is true over man's ideals. There are hard days ahead for Israel, but my Bible says God will protect and defend His people. My only concern is that America may come against Her by disillusionment or just strictly ignorance. I would hope to God that America would embrace Genesis 12:3. God has blessed us because we have always stood on the side of Israel. I hope we do not change from that standing. I don't know whether I am Jewish or not, but one thing I do know is JEHOVAH IS MY GOD AND MY SAVIOR AND MY SOON COMING KING. I refuse as an American to condemn any action that Israel takes in defending its sovereign territory. You are in my prayers.

Like you couldn't eliminate Fatah and Arafat in the old time you will never eliminate Hammas and or you or the one after you will have to deal with them and shake their hands any maybe one of you will share Nobel price with them like what with Arafat happend ... yopu don't learn from the history .

About time his govt started acting and protecting the israeli nation. I know they were patient but hamas know no meaning of toleation and peaceful coexistence...so destroy them. BTW keep explaining to the world your right to protect your people, that the gaza borders were closed for a reason and still hamas managed to smuggle in enormous amount of weapons... Destroy hamas and don't stop till they surrender

It is their land anyway

Rice is an abject failure as the Secretary of State. Like her predecessor, she has swallowed the Arabist perspective. While I agree fundamentally with the present military action it is hard to know what the aims are. Without insisting on a wholesale restructuring of Palestinian society, I'm afraid that you'll be revisiting the situation once rockets start falling on Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem. I say treat 'em like the Germans and Japanese. Bomb them back to the stone-age and then rebuild their societies from the ground up.

Lets not forget Shalit when the conditions are drawn up. He must be one of the conditions. I fear he is no longer with us and that Hamas will say he was killed by Israeli fire...nevertheless he should be included.
