"Olmert told Mitchell that opening the Gaza crossings was a decision tied in with any progress made in kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit's case." Asking for "any progress" is hardly fighting talk, is it? How about demanding "his immediate release"? http://blog.newkey-burden.com/

it would have been nice to hear this from olmert for the last 4 years, but better late than never -- keep it up

yeah sure, because that produced such great results for the past (nearly) 1000 days. didnt someone say a test of insanity is when a person performs the same action twice expecting different results.

What a whimp statement. Progress??? How about: "Shalit back home SAFELY or complete blockade that not even a mouse can get thru!!!"

was arrested. This hoodlum ought to be held the rest of his life, the way his peers behave.

Why did it take Olmert so long to show some "cohones"? Too late for the elction. We're all going with leaders who have always had "cohones", i.e., Netanyahu or Lieberman.

they can learn so much from each other, like common sense. Not how to kill, they're both good at that, but how to love thy neighbour, and live together in hope. The Blacks and Whites in america were so divide at one time and now look. Time for change before everything goes nuclear

complete blockaid , blow tunnels up, all of them, and let them fuckin rot . coz you know for a fact they never play by the rules. YOU CANT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS. G-d bless Israel

You're overlooking one very important fact. Regardless of whether blacks and white were divided, neither one was committed to ridding the country of the other. And while there may have been a fringe element of whites who wanted blacks to go back to Africa, that certainly wasn't the policy of even the most irredentist southern states. On the other hand, check out the Hamas charter if you want to see why "Love they neighbor" is out of the question.

their only mission is to sacrifice the pals in an abortive effort to destroy Israel. Now, Obama wont talk w/ them and Iran is hilariously out of touch w/ reality. Just bomb Iran and get it over with. May G-d keep His treasure Israel, safe.
