1. Oy vey...All over again!When we think the bs has stoped,
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (02.05.09)
there it comes all over again. Why do we yet have to hear about Puztmert?Why?
2. Just a drop in the ocean.
Bob O'Really ,   Australia   (02.05.09)
It is the right and proper thing to do, but 100 million PER DAY is the correct amount, to pay wages, and backpay! The seige continues......no money, no food, no oil, no medical, but we live in hope eternal. United, together, Israel will never defeat us!
3. OLMERT IS AN IDIOT! WHY IS OLMERT NOT IN PRISON?
GET REAL ,   USA   (02.05.09)
4. 1%ers and business as usual
Arie ,   BaGolan   (02.05.09)
Fully obvious that the funds will go to fund hamass and even more obvious that the 1%ers are finished
5. February 10th can't come fast enough
Arie ,   BaGolan   (02.05.09)
6. olmert high treason
alexi   (02.05.09)
If ever there was someone that should be tried for high crimes its this olmert in his last days. Losing the lebanon war, allowing hamas to run in elections, not respoinding to rockets, interfering with the gaza campaign, not resigning after winograd, allowing Turkey to play a role in golan giveawa, offering to give away all for nothing in return. Now he gives money to gaa. He is pure filth, utter and pure filth.
7. MINISTERS NEED TO EXPLAIN LOGIC
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (02.05.09)
8. Egypt blocks cash & ... Any 'jew' in the street ?
avi   (02.05.09)
9. Makes sence??
Chana ,   USA/Israel   (02.05.09)
Yah! send money and arms to the ones that want you dead. Olmert can't wait till Israel is NOT a country. Only Hashem can help Israel. Israel has NO leadership only corruption
10. why have to rush with his stupidity?
joe ,   jerusalem   (02.05.09)
can't he wait a week and let the next government decide? i think he took a bribe we will be hearing about it in the next courtcase!!!!!! he is mental and forces his stupidity on all of israel he was not even elected a ganav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11. what a complete shmuck
Jon ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.05.09)
and some people will still be voting Kadima - unbelievable!
12. olmert
truckerguy01@aol.com ,   xenia usa   (02.05.09)
guss we know what election he wont be winning. but to hand these things money??olmert? the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem...your smokin' crack,right?
13. Hamas Is Right: They Won
emanon ,   USA   (02.05.09)
This decision unilaterally undoes everything that the the IDF accomplishes. Has the Israeli government learned nothing since Hams took control? What will be done with the money? Hamas will buy more arms for use against Israel!!! What do you think will happen? Unbelievable. Your enemy loses, so you pay to rearm them.
14. #7: Logic? They Don't Need No Stinkin' Logic!
emanon ,   USA   (02.05.09)
15. Olmert Transfers Money to Gaza
Oskar Prager ,   Petach Tikva   (02.05.09)
Truly Olmert is not only a fool, an idiot, etc., but also a traitor who should be tried by court for aiding and abetting an enemy. How is it possible for a single Minister without cabinet approval to transfer cash to an enemy ? If it were his own cash it would be bad enough, but he is transferring our tax money which could be used to improve the lot of people in Sderot, or even give something to the expellees of Gush Kativ who live in abject poverty. After his removal from office he should be severely punished !
16. Egypt stops Hamas cash - Olmert gives it
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (02.05.09)
So Olmert,- not Kadima, wants to do just the opposit to what Egypt is doing by sending money into Gaza. And he is doing it less than a week before elections. Is he trying to kill off Kadima? or just more Israelis
17. favors to fayad
marcel   (02.05.09)
no matter how much israel favors fatah it is almost pointless. The palestinian groupd is dysfunctional and since 48 has no nation state gene. They should be shipped to Jordan and the area cleared. Pay them. And as for Josef who comments on lieberman, what has yosef done for israel. All the haredi have to go into army. Sudying torah is not enough. Israel has no need for messiahs and christ figures, and yosef and yishai are such money grubbers,they are sickening. sIsrael has been doing peace routines since its founding, it is tired. lieberman represents one stream who is tired of acting as a poor weak jew.You want to destroy Israel, fine,w e will destroy everything around around us and that includes the crap in iran so watch out.
18. IS THIS IDEOLOGY?????
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.05.09)
Are there innocent civilians when they voted for the Hamas organization who uses them as human shields? Have we become so idiotically passive as to send aid to those who would erase our existence? Soldiers are not only uniformed beings, but those who would condemn our homeland and those that inhabit the land. Why are we here if not to fulfill our destiny as told throughout history? Do we believe in the veracity of our history are are we all in denial, which allows us to service "innocent" civilians??
19. And does anyone beleive Fatah will
meg ,   Israel   (02.05.09)
ever be able to hold on to this money? Hamas will empty their pockets of it then throw them off buildings! Come next Wednesday, goodbye Olmert. Must note that Zippi didnt agree to this. Olmert will be a very taste left in the Kadima camp.
20. NR 2 Bob O'really
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (02.05.09)
First of all bobby stay of the Bundy and coke or the fosters , because you sound like you did some major brain damage with to much boozing. Now I Lived one upon a time in Australia and was shocked at the treatment and abuse of the Aborigenees there , man you guys did some vile things to these poor people. So mate before you spew your anti-sematic rubbish try to clear that muddled head of yours ok. Besides that being down under it is easy to have such a big mouth , you are the real hero aren't you. Why don't you join your Pally brothers , that way we can kick your butt straight back to Aussy land , capice mate.
21. Use the money for our wounded and repairs
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.05.09)
damages to Israeli property! I hope the next govt tries and hangs olmert the traitor!
22. good deal.
David ,   USA, exile   (02.06.09)
half will come back to Olmert in envelopes and the other half, Assad will keep. Sorry Clinton, none for you. You will have to settle for a kiss from Obama.
23. Olmert - the "man of peace"
VK ,   Jerusalem   (02.06.09)
Isn't it obvious?? These are his last days in office and he knows that he won't have a political comeback (G-d forbid), so obviously he needs those compliments from Clinton & Co so that he can go into history as a man of peace, this is just another joke....
24. It's Palestinian Money just like the Land is
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (02.06.09)
25. Criminals all
RJ ,   Canada   (02.06.09)
The hypocrisy of it all -- two illegally occupying powers and aggressors deciding the fate of the victims, the occupied peoples. The world is upside down - an orwellian nightmare! The rogue states are in control, pretending to be so upright and moral. And the people are brainwashed ..... brain dead.......
26. praise
colin   (02.06.09)
The corrupt Olmert ispraised by the USA He cannot get anything from Israel He is not worth the praise. He has to do a job Clinton is trying backstabbing against Israel
27. cash for HAMAS
james   (02.06.09)
I would not believe this if I read it in a novel complete and utter stupidity of course Hamas wins
28. INSTEAD OF OLMERT, I'D RATHER HAVE THE SHARON WITH A BEARD
Gay Jew   (02.06.09)
VOTE FOR THE SHARON WITH A BEARD, KETZALEH * * * * * KETZALEH, THE SHARON WHO WILL NOT GIVE AN INCH OF OUR HOMELAND * * * * * VOTE ICHUD LEUMI * * * * * [Spread their slogan wherever you can]
29. olmert and cash for gaza
moohson   (02.06.09)
Olmert gives and takes when it comes to cash.He can't do it with blood either his own where he exaggerated some prior injury or his son who he sends out of the country to avoid the idf. How about using cash as leverage to get gilad out? How about taking haniyeh and zohar captive for shalit? And so on. No Olmert only looks for compliments from his masters, the US, Turkey'd islamic erdogan, PLO's abbas, Syira's assad. Why would he offer so much in return for nothing- a big fat zero. israel is not going to fade away if PLO does not have a state. Why freak out? there are other options. Perhaps there is no god if olmert can do the things he is doing to israel. If you are wondering why beitenu is doing so well, you have to look no furthur than Baraks' general gilad nad his rubbish about syria doing peace. he is out of his mind.
30. Vote!
Moishe ,   Jefferson, USA   (02.06.09)
For the sake of the Jewish nation, please vote OUT Kadima.
