Olmert..Get lost already....
3. WoW! That was close!
David ,   USA, exile   (02.25.09)
Thank the Father above that you failed. You were prevented from committing the grossest sin of our time. To give away half of Yisra'el as you and Livni were trying to do is beyond all bounds. This is the very act that the nations are to be judged for and you the PM, a Jew, just almost got the job done. Is that something you are really proud of Mr. Olmert?
4. #3 No David
Chris ,   Warsaw Poland   (02.25.09)
This was not beyond all bounds. On the contrary. This is the only logical and just solution, and a solution which gives a HOPE to stop the 60-years old war. In the history this land has been shared by both people in question, and both of them have right to have countries there. Period.
5. Poor Olmert
robert barrett ,   fort smith ar usa   (02.25.09)
Its so sad to see a man that is under a criminal cloud of his own doing blaming everyone for not acheving peace with the P.A. And all his short comings. He just says he was a hair breath away from peace to delude the Israli people int continue going down that road that leads to Israel's destruction. Anything that goes against G-d's ways is destructive. All the Prophets of Israel would be so angry and disappointed with people like Olmert if they were able to come back. Someday they will and the Savoir will destroy all of Israel's enemies, the very people Olmert and others are trying to make peace with. Shalom.
6. Olmert's hair's breathe!!!
MC ,   UK   (02.25.09)
Don't believe a word of it. Olmert's hallucinating again! As Benny Begin correctly says, the Palestinians wont agree to anything. We're saved by the enemy and not our government! After all the experience we've had in the past 15 years how can any sane person still believe in carving up Israel and handing it over to the enemy is the way to go. As Shamir said 'when the Arabs want peace, let them come to us' Why are we constantly chasing them with disasterous ideas. The new govenment must concentrate on the security and safety and welfare of it's Jewish citizens.
7. they already have their state,,,,,
alan ,   toronto   (02.25.09)
and now they want another one. Why is the left so dumb ?
8. Enough, Olmert - Just Go!
Ariel ,   Europe   (02.26.09)
9. Predecessors?
velvel in decatur ,   usa   (02.26.09)
You mean "successors." And maybe you should be concentrating on not going to gaol and leave the negotiations to someone who won't sell us out.
10. O, really? tell us more
Ahmed ,   Gaza, Palestine   (02.26.09)
This is laughable, what sort of a deal is that that will sort of a mandate does olmert or abbas have?abbas only control ove rgaza so can he deliver anything? and if olmert cant even remove some few outposts that are even by israeli law ae considered illegal, then can he really remove large established settlements in the west bank? or give up east jerusalem?
11. olmert don't quit now-keep on trying the impossible
peace in our time? ,   neville chamberlain?   (02.26.09)
hard job you have on your hands----how to avoid being accused of stealing public money while pretending to be our Messiah?
12. olmert out of his mind
marcel   (02.26.09)
His committee winograd, that he handpicked said that olmert failed in leadership and made critical mistakes. That hezbollah did not attack during cast lead gaza operation had more to do with ashkenazi and barak and her fear of them.Remember, our prince olmert selected peretz, knowing that he was an ignoramus in military matters. And for peace being a hairbreath away, aside from specifics, how do you make peace when Olmert offered every concessions and the PLo made none. How is that peace. Livni, while a little stronger than Olmert, also acts lame in this area. What do you think PLo will do with a state? it will attack Israel in its 67+ lines. This is obvious. US pressure from Rice and now clinton won't change reality. Arabs cannot keep peace, it is genetic with them. Beside the arab birth rate is declining relative to the jewish growth rate.
13. what a clown he still thinks hes on stage,get lost already
Yisraeli   (02.26.09)
14. Doesn't square with no agreement on any of the core issues
Sam ,   Canada   (02.26.09)
15. OLMERT needs to give TEL AVIV away.....
andy ,   orlando   (02.26.09)
then the "piece" deal is complete.
16. #4 No Chris
Spirit of Dabrowski ,   Poznan, Poland   (02.26.09)
This was not a "logical and just solution". "On the contrary". It's appeasement of the genocidal maniacs on our borders. What if the Neo-Nazis in Germany demanded Silesia and Pomerania back? What if the Neo-Nazis in Austria wanted Galicia and Lodomeria back? After all, "the history of this land has been shared by both people in question". The Palestinians already have a country here- it's called Jordan. The territorial limits of Zionism can be found in the Polish national anthem: "That which alien force has seized / We at sabrepoint shall retrieve."
17. Hair's breath from giving Jerusalem to terrorists.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.26.09)
18. Hair breadth?
Ariel ,   Europe   (02.26.09)
Such a blatant lie! Look at this future client of Israeli Prison Administration! MArk my words: HE'S GOT NO HAIR! - Lol!:)
