1. Wow, he is not brain dead yet!

2. NO PEACE AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS DONE!
stude ham   (03.06.09)
the fool olmert is acting as if giving up all of gaza was real step to peace. all that israel got in return were qassam barrages and hamas cries of occupation. olmert can shove his corrupt head down the hamas tunnels together with his fantasies of a divided jerusalem. we did not reunite jerusalem so that lunatic quacks like olmert could eventually give it away.
3. He's right
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (03.06.09)
4. and he is precisely right
Chris ,   Warsaw,Poland   (03.06.09)
East Jerusalem is a place where before the 1967 events there were nearly no Jews. Even now Arabs are the majority. Just think: if you give 200000 Arabs the citizenship, which you will have to do, the Arab minority will only form larger percentage of Israel, and the demographic race will only increase. Get rid of the problem...Give East Jerusalem to Arabs.
5. First, divide the European capitals
Steven Karmi ,   Pisa, Italy   (03.06.09)
Re-divide Berlin; carve up Vienna again into four occupied sectors (this time under Austrian 'oversight'); declare the Vatican a 'free radical zone' and allow it to be militarized by the infiltrators; allow the Sharia neighborhoods in London to secede and form a new political entity; encourage the barricades to be re-erected in Paris...this time with free movement of weapons from France's allies: Lebanon, Syria, Algeria, etc.; re-militarize Belfast and have London declare it the eternal capital of Northern Ireland...Oh--and name Ehud Olmert special UN envoy for the "projects" working from his office in Geneva.
6. Scum of the earth? I thought it was Olmert!
Yoni   (03.06.09)
The indicted PM pontificates about the capitol of the Jewish nation and actually tells us we need to turn it over to thieves and murderers. I think that we already have with the current PM and cabinet. Who needs to worry about hamass when we have Olmert and company at the helm? We have vice premier Ramon, the convicted sexual predator, Olmert ready to sell Israel to the highest bidder and princess Livni who will sign any treaty the goy come up with. As much as I hate B.B. anything is better than our current leaders.
7. #2 100% I could not say it better
Simon   (03.06.09)
You are 100% right! Barack made the mistake of his life in 2000 and thank God that Yasser was an imbecile and did not accept.
8. Olmert
Brad ,   USA   (03.06.09)
Israel has given land for peace before, as we all know. The result was always more unprovoked attacks on Israel. If Olmert gets his way, and Israel gives up part of Jerusalem, the result will be more umprovoked attacks on Israel. How much land will be enough? The honest answer will always be, MORE!
9. Divide Jerusalem for peace?
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (03.06.09)
B"H Divide Jerusalem for peace? NO! Jew, go to war and die for it if neccessary!
10. who cares what he thinks...
Jane ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.06.09)
Why is this even newsworthy? Olmert can say whatever he wants. He can say that the moon is made of cheese if he wants. There will never be a Palestinian State, the best they will have is an automous region in 70% of the West Bank attached to Jordan via Jericho (we will keep the Jordan Valley and Judean Desert). There may be some arrangement whereby Arab citizens of Israel (including Jerusalem) will become part of this autonomous region and there will never be peace until this is understood by both sides. This is incidently what Rabin wanted. Olmert's comparison of himself to Rabin is laughable. Long may Mr. Olmert rot away in jail. A despicable man and the worst leade rthe Jewish people have ever had. His name is already synonimous with sleaze, double-dealing and lying.
11. arabs want to destroy the jewish heart,olmert, how about you
(03.06.09)
12. Put third Temple into equation
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (03.06.09)
I suggest that the Arabian peace plan include the rebuilding of the temple, if Israel were to receive this guarantee I think that it would taste a lot better for the risk that they would be undertaking it's only fair, also there would be a ground swell of support in the Israeli public for a comprehensive deal if this was included. Put it out there, see if it floats
13. This robot is not switched off yet !
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (03.06.09)
14. Jerusalem
Sarah ,   New York, USA   (03.06.09)
is the eternal, undivided capital and symbol of the Jewish State. We longed for it in exile; it is the central feature of our prayer, "Next year in Jerusalem." It has been lovingly restored by the Jews after 2,000 years of neglect. It is not for sale. Besides, the Palestinians HAVE a capital. It's called Amman. Olmert should be indicted for treason.
15. Jerusalem
ramallah ,   ramallah   (03.06.09)
yes , this is the only sloution if the jews wants peace with arabs , otherwise forget it . jerusalem or nothing.
16. Olmert is truly brain dead
(03.06.09)
Having unilatterally surrendered Gaza and receiving thousands of rockets launched into Israel in return this schmuck is incapable of learning and should be summarily thrown out of office. If Olmert is intent upon surrendering, he must surrender his political office today. He can then move into Gaza and live with the terrorists he loves so much. Ceratnly they will respect his rights and religion. Maybe they will give him a good view of the Ocean as they torture him to death. For too long we have coddled the Palestinian murderers. It is time to get tough and Bibi has the plan.
17. He probably wants a peace prize
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
to brighten up his prison term.
18. Olmert = Criminal! Dont pass go, go directly to jail!
the left is dead!   (03.06.09)
How much did he get to say that?
19. The world does not really push.......
Lior ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
Israel to give peaces for peace rather they give a damn if Israel ends up in pieces. Which I guarantee it will. The handwriting is on the wall!!! Stop the BS talk of how and why Europe's Jews should get the hell out from where they live so to be safe in Israel the homeland the rest of the world cares little if any about. There is no safe in Israel. It is an illusion. This country is being sacrificed so the west can appease the Muslim world to keep them from biting at their feet. Sacrifice of Jews is no big thing for history surely has taught us that! The falsehood that by giving up our land more and more and more so the Arabs will embrace us in peace --->so the grater world will be safe is just a complete unadulterated heap of lies. I have relatives all over Europe. Yes they are engulfed in antisemitism. Yes my family in the U.S are walking a fine line as Jews not being well liked. But no one is living a more perilous, more temporary existence not knowing if our children will live to have children than we right here in Israel. No where on earth are Jews seen as 'vicious evil Zionist pariahs' than right here on the beloved land I left it all to come to. In end we are screwed big time because people like Olmert gets his loving from those who despise us. Like a vantrilliquest Olmert serves for world to speak through his thin hollow lips spewing such garbage as : "Rallies for Shalit are unconstructive." He (Olmert) is damned lucky we Jews in Israel are worn to the bone. Otherwise we might have ridden that selfless, spineless idiot out and the quickest rail. But then George Bush reminded us all upon leaving Israel by saying: "Take good care of Olmert," What fools we are. Now we have Obama and company admonishing us........... Thank you YNET For posting my lengthy rant.
20. Crazy
Akiva ,   UK   (03.06.09)
Sheer madness, does he really think dividing Jerusalem will bring peace? Is he really that blind? Giving up land has always only allowed our enemies closer targets. Land for Pieces is all that exists. This from the man who called it our eternal, historical, undivided capital? Pathetic. Thankfully, he is very much against public opinion and no government would ever gain the support needed for such a brazenly foolish endeavor.
21. #2 Exactly correct.
canoe   (03.06.09)
Dividing Jerusalem will likely end the Jewish nation. It will be an error that will not be correctable. Olmert saying he reached his conclusion after becoming PM and seeing all the evidence is vain and a lie. Olmert and his leftist wife and family have been wanting to give away Jerusalem for 30 years. The man is positioning himself for the lecture circuit in the US where he will command much more money if he tows the leftist line so he'll get bookings at universities. Olmert has the moral fiber of a squid.
22. Olmert is right
Eddie ,   Brooklyn NY   (03.06.09)
Palestinians should have their own state, make their own laws and rules, and have Ahmadinejad rule them. But only in HELL!! and that Iranian ass could be their devil (leader)!
23. He promises to surrender Israel, AND protect terrorists
Arie ,   BaGolan   (03.06.09)
He has now openly supported the complete surrender and dismemberment of the State of Israel, and while doing so, promises Tzahal protection of islamonazi terrorists like marzouk. We voted the 1%ers out...why does he still speak?
24. To: Ramallah at No. 15
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.06.09)
Okay. Since you phrase it that way: we'll go with the "nothing" option. And you can get your violence-loving, terrorist-supporting selves the hell out of the Jewish State. You are not wanted, and you will not be missed.
25. Look who is talking?
Rosie   (03.06.09)
A criminal is telling Israel what to do. It will do him lots of good if he stays quiet. What a ganav...What an old fool. Israel has enough enemies. Does not need a criminal PM to give his opinion.
26. The Angel Gabriel is coming to Mount Moriah
(03.06.09)
God is sending the Angel Gabriel to tell all Jews, Christians and Muslims that Jerusalem was given by Him to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They will listen to the word of God through His glowing messanger Gabriel who will tell them that Jerusalem is the Eternal City of the Jews and can never be divided. He will tell them, and they will understand. Then they all will worship there in peace. He is coming.
27. How low can he go? Wait, there is more.
Gideon Reader   (03.06.09)
Shalit rallies are,..."unhelpfull?" What total chutzpah. The nerve of this corrupt criminal whose incompetence in peace and war allowed this entire kidnapping of an IDF soldier to escalate into a onesided battle of terrorists vs. a souless kakistocrat with little more than personal enrichment on his mind, who by the opening paragraphs of the article to which I now respond show no tie to Israel as a nation, a people, or anything more than the entity which seeks to prosecute him for base criminal misdeeds. Failed in two wars. Failed in a social contract with his own people(who would gladly trade him for just about anything with a lesser offensive odor)and with nothing but a collection of rather expensive pens; gifts from person(s) unknown, and empty envelopes once stuffed with kessef of various nations, for "help" in various projects. What a scumbag. I would cross the street to avoid being near this corruptocrat, lest some innocent picture capture me anywhere near him and people think I actually meet with him. Feh! Ptooi, ptooi, ptooi, as my Savtah would have said of this POS Polititurd.
28. Omert is right!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (03.06.09)
I love Israel, and I know that for the good of Israel's future as a Jewish state, part of Jersalem must be given back. East Jerusalem has many crowded Arab neighbourhoods and keeping them can only be a pain in the ... for Israel. Israel does not even need those neighbourhoods. I think they should be given back within the framework of a peace deal except for the small area wehere the wailing wall and other sacred places are which should become internationally supervised. Those who say that giving back Gaza only brought Kassams don't understand or don't want to understand that as long as the Palestinians don't get a state there will be Kassams and other forms of terrorism no matter what Israel gives back.
29. divide Jerusalem
MC ,   UK   (03.06.09)
Why doesn't Livni's mentor, disappear in silence!! There have been 2 articles even on Ynet against a Palestinian state!! We have forgotten that Olmert was very low on the Likud list when Sharon instigated him as his 'poodle' He hasn't grown at all since those days. We cannot give away the country it is ours, and we had better get used to the idea. We owe it to our children and grandchildren and all the soldiers who have laid down their lives for the state. Imagine, how it would be if G-d forbid we had no where to run to in these times of global antisemitism!!! We must build up the country. Forget peace there is no such thing.
30. Jarusalem(Shar-u Salem) must be undivided under common rule
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (03.06.09)
Jarusalem should be under a common rule of world religions they must be leaded by Muslim Heads -Muslims -Syrian Christians(Monotheist not believing trinity of God) -Jews (Anti-zionists) Catholics may have representetives in the counsil Protestans may or may not(I am not sure but any name grouped under "protest" should first consider their beliefs) Zionists and Freemansons should not be allowed in Jarusalem Jarusalems shall not be capital of Any country,
