33. Dividing Jerusalem
Aryeh ,   Arad,Israel   (03.06.09)
The ganef has spoken. He is like a bad dream.
34. Olmert spits on the faces of all the soldiers...
Jjjay3 ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
that fought courageously and gave up their lives to regain what is ours! This man is despicable and should be in jail for treason!
35. And after they wonder why people vote to the right !!
David ,   Paris France   (03.06.09)
This guy has a seed in his brain. Cede parts to arabs and they kill more to have more. Blindness !!!
36. #14 Sarah, New York
Moshe ,   telaviv   (03.06.09)
Sarah are you high on something? Your views are too extreme, must be smoking something funny back there in New York, U.S.of A.
37. JERUSALEM: ONE ISRAELI CITY, NO DIVISION
Israeli   (03.06.09)
Thankfully he is out of office soon. No peace? so be it. we gave up gaza, what did we get in return? A bunch of crazy dirty muslims and rockets! To hell with the US, let them worry about becoming a third world country. Look who they elected, a penny stock economy, etc. We shouldn't give in to their pressure or the arab trash . ONE ISRAELI JERUSALEM!
38. how much blood was spilt just to give it to them for free
yaron ,   zion   (03.06.09)
weve fought 6 wars with the arabs and weve lost so many of our sons, god willing the land of Zion and our sacred capital of jerusalem will be with us forever. dont drop the soap
39. Finally, a leader who dares to speak the truth..
Rami of Nazareth   (03.06.09)
The palestinian parts of Jerusalem are the poorest and most underdevelopped. Israelis never set foot in these impovresh areas that in many cases lack basic services. Given these parts back to the palestinians should not be such a big deal... it is the right thing to do and it is well worth is for the sake of peace...
40. He says this the day after another tractor attack in Jeru'm
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (03.06.09)
I'd call this bad timing on two levels. First, last month's elections could be seen as a repudiation of the "land for peace" formula that failed so badly. Second, it was just yesterday that Jews in West Jerusalem were attacked yet again by an Arab from East Jerusalem wielding construction equipment. If this is what happens when Israel retains security responsibility over the city, imagine what will happen after turning security over to the PA (soon to be taken over by Hamas). Will foreign visitors and Israelis now have to show "papers" to visit the Old City? Will the Jewish residents and institutions be safe there? Will one need to travel in armored buses to get to Hebrew U's Mount Scopus campus? Get real. If Palestinians gain control over "Arab" parts of Jerusalem, West Jerusalem will soon become unlivable for Jews.
41. to #15
Sam ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
Well you spoke half the truth about ALL OR NOTHING. Now why not spill the whole thing out? Lets just cut to the chase. The entire West Bank and Gaza are filled to the brim with posters showing ALL OF ISRAEL PALESTINE. There is not a school, office, home or building to where these posters are absent. Do us and yourself a favor and just freaking tell the truth already. You want all of Israel as Palestine and furthermore to reflect your charter you want us all thrown to the sea. All or nothing is everything. Your Abbas traveled to Beirut to meet with Samir Kuntar who latter took time out from Hezbollah training to proclaim he would not rest until every Jew is destroyed. You may have done a swell sales job to the rest of the world but you must know what you really want can not for much longer hide from the light of day.
42. 16. Olmert is truly brain dead
Eppy ,   Pago Pago USA   (03.06.09)
Yes, Olmert is brain dead.Thank G-D Bibi's coming into office because an Israel further in the hand of that Olmert nut is a dead Israel. It'll be as dead as the Holocaust victims and the Israeli citizens will then become new Holocaust victims. Israel should turn the opposite way; to hunt down and kill the terrorists instead of trying to cut deals. Olmert, you schmuck, you're not playing poker. You're playing life and death.
43. he said 3 yaears ago no peace without giving gaza
gil ,   city of david   (03.06.09)

44. ohlmert
sas ,   israel   (03.06.09)
we needed to see you take actions while in power and not empty words now. they mean nothing. but you were so occupied with your corrupt actions that you really cared little about the country. SAD.
45. DIVIDE JERUSALEM AGAINST G'D AND BRING THE WAR SOONER
........DACON9   (03.06.09)

46. Take a history lesson
Larry ,   Phila. USA   (03.06.09)
Never once has land for peace worked. It is crazy. Is the correct spelling of olmert actually Chamberlin?
47. This Fruitcake...
Pier ,   France   (03.06.09)
...is off his flippin rocker and must be silenced....Bibi is no better...Lieberman, we're counting on YOU!
48. Ehud Olmert = Neville Chamberlain = Evil/Evil Appeasers
Doron ,   Israel   (03.06.09)
49. NO!
sanna ,   sweden   (03.06.09)
Jerusalem must never be divided - it will never give any peace, just more terrorism and rockets. Jerusalem is Gods town - given to the jews to administer - no other people should have a piece - no matter how jealous the muslim might be, that they not are the choosen one. Some people act like spoiled children, must have everything for them selves, no matter how much they already have.
50. "Rallies of 20,000 people are unconstructive,"
Arie ,   BaGolan   (03.06.09)
The most noted legacy of the 1%ers is their disdain for a true democracy! To them, and other left wing anti-Jewish state extremists is that "freedom of speech and assembly" is only acceptable if we agree with them. Otherwise, we have "no right" to interfere with the 1% policy
51. Jo'el 3:2
Jo'el 3:2 ,   selah   (03.06.09)
Do not divide the land ...period
52. # 14 Sarah, you're 110% right!
Petra ,   USA   (03.06.09)
Olmert must have taken other filled envelopes to betray both Israel and the G-d of Israel. Keep the "Promised Land". It is our inheritance.
53. # 18 My sentiments, exactly.
Petra ,   uSA   (03.06.09)
He'd sell his Father is the price was right.
54. Warnings
Marilyn ,   USA   (03.06.09)
It is perhaps inevitable that Israel's leaders are going to do this and make a big mistake. With this they have been warned excessively about by Christians.
55. Jeusalem should not be up for negotiation
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.06.09)
The true demographic threat in Jerusalem is the freezing of Jewish building and the limitations placed on the natural growth of the capital by diplomatic initiatives, unless you expand the border of Jerusalem, including Arab neighborhoods – you wont have the area required to allow Jerusalem to expand. In order for Jerusalem to bloom and expand it should remain Jewish and entirely under Israeli sovereignty. Jerusalem should not be up for negotiation, it has always been the symbol of Jewish unity as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjheo
56. #14 Moshe
Eyal ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.06.09)
Moshe, you are such a typical Liberal like Barck. Because of people like you, we gave Gaza and now rockets are fired unto us. You are a radical left and must change, or you might as well kiss our country goodbye dumb ass. If you give east Jerusalem to the dumb arabs (you in the same bracket), you will have the same rocket barage. Get a life.
57. Go Natanyahu/Liberman
Eyal ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.06.09)
Olmert and his administration destroyed Israel. Natanyahu and Liberman will never let that happen.
58. Olmert have other who decide for him.
Karl ,   Gothenburg   (03.06.09)
IN (islamic nations) hmmmm o no i mean UN !!!
59. OLMERT = YOSEPHUS FLAVIOUS
Ivri ,   IL   (03.06.09)
and you know what the Kanaim did with traitors like him.
60. Wake Up Israel
zev dovid levy ,   lakewood, new jersey   (03.06.09)
The peace is peace through strength.
