1. no Olmert, it's you that history won't forgive...
Julie ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.22.09)
for losing 2 wars, for destroying our deterence built up for 60 years, for giving our enemies everything they want without even negotiating, for destoring the education system, for letting cronyism and corruption become the norm in society, for lying and cheating, for letting in tens of thousands of illegals from Africa, for telling the world that we are "tired of winning", for the needless deaths of our best soldiers in a stupid war in the north that did nothing but legitimize Hezbullah (while your own draft-dodging sons languish abroad), for letting crime reach unheard of heights and letting the mafia grow in strength, for increasing yerida and decreasing aliyah, for the eroding of all that was once great about this country, for not doing anything about public transport (other than cutting the budget for planned rail lines), for agreeing to give up the Golan, the Jordan Valley ,East Jerusalam and even sovereign parts of your country in return for useless pieces of paper, for letting one in every three Israeli children live below the poverty line, for being without doubt the worst, most corrupt prime minister the State of Israel has ever had.
2. HYPOCRITE
OFERDESADE ,   ISRAEL   (03.22.09)
as with nixon, history may decide to one day judge olmert as an excellent prime minister in spite of his faults. meanwhile, it was his corruption, his spiking livni's wheels at every possible occasion which placed bibi in power. he should simply go home, hang his head and try to remain as quiet as possible.
3. olmert's attack on barak
Alexi   (03.22.09)
I am no fan of barak but what has olmert done? He lost the hezbollah war with 150 casualties and many maimed because this idiot was hemming and hawing and sent in only 8000 to bin jbeil and no furhtur. winograd said olmert failed. he traded 1000 prisoners for dead bodies-big deal. Hassan and kuntar's head should be on sticks. Then he lost the gaza war even when idf won by not authorizing a retaking of philadelphia and he refused to eliminiate top hamas over the years just as he refused to let idf to go more than 2 km into gaza.He offered syria all of golan for empty words and more rockets. He was the one, not sharon, who first advocated the gaza withdrawal. olmert did not serve the state in combat, his 2 sons and daughters are military embarassments, and he has the nerve to criticise barak!!! Olmert is shmutz, gutless and a moron. israel will be one state for mostly jews and arabs who behave. The rest can be citizens of Jordan while remaining in place in some arrangement. Livni's fornula as the lebanon resolution is garbage and she appears lame, retarded, like the world is going to stop smuggling. Am I missing something or is she an idiot. IDf can stop much of the smuggling by retaking philadelphi and navy patrols. Annapolis is a pile of horsecrap. And Olmert's negotiations are akin to chamberlain's surrender of chekoslovakian to the nazis. Olmert is the last one to talk about barak who has done some service to the state and never sent his son to france to avoid the draft.
4. ARRUTSÁ OLMERT.
ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (03.22.09)

Shaul ,   Sheboygan   (03.22.09)
they are worried that the corpse of Yassar Arafat will be permanently disfigused--he has oever been seen to smile so broadly before.
6. A 2-minute cold shower is a solution
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.22.09)
I like Barak's committee.
7. Let Olmert retire to Gaza
Dan ,   Titusville florida   (03.22.09)
When will Olmert realize that he gave up Gaza for nothing but was given increased terrorism in return. Olmert is a weak sister, the Jimmy Carter of Israel. If he loves the Palsestinians so much he should go live in Gaza. Thank G-D we will soon be free of him.
8. Is it Israel and or is it Holland RIGHT ???
M. S. ,   mpls america   (03.22.09)

9. ISOLATION AND LIVE,WE HAVE DONE IT BEFORE,WE CAN DO IT AGAIN
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (03.22.09)
WE ARE A NATION THAT DWELLS ALONE,AND MUCH THE BETTER FOR IT FROM A SPIRITUAL AND MORAL POINT OF VIEW.THIS HAS BEEN OUR HISTORY,AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUR HISTORY.WITHOUT THIS ,WE WOULD LOSE OUR IDENTITY AS A G"D FEARING PEOPLE, JUST BEING EQUAL TO ALL OTHER PEOPLE.LET US CONTINUE TO BE A "STIFF NECKED PEOPLE"AND A LIGHT TO THE NATIONS
10. Relax!
John ,   Europe   (03.22.09)
Bibi will have to swallow shit in this year of crisis and will continue talks. Remember - all come to PM chair in Israel with hawkish talk. But all leave that chair with dovish.
11. One state of Israel for two EQUAL people is the solution,until there is time.
Ibrahim Salpagarov ,   Kazan-RUSSIA   (03.23.09)
The world is tired of Jewish extremism and Palestinian radicalism.The future possible state must not be Jewish state neither Palestinian state.Simply state of Israel with citizens with equal rights; Jews and Arabs, and Hebrew and Arabic as a official languages. We muslims have no place in our hearts to accept extremist Jewish state as it's Israel nowdays.
12. I sit just me, or is Olmert starting to look a helluvalot
(03.23.09)
like Boris Karloff?
13. Olmert and Katsav: are they twins?
Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.23.09)
Olmert's media rants are as embarrassing as Katsav's, and just as pathetic. The only question is which one will end up in prison first.
14. Israel 1 Nation
Darla McDonell ,   Gladstone USA   (03.23.09)
God said the land is ISRAEL's...if you are one of those Atheists...you gonna crap pretty soon..Everyone has been Blasomous against God for years and try to killl them of the face of eatrh...YOU will be in Hell if you follow this policy.
15. Popspecks sweety
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.23.09)
16. Who's that Elsa?
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.23.09)
17. Olmert is irrelevant
Brod ,   USA   (03.23.09)
Olmert is wrong on this. Good leaders who put country first will join the Coalition government. Barak is putting country first. The road of Leftism leads to destruction. The road of Rightism insures Israel's national security interests, survival and existence in the face of mounting internal and external challenges.
18. The jimmy carter of Israel
Arie ,   BaGolan   (03.23.09)
Like his friend carter, olmert has brought more shame and disgrace to the office than any before him. Like carter, he kowtowed to the enemy throughout his tenure constantly demonstrating his total inability to lead and perform, leaving hom - like carter - the most disgraced leader in our history. Only one question now: will he go quietly into the night or will he, like carter, join the ranks of the enemy in constantly attacking all the State stands for and going - like carter - on the complete payroll of the islamonazi leadership in saudi and teheran?
19. Take your Muslims to Kazan, Ibrahimovich
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (03.23.09)
and to 56 other Muslim majority countries, Jews have only one and you want to rob it from them too! Why don't you make your damn 56 damn racist Muslim countries open to everyone like F. Arabia for example that expelled, killed, enslaved all non-Muslims and now doesn't allow any non-Mulsim citizen i am sick and tired of your Muslim piety when you have to do justice to other religions you are nowhere to be seen
20. sly, slippery olmert: DON'T TRUST HIM
Moshe ,   Tivon, Israel   (03.23.09)
olmert bears 1/2 of the responsiobility for the failure of Leb II against hiz : 1. sly slippery olmert , who failed to act for 30 days while Israeli civilians suffered 400 rockets / day 2. sly slippery olmert who agreed to take ineffective, ignoramus peretz as DEFENSE MINISTER this sly slippery olmert can NOT BE TRUSTED ... not about Barak, not about negotiations with the pals, ham, hiz , Syria, Iran... whatever PM olmert can NOT BE TRUSTED ! olmert go to jail where you belong ! Moshe
21. OLMERT !.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.23.09)
The defense minister's office added that it "would be better for Mr. Olmert to resign in silence and allow the political arena to function, for the country's sake." YES. AND THERE IS STILL SOME 10 MILLION JEWS IN THE WORLD THAT ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD SHALL COME HOME. AND BY THE WAY, WORLD OPINION SHOULD NOT BE THE DECISIONMAKING ON WHO IS TO RULE IN ISRAEL Orao.
22. Please send Olmert Home!!!!!!
Daniel ,   Amsterdam   (03.23.09)
Is not possible to see his face on newspapers anymore. Hi is killing Israel he is even worst than our enemies.
