31. @26 she passed the point a long time ago
(07.10.12)
if you do not like the manner in which she speaks to others...may I suggest that you write to the editors of Ynet. the more complaints against her rude behavior the sooner they will cast her off the TBs
32. Sarah B. I feel really sorry for you.

33. to 15 those r the exception that prove the rule
Sam Schwartz ,   Israel   (07.10.12)
34. Can anyone translate this into English?
Euno Best ,   Israel   (07.10.12)
""We didn’t except this ruling… but we can't make light of the fact that his was convicted of a very serious offence. The court criticized Olmert and found him at fault for gross conflict of interest in hid dealings with Uri Messer."
35. Vindicated? CHUTZPAH!!

36. #22 -sarah b
Yosef Y. MSc' ,   USA   (07.10.12)
It is with true disappointment that I read your posts re: Olmert. Over the months your intelligent, Right observations were a pleasure for me to read and respect, however these posts nullified my expectations. My regrets, Sarah B.
37. Corrupt Politicians & Judges!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (07.10.12)
The piece of trash did it...and, got away with it! Another, one of many, shining examples, of the world's judicial processes, at work....
38. Ignore this leftist and biased court
Rachel ,   US   (07.10.12)
39. the israeli leftist court
marcel   (07.10.12)
the court did their buddy who has cost israeli dignity,lives and treasure, they protected him from jail.The israel court is rottten to the core, rotten to the core and has damaged israel big time.They can go to hell along witholmert, livni. They now have endorsed olmert, the many lives lost in hezbollah war while he was mismanaging at the helm as winograd found, they have endorsed his conduct. The beilin livni court can go to bloody hell. Watch them now indict lieberman as any who defend israel strongly get indicted for small stuff but the olmerts who beg for 2 state and offer the moon, they get acquitted in matters that a child would convict. Drop dead you morons and weakllngs.
40. an arab judge thanks olmert
marv   (07.10.12)
because olmert offered an arab judge unbeleivable concessions to a palestine nation, the judge pays olemrt back by absolving him of most of the charges. Israel's legal system is now finished and is arabist and beilinist. I call on judeans and samarians to announce the independent state of judea and to hell with israel
41. Injustice rules OK: Tzedek tzedek AVOID
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (07.10.12)
The Judges need to hang their heads in shame; Olmert bought Zaken and offered her as the fall guy. Why sould the corrupt judges accept? Amnon Dankner should have his head examined saying AG needs to commit suicide. This is sick speak of a sick delirious man, and to think he was an editor at Maariv
42. doublebilling and palestine
alexi   (07.10.12)
charging 2 organisations for the same trip repeatedly came out of thin air, you bunch of olmert shmucks?? tje 3 judges have now endorsed olmert's conduct indirectly as PM and by the way, taking cash filled envelopes is Ok and doublebilling is Ok because zaken made it up, not Olmert. So israel will now concede most of its land, and become the jewish province of palestine under president barghouti. Jews will eventually have limited rights. Why jews have had so much misfortune in life is because they are led by the 3 judges who essentially cleared olmert. Palestine is now officially endorsed and the 3 judges have now driven the first nail in israel's coffin.
43. Guys, that is not Sarah B. She has a few stalkers
Hippocrates ,   earth   (07.10.12)
who pretend to be her because they are intellectually starved people. when you see a tb nmed sarah B she is very strong for Israels defense, and would go after a putz like olmert time and time again.
44. All we know is whast we read in the newspapers
exUK ,   Tel Aviv   (07.10.12)
In the UK , once a person has been charged,it is not allowed to write about,accuse,surmise or try that person in the newspapers,It is sub judice.So how can Israeli newspapers be allowed to write what they wrote about Olmert,in minute detail,along with his assistant young lady,as if it IS all signed sealed and delivered? As a fait accompli? Surely if what they wrote is fact,Olmert should be guilty.If it is fiction or surmise,why doesn't Olmert sue the press? I find this extremely difficult to understand,but since everyone knows everyone else in this small country,it may be difficult to obtain unbiased judgement or information. For instance,the court passes a judgement regarding Ulpana settlement.Then the PM or knesset interested parties publicly are reported as asking" How can we make the illegal into legal? Very confusing...and absurd to any outside observer.If we dont like the rules we simply change them? Can anyone explain?
45. This jury was worse then the OJ and Casey Anothony Jury
Steve Rosen   (07.10.12)
Olmert's defense was I tried to give away Jerusalem, the Golan and flood Israel with Arabs and ofcourse the leftists jury freed him. Plus dont forget, Olmert's wife and daughters are members of radical peace now movements. Olmert in 06 said, he was tired of Israel winning wars. Well Israel got a loser in Olmert who loses wars and wants to give away Israel to Holocaust Denier Abbas.
46. I,m all for Sarah B> !!!
Whywhy ,   Tahiti   (07.10.12)
She represents the virtues of the Founding Fathers of Zionism: Complete sanity, total normality, absolute lack of hypocrisy, tolerance for other opinions,strong mental health, fervent love for justice andf for Truth above all. And love for peace, of course.
47. Innocent ruling despite the judge being religious
Haim ,   TA   (07.10.12)
48. Sarah B.
Yisraeli   (07.10.12)
None of her posts sound like her at all, more like someone trying to get rid of her. Could even be a muslim and post with her nic. Look at the post calling to write in to get her banned, probably written by the same hand as other posts. Means nothing, dont be quick to jump on the bandwagon, all you could be doing is to become ' a useful idiot' and being used by other agendas. Sarah B. has been a respected poster here imho. and perhaps to direct with the truth upsetting the arab propoganda machine often at work here.
49. How long before he re-emerges on the political stage?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.10.12)
50. #22 successful attorney at law?
Mari   (07.10.12)
succesful attorneys also don't call other people names and spout insults at anybody who happens to disagree-
51. #17 Successful ATTORNY??
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (07.10.12)
Successful attorneys know how to spell attorney! This can't be the Real Sarah B.
52. judical activists
Dovid from Modiin   (07.10.12)
The judical activists let Olmert go in hopes that he would win the next election and sign a phony peace deal with the PA.
53. It is absolutely disgusting
Moragh   (07.10.12)
that that man Olmert walks off "scot-free". You or I would be strung up if we had comitte the crimes he has done. One would have to be blind not to be able to "read" his face. He stands out miles with guilt. If that's the authorities in Israel, you can shove it!
54. It must be nice to live in Israel......
Elizabeth   (07.10.12)
commit a crime and walk off scot-free! I think Israel will soon be bombarded with the public when they know how easy it is to commit a crime in Israel, and the Law doesn't even say "boo".
55. #11 Sarah B, USA
macktheknife   (07.10.12)
I'm shocked to find that Sarah B agrees with the likes of Olmert. I always thought she was a woman with an outstanding character. Just goes to show... don't it?
56. A Jury system would be better, but not perfect.
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.10.12)
I always say "innocent until proven guilty," but can judges be trusted to prove anything? Certainly, statistically speaking in view of the many wrong judgments that have been revealed, society can not trust judges, not for a traffic ticket and not for this verdict on Olmert. A jury system, in which peers return the verdict, is better, but juries have been wrong many times also. The fact of the matter is, there are no such things as "truth" and "justice" in a legal system. Attorneys are the greatest usurpers to their own advantage of the legal system. They eventually become judges, or politicians, and continue usurping the system. Nothing can be done about it, unfortunately, except for staying clean and avoiding them.
57. tinofet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(07.10.12)
58. OJ was let off too but everybody knows he was a murderer....
Make me wanna ,   RALPH   (07.10.12)
He will do his time in the next world.
59. If Mr. Omelet had anything to do with those ugly buildings
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (07.10.12)
If Mr. Omelet had anything to do with those hideous buildings in Jerusalem, he has laid a few eggs. The guy's got no class, obviously.
60. Mr Olmert you are no Begin!
Jack ,   London   (07.10.12)
