1. Exactly what Hamas said
Rachel ,   US   (12.26.12)
Is Olmert following Hamas' script?
2. Exactly what he wants to strengthen his campaign
David ,   Israel   (12.26.12)
This left winger thief wants a third intifada so there is some hope he will have a chance in the elections. Take a look at his kids in a search in Wikipedia under his name to see how Pro Palestinian they are
3. Olmert incites!
michael Pielet ,   israel   (12.26.12)
Olmert is constantly inciting the arabs to engage in terror violence and war.
4. Who invited this crook??
Dr. Jack ,   Canada   (12.26.12)
I was wondering first who invited this crook, but it was clear that the forum was made up of a bunch of lawyers. I wonder no more!! He fits there, in the picture!!
5. Why doesn't Olmert, the idiot,
Reuven   (12.26.12)
shut up?
6. why is this guy talking
charles   (12.26.12)
or better yet, do we show our level of low intelligence & education when we repeat what olmer has to say. come on, give me a break!
7. Why do you keep quoting this convicted criminal?
Perplexed   (12.26.12)
8. #1
(12.26.12)
A lot of Israelis are speaking like Olmert now. But you live in the US, so you really would not know, would you Rachel. They are speaking sense Rachel-not war!
9. Those who want peace must be prepared
Miron ,   USA   (12.26.12)
to win the next war. YNet, as usually, spins words of very intelligent people. Olmert is a very cold minded and carefully spoken man. I wonder how do they fish for this sort of "news". It's a testament as to what you can get with ehough funding from a human mind.
10. Now 6M Jews, 6M Palestinians, from river to the sea
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay   (12.26.12)
...not including 3M outside Palestinian refugees from 1948-49, including their descendants.
11. BS imminent when Olmert starts to speak.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.26.12)
12. Palestine Israel coming to Jews near you
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.26.12)
13. Olmert embarrasses himself
Mr. Rod Taylor ,   Boston, MASS   (12.26.12)
How dare Olmert say it is we who are refusing peace? Did Olmert forget what HAMAS says in its charter about Jews and Israel? Has Olmert forgotten that Abbas refuses to negotiate without having all his preconditions met first? Olmert is an embarrassment for Israel.
14. FORGET IT...IT'S THE ENVELOPE MAN'S SCARE TACTICS
Adam Balm ,   ATLANTA GA USA   (12.26.12)
BY PUTTING FEAR IN EVERYONES HEARTS, he looks to making a self fulfilling prophecy...a standard trick of the olde fools playbook...scaring the hell out of any one stupid enough to listen to this corrupt has been. He's such an obsolete and now a proven lousy obvious shallow politico much like Peretz, the myopic.
15. Won't this corrupt, old fool just go away?!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (12.26.12)
16. What does he know that we don't?
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (12.26.12)
Is Olmert posturing for the upcoming elections with all of this talk about the 3rd Intifada on the horizon, or is he on to something the public is unaware of? I am sure he receives information from the security services, but why is saying this to the news? I am more concerned about what he is NOT saying to the public. What is he getting at?
17. Oyoyoy! They're REALLY loosing the plot. I pity the Lunatic
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.26.12)
Left; or should one coin a new term : Leftnatics? Not that Olmert ever was Left/Right or in between. He's just one of the new breed of selfish politicians that are swamping the Globe.
18. To paraphrase:would U buy a second hand Party from this man?
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.26.12)
19. wise men outside the knesseth
Hans ,   Drachten, Netherland   (12.26.12)
Perhaps Olmert should not go back to the active politics. In my opinion Israel has low-educated, stupid and selfish politicians. In the 60-70th politicians served the Jewish state. Now they serve themselves and harm the state. We need wise men like Olmert to give hope, to achieve good changes. There are a lot of good Israelis. So sad that all the stupid and bad ones are in the knesseth.
20. If the knesset is run by leftists there would be no Israel
Shalom   (12.26.12)
Leftists are imagining they're still in galut Europe.
21. Olmert
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (12.26.12)
I am surprised Israelis chose Mr Olmert as their PM! No wonder the current situation.
22. Olmert......
Mike ,   Edmonton, AB   (12.26.12)
Nobody asked your opinion and as a politician you are a failure. It is time to clog your hole, We had enough of your verbal diarrhea.
23. it is time...
yosef ,   usa - israel   (12.26.12)
It is high time that the thoroughly discredited and corrupt former "PM" Olmert shut his big mouth and cease offering unsolicited opinions and useless info. Both he and Shimon Peres deserve a medal for overstaying their welcome a long time ago...
24. #12 FATAH HAS BEEN SAYING THAT
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.26.12)
for about 64 years. Iran for the past 31 years. Keep talking!! It fills up this website after all. YNET thanks you a lot!
25. Olmert is laying the groundwork for a political comeback
zionist forever   (12.26.12)
Olmert has nothing to achieve for al this criticism of every government policy and unless there was something in it for him I doubt he would be making such an effort. Logical reason is he is laying the groundwork for a political comeback, he has already said he wants to be PM again. Waiting till the next election gives him time to make Holyland go away and tell the public he is a man of morals who is not afraid to criticise the government when they are wrong, is intelligent and the sort of PM we need. With the Israeli public have a very short memories and being very forgiving towards failed politicians wanting to make a comeback this tactic might even work and Olmert will be PM again one day.
26. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.26.12)
No, but the population of ersatz "Palestinians" in Jordan is going to increase quite significantly.
27. 3rd intifata is certain. world support for the Arabs.
(12.26.12)
28. To: No. 27
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.26.12)
Remember how the first two intifadas turned out? A third intifada will not end any differently. As to world support for the Arabs -- guess again. Do not confuse votes in the United Nations and lip service for meaningful support. The ersatz "Palestine" Authority still cannot pay its bills, nor its salaries. Where is your mythical "world support" when it comes to cash?
29. Foolish Olmert
Phil N ,   Wheeling,IL,US   (12.27.12)
Fools like Olmert are always preachhing for more concessions by the Israelis, something that has never worked. He was prime minister and was willing to make concessions that most Jews found abhorent, yet this was not enough for the arabs.
30. #28 Sarah
David N. ,   Haifa, ISRAEL   (01.06.13)
The 1st and 2nd Intifadas were very different from each other. Around 150 dead Israelis during the 1st, and over 1000 in the 2nd. There are a lot more weapons in enemy hands, and greater frustration. Why presume to that a 3rd Intifada will "end like the others" when the first two did not end the same? The Khamas (Hamas) was a significant difference in the end. What if a 3rd Intifada of the Arabs of Judea and Samaria radicalizes them and they toss off the weak PLO in favour of Khamas? As usual, I appreciate your support of Israel, but the two past Intifadas were hardy identical in character or result! Not from an Israeli point of view.
