Who are the moderate Palestinians? Abbas/PA?
32. Olmert is feeding hatred of Israel with his musings

33. This Time Half Correct
Zechariah   (01.17.13)
The Jews ought allow a state for moderate Palestinians within the Area of the the 1967 Borders but to maintain a secure reserve Defense spending ought increase The Moguls in Israel and rich J street Jews can give for the social gap with the rich republicans.There is evidence That Olmert can help out too.

35. Rejecting Peace
i love Israel ,   Germany   (01.17.13)
What Israel needs are Joshua's and Kaleb's and no dreamers like Mr.Olmert . Be strong and curageous Israel cause your enemies are flexing their muscels against you.
36. There will be no peace.....
The Bride ,   His Kingdom   (01.17.13)
Until the Prince of Peace; Jesus Christ, comes back at the end of Daniel's 70th Week, which should be starting very very soon:) Maranatha!
37. Try reading Revelation....
The Bride ,   His Kingdom   (01.17.13)
God saves Israel, just He ALWAYS promised He would. The 70th Week of Daniel is THE LAST horror beloved Israel will EVER experience. How to avoid it? Repent & put your faith in Jesus Christ, then you'll be raptured & won't experience God's Wrath. Bow now or bow later; Jesus is Lord & He died for His People, the Jews.

DavidR ,   USA   (01.17.13)
Your opinion seems to be in the minority. It is worthless! Sort of like the Yugo. Why do you consider any of this your business? I don't recall "Sstevie T. being a Jewish name.
39. a bitter man hoping for a political comeback
zionist forever   (01.17.13)
He hates Bibi for being PM because he thinks it should have been him as Kadima got one seat more than Likud. He also hates Livni for stabbing him in the back as he sees it when she replaced him as Kadima party leader after he was forced to step down. Now he is clear of the Holyland charges he is either going to try rebuild Kadima or form his own party before the next election which he wants to win. He has always said he wants to be PM again. If he is going to run at the next election he must make sure everybody remembering he is still there, Kadima voters especially because for some reason they still love him.. I imagine Olmert won't be able to keep his mouth shut over the next couple of years and he will act as the unofficial voice of the opposition. I do wish politicians in this country stopped trying to make comebacks. Get it in all parties where former washout leaders go away for a while and then make their big comeback. When they are out they should do like politicians in other country do and just write their memoirs.
40. #2 I agree, brother
Hamas   (01.17.13)
41. "Senselessly spending on DEFENSE?
ASTRONAUT ,   ME, USA   (01.17.13)
Mr. Olmert, Obama "shamelessly "forged" a Bill Of His Own that guarantees Him Lifetime Bodyguard Protection at the cost of Millions $$$ to American taxpayers. Netanyhu is spending shekels $$$ on Israeli Defense and you're whining? Kol HaKavod Bibi!!
42. Olmert trying to be a rock star.
Avram ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.17.13)
Mr Olmert change you tone,try different kind a music and not politics because the old tone is cacophony or cacaphony.
43. Olmert, the one who almost gave Israel away
Rogerlen ,   usa/israel   (01.17.13)
But an Ignorant and rather questionable partner for peace did neither accept nor reject his offer supposedly ONLY because Olmert was in trouble of losing his office.. he was afraid if he accepted it and Olmert lost office that the next government would not horor it.. HOW Rediculous.((but an agreement signed is an agreement honored. )) under that reasoning ANY government can just say i do not agree with that signed agreenemt to peace and with draw it. and since the Arabs have NEVER honored any agreement signed with Israel why keep trying.. Oslo was a joke on Israel and we are finally realizing our partners for peace are not .. they are against us and want us dead and gone. they want Jerusalem as their Capitol and all of Israel as their home.
44. Olmert is irrelevant!
William ,   Israel   (01.17.13)
Olmert's concern over Bibi's reaction to Obama's statement comes from his own pre-disposition to accept foreign intervention and gain diplomatic points as an effort to further his own career on the backs of average Israeli citizens. Considering the numerous times Olmert offered land and other concessions to the "Palestinians", matching - and sometimes exceeding - Barak's own offers in 2000, and having them all rejected outright by the PA with threats of "resistance" (a euphemism for terror to gain additional concessions).... are you really sure its the Israeli Govt who is "rejecting peace"?
45. #38 david
friend of israel ,   londonderry n irelan   (01.17.13)
david, what you have to understand that is just because we are not jewish or dont have a Jewish name does not mean that we do not support the state of israel and its people. you have a lot of global support for your cause and respect for you as a people, your part of an amazing young progressive nation i would be proud to be an israeli citizen, i have the utmost respect for your countrys resolve in defeating terrorists and doing whatever it takes to survive. three cheers for the IDF and God bless them and protect them
46. This Government should be uninterested in HUDNA type peace
Galut ia ,   selah   (01.17.13)
I doubt this Government is uninterested in true peace
47. Netanyahu's Government rejecting peace
Harold ,   USA   (01.17.13)
I know three leaders Napoleon, Hitler and Saddam who rejected world peace and look what happened to them. No one can reject peace when the whole world is demanding.
48. Olmert
Pilar ,   Jerusalem   (01.17.13)
Olmert, as the king of Spain said to Chavez not long ago....por que no te callas???
49. In Yiddish we say: Gei mach in afyen!
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (01.17.13)
50. And that's from a convicted felon!
oded ,   usa   (01.17.13)
olmert, THE worst pm in israel's history, a seriel liar and manipulator, has the audacity to raise his head from the sewage line he's been living in ,and critizie a bonna fide pm?amazing. bibbi may not be perfect by all acounts ,but olmert belongs in jail!!!!!!!
51. Peace that does not exist
Brod ,   USA   (01.18.13)
What peace is Olmert talking about? The 'peace' of the Arab Islamist-Jihadists is the destruction of Israel. The fact is peace does not exist in the heart, mind and soul of the Arab Islamist-Jihadists calling themselves PA and Hamas. Only fools would believe that wolves can become sheeps. Enabling the Arab Islamist-Jihadists to usurp Judea and Samaria-the Land of Israel-Israel's Liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland is NOT peace. It is facilitating the destruction of Israel.
52. OLMERT BLASTS OFF !
connie mack ,   camden   (01.18.13)
Will Tzipi Livni have any objections to sitting in a cabinet that includes a convicted felon, who did or did not serve a prison sentence? Tzipi Livni did try to recruit former Prime Minister Olmert.
53. OLMERT SPEAKS !!! FULFILLS HIS THREAT
connie mack ,   camden   (01.18.13)
At some point in recent history Mr. "not Prime Minister" Netanyahu opposed Prime Minister Sharon's "HITNATKUT" - unilateral disengagement plan. At that time Minister Ehud Olmert said on TV and radio, "Bibi! Erdof otcha, erdof otcha Bibi"!, "Bibi, I will persue you. I will persue you Bibi" pointing his forefinger at the cameras. The hitnatkut kept Sharon out of jail, and that was the point; the left inclined prosecution and super-left court demonstrated gratitude to Mr. Sharon for his gift to the Palestinians and never even indicted Mr. Sharon. So far, those two institutions did the same for Mr. Olmert. He was convicted and is still free to keep his word and be rodef - persue Mr. Netanyahu with malignant intent - as he threatened. Mr. Olmert kept his word and fulfilled his pledge. So what if there is no essence or truth to his ravings. The leftist journalists and publishers eat it up like apple pie.
