1. How about some reverse psychology
Hmm. ,   Chicago   (12.02.13)
Hmm. What if Israel changed course and actually supported the current diplomatic effort in Iran? Maybe that would lead the Iranians . . . to oppose it. Eh? If the front door seems locked, always try the back.
2. America, please make me PM the way you made Barak and ...
JJJ   (12.02.13)
Olmert is begging the Americans, please make me PM the way you made Barak and I will make Israel to be the best Republic Banana you ever seen
3. The former PM s policy is not in Israel best interest
bud ,   USA   (12.02.13)
To place trust in a agreement with Iran ,which has proved it can't be trusted and has a firm goal of Israels Destruction ..is a FOOLS Errand .....
4. Olmert's leftist scare tactics
(12.02.13)
Olmert wants Is Olmert created and existential problem in lebanon by not finishing the Job. the problem is not going against the US, ben gurion did that in weaker times, it is acting independently . Olmerts wants Israel to depend on hussein obama. rdidiculous, thats why olmert was a failure as PM
5. Netanyahu need straw enemy, Iran, to justify greater Israel.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.02.13)
6. Olmert
Dave ,   U.S.   (12.02.13)
Seriously, Olmert needs to shut up and stop this awful practice of criticizing the man who succeeded him. Do you see George Bush out there bashing Obama every day? No, Bush has said he doesn't think it's a good idea to publicly criticize your successor. He's right. That's been the tradition in the U.S. for generations. It doesn't help Israel one bit to have a former P.M. so vocal in his denunciation of the current P.M. Olmert is just hurting Israel. A true champion of Israel would never set out to weaken the international standing of the current leader of our country. I'm just so disgusted by Olmert, and I voted for him. Why won't he just shut up. Who cares what he thinks. Just go away.
7. Olmert is a fool that belongs in jail
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.02.13)
There are several reasons why Olmert is not the PM and this is just one of many
8. Olmert and peace, Bibi is right
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (12.02.13)
Bibi is right. You can not trust deals with Shia and a lot of Sunni countries. Be firm and strong against it. Don't listen too much to the USA, GB, EU, Russian,... Olmert mermaid songs about peace between Israel and the anti Zionist, anti Jewish, anti Semitic, and anti Israel state of Iran,... Stay strong, don't bow for them (the anti...). Remember the (our) past!
9. Obama supports the Shia terror regime
CJK   (12.02.13)
obama's secret negotiations with the shia terror regime will allow that terror regime to keep its nuclear weapons program. the shia terror regime will be allowed to keep enriching uranium, will be allow to continue weaponisation, will allowed to build parts of the arak heavy water reactor off site, all in violation of numerous Chapter VII UNSCR's, which have the force of law. obama has already released a number of high value iranian spies and illegal nuclear component dealers. obama is negotiating with the US listed terror organization hezbollah, an Iranian terror proxy which has murdered many americans and other westerners and which has been waging terror wars against israel for decades. the fact that obama is willing to negotiate with the terror group hezbollah is indicative of the fact that his perfidy has no bounds.
10. Olmert has no shame
Rosielu   (12.02.13)
Olmert has no moral compass. He has no compassion about anything. He is only concerned about his big money which he aquired via crooked paths and his very valuable antique fountin pen collection. Disgusting person!!!!!!
11. between Netanyahu, Olmert
jacques ,   nsw   (12.02.13)
I wonder how Olmert was elected as prime minister in the first place? I never forgot the messy war in Lebanon under his regime in 2006, I would hide If I was him
12. Olmert is a criminal! Why isnt he in jail?
ww   (12.02.13)
13. That's because of lying, cheating,deceiving Muslim in the WH
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.02.13)
14. unlike some of the others
frank ,   rehovot   (12.02.13)
you should be in jail for your crimes. Yeah, yeah, the court found you not guilty, but that is only the court being guilty of collusion. You have always been a failed, corrupt politian who has no backing, other than the corrupt courts and should remain in the background, or should I say shadows like all the other rats and roaches.....
15. Luckily Olmert failed, to sell out J & S !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.02.13)
Maybe he is still angry about...
16. Haunted? Netanyahu?
gp ,   Tel Aviv   (12.02.13)
ain't nobody that can haunt a man with an 80000 a month water bill. He's on a mission to "save the Jewish people". He met his match, however, in Obama, a man as deluded, dogged, and stubborn as he is. A match that is costing both nations dear.
17. I do not like Olmert YET he has a point
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (12.02.13)
Olmert attacked the Syrian nuclear facility and kept quiet about it. Bibi talks and talks but does nothing about Iran.
18. the proof is in the pudding
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (12.02.13)
Under Olmert there was no peace just terror attacks; under Bibi there is no peace but much less terror attacks. We have come to realize that the Palestinians do not want peace; they want us out - period. We have come to recognize their methods of falsification to advance their goals. The world is conned by them but we know the truth: they do not want peace. All critics should read the Koran. It lays bare their methodology. I read it; now it is your turn!
19. Isreal
Hal ,   Amesterdam   (12.02.13)
Why you with 350 nuke bombs have fear from Iran?
20. #17 OLMERT WAS MUCH BETTER
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (12.02.13)
Mr .Olmert was a doer ,Netanyahu is full of empty talk...blah blah blah .
21. #17, #20
(12.02.13)
During the Olmert regime, the US had the most pro-Israel President since Reagan who was allied with Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Netanyahu has to work under the most Jew-hating President in history, who happens to be allied with the Ayatollahs (look what Obama did to the Green Revolution). Worse, there are reports that Netanyahu planned an attack when it was still possible but two corrupt IDF Generals refused orders and sabotaged the attack
22. Who cares what Olmert says?
tiki ,   belgium   (12.02.13)
The man is a has been, no power, no clout, a nothing, a nobody, an ex from the past.
23. You have forgotten Munich Mr Olmert
Roland Seener ,   London England   (12.02.13)
24. Contagion
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (12.02.13)
It seems the Shi'ite worship has spilt over into Israel as well. No Mr Olmert, you above all else, should not commit terrorism against your own people. What will you call for next, handing over Jerusalem?
25. Olmert - pitiful man.
leo ,   usa   (12.02.13)
26. Greater Israel is still the 2nd smallest country in region.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.02.13)
27. Khameini needs straw enemy, Israel,to justify Greater Persia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.02.13)
