1. All accomplices in the crime of hurting Jews
(12.29.15)
got their Heavenly punishment. Boy did Sharon suffer for that. I can just imagine the Heavenly punishment for the onging Shin Bet savages against innocent Jews.
2. Poor Olmert
Ismail   (12.29.15)
He was the best pilot in Israel in 1970s. Without him Israel was in big shape. How can you put the hero in lsil?
3. ok
doda   (12.29.15)
his brother and his "aide" gave and helped with this supposed bribe. then turn on him. not suspicious at all? and how compare this to a rapist of a child who barely got punished after damaging her and her family for life. where was anyone innocent hurt by this money?
4. Olmert friends on the court did their job well
Jerom   (12.29.15)
It is clear Olmert friends on the court did their job well, they made sure the evidence that would have send him for the six years are not heard. So its legitimate to call the supreme court a corrupt court
5. To Elohim, the assassination of a person's reputation is
Rivka   (12.29.15)
the same as the murder of the person. False testimony is blasphemy of the Ruach haKadosh since that is the witness in all court proceedings since there is no power or authority except from Elohim. Therefore, the only testimony that should be accepted in court should be testimony verified by a No Lie MRI lie detector test that is the most accurate lie detector test available. To condone false testimony or perjury is to be a party to it and come under the same condemnation from Elohim. False witnesses may get away with harming others on earth but there is a reconning from Elohim that is eternal and it is separation from the heavenly Jerusalem if the false testimony harmed the reputation of the victim. You can be sure I have asked Elohim to block from His kingdom anyone who slandered, libeled or perjured me who did not repent and pay settlements for the harm done in accordance with Psalm 69 and 109 which show King David asked that his enemies be blotted out of the Book of Eternal Life (heavenly Jerusalem) AND all their descendants forever. I included asking that the descendants forever be blotted out in addition to the false witnesses in perjuries against me in my lifetime. Elohim showed me He agreed with my request.
6. Israeli High Court Fails Again
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (12.29.15)
What everyone in the country saw, this group of second-class lawyers could not see? Again, we fail to see justice from these "Justices". Very disappointed.
7. Olmert
(12.29.15)
I am totally disgusted and ashamed by this Israeli justice system.. We are no different than the joker in north Korea. There is really a bad smell in Israel, and no amount of "Jewish brotherly deodorant" can disguise the stink and permanent stench that waffles through the air. It has become dangerous to be a simple citizen here.
8. Said Juan D.Peron
Eli ,   Haifa   (12.29.15)
"For my friends everything, for my foes not even justice"
9. Olmert deserves his punishment
C   (12.29.15)
he is a dishonest and self serving man who betrayed the trust placed in him by the people of israel. olmert was ready to sell out israel and give her precious heritage to foreigners and enemies of the state. a bowl of lentils is all olmert deserves.
10. Olmert is lucky he's not religious Sephardic
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.29.15)
but a secular leftists criminal.
11. israeli court system rotten to the core
jerald   (12.29.15)
the israeli courts and its members are absolutely rotten to the core as the 18 month sentence is nothing and less time will be served. \\\\as dror said, the court probably took into account olmert's attempts at peace through massive concessions to the arabs. isis or hezbollah would be sitting on one side of the kinneret if this shmuck had had his way and ben gurion would have been rocketed on a regular basis. \israel set up a country but has not yet thrown off a rotten corrupt court system. \this will be the downfall of israel. white collar crime defendants can now cite the olmert case and be acquitted on almost all charges but for a slap on the wrist. \israel iI believe is now finished.
12. 5 shmucks on the supreme court olmert decision
manny   (12.29.15)
the 5 court justices who reduced olmert sentence to 18 months are shmucks, disconnected from reality.Now olmert goes to a special wing of a jail for white collar criminals where all the amenities will be available. the court has said olmert did not take bribes in the holyland-5 legal shmucks who like peres are disconnected from reality. Bad enough that olmert failed in the hezbollah war by appointing no nothing peretz as defense minister and trying to fight the war on the cheap without a clue on how to fight an asymmetric war, this was bad enough.when israelis save for haaretz and ynet said to olmert.. get the hell out of office, he refused.then all of this came to light. So olmert will be out of jail probably before August 2017 and like deri will return to politics. Though unlikely, he may return to the pm office in a coalition with herzog as israelis are sick of bibi and his bull. They want someone else but olmert is very tricky and elusive. Then they will make a deal with abbas or his successor to clear 96% of west bank with a road bridge to gaza cutting israel in 2 pieces. E. jerusalem will be given over to abbas. hamas will take over and as sure as there is food on the table, hamas will rocket ben gurion, tel aviv Then syria and hezbollah will demand the golan to which herzog and olmert will agree to come down in return for peace. syria will violate the agreement and send massive troops to the golan. Herzog and olmert will then announce plans for full peace in one state of Palestine with israel ceasing to exist. Justice joubran will head to ramallah to a celebratory feast with abbas or his successor. the state of israel will be pronounced dead. IDF soldiers will lose hope and would not fight full out for olmert. This is what the supreme court decision means for Israel-its destruction. You watch. For me, I would move heaven and earth to throw these 5 justices off the court by investigating them for any favors that they had been given prior to the appeal.

With a brother like Yossi, who needs enemies?
14. Olmerts real crime: He tried to sell out
