Why? Why must it be us who must give up such things in life?
Why is it not that they that must do so?
Well?
Exactly. Israel has been giving concession after concession for 6 decades. Let's see if the other side can - FOR ONCE - actually commit to something and follow through. I'm not holding my breath.
Besides, some things you NEVER, EVER, EVER give up - and for Jews and Israel, one of those things is Jerusalem, esp. the Old City and the Temple Mount. Period. End of Report. Not negotiable under ANY circumstances.
Olmert is scum, an appeaser of the worst sort who's doing this for his own benefit - to be able to say "I brought you peace, how can you toss me out of office." It would be bad enough if he was merely naive, but this is far, far beyond that point. He's corrupt, and will do ANYTHING to save his arse from being tossed out of office and into jail. I cannot believe that the Israeli public allows this would-be head of the Israeli Judenrat to have any authority
I don't often do this, but if he can't see the light - SOON - then I'm going to have to pray for an errant bolt of lightening, or a loose piece of fat in his bloodstream to end this problem. Olmert has NO right to give away Jerusalem - NONE!!!
“No Jew is at liberty to surrender the right of the Jewish Nation and the Land of Israel to exist. No Jewish body is sanctioned to do so. No Jew alive today has the authority to yield any piece of land whatsoever. This right is preserved by the Jewish people throughout the generations and cannot be forfeited under any circumstance. Even if at some given time there will be those who declare that they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the jurisdiction to negate it for future generations to come. The Jewish Nation is neither obligated by nor responsible for any waiver such as this. Our right to this land, in its entirety, is steadfast inalienable and eternal. And until the coming of the Great Redemption, we shall never yield this historic right.”

Ultimately, no. For the mean time, Zechariah prophesies that all of the world will have Jerusalem as their central focus. They will seek to divide the spoil amongst them. What is Israel’s spoil, if not her land? Things will get worse before they get better.
My guess is that he’ll get up one morning and go to his bathroom, only to discover that his foreskin has grown back.
Like A deeply held desire for survival? Once Israel gives that up . . . .
Neville Chamberlain comes off sounding less naive than Olmert.
Amen and right on, Ancesthntr!!!!! Spot on!!!!
Israel needs a revolution—within Halakhic bounds, of course!
Hmmm. Is he planning changes that would prevent the Israeli voters and the opposition from kicking him out of office?
How do you know it was ever removed in the first place?
Some people’s deeply held desires are different from other people’s.
This guy is nuts. They’d go for his family first.
I agree that it has to be a spiritual blindness. That’s the only explanation I have for the liberals in this country and around the world, too.
Arrogance and foolishness are a volatile mix.
Why does this sound to me like a chapter out of Rudy’s playbook?
I can just see Rudy or his supporters saying:
We need to give up deeply held beliefs and vote for Rudy!
Anyone taking bets on what it’ll be?
Indictment for criminal fraud?
None dare call it treason. Where is the mob to drag this fiend from office and tar and feather him?
Olmerde needs to resign or perhaps choose defenestration..
