Aug 20, 2008 - This man is such a farse! The only PAIFUL thing is to have him still in power. Settlement destruction and land surrender will only weaking Israel. His very speaking to that effect is already puting our lives in danger. Olmert has only gotten it wrong in the past, and is still completely wrong. He must resign at once. His peace is no peace!

Aug 20, 2008 - I understand that many Israelis don't like him because of the decisions that he makes for Israel but you can't blame him for the terror that the palestinians gives us. I thought he handled the interview with Charlie very well and very believable and you can't deny the fact that the Israelis have/are doing something for the sake of peace compared to our "friendly" neighbours who thinks that cleaning out the jews by killing them is a peaceful solution.
rafvrab Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - I can blame him for his party, Kadima, which created the Republic of Gaza in the first place, let the Arabs be ruled by Hamas, and let them arm themselves to the teeth, just to play the game that "they're the bad guys, the PLO is the good guys, we're making peace with them".Olmert is either completely stupid and lives a quixotic fantasy, or he's working for foreign interests.The "peace process" is a farce. We're bracing for more war.
FlawlessCock Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - So what? He made a mistake according to some. But he didn't create Hamas nor any those pathetic terrorist organisations. If they arm their people ("innocent civilians") with weapons let them do so, they will only suffer from it. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is too stupid and antisemit to realise that Israel have been too friendly with these "poor" people. He's right about the new palestinian government doing nothing, and that it's them that are bracing for terror rather then peace.
rafvrab Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Those in the world who do not realize, will never realize. Israel's game has to end. There will be no peace with a neighbor "palestinian" state, specially one carved out of Israel's own territory -- 1967 liberated land included.The "painful decisions" are a fraud. Olmert has to end the charade or call it quits, now!
FlawlessCock Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Fine with me. But you have to admit that he made some good points about the arabs strategy. I think it's pathetic by others in the world to feel sorry all the time for the "poor & innocent" palestinians and libanesians blablabla.. like their civilian people don't take lethal actions on their own, and it's not a big deal when israelis are getting bombed in the middle of the city everyday because of it. You do remember the 2006 war? When the world really felt for the injured Libanon. Pathetic.

Aug 20, 2008 - For the first time I'm a bit disappointed with Charlie. He's interviewing the guy. Regardless of whether he agrees with him, I want to hear what he has to say. He spent less time interrupting Ahmadinejad.
ToasterStrubel Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - The argument being made by Olmert about the right of return makes no sense. The ethnic character of Israel as a Jewish state is based on the dispossession of Palestinians in the same sense that the U.S. or Canada is based on the dispossession of Indians. You can't negate the rights of human beings because you've decided that you would like to live in a more ethnically homogenized state. I agree that Charlie Rose did a crap job. He didn't really challenge Olmert enough.

Aug 20, 2008 - This sums up why there wil be no peace in the middle east
dudeness1066 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - this is amazing. We're they trying to pick two guests who look almost exactly like each other?
redgiant1 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - Olmert is narrow minded. the tyrants in israel are zionists they are not jewish they are zionists.. judaism does not teach hatred. arabs were there first his historical knowledge is bias and flawed. the situation in Israel is like putting mike tyson in the ring with amir khan and then blaming khan for striking back. the palestine just want to live in peace.
GeorgeGaIIoway Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - zionism doesn't teach hatred, therefore its not racism. the israelis want to live in peace with the palestinians but the palestinians want ALL the land to themselves and won't agree to a 2 state solution

Aug 20, 2008 - the sound is so fucking horrible. is there a way to improve it?
