Bibi's Blog: Olmert is shooting blanks

Bibi if you don't take control very soon tere will be no Isreal. Our people are acting like the Polish Jew who wouldn't speak out to help his brothers who lived on a lower block and then when the Nazis came for him there was no one to speak for him.

All Israeli PM's cave to American diktats, sooner or later. After all, it would be hard to make a go of it without military spare parts and diplomatic cover at the UN. You caved a bit less than others. Olmert's Clown Parade, on the other hand, stands out for its singular incompetence and lack of spine.

You are right Bibi (as you are fondly called), if there is a time Israel needs you, it is now.

Olmert is a miserable Prime Minister ever seen in this millenia, everyone knows that you did fine during your tenure as a Prime Minister, no matter what people are saying, you are needed right now on the scene to rescue this nation (Israel) from this corrupt and maladrous government headed by Olmert and co.

May YHWH help you in your fight to save Israel from the hands of blood thirsty Islamic terrorists.

Bibi,

Why are you defending yourself? You sound weak and are playing into Olmerts hands. Stay the course; pound the bricks about Iran and the evil that is heading your way. People are listening and taking actions. Olmert is no match for you and the Prime Ministership is awaiting your return....when the time is right and only you know when the right time will be. So quit yakking and do something about it already.

Whether you agree with Bibi or not, he is a very popular figure in the West! Please continue to feature quotes from his blog here. Thanks :-)

dear bibi,

we will never forget what decisions who took in regards to Hebron.As the all saying said: One who forgets where he comes from as no future, this was your position when you were prime minister.

Great article. Bibi should be brought back to power. Knesset is no place for clows. Olmert has made israel look weak, undefendable and embarrased the integrity of the army.

get him out before it is too late

That is the leadership that is so desperately needed in Israel right now. The fact that all of the countries that were pushing for a "peace" agreement, including the USA disliked Bibi so much. Israel needs its friends but it needs real peace and security first

Say it Louder Bibi , Scream it from the Rooftops . Yell it into every microphone you can get your hands on . Sing it from the Mountain Tops , We need YOU NOW !!!!

Although I do not support everything that Netayahu did when he was in charge, all the points he makes now are valid. The accusations against him by Ohlmert have no merit. I also very strongly believe that at tjhe present time he is the best leader that Israel has.

"We want peace, but not at every price." That is a statement every political should remember and adhere to. Unfortunately, Olmert continues to fail miserably as a PM. He instigated a war with Hezbollah and then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. He caters to radical Islamicists by encouraging Turkish leaders to inspect the excavation at Mughrabi. He has done nothing to bring the captured Israeli soldiers home. He has allowed global opinion of Israel-- already low due to anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism-- to deteriorate. We need strong leaders who will maintain Israel's strategic interests and who will stand strong in the face of opposition. I want Bibi back!!!

Netanyahu is Israel's leader in waiting, Lord willing. Olmert good navigating Israel's internal politics, but lacks foresight needed of statesmen. Netanyahu thinks ahead, is personally courageous, and has excellent grasp of world

politics.

Since Olmert formed his government we have had, unfortunately, Peretz a person who has proven to be the most incompetent defense minister any country has ever had. This has led to a crisis of confidence in the IDF. When you hopefully again become prime minister, what will you do to restore our military establishment's capability to protect the country?

Binyamin,

You know, as do we all, that this will not end. The only end to this entire scenario is when Israel is removed from its God given land. And it was given to you be God.

Those of us that are pro-Israel have to sit here and watch these various transpirings, and at most all we can do is pray for the peace of Israel.

It sickens me to see a Muslim agenda trying to usurpe its authority on Israel's on land. The Dome on the Rock, the Asqa, etc.

My only question is this... When are you Israels, the people that God said are his covenant people (and you can think what you want, but He said it), when are you going to put your foot down and say enough.

That is your land.

Bibi, Olmert is the worst it gets. While you were a better PM you still bowed to American pressure and if you are PM again you will buckle again.

Unfortunately fear of America is our greatest downfall.

HE IS THA MAN , BORN LEADER , MAY G-d put him back in power .

Answer #2:

This is the one I have a problem with. I do not, nor will I, know the particulars of what happened. However, I think the releasing of the Sheik and the failure to take out Mashaal has had a costly price.

Soldiers realize the risk they take when they signup to defend their country. Once battle starts or the mission is commenced there are no gurantees for a soldier or sailor's safety.

I posted a link as well as my feelings about this at my blog: bigasrants.townhall.com

Although this answer causes me to feel a little let down I am still very much Pro-Netanyahu. Hopefully Israel will wakeup soon.

Keep the faith Mr Netanyahu. When will the rest of the nation decide that it has had enough of this false posturing from the Palestinians? Israel is only looking for the right man to step up and take his rightful place in history by depending on God and not the whims of other nations. Read the prophet Isaiah. No one can stop Israel if they will trust God. You are trying to do something that is right because it is the right thing to do. Go For It!!!! It is nice to see someone say no to all of the stupidity of the politicians.

Bibi, you are absolutely right. I remember your term as PM and trust me my friend, you did 1,000% better that Olmert could ever think of doing. Never follow the path of land for peace. It never works. Do all you can my friend to get rid of this Kadima Party, and it's corrupt leaders. Bibi, you are one of the strong warriors in the land today who can stand up to the pals, arabs, terrorists, and if need be, the US. Continue to let your voice be heard until you are finally re-elected. Shalom my friend, Shalom.

Bibi! Bibi! Bibi! PM! PM! PM!

Israel does not have enough time to wait for elections. If Israel intends to abide by Olmert, Israel will expire with Olmert. He has no judgment, no knowlege of the past, no intelligence, no backbone.

He has got to go.

Al.

Shalom Alechem Mr. Netanyahu,

I think what you stated was indeed correct. You are not to blame for the rise of Hamas, however we are in a very dangerous situation today which you know all too well about. Olmert is not prepared and not equipoed to deal with the Hamas threat ans he embraces the enemey and the Abaas threat. There is a real problem when most of the country knows and votes poll after poll that they are essentially afraid of the government and prime minister in power now. We all know, especially those on the right that you would be a much better prime minister and not only that, you will come to save Israel and Zionism at a time when it seems to be attacked within and externally from many different areas. We need a strong, intelligent and honest leader such as yourself to save this weak perception which is corrct. Israel is seen as very weak in comparison to what it once was. I suggest you do everything in your power to make sure you start letting the general public know you will run and you are confident you will win. You need to do everythin within your power to gain as much strength from Likudniks but also the right. I like the idea of alligning yourself with various parties on the right. It's time now Mr. Netanyahu for you to take over and do it in a very distinct, confident way. Make sure you make your agenda clear: Iran,saving the west bank and those jews who were evicted from Gaza, building Jerusalem as a Jewish city and building Israel as a Jewish state. Tough measures on terrorists in the liberated territories and in gaza and tight security measures. Economically, I wont even say a word, I think we all completely trust your sound judegment in this respect. Please save the country and you must do it now. We on the right and the religious right support you wholeheartedly.

Bibi,

Save the Children of Israel from these corrupt,spineless fools.They are a disgrace to our people and our G-d. There are many of us with you.

In all honesty, you can score some good points, but I'm not convinced you'd do any better than the last time you were PM. Plus, I won't forgive you for halving my Bituach Leumi money. I can't work any harder or smarter than I do, and you only decreased my resources. so, for me, National Security isn't my only issue. And you did sign the Wye Agreements, and that was US pressure, too, just like Olmert knuckles under. If you end up running for PM, against Labor or Kadima, I guess you'll be the lesser of 2 evils.

After last summer's war in Lebanon, I was certain that within a month - certainly within six - Olmert would have been relinquished of his duties. That he's still running things is a testament to an unfortunate leadership vacuum in Israel. Who's going to take over from them? I find Bibi a bit distaseful, but unfortunately he's the only credible choice.

Whatever happens Israel must be strong.

Mr. Prime Minister,

The trying events of the past year have been difficult to follow and have led to a good deal of discomfort and disillusionment. Some of the only recent sources of optimism were your appearances during the Lebanon crisis (supporting a gov't we both know was ineffective at best) and the thought of your re-emergence as the leader of the people of Israel. Having followed your career since the late 1980's (when I first read "A Place Among the Nations") I sincerely look forward to a return to the concept of RECIPROCITY

I hope to see you working effectively with President Giuliani in the near future.

Olmert must be made to leave office. He is incapable of being the charge of the future of Israel or for that matter the present.

Bibi as you are lovingly known as, should be charged with the responsibility of Prime Minister of Israel, not only for the well being of Israel's present and future but also for the world and how it relates to the present character of the middle east. Israel needs strength and forsight in its dealings with Syria, Lebanon and Iran. As well it needs to be proactive in dealing with Hamas and Hezbollah and the PA.

Take charge and move forward Mr. Netanyahu. The time is right.

Shabbat Shalom

Sir,

I hope the very best for you and all of Israel. Do as The Lord leads you.

Bless you.

It's easy for us in the diaspora to forget that Israeli's have domestic issues other than the vile, murderous fanatics that threatened and threaten it from day 1. Fact is, Bibi made life extremely tough for a large portion of Israeli society (dare I say the majority, or bordering thereabouts). Yes, cuts were needed from social spending - but Bibi's cuts were too deep, too fast, too harsh. When your elderly go hungry, when refugees you brought over from Russia are living in squalor, when civic employees go unpaid - you have a serious problem that threatens your society.

That said: Bibi's cuts are but a part of this story. The terror and its effective wiping out of Israeli tourist industry, and devastating effect on economy are other pieces of the social tragedy that exists in Israel today.

I don't know if Bibi is the answer, though it is clear we NEED an answer FAST.

Olmert is not a clown, he is far worse, he doesn't make anyone laugh - he's INCOMPETENT. When you have failed AGAIN and AGAIN, when the nation is TELLING YOU that you have FAILED AGAIN and AGAIN. When things are getting worse and worse, when faith and hope dwindle, then you, MR OLMERT, step down.

I cannot fathom how the current administration remains in power. As lovers of Israel they have a duty to step down immediately (quite frankly, these non-military folks should have stepped down before the summer war in Lebanon...If not before then surely after the embarassment).

Like I said, I don't know if Bibi is the answer, I DO KNOW that Olmert is NOT!

The state of Israel will always need as Prime Minister a strong leader, capable of using Israel's strength, and who cares more about Israel's rights to its God given land and safety than he cares about world opinion (which by the way is completely antisemitic). I think Netanyahu is such a leader. I hope God decides to put him in charge soon ... God is the one with the last word. God bless you Israel, stay strong.

There is only one question: Yes or no, does Mr. Netanyahu believe the ultimate goal of Israeli diplomacy is a "two-state solution." Depending on his answer, Mr. Netanyahu will be a great historical figure or another failed Israeli politician.

There are several things you NEED to emphasise. 1) Insist of ther US freeing Jonathan Pollard. 2) Take back control of the Temple Mount from the Arabs, and check into Solomon's Stables. 3) take back a strip of northern Gaza. 4)refuse to co-operate with the Arabs until they get their "house" in order.5) Swear and promise to CLEAN up the corrupt legal practices, and make Israelis proud again.

These all on top of the neccessary platform to achieve the premiership.

BIBI, you are the KING - period. I sure as hell hope that Olmert and his band of clowns fall real soon i.e. after the Winograd Report is released (i.e. assuming that someone hasn't bought it off yet) - hopefully underscoring the "Leadership's" incompetence before, during and after the lebanon war. BIBI, you are a true PATRIOT, you are STRONG and you and only you are the MAN for such HIGH OFFICE. All I hope is that when ISRAEL launches its pre-emptive strike against iran followed by the US, is that it's under your watch and not that bunch of traitors running the PLACE right now. If it's not, G-D help ISRAEL, that's all I can say. Another thing, I just can't figure out why the ISRAELI PUBLIC can't seem to figure out that the RIGHT is the only way to go. If they continue to vote for kadima/labour then they get what they deserve. To most JEWS in the DIASPORA (including MYSELF) it seems only logical that YOU BIBI (LIKUD) + the other RIGHT Wing Parties needed to form your Coalition are the only choice. RESTORE ISRAEL'S MILITARY DETERENCE and POWER and make the enemy pay the ultimate price!!! G-D BLESS YOU BIG GUY (and your Legendary BROTHER YONNI), I'M rooting for YOU, I just hope that the rest of the ISRAELI Public is too!!!

Olmert is Good for Israel!

How can an imcompetent, corrupt politician who botched the war in Lebanon be good for Israel? Simple.

As long as he's weak, the US will not push him to evacuate any settlements. As long as Olmert is in power, the Judean enterprise will continue.

If or when a better Prime Minister gets elected he will be pushed by the US and EU to make concessions. This loser that is Olmert is in no position to make concessions, so he's good for us.

Stephen Shayes

Dear Netanyahu, Despite that you are not perfect, the nation already believes you'll be the next PM. In these days of uncertainty with Iran, Syria and Hisbullah, Israelis can't have confidence to elect any one who doesn't have experience as you already have and hopefully learned from previous mistakes....Through JPost, readers have opportunity to know your former secretary Caroline Glick. Her love for the Jewish state and the nation is above all, her great right wing common sense and her experience in your political office highly qualifies her to receive a ministerial portfolio in the next Likud government. I personally believe, her official and direct political contribution should be an asset...... Ba atzlacha.

Bibi Conor Cruise O'Brien said in his book .The siege that you would make the best PM ever.I believe it. Live up to whathe said & do it for the Israeli people & Yoni for sure! Respectfully Daniel Ravin !

Bibi is all big talk and can make enemies with one and all including the Israelis. You do not believe in moderation - should there ever be a time when the Yanks turn against the Israelis - nothing can help them but God - however most Israelis have even turned away fron God.

no one around is as elloquent as bibi -- hopefully pm as soon as possible --------- shalom to all israel === augustine e jiohnson

Dear Mr. Nataniyahu shalom uVracha,

Please kindly do something to bring down Olmert government. This man has no will power, no spirit, no respect for our Jewish and Israeli honor. He is a big mistake of our voter, who came to power only and only because of the old merits of General Sharon.

The time works against us. Iran is building the nuclear bomb and Russians are helping them day and night. The sooner the new strng government will come to power, hopwelly it will be lead by you, the more will be our chances to strike the Iranians first. We have no other chance...We have to follow the example of Menachem Begin Z'L.

With Bracha, Michael Finkel.

Despite the liberal media in the West,supporting the terrorist Arabs, Israel WILL survive. Do not believe what you hear, see and read. The sooner Bibi gets back as Prime Minister, and he WILL get back, the better.

Joe Briscoe, Dublin, Ireland

Dear Bibi:

I have been following you for the past eight years, and you are the singularly most tallest leader of the present times for Israel. Hope you get the mantle of premiership sooner than later, and very hopeful that it will not be too late then.

I think all the Jews in the world need you to recover our dignity, and our faith in Israel. Bibi, we put all our trust in you as our next Prime Minister.

I think that all Jews in the world need you as our next Prime Minister to recover our dignity and our faith and trust in Israel.

Binyamin Netanyahu I do not know you from Adam. I regret that, because I believe that intellectually you would be a stimulating friend.

As a Christian, I honour my Judaic roots and as an Irishman I see the close connection between Judaism and the Druidic culture. A lost tribe? We will never know. As a concerned human being of somewhat advanced years [I am sixty-one] and considerable global experience I am very concerned about the situation in the Middle east; more so because I have a tendency to do things back-to-front, and I have three children under six years of age.

Many people believe that the Christian era is drawing to a close. National boundaries are collapsing and a one-world super economy is emerging that is controlled by a very few powerful men and multi-national financially motivated institutions and committees. As more and more people turn away from the Christian Churches a strange global ecumenism embracing many faiths, creeds and beliefs is appearing, but that ecumenism is not related to Christianity or Judaism.

In your country Israel, and mine Ireland, and also in Canada and Spain where I spend much of my life there has grown a terrible apathy towards world events coupled with a palpable distrust of politicians. In the first instance, it is easier to deny the existence of the current threats to humanity, and in the second the widespread corruption at all levels of politics is nauseating.

Mr. Netanyahu, my question is this: are you ready to set partisan politics to one side? As ‘Bibi' you have a large following in Israel who see you as their only hope: are you up to this challenge? Can you become the person of the moment in Israel's hour of need? This is an incredible responsibility, because not only Israel's survival is on the table, but also the survival of the world.

You know and I know that nothing is going to change in the Islamic mindset. Diplomacy is as dead as the dodo bird. Israel needs a leader who will be directive to the world community and then, in the absence of support, be able to act for Israel's [and the world's] best interest alone if necessary. A leader who can bear the wrath of those people in his own world who refuse to see what is happening and would rather bury their heads in the desert sands.

Hell of a rotten job! Can you do it? On my part I can only offer the limited help and support of a relative bystander. I can only say that I am not a coward who would push other people into conflict: I would willingly come to Israel and volunteer as a Christian padre in the IDF [I am young enough and fit enough to do that at least!]. You have much support I believe and, I for one see nobody else with the chutzpah to take on the task!

There are thousands of loose emails off everywere in our military circles about you sir, I have not found one in our local ranks that does not see you as the last and greatest hope for your nation. You are the man.

Dear Binyamin Netanyahu, Please save Israel there is a large campaign here to support your efforts. No one has ever talked like that and made so much sence. We support you at our love and war site at nightsky.proboards61.com and we use the Jpost quotes of yours often. Please tell us more about Iran and what is going on?

Why is Benjamin Netanyahu called "Bibi" ? Does he really wet in his pants ???

Bibi,

I'm afraid that Mr. Olmert has already ran out of ammunition. That is why he is shooting the blanks. Right now, he lost the support of his people and his administration faced a series of corruption including his own. It appears that he is "passing the buck" to cover his own failures. He is going the opposite way of what the majority of the people wanted him to govern. Its hopeless. You have to wonder if he is running against Israel and supporting PLO. I know that he is the worst PM in history, worst than Ehud Barak. Your people need to wake up quick before it is too late and have a special election to get a strong PM like you to put Israel back on track and really protect your borders. Your leadership will upgrade the IDF to "stonewall" any invasion attempt from your surrounding enemies and hit their hearts so they will not hurt your people again.

Several writers in this column have called Benjamin Netanyahu "King" or "the best hope for Israel". While he was the greatest prime minister since Golda Meir and I pray for his return to the office of prime minister, the truth is Israel's Messiah is King and the only hope for Israel. Bible prophecy warns us that conditions will only get worse until the Messiah returns to redeem Israel. No matter what the unbelieving world says or does the return of the Messiah is a fact of prophecy that will soon come to pass. "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord" Let us pray for Israel and Israel's redeemer and let him avenge the evil done in this world.

I praise the lord for Binyamin Netanyahu and his stand for Israel and her people. I hope and pray that he will again be Prime Minister of Israel and do a good job. I pray for Israel and the Jewish people on a daily basis.

Shalom

Jerrie Nicholas

Psalm 122:6

Sir, You have a mandate from UP THERE to get your country out of this mess!!

As a christian I want to see you as DAVID against Goliath, and see the same outcome!A big Shalom to you Sir.

Dear Netanyahu, There are many nations going to come against you. Have you forgot what hapened to Sodom and Gomorrah and why? Repent and turn back to obeying the commandments of GOD, and He will guide you all.

We are certainly at extremely auspicious times. Israel has the option to chase and mimic the gentile world and follow it at it's heals. In which case we're "Yaacov" (Literally at Eisav's heels) or we can declare our eternal promise of this land and it's god given to us in 1967 and stand up like Yisrael (Jacob's loftier name) meaning he has widthstood the gentile pressure and stood for Israel. Do it .. Visit www.israelrallies.com to get this going.

Bibi i fully support you and your policies.. Todays government seems to ignore many important things, like Gaza, Lebanon,Syria.. Nothing is being done to stop stop smuggling of arms to Hezbollah, nothing is done while Syria arms itself for a conflict with Israel.

To Benyamin:"HEAD 'EM UP, AND MOVE 'EM OUT"-----i.e.---Cry out again:---"RISE UP O GOD, AND LET THINE ENEMIES BE SCATTERED; LET THEM THAT HATE THEE, FLEE BEFORE THEE!"
