(IsraelNN.com) A group of reserve soldiers, who were recently discharged and are setting up a forum, have called upon Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, and Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni to resign. Tonight the soldiers will be holding a demonstration at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv at 7p.m. The demonstration is expected to be the first of several, under the banner, You failed resign!
In a petition publicized by the forum, the public is asked to sign the following: We are very worried about the fate of the country. From all ends of the political spectrum, we are calling upon the government, headed by the prime minister, to take personal responsibility for its failure and resign. We believe that we have the power as individuals rallying together, to declare, Never again!

A group of Israeli army reservists are holding a demonstration in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square tonight - to call for the resignation of the Prime Minister and the government for its wartime failure. Their slogan, appropriately enough, is: "Never again!"

I often wish that our own returning soldiers would be more politically active, as in telling the rats and the media to STFU.

Ehud would be fine as, say, the mayor of some nice suburban town in America where his biggest concern is dog doo and parking spaces. As an Israeli leader tho, he ain't cuttting it.

Olmert was the mayor of Jerusalem from 1989-2001. No one particularly remembers his tenure there.

Who do they want in charge? I thought Olmert was supposed to be a skinny Sharon. Is Benjamin Netanyahu a hardliner?

I am under the impression that Israel is a parliamentary democracy. In most models of this form of government an election is called when the government loses the confidence of parliament. Could someone explain what the procedure is in Israel.

Note to Israel: Next time around remember that you get what you vote for. Israel, like the state of New York, is not likely to vote out the socialists that cause such dangerous national security conditions. Did anything change after Clinton's weakening of pre-911 security mechanisms? It will take millions dying to change the voting preferences of those seeking to vote themselves free stuff.

Supposedly Olmert will go before the Parliament shortly.
All this chatter about how the war could have, should have, beeen won in seven days like in days of old are similar to the insanity here from the likes of Kennedy. He did the count on how quickly we defeated the Japanese and the Germans and wants to know how is it we are still in Iraq.
Urban warfare is horrifically dangerous to the Israeli's for more than just the danger to the soldiers.....it's fighting world opinion as well. Israel feels a special obligation to protect innocent life.

Israel went back into Lebanon to clean out the hezzbollah once before and the people took to the streets with their anti war chants and the polls showed that the 'people' wanted Israel to cease and desist!
Not much different than the socialists, America haters and deniers of danger here in the US.

Encouraging to see that Israel still has a warrior class......perhaps there is still hope for the civilized world yet.
