Yeah, that will make the terrorists stop killing.

Israel knows full well that any "treaty" will be broke. They need to hype this stuff to the max and when the muzzies break it....go all out.

I thought the issue was a dispute between Syria and Israel?

[American in Israel]

Omert is a politician first and a human second. While it is a slick move as it takes away the excuse of the Hizbullah, the Hizbullah will just come up with a different excuse. However Israel has now given strength to the idea that the land does not belong to Israel.

In reality, the land was Syrias not Lebanons before the war so Omert is offering something from party A to pay off party C.

Reality need not apply to politicians, but it does tend to bite you in the butt anyway.

Perhaps Omert should offer his million dollar house, It would be refreshing to see a politician offer his own home instead of his neighbors for a change.

Nobody cares if the Hizbullah has an excuse.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has signaled that Israel might cede the disputed Chebaa Farms area to Lebanon if the Lebanese carry out all provisions of their cease-fire with Israel, including the disarming of Hezbollah guerrillas, Israeli media reported on Friday.

Now's that's good thinking, especially since the Gaza giveaway went so swimmingly.

"JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has signaled that Israel might cede the disputed Chebaa Farms area to Lebanon if the Lebanese carry out all provisions of their cease-fire with Israel, including the disarming of Hezbollah guerrillas, Israeli media reported on Friday. "


It will never happen and Olmert knows it. BUt it throws it into Hezbollah's lap.

[Richard Axtell]

Olmert will cede the "Chaba Farms" sector when the Lebanese sign an agreement that "locks in" their commitment to disarm the Hezbollah terrorist army. Israel will make yet another territorial concession in the face of terrorist threats, Lebanon will not even begin to enforce the provisions of the agreement. Iran will rearm both Syria and Hezbollah with much more and more effective weaponry, including anti-aircraft missiles. Ah, isn't diplomacy the better way to resolve our differences?

[Joe Boucher]

Olmert is a fool and the good folks of Israel are following this fool?

[rbg81]

This guy needs to have his head examined--after he leaves office. This will just embolden the terrorists. BTW--wasn't one of the cease fire provisions that Israel would get its soldiers back?

You Jewish folk in the Lands of the Sands seriously need to do something about your leadership.

[unionblue83]

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Will this let more missiles to penetrate further into the more populous areas of Israel?
