1. LOL
DM   (02.12.08)
This shows like a true leftist idiotic idea... Firtst kick out your fellow Jew from Gaza, do not i repeat do not help them at all cause they are rightwingers and than to appease your true enemy you give the arabs a beautiful lovely new city... Zionism is death sorry Jabotinsky!
2. SHEETRIT IS BEING PAID BY THE ENEMY
SHMUEL ,   ISRAEL   (02.12.08)
HE SHOULD BE CALLED A WAR CRIMINAL FOR AIDING THE ENEMY TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY COULD YOU IMAGINE THE PA PROPOSING A JEWISH CITY IN THE PA AREAS
3. Some locations
Yossi ,   Levittown, PA, US   (02.12.08)
How about on top of Mt. Hermon. No? How about 25 miles north of Metula. No? How about a mile east of Tiberias. Oh. I suppose the middle of the Hula Lake is out, too, huh? Every time I think I like Sheetrit, he comes up with another bonehead idea. This is why G-d invented a glass of brandy and a nap, Meir!
4. Build high rise apartments in the Galilee and the Negev
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (02.12.08)
Rather than Arabs living in houses and taking up alot of the land in the Negev and the Galilee it would be better if they had cities with high rise apartments. Already in Nazareth, where space is running out, this has begun. More Arabs are now working in jobs other than agriculture and the Israeli Arab birthrate is dropping. The Israeli Arab women should also receive job training and free birth control(diaphrams ect.) if they want.
5. double standard
Yosef ,   Israel   (02.12.08)
An arab city- so this means no Jews allowed? If so, then arabs should not be allowed in a Jewish city or even a Jewish country.
6. what a disgrace...
chaim   (02.12.08)
thousands are wandering the streets from gush katif and all he can do is worry about building an arab city in the north? I thought it was illegal to restrict entry to a city because of the religion? didn't a Jewish town have to take an arab couple in?
7. A comprehensive resolution of the Palestinian issue.
Malka Ziv ,   Hofit - Israel   (02.12.08)
Analysis of Palestinian deeds and declarations over the years make it difficult to avoid the conclusion that they are in effect both unwilling and incapable of achieving and maintaining statehood. Palestinian Unwillingness: This is reflected in the fact that the Palestinians have rejected every single viable proposal which would have afforded them a state -- from the 1947 partition plan to the 2000 Barak proposals. Palestinian Incapability: The Palestinian national movement has enjoyed conditions far more favorable than almost any other national independence movement since WW-II -- widespread international endorsement of their cause, unmitigated support of a superpower in the decades of the Cold War, highly sympathetic coverage by the major media organizations, and over a decade of Israeli administrations who have acknowledged (and at times even identified with) the Palestinians declared national aspiration. In spite of this, the achievements of Palestinian national movement have been more miserable than almost any other national independence movement -- bringing nothing but privation and penury to its people. It is thus far easier to understand Palestinian conduct if one assumes that it is driven less by lack of Palestinian self determination and more by the very the existence of Jewish self determination; less by the aspiration to establish a Palestinian state and more by the aspiration to dismantle a Jewish state. Thus, to successfully resolve the Palestinian problem, the Political Paradigm must be replaced by a Humanitarian Paradigm. This, however can only be done if the current Palestinian narrative, which fuels the Political Paradigm, is de-legitimized as explained at : http://tinyurl.com/27dze5
8. Lets finish with this psychotic mentality ,please?
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (02.12.08)
In one side we have checkpoints because otherwise arabs will come to explode themselves among us;in the same side we have arabs mourning the creation of the Jewish state ,being them among us...... In the other side Sheetrit wants to please the same enemies with new cities,in the same place they explode themselves to get rid of us;in this same other side we ourselves provide weapons to our enemies.... Is this psychotic or not? Untill Israel decides what it wants,peace will not be achieved. I start thinking that the problem resides among ourselves and not with our enemies.... And meanwhile....arabs keep working to get rid of us completely and definitively;and meanwhile...christians missionaries keep working and converting to better rob us just from within;and meanwhile...we keep thinking ma laasot. Difficult situation indeed for a delicate country as Israel.
9. Why? There aren't enough Arabs up in the North?
Avraham ,   NYC   (02.12.08)
10. Arab city, ha!!!
jason asman ,   boston U.S.A.   (02.12.08)
I am sure that the inhabitants of this Arab city will be loyal Israeli citizens -- NOT !!!!!!!!!
11. total waste!
oded   (02.12.08)
instead invest in our cities and loyal citizens... heck, if they want a new city/town, let them all move to aman!
12. arab city
marcel ,   arab city   (02.12.08)
they want an arab city, go oto ramallah. Israel is for the jews. Olmert blocks jewish buildings but authorizes a new arab city. kadima withoiut sharon is rotten to the core with a group of gulttonous garbage pickers Sheetreet, Boim, Ramon, Livni, Mofaz, and of course Yishai, a real coward. All these have no response to the two boys in Sderot, one of whom has lost a leg to hamas. Anyways, israel has never had a PM like Olmert . Others were weak or disappoining, most of them left when it was time. Olmert, the biggest jewish coward in israel's history, who goes to germany for support of taking self-defense action, needs to be removed. If public pressure has not worked to this point, than israelis have to exert more pressure. Certainly the gutless Barak, who badmouthes Olmert in secret won't do it,nor will Livni,who negotiates away Jerusalem in private. Shas sits with their messiah like bs artist joseph kissing Olmert with sweet messages. Israelis, march on.
13. New Arab City
Rich ,   Ft Lauderdale, USA   (02.12.08)
A new city for Israeli Arabs and Jews should be built as a model for the future of the state. Preserving the separation of the peoples is wrong and racist. It is a sad fact that Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs live by and large in separate towns. A quality town can serve as an example for the future.
14. What a bastard
Steven ,   San Francisco   (02.12.08)
Is there any hope Zionism will survive?
15. What a moron
Al   (02.12.08)
Sheerit more like shit right or is it left? Push the Arabs out they will destroy you at a moments notice. They are not your friends. They are simply sucking the system and gorging themselves on your expense. To all those bloody Jewish schnorrers groups like Magen David, Naamat Hadassah.etc .I will never ever give you a bloody cent as long as you support arabs..our sworn enemies. We Jews are so friggin stupid, we have redefined the word. Geez
16. Excellent. Just what Israel needs
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (02.12.08)
The unimaginable idiocy of an inept and corrupt government continues like the moronic little train that would; speeding along without any brakes of reality. Young Arab couples should be encouraged to **emigrate** to the areas governed by Arab leadership, ELSWHERE. Anywhere, but Israel. Breeding another eight to twelve(or more)potential assailants per family creates sociological facts on the ground as well as economic strains & drains on the Israeli economy and defense mechanisms that is approaching the apex of stupidity. An award winner for incompetence and guilelessness. How about creating another Jewish city in Judea or Samaria, and the encouraging of linkage townships(Yishuvim) as a further defense of against a hostile neighborhood that promises not to abate?
17. Is this a settlement?
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (02.12.08)
There goes the road map!
18. they should be allowed only natural growth
eddie ,   London UK   (02.12.08)
meanwhile, Israelis cannot expand their own cities, not even Jerusalem
19. Mr Sheetrit
eddie ,   London UK   (02.12.08)
First he can destroy a gaza neighbourhood. If he keeps good on that threat, then he can also build a new village in the north :)
20. SAY FAREWELL TO ISRAEL . POLITICIANS SHOULD GO TO HELL
(02.12.08)
21. New Arab City
Enrico ,   Netanya   (02.12.08)
MAD! The Arabs are steadily expropriating the Negev and the Galil, illegally taking over state lands and endangering the future of these areas. Not a single Arab area has proved itself faithful to the government of Israel, including the "kosher" Druze Pekiin. The Arabs are definitley in a bind, but does this mean we have to relinquish our country to them??? Is this government absolutely MAD??
22. I heard that this new city will be located 20km from Teheran
Moshe   (02.12.08)
23. Bad idea!
Frequent Ynet Reader   (02.12.08)
We can no longer found "Jewish cities" or "Arab cities" in this day and age. Cities should be built and its real estate sold to whoever coughs up the asking price. Isn't that a better idea?
24. ghetto
mish   (02.12.08)
this is ridiculous! you dont hear plans for an all russian or an all ethopian city so why an all arab one? if the arabs want to have their own city let them privatize and buy the land and build themselves one.. just cause they cant afford to do it mustnt mean we should have to pay for it. if you ever want there to be a true peace here anyways we have to learn to absorb them better and assimilate them in rather than seperate.
25. No ! No Arab deserves a new city !
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (02.12.08)
give them old Palestine back .
26. Build them a city in Gaza.
Antonio ,   Haifa   (02.12.08)
27. Yesterday, he was going to blow up Gaza
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.12.08)
Today, he wants to build a new Arab city. Just what Israel needs - a new city to house our enemies. Real smart, Mr Sheetrit.
28. New Program for the Mentally Challenged.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.12.08)
We call it the Knesset. There, even the most severely mentally handicapped can find employment.
29. Sheetrit TERRIFIED OF HIS REMARK to wipe out a city in Gaza
M.M.   (02.12.08)
Trying to rectify it with a stupid suggestion - as if the Galilee belongs to him personally. Typical cowardly MK of this pathetic government. If he’d be a real Zionist he’d announce that Israel is taking back Gaza and the Arabs will just have to go back to Jordan.
30. Will Jews be allowed to live in your Israel-Arab city?
M.M.   (02.12.08)
