OK, when I went to j-school 30 years ago it was a different generation -- but we were taught to present both sides of a story. So why is it that you will never see a report detailing the meetings the Lubavitcher Rebbe held with every major Israeli leader in the last few decades, warning them that even talking - talking -- about giving away land, will endanger millions of lives. For goodness sakes, YNET, who do you think you are to write a headline that calls Jewish land "settlements?" Even tobacco companies have more integrity nowadays -- they at least warn people that smoking can cause death!

Forbiding Jews, because they are Jews, to live where they want to live is anti-Semitic. ADL, where are you?

Don't even try to spin this as racism. A Jew can't just illegally immigrate to America and build his house on American land with no approval from the American government. Similarly, we cannot simply enter Palestinian territory and build our houses on land which under international law belongs to them, and in many cases is privately owned by Palestinians. This is not a matter of racism, it is a matter of the rule of law. And I suggest you begin to open your eyes and realise that you are leading Israel down a very dangerous path with your rejection of international law.

At least they would be put into already existing communities in Judea and Samaria. But even this will cause outrage from the EU and the U.S.! But screw them!!

Though we have modern political rights dating back to the First World War, Jewish youth in Israel are not taught them: "After World War I, the borders and countries that today make up the Middle East were created - Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc. Modern Israel was created the same way! The countries of the world charged Britain [in the San Remo Resolution of 1920, based on the League of Nations and Balfour Declaration - ed.] with creating a 'national homeland' for the Jewish People, based on the 'historical rights' of the Jews, and calling for Jewish immigration and settlement here. But do Jewish youths know this? Are they taught this?! Only a quarter of the land, including Hevron and Shechem, originally designated for the Jews by the League of Nations, was left for us - but all this is not known by our Jewish youth! The historical and political truth about rights and legitimity can be read in its 5 parts at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/myths-hypotheses-and-facts-concerning_3280.html

Why do you Israeli newspapers keep calling your towns - settlements - Is San Antonio, Texas on the US border with Mexico a "settlement", is Bellingham, Washington on the border with Canada a "settlement" .. you are simply pawns in the hands of a media that loves to bash israel by calling your big towns (and 10,000 residents is a sizeable number) "settlement" to give the impression they are "set up by people sneaking around illegally and plunking down".. When is your newspaper going to start routing for the Jewish people instead of the other side?

and we'll let you live.

No concessions.

since some time, LEFTIES and Arabs terrorists post on this board hateful vile against jews this should not be allowed

is how utterly despicable they are in the eyes of the people and they are fooling no body. Transparent fools. Your time has come. Get OUT.

but self-appointed - and they TOO need to leave. PRONTO.

I can't believe that this same reporter wrote last week about rockets endangering his family in Ashkelon -- and he still doesn't have a clue that stories like this lead to more danger. Wow oh wow when he wakes up he's going to have a hangover, Hashem Yishmor.

more leftie hatred

the idea behind that just to give good image that israel dismental settelment. what i say soon or later will be no rapist around palestine. soon or later they will leave if not by their will it will be by the international law.

the fear is permeating these web sites - so come on - prove that anyone ever elected you. Waiting........

To make DEALS with the Israeli Govt? Were there ever elections? Were the PEOPLE ever consulted? Just who are these people in the so-called council of Yesha? Puppets for the govt? You don't say!

Disgusting how money brings about appeasement and a change of heart. ALL of Judea and Shomron is Israel. We don't need agreements. We don't need money to appease us. We don't need to sell ourselves like whores. Too bad the COUNSIL doesn't understand the concept of ETHICS.

try NON violence for once

so true........

In a few years the tables will be turned and these "settlers" will be the True Leaders running this Nation. G-d knows, we need them at the helm right now more then ever.

This is ridiculous. The outposts are illegal. Period. So evacuate them already and quit fooling around. Why should Hamas take us seriously when we don't even take our own government seriously? And how can they assume Israel will keep agreements when we don't even enforce our own laws? No other democracy would put up with this. Put the idiots in jail.
