6. Every hill in Samaria and every valley in Judea is part...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (06.16.08)
Every hill in Samaria and every valley in Judea is part of our historic homeland. The Land of Israel is ours by Historical and Moral right and in 1920 the world recognized our undeniable national rights to this land. It is ours by the historic right of the people of Israel to the entire Land of Israel. The Jews have the right to build and live freely in their country. Every hill in Samaria and every valley in Judea is part of our historic homeland. We do not forget this, not even for one moment as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi9g8
7. Did the Secretary ask if...
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (06.16.08)
...Israel will continue the policy of trying Palestinians youths before military tribunals for throwing stones at tanks ? Did she ask if Israel will continue to put these children in jail while having the IDF turn a blind eye when the children of Settlers throw stones at Palestinian women and children? Or did she just show up for the photo op and deliver the June welfare cheque?
8. price for shalit
alan ,   capestraightak   (06.16.08)
here we get to the meat. why in the Paelestinean mind is one Jew worth 100 Arabs, if in the Arab mind, one Jew is a dog or a rabbit or worse? Does this mean 100 Arabs are worth only one Jew in the Palestinean mind? Is one Jew so worthy in their mind or are 100 Arabs so unworthy? In the West, one man is worth one man. It is called equality. It occured slowly starting in the late 16th cen until the revolutions of 1776 and 1789. The 1:100 ratio seems to reveal that the Arab mind does not recognize the revolutions of 1776 and 1789 and still lives in 550. Why should Israel turn back the clock 1400 years to 500? Why not clearly draw the line at the Declaration of the Rights of Men. And why doesn't France and the US demand Gilad Shalit's release for only one other Palestinean prisoner?
9. Rice is a pain in the b.......!
Saftala ,   ISRAEL   (06.16.08)
Doesn't Rice have enough to do to fix the mess in Iraq without sticking her nose into our business.
10. Give her a box of Kleenex and put her on the plane.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (06.16.08)
11. There's no such thing as "Arab neighborhoods" in Jerusalem
Miriam ,   Israel   (06.16.08)
ALL of Jerusalem belongs to THE JEWS who are thoughtful enough to ALLOW them to live with US. BUT THEY BELONG TO THE JEWS FOREVER.
12. Does not know her facts
Leah ,   Israel   (06.16.08)
I would of thought that someone in the White House would of explained to Rice that Israel the Land of Israel was given to the Jewish people by G-d, and the deeds to this are in the Bible. If Ms Rice wants to do some good in the world she should go back to her native Africa and address the poverty and killings there because of tribal violence.
13. At last Olmert has spoken truthfully.
(06.16.08)
14. We have to continute construction...
nachum ,   golan   (06.16.08)
Because Olmert wants to give away other land, so we need the extra housing for all the people he would displace... oh wait, he's not going to be PM in a few weeks! BYE BYE!
15. #7: Worry about Quebec independence. Leave Israel alone.
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (06.16.08)
16. #12 - "her native africa?"
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (06.16.08)
She's from Alabama, you idiot.
17. Headline should be: "Rare Olmert straight talk to Rice"
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (06.16.08)
that's refreshing. From one member of a failed government to another.
18. Now I would like to see a new tender....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (06.16.08)
800 new apartments in the Golan.
19. #6 - Robert - so go live in a hill or on a valley....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (06.16.08)
in the territories and quit beating your chest from the comfort of your apartment in Tel Aviv. Your rants are getting boring already. Face facts, there will be some kind of land concession in Judea and Samaria. That's what is required of us by morality and history.
20. #7 - It would be interesting to see....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (06.16.08)
the Canadian army on patrol and then kids barraging them with rocks, bottles and sticks. What do you think the result would be? I would suggest the answer is dead Canadian kids.
21. Israel Stand Up for Jews & the Free World-BUILD BUILD BUILD
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.16.08)
22. Raggedy Jack & Andy logic
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (06.17.08)
A: You didn't address the discrepancy between the IDF willfully turning a blind eye while Jewish children throw rocks and the manner they treat Palestinian children. How convenient of you in the safety of your delusional fortress in ramat hasharon. J: I have no need to worry about the sovereignty movement in Quebec. As though that even has anything to do with the matter. Curious how you both evade the issue. I suppose , like me, you both see the settlement policy as indefensible and diabolical. Thank you for helping to make the point clear.
