1. The fraud of natural growth
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.29.09)
This trick has been used over and over again for massive infringements by Israel in its illegal settlement policy. Just hoping that Obama has more brains than his predecessors.
2. Obama should be pressuring Arabs to make peace
David ,   Boston, USA   (06.29.09)
Why dont the Arabs want to create another Arab Palestinian state? Its quite obvious they have NO interest in doing this. Pressure the PA to make steps to create a state. They DONT want one. Force them into trying to deny the lie. Obama is promoting racism to deny Israel building in their cities. This is NOT the American way and should be changed. Promote democracy, freedom, not racism. Whether the Jewish residents of parts of Judea and Samaria remain Israeli citizens is irrelevant. Stop saying they cant building. It is racist! This doesnt promote peace. It PREVENTS it. Obama is shaming the US. He is certainly shaming this American.
3. This was settled 6 years ago
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (06.29.09)
Israel violated the Road Map as soon as it signed it. TEXT OF ROAD MAP: Settlements GOI immediately dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements).
4. Obama has to wake up here,and do...
Malone ,   Hfx   (06.29.09)
...something intelligent for a change. His one sided pressure on Israel and groveling to the arabs will only lead to more hard feelings everywhere. It's becoming increasing clearer that he has no idea what he's doing. I thought he had better advisors than this..Maybe he does and is ignoring them..or..maybe the whole administration is just out to lunch.
5. Noting to discuss - build more and everywhere!
Nour (real) ,   Land of Israel   (06.29.09)

8. #5 it's called PALESTINE, you live in la-la land
Nour ( Genuine) ,   Palestine   (06.29.09)

9. arabs want peace,muslims wants hudna
issa yacoub ,   usa   (06.29.09)
i have no faith in our corrupt leaders.NADA,the world body offered us almost half of palestine in 1947 the arabs collectively rejected the deal,we decided to go to war and we were defeated fair and square,and so in 1967,we were offered another chance in 1968 by prime minister eshkol again we refused.in 1978 pm.BAGIN offered some deal we refused to negotiate at that time there was about 20000 settlers only residing now some say there is 450000,PM rabin called for legitamate negotiations under oslo agreement what we palestinians do send islamic terrorist to blow up civilians in buses and pizza huts,look what hamas is asking for HUDNA!!???bunch of liers i say to israelis go ahead live ur lifes in peace we will let u know when we are ready to live next to u in peace and love.the conflict between the jews and islam goes back 1400 years,when the jews were living in al-hijaz(saudia arabia)muhammad had some killed and the rest were forced to run for their lives,and now hamas trying to do the same by tricking the israelis with hudna.i know the jews are aware of this scheme but the western euro,s are not they are so stupied,muslims in less than 50 years they will be a majority in some euro countries,i mean look at the black&white ghosts that walking the streets of euro women waring black nikabs and men dressing in short white robes with long beards and shaved mustaches,the solution for this nightmare is for the euro,s to ellect right wing government
10. Israel has better title in the territory of what was ...
Dave Ronen ,   Haifa   (06.30.09)
Israel has better title in the territory of what was Palestine, than do Jordan and Egypt." Eugene Rostow, a former dean of the Yale Law School who was also under secretary of state in the Johnson years, would write years later that "Israel has an unassailable legal right to establish settlements in the West Bank." He argued that Israel's claims to the territory were "at least as good as those of Jordan." Prof. Stephen Schwebel, who would become the State Department legal adviser and subsequently the president of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, went a step further when he wrote in 1970 that "Israel has better title in the territory of what was Palestine, including the whole of Jerusalem, than do Jordan and Egypt."
