"In fact, we are in the midst of a complete freeze – not even one construction plan had been approved in Judea and Samaria for long months" <<< Best news we've had in weeks.

They're all illegal anyway. All of them ought to be removed pronto or evacuated and ready to accomodate returning refugees.

Josh (#1) who is from the elite and effete city of Tel Aviv?

Your a lil coward. Did you even serve? Do you hate the religious also? This is our land. Where our brothers fell conquering. And our daughters and sons are buried. If Judea and Samaria are not rightfully ours, then neither is the coastal plain. Read your damn history. At least man up...Are you a wolf or a Sheep?

Think about it. There are over 300,000 "settlers" now. Freezing construction is not even an option anymore. Don't forget that these settlers are also some of the best and most dedicated soldiers in the IDF. I think the israeli government should be supporting them instead of the goy american government

Fool me once shame on you ,fool me twice shame on me. The phony Benji ,the lap dog never fooled me. m.c ------------------------------------ If Netanyahu was a man . . . he would tell German Chancellor Merkel in no uncertain terms: "Gone are the days when Germans dictate to Jews where they can live or where they cannot live. Gone are the days of gradually suffocating Jewish life to death. We are rebuilding. Let Europe die and shrivel before the Islamic takeover." If Netanyahu was a man, he would say to Obama: "If you can change the terms of the agreement we had, then so can we. From now on we build whenever and wherever we want, including Samaria, Judea, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan." Alas, I think Netanyahu is a politician and not a man. Like Olmert and Barak, he is more interested in his own popularity abroad, rather than doing the right thing. Why is almost all illegal Arab construction retroactively authorized, yet Jewish housing all over Jerusalem is wanting, not to mention in all of the settlements?

And i suppose you will say it is good news if West bank is made a Palestinian state? You seem to have no problems with Arab illegal expansion.....but wait till the missiles reign down on Tel Aviv while you are sipping your latte at your local cafe.....then we will see what you have to say! You ignorant leftists are so selfish!

Cowardly people who are prepared to give away the heart of Israel to our sworn enemies feel threatened by fellow countrymen who represent bravery and a will to survive. For post-Zionists like Peres, the woman who happily raises her kids in Judea and Samaria is a constant reminder of their own gutlessness, leading them to develop a burning hate for the pioneering and strong ‘Jew’. Nowaday, the religious settler is the emancipated Israeli, bedecked with side locks and tzitzit, and armed with the classic fundamentals of Zionist ideology : to ingather, to build, and to settle the land of Israel.

Perhaps the "Goy" american government should stop the checks. Let the settlers become Palestinian citizens in the new Pal state.

You and the rest of the Arabian refugees need to go back to Arabia where you came from!

Not only that settlements are illegal and must be dismantled, bt the right of return is a must for peace.

Hi freejay...this particular selfish leftist likes nothing better than a hot cup of coffee at a quiet, safe cafe...iIn TA, or anywhere else you care to name. When the Palestinians have their state, a condition of their sovereignty, and Israel's, is that any provocation of war shall be met in kind, and no peanuts on the court of public opinion have any right to condemn either country's right to self defense. As it stands now, Israel is guilty of severely oppressing a stateless people. Israel may have it all after the coming of the Moshiach. Yes?
