1. Get Shalev
Shlomo Kamra   (11.18.09)
All nations should put Shalev under siege in the UN.
2. The only answer is build more and more
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (11.18.09)
all over the Land of Israel
3. Read my lips
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (11.18.09)
Jerusalem is Jewish, will remain Jewish, and anyone that does not acknowledge that historical fact is an politically deformed hypocrite.
4. Well done Bibi...
kj ,   Paris. France   (11.18.09)
How dare the Eu, America and others tell Israelis where they can or can´t build homes. Israel should ask that France stops building in Corsica, Spain in the Basque region, Britain in Northern Ireland, Russiain Chechnia.....and the list goes on. What next from the EU ? Will they let arabs dictate where we can build in Paris, Rome, Madrid ,Stockholm ? Silly me, they already dictate it. Keep growing Israel, you have many non Jews on your side.
5. Keep building
Lioness ,   Israel   (11.18.09)
Build, build and build
6. #1 Uh huh..Shoot the messenger
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.18.09)
Shows where YOU'RE coming from.
7. The world continues to tell Israel what to do.
MC   (11.18.09)
When is the world going to stop telling Israel what to do? It's high time they all worried about their own countries and their own policies and stopped dictating to Israel. Of course Israel made a big mistake with Oslo and has never recovered from this disaster. The 2 state solution even in theory is catastrophic. Why is Israel still wasting time money and resources on this misguided plan? The only way there will ever be peace is if/when the so called Palestinians, make it quite clear they have changed their agenda and will recognize the right of Israel to exist and stop calling for it's destruction It's IMPOSSIBLE to make peace with terrorists who constantly call for Israel's destruction. When will Israel wake up to this? If Israel doesn't acknowledge it, what can be expected from the reat of the world?
8. Great idea Arthur then when Israel gives back the land they
Dole ,   Txs, USA   (11.18.09)
stole it will be already for the people they stole it from.
9. #4 more! perfect timing to turn every country against Israel
observer   (11.18.09)
10. Doleisanidiot
Cynic ,   USA   (11.18.09)
Dude come up with something grounded in fact. What sovereign state was land stolen from?
11. #8 - you think Texas is really yours?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (11.18.09)
When you will give it back to Mexicans (who are overflowing your State) or Indians from whom it's stolen - you might find some justice to your talkback. In the meantime - do a little reading. The book is called "Torah" or Bible, Old testaments, whatever - I doubt you will have any doubts to whom Land of Israel really belongs
12. I bet they can't name the law
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.18.09)
I challenge anybody in the world to show us the so-called international law. I can name three international laws that dispute that claim.
13. EU: how about you kiss my Jewish arse? I build where I want
avraham ,   nyc   (11.18.09)
14. Sweden can create the Palestinian state in Sweden
AK   (11.18.09)
They have plenty of land and not enough people. It will also speed up transition into a Muslim state their politicians yearn for.
15. this report proves that OSLO was a mistake!
end the false ,   "pieces" process   (11.18.09)
16. But, but, but
Juan ,   EU - Spain   (11.18.09)
Israel is not in the EU. Who is the EU? It's Lisbon treaty has not yet come into force, and when it does, it will not speak for me through it's president. The EU has now become anti democracy by usurping the authority of it's member states. Now that IS illegal. Go and sort Kosovo out. Keep your nose out of Jerusalem - it belongs to Israel.
17. eu and beilin
alexi   (11.18.09)
The EI is an appeasment organisation trying to buy off their own moslems at israel's expense and it won't work. Beilin is an incredible appeaser going back to oslo, camp david, taba and olmert days. Who cares if abbas accepts israel's 10 month freeze. Belin is a hapless weak jew fitting the nazi stereotype of the pathetic jew. A brave israeli patriot and the press does not want to admit it, is avigdor lieberman. He doesn't flinch, he plays hardball and the enemy knows exactly what israel will do, and he will fight if he has to even at the table. For that reason, a lot of enemies are afraid of him. He easily would be the best candidate for PM. Barak is weak as PM though good at defense, bibi is not bad but a bit weak in his core, livni is not weak, she is just a raving moron with her olmert concessions and olmert is gutless and crooked. That is why erdogan could use him because he could roll over him and get the golan for his buddy syria. The only thing assad has going for him is his wife, one of the best looking women in the middle east. All you so called peaceniks including ginsberg should ask themselves how many missiles are hitting the south now relative to olmert and livni's reign. The sderotis know a coward when they see one and olmert and livni were the dictionary definnition of gutless cowards.
18. Illegal?
jakko ,   Israel   (11.18.09)
I'm not writing this in response to any of your comments - quite frankly, they all sound pretty immature to me. I'm just wondering if anybody can tell me - what is "illegal"? Illegal by whom? What law? What is the law? Who wrote this law and about whom was it being written? That sounds like a better point of conversation; to me. Thanks
19. #8 -Dole - Why would Jordan want it back?
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (11.18.09)
What everyone is forgetting is that Israel liberated the area in question from Jordan not the Palestinians. At the time there were no Palestinians with their own land or country. Just the Arabs who had lived in the Ottoman empire and under the British or Jordanians.
20. Europeans trying to give out another White Paper
Ken Jurist   (11.18.09)
Israel needs to tell these Europeans to go to Hell.
21. EU leaders have double standards and holier than thou attitude.
Mikha ,   Kenya   (11.18.09)
When these leaders scramble forand partition foreign nations for their own selfish spheres of influence then its ok but when a nation such as Israel struggles for its own existence they seek to control the destiny of the Jewish nation by deciding what is right or where to build in a sovereign state?!!! The Romans who destroyed Jerusalem and the holy temple were europeans not forgeting painful recent history.Its time the Jews stand up to them and assert the right of self determination.Israel was there,is there and will grow bigger and bigger...
22. Middle East piss process.
hld ,   arabia states of ame   (11.18.09)
international law dose not apply in our jewish state jerusalem or any were in in eretz yisrael
23. How come the EU doesn't complain when Palestinian leadership
STFU EU! ,   usa   (11.18.09)
will unilaterlly declare a de facto state by co-opting borders without a peace agreement? Is that "legal?"
24. Although I agree . . .
vered ,   israel   (11.18.09)
maybe if all these countries had been so vehemently against Iran badmouthing Israel and building towards a nuclear bomb the way they are about this housing issue, there might not be one.
25. So ashamed as European
Richard ,   Leipzig, Germany   (11.18.09)
I can't belive it, that this swedish person talks in the name of all europeans. Please, remeber that there are always many of us on your side in Europe.
26. fu** EU and the US ,they cant tell us what to do
(11.18.09)
who the hell do the think they are telling us what to do ? we are more powerfull than all of them combined ,and we are ready to kick thier butts , ALL OF THEM ....
27. 23. Israel unilateral declared its jewish state '48
lydia ,   Brisbane   (11.18.09)
So the Palestinian can do the same. Anything outside the unilaterally declared borders of the 'jewish state' does not belong to Israel and Oslo's "neither side should take unilateral steps affecting the status of the territories" cuts no sway since Israel continues it's illegal settlement expansion. If it goes to a vote they'll have the numbers!
28. 26 Yes we can who ever heard 6mil dictating to 2bils
lydia ,   Brisbane   (11.18.09)
Mate you are a US proxy, without the US backing Israel is nothing, пустяк, nada, zilch, zero.
29. Build on Israel
MorganRose11 ,   North Caolina, US   (11.18.09)
Build Israel Build! Here is one American that supports you fully! Prosper in "...a land flowing with milk and honey" Deuteronomy 6:3
30. Why?
eli ,   jerusalem   (11.18.09)
Why doesn't the EU blame the Arabs who build in the same neighborhood, only on the other side of one main road (Dov Josef) since years many, many new houses? ... "Such activities also prejudge the outcome of final status..." Don't they? And by the way, can anybody check their permissons to build?
