1. COMMON SENSE IS DEAD. COCKS SHOULDNT CROW IN WRONG TIME !
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU ,   DAY 3 TO THE FREEDOM   (03.18.10)
THERE IS A SAYING IN MY LAND ! "COCK WHO CROW EARLY ! COCK WHO LOSE ITS HEAD." ANOTHER SAYING ! " TO DEVORCE IS SO EASY FOR A SINGLE "
2. What an absurd situation !!!
Shira   (03.18.10)
Say, I want to buy a house in Israel...who do I need to get permission from? The European union? Obama and his staff? The Hammas..? Unbeleivable what the Jews have to go through in their own country!!! THEIR OWN COUNTRY for crying out loud !!!
3. I'm just flabbergasted
Michael ,   San Francisco   (03.18.10)
that Barack Obama (who I voted for, btw) thinks that he has the right to tell Jewish people where they may, or may not, live in the ancient capital of the Jewish people. I just cannot believe this. Well, he lost my vote, that's for sure.
4. Natanyahu, I will support you, just don't cave to Obama the
Eyal ,   USA   (03.19.10)
Monster.
5. Yes, Jerusalem is ours forever!
Gavriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (03.19.10)
Israel should not bow its knees before the US and the EU. It's time to speak clearly: JERUSALEM is and will be the capital city of Israel only. Jerusalem is not a settlement, and it is the capital city of all the Jewish people, not only of Israel. So keep building wherever you want in the city!
6. #2 Shira. Israeli appeasement leads to absurd demands.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.19.10)
#2 Shira. You are absolutely correct. It is utterly absurd that Obama thinks he has the right to tell Jews not to buy homes in Jerusalem. Many Americans feel the same way. Check out Rush Limbaugh's website on this matter. Limbaugh has about 22 million daily listeners. How did we get to this absurd situation? Israeli appeasement. The more you appease a bully, the more the bully demands. Bibi foolishly chose to appease Obama with the clearly racist Judea/Samaria settlement freeze. Obama decided to push his bullying further. The answer is simple. End the sick policy of Israeli concessions and appeasement forever.
7. there has to be a way
michael ,   london, canada   (03.19.10)
Israel has this big fat monkey on its back in the form of financial dependence on the US. There has to be a way to make this time the end of that dependency. We can talk all we want about how Bibi should be stnading up to the nations, but there is always that whole money thing. Kill the addictive dependence on US financial aid, walk away from lukewarm US Jewish organizations who talk a big talk but walk a remarkably staggered walk with regards to their support for "Israel". Jews who know are rightly making the choice for aliyah. If you are calling yourself a Jew and yet being an "armchair quaterback" regarding Ha'aretz, what weight does your opinion possibly matter? Who cares what you think? To hot and cold groups like "J-Street", you serve no one's interests with double-speak about support for Israel. If your aren't supporting Israel then you are on their side, and in any other situation it would put you ijn a very dangerous place. Appeasement, which goes hand in hand with liberal politics has demonstrated how remarkably un-successful it has been. It really is time for a paradigm change. Apparently some members of Kadima were rumbling last week that the current situation (ie, the "announcement") indicated the need to get Kadima members back in the cabinet. On the contrary, I would suggest it is time to get the moderates off the cabinet. How about Manhigut Yehudit,, how about Yahdut Hatorah, how about Shas???? Now there is a coalition that would be interesting. Secular Israeli government has brought things to this point, I don't quite see how a "Torah" based government could be any more perilous than what Israel has now! Time to send the monkey packing!!!!!!
8. Who cares about what the intl community thinks
Zionist ,   USA   (03.19.10)
Who cares about what the international community thinks. All that matters is what Hashem thinks. G-d gave all of the Land of Israel to the Jewish people and only the Jewish people. We will build in all of the Land of Israel including all of Jerusalem (western, eastern, northern and southern sections).
9. #2
daz ,   eu   (03.19.10)
You'll have to ask permission from the Palestinians to buy a house in East Jerusalem when it becomes their capital inshallah
10. Jerusalem
Charles Kosarek ,   St.Louis Mo USA   (03.19.10)
Don't give in to Obama.
11. ridiculous
ed ,   tel aviv   (03.19.10)
a muslim boy wll tell us what to do?
12. #9 - Allah doesn't seem to be helping them
William ,   Israel   (03.19.10)
For decades the Arabs tried to destroy Israel and ethnically cleanse Jews from the region, claiming they have the support of Allah. Well, Allah doesn't seem to be at home these days, or maybe he's really Jewish. Either way - inshallah - the Arabs will not only never get Jerusalem as their capital, but the Jews will unify it, provide the right infrastructure there, and let Jews pray again on the Temple Mount. Inshallah - the Arabs will never steal another holy site or city from their owners again.
13. never mind
mike ,   la, usa   (03.19.10)
if jews belong in israel becuase of g-d then see what he says about the borders and areas it covers if not, just get out of there and leave. i am sure obama will give all the jews visas
14. #9 - in your dreams, big dreams
Eyal ,   USA   (03.19.10)
15. To #9
See all   (03.19.10)
Today Jerusalem, tommorow Beer-Sheva, next day is Petah-Tikva and so on. Everything is yours, right? Jerusalem is just an excuse for the aggressive, violent arabs to blow off some steam !!!
16. Jerusalem, the Arabs and the Jews.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (03.19.10)
"Palestinian" irredentists claim that eastern Jerusalem is historically Arab territory and should be the capital of a future "Palestinian" state. In reality, Jews always lived in eastern Jerusalem — it is the location of the Old City and its famous Jewish Quarter. Only from 1948 to 1967 — during the Jordanian occupation — was the eastern part of Israel's capital "Arab territory." "Palestinians" have no more claim to sovereignty there than Russia does in formerly occupied eastern Berlin. As to Jerusalem : http://xrl.us/be488z

hacivatoglu   (03.19.10)
IF THE PRAYER OF A D.. WOULD BE ACCEPTED, BOUNS WOULD FALL AS RAIN. THIS IS A SAYING AS WELL.
18. Build more settlements! No more land for peace!
Danny M ,   Vancouver, Canada   (03.19.10)
Israel doesn't need a nanny. Israel is older than 1948. The condescending western leaders should worry about the recessions they have in their own countries instead of a few apartment buildings in East Jerusalem. All of Jerusalem belongs to Israel and no one else.
