31. What absolute rubbish!
Harry ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.15.10)
Who IS this person??
32. Tell me, Megged, how does one say "baksheesh" in Hebrew?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (04.15.10)
Megged forgets that baksheesh is an Arabic word, and for good reason. Corruption is the rule, not the exception. Perhaps Megged can address the billions in aid money unaccounted in the PA's records. Wherever there is money and government involvement, there is corruption, and the more money at stake the more money. I recall the reaction by a high Saudi official when confronted with $50 Billion missing through corruption. His reaction was a big "So what!". Billions are lost through Medicare fraud in Florida alone. And there's already a stench coming from the US' $800 Billion "stimulus" program. Megged needs to get out more.
33. and the french ruining paris!!

34. #23 Salma. Neverland will be your capital sooner.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.16.10)
#23 Salma. I suppose being a "Palestinian" means being an eternal poseur and having no contact with reality. Please keep it up a few more years. That will give us the chance to have more than 1,000,000 Jews in Judea and Samaria and this discussion will be over forever. Neverland will be your capital long before Jerusalem.
35. Israel will slowly be forgotten...
Edithann ,   USA   (04.16.10)
This outrageous building is the last hurrah for contractors in Jerusalem... Israel has no future, especially for ambitious Jews who want to make millions from American aid. Money is drying up...and there is so much world condemnation over Jerusalem and the Palestinians....it will take another 100 years for Jews to have any friends...Israel will be relegated to a forgotten 'nothing' as was Palestine before the Israeli theft! TATA
36. Interesting logic. Give it ot Arabs to end corruption.
leo ,   usa   (04.16.10)

sean ,   new york   (04.16.10)
It ofends you simple dont read it
38. AMAZING !!!.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (04.16.10)
THE ARABS DID ONCE HOLD JERUSALEM AND THE WESTBANK. WHAT DID THEY DO TO ALL JEWISH HERITAGE THEN ???. AMAZING WHAT KIND OF OPINIONS SOME JEWS HAVE, WITH THIS PRINCIPLE YOU HAVE TO GIVE ALL OF ISRAEL TO THE ARABS. I THINK THIS MAN MUST EITHER BE AN IGNORANT CHILD IN MATURITY, OR A COMPLETE IDIOT, OR BOTH. AMAZING !!!. Arn.

Yerach ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (04.16.10)
You Anti-Semite you don't see the writing on the wall with the financial breakdown in the US which is built on stolen Native American & Mexican land. When the US is divided into 50 different states much like the now defunct Soviet Union Israel will be here & be here forever. Hussein Obama isn't making it any better either. We are in great financial shape here can you say the same? Before you talk about us supposedly "stealing land" you rabid Jew-hater you may first want to give your home & lands back to the native Americans & Mexicans!!!
40. Yes, because we all know how beautiful Arab sections are
Yonatan ,   Los Angeles   (04.16.10)
41. At least something good came out of it.
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (04.16.10)
The left press stoped attaking Bibi and Liberman. Our media held 2 weeks festival around Bibi"s cleaning lady, they even called him to resign. It high time to investigate the corruption of our press!!!
42. What about E. Arbel (from Supreme Court)
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (04.16.10)
At the beginning of nineties she ordered to close the investigation of Hollyland affair. By the way, she owes the apartment in Hollyland complex.
43. Blatant discrimination and antisemitism
Yoni ,   Tel Aviv   (04.16.10)
clearly antisemitic as if somehow being jewish is the source of corruption and if you are born an arab than you wont have this satanic trait. kind of hitler style propaganda how jews are naturally corrupt and evil. Megged go to hell
44. funny
jack ,   israel   (04.16.10)
it seems that the arabs don't have enough land and cruption that we should give them all the lefwing socalled jews as well
45. Living proof.
Brad ,   USA   (04.16.10)
Eyal Megged is living proof that the price of freedom is the defense of idiots. We have the same type of scum in the U.S., and they are one of the prime movers in it's ongoing destruction.
46. :Dr Yeruham" votes internal pogrom for Israel...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.16.10)
...I predicted some years ago it would come to this. For many ears I have maintained, correctly it is self-evident now, that Israelis would eventually tear themselves apart of the illegal colonies. As I have long written, Israel's only existential threat is the occupations. They have now turned Jew against Jew, even interfering in religious rites as in Richard Goldstone's case. It is truly pitiful and it was entirely avoidable. But you folks decided that the Sarah B.'s would be in charge if Israeli policies, and now you shall reap what you have sowed.
47. Yerach, caught lying again, and blustering...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.16.10)
...Edith is correct. And people like you have helped it along. We are the United States, 305 million strong. Huge economy, leader of the free world, and you are our tiny recalcitrant Client State. You have been caught lying about American Indians before, I know because I keep records of the last time I informed you about reality. Your chants about imaginary "Jew haters" are just so much Crying Wolf. People are sick of it. There are plenty of REAL oppressed people in the world, including those that the Israelis are currently oppressing, neither Jews as a whole nor Israelis are oppressed in the slightest. American Indians did not have the Hague Treaty or the Geneva Conventions, the Palestinians do. Sorry about your luck. Israel, only being in existence since 1948, missed out on the hey day of empire building, so you will get back behind your borders or continue to suffer world condemnation and soon sanctions and worse.
48. to 44

not funny but not holy ....sad

learn from history. israel withdraws from lebanon and you get hezbollah rockets and border abductions and death. Israel withdraws from gaza unilaterally and gets 8000 rockets. Idf withdraws from west bank courtesy from rabini and peres and we get sucide bombings with gross losses of limbs, brain injuries and deaths. Yaalon reversed it. That's good enough for me. Arabs have to recognize israel as a jewish state. Otherwise forget about it. And Jordan which is 80% of mandate has to be discussed as some of it belongs to israel. And the 800,000 jews kicked out of arab lands have to be compensated. Hillary , erdogan, obama and emanuel can go to bloody hell and stick their theories to the arabs. obama is basically of sudanese blood and so follows allah akbar.Erdogan especially can jump in the marmora as his management degree was a flop.
50. Empty rhetoric
P ,   Philadelphia   (04.17.10)
Corruption is part of human nature, and is present in some form in every society. Self-improvement doesn't come from this kind of whining, it comes from effort to improve oneself.
51. Jews ruining Jerusalem
Eli Minoff ,   Safed Israel   (04.17.10)
The corruption in Jerusalem is only the tip of the iceberg. The entire country is corrupt !!!! It's about time we admitted this.
52. # 35
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.17.10)
Ah now you are into Israeli finance are you? Money is drying up in the great USA and not in Israel.In fact Israel is doing ecceptionally well economically.Your great superb giant of a country doesnt & never had corruption?? HA are you living under a rock? open your eyes. It really bites you that your tax dollars are used for aid to Israel. Instead of shreiking here why dont you go to your congressman & cry on his shoulder. Madam, ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY whether you like it or not.
53. what a solution!!!!
tejas   (04.17.10)
OK, there may be a problem. But solution is completely stupid. And what is wrong in demolishing slums and making city more beautiful.
54. Jerusalem should be flattened and rebuilt
Golan ,   modiin   (04.17.10)
the old buildings and streets in Jerusalem are ugly, congested, expensive, and worthless. New construction is only helping. I hope it continues.
55. Finally the truth wake up world to what is happening here
Avi ,   Israel   (04.17.10)
56. imho: EGGHEAD IS PART OF THE 5TH COLUMN
JEWBIE ,   NYC USA   (04.17.10)
THIS IS THE ROTTEN APPLE IN THE BARREL... by placing a rotten apple in a barrel it makes others rot, not that all good apples will make one rotten one better. keep this myopic fairy tale writer in perspective...he's a rotten apple.
57. jerusalem
shlomo cohen ,   katamon jerusalem   (04.17.10)
to #13 ...you and megged both IDIOTS.i came to the CITY in 1964 when the arabs were shooting at us kids picking up pine nuts.change is good.stupidity is bad.
58. Salma
nadine neiger ,   herzliya - Israel   (04.17.10)
Jerusalem never belonged to Arabs and will never be yours, just forget about it. There is no capital in the world which belongs to two nations. Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the coran . As for Meged- he is right : just give Jerusalem to Arabs, so it will be reduced to slums again . Corruption? is not a word known to Arabs: they just transfer all the money they receive from all the people in the world into their pocket (Arafat and Cie - Hamas and Cie, ands...)
59. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   arg   (04.18.10)
i know thy works behold i have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and hast not denied my name behold i will make them of the sin-agogue of satan which say they are jews and are not but do lie behold i will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that i have loved thee because thou hast kept the word of my patience i also will keep thee from the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth behold i come quickly hold that fast which thou hast that no man take thy crown him that overcometh will i make a pillar in the temple of my elokim and he shall go no more out and i will write upon him the name of my elokim and the name of the city of my elokim which is new JESUSALEN which come down out of heaven from my elokim and i will write upon him my new name,revelation 3
60. Arab towns a mess
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (04.18.10)
Have you ever been to an Arab city? Dirty, no trash pick up, unpaved streets, sewage flowing in the streets, no parks or playgrounds. Taibe was broke and the state had to appoint a mayor to staighten out the mess.
