...broad daylight!! The fact that some refuse to accept the law of the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, and the rulings of its Supreme Court - Mr. B.H.Obama included, sadly!! - is not indicative that Jerusalem is not governed lawfully and that housing for Jews are not constructed properly. Indeed, talking about "thievery", some should question the illegal construction that takes place in various Arab neighborhoods of the city and beyond. But such people are only eager to express their anti-Jewish racism, thus the cry when Jews try to govern themselves legally.

Jerusalem is not up for discussion or for sale. Keep on building in our undivided holy city of Yerushaliem.

When events happen by the light of day and Peace Now says it's like "thieves in the night" - you know that Oppenheimer is grasping at empty air for some kind of stage. Ok, he got the stage, and got his strange quote printed. Oppenheimer again places full blame on Israel for the fact that the Palestinians are refusing to come to the negotiating table. Peace Now fails again. Instead of calling on the Palestinians for "peace now", they simply hit their favorite punching bag to make themselves feel good and grab a headline. Ok. Headline is there - simply scroll up to see it. Progress, on the otherhand, is nowhere to be found and Peace Now is another source of the problem.

What Arab "housing" on private Jewish land is ok?

so according to peace now we can evict Arabs living on land they bought from Jews?

They are recent illegal immigrants from Europe. The F.M Lieberman from Moldova, Even, Shimon Peres the president of israel is from Poland ………….. Strangers always come and go, only the indigenous people remain. Abram was born in/came from Babylonia to Canaan as an Immigrant.

Kol ha-kavod to them. If peace now has problems with more Jewish housing being built in our capital then maybe they would like to subsidize my outrageously high monthly rent I have to pay to live in this city?

Jerusalem was annexed according to international law following the Six Day War in 1967. Every single resident of the city, Jewish and Arab are full Israeli citizens. Any units that Jews reside in mostly Arab neighborhoods, were purchased for their full value from whoever owned the land previously. It is called a free-market economy, a staple of most democracies. The only thieves are those trying to steal the narrative.

Why does somebody believe that what Oppenheimer thinks is important and/or interesting to somebody? 99% of the Israeli public know what Oppenheimer is and now they are worried because they will find themselves without funding. Why do we care about a person who ignores Supreme Courts decision when they are not the ones he likes? Stop giving him the opportunity to attack OUR country!!!

Not legal, all lawyers in town know that. It is worst than the Holyland issue & Olmert stort. That is why it is THIEVERY.

Everyone is allowed to express an opinion, but Mr. Oppenheimer receives a very high salary to express his. Why does Oppenheimer refuse to publish who pays his salary?

Sir, what is your indigenous language ? "Canaanic" ? Or maybe, by chance, Arabic ? If the latter is true, you are a stranger in Eretz Yisrael. Your homeland therefore is the Arab Peninsula.

Just get lost, you and the likes are trying to discredit and destroy israel. You will never suceed.

" like thieves in the night?" This has been public knowledge for years. Peace Now is pathetic. Jerusalem shall be redeemed!

Do not try to twist things around.Israel land was promised by the ALIMIGHTY to his nation BNEI ISRAIL.Jews from Europe are returning home from EXILE. Go home where you belong to Arabia the land of arab

he turned it down. But it's alright, because not a centimeter of it belongs to the Arabs.

"Peace Now: Extreme right taking over east Jerusalem like thieves in the night" How do you "take over" what belongs to you to begin with?

JUDEA & SAMARIA are JEWISH NAME it always been Jewish and will always be.How did you get the name Arab? Very simple because you arab came from the land of arabia.Go home and have fun

Where Palestinians once danced and celebrated the horrors of 9/11 all over East Jerusalem there needs to be a sane Jewish presence 200 units there needs to be 2000 and more !

I am Arab, Palestinian, Sqautter whatever, i lived 100 meters away from the sheperd hotel and have been waiting for the legal building permit on my land for 15 years now and still no clue, committees, fees, change this cahnge that, sorry what we asked does not work now so change again, I am trying to do it legally, and what did get me nowhere, my options are sell to Moskowitz, build illegaly or believe the system works equally for both sides. Soon we will have Isareli neighbours, i hope we will be model community and they are keen in being part of the neighbourhoud, till then and for next millinea i am there 100 meters away

When the Roman Emperor Hadrian created "Palestine" in the year 135 AD he also changed the name of Jerusalem to "Aelia Capitolina " after his family name and the pagan gods of Rome. All this in an attempt to insult the Jews who had dared revolt against Roman rule. So if the "Palestinians " want to be true to their "ancient heritage" they must call their new capitol after it's historic Palestinian name Aelia Capitolina

Gee, Abbas' refusal to negotiate until all construction stops is really working, no? Build, baby, build!

The Land of Israel belongs to Israel since Ancient time. It does not belong to Obama or any usurpers. Obama has NO say pertaining to the Land of Israel. In fact, Obama should stop being deceived and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers, and stop intruding in Israel's internal affairs. Has Obama ever intruded on the Islamist-Jihadist government of Sudan that murdered and raped millions of Africans in Darfur? Has Obama intruded in Pakistan's government whose Intelligence Agency is hiding Bin Laden and his cohorts? The answer is NO. Israel is a sovereign state and is not a colony of any power. Israel should not be bullied by the world of the AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists that are unrelenting in usurping the Land of Israel from the Jewish Nation..

Sadly, Jews receive exactly the same bureaucratic treatment under all governments (both Left and Zionist).

No wonder there is such an uproar not mentioned strangely enough was that the house belonded to the man who lived and worked in Berlin with Hitler and Eichman Haj Amin Al Husseini who helped plan the extermination of Europes and Palestine's Jews one of 3 palacial properties including the now Waldorf Hotel and headquarters of the Palestinian leadership in Jerusalem the famous Orient House strange they chose his house or is it ?!!!!!!!!!!
