31. Peace at any cost?
J.Hansford ,   Australia   (01.09.11)
As Benjamin Franklin once said..... "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. " It's probably easy for me to say, but the Jews don't need to apologise to the world. Israel needn't bow to fools nor tyrants. Look not to the world to define you. Define yourselves, or be lost.
32. PAYBACK TIME
toronto ,   TORONTO CANADA   (01.09.11)
payback time for the Hadassah Hospital Massacre...the Massacre, at Latrun...the Massacre at Hebron..& all the numerous barbaric Arab slaughtering of Jews, since the days, of the 'Yishuv'... all squatters MUST repeat MUST be evicted... the quicker the better.... 'am yisroel chai'...
33. #24 our hopes are the same as yours
rebecca ,   Modiin   (01.09.11)
That we can be good neighbors living in peace.
34. #24 Moskowitz's permit took 26 years
Ilan ,   Ariel   (01.09.11)
The Shepard hotel was purchased in 1985. To wait 26 years to use your land isn't like "thieves in the night" and doesn't look to be an fast track procedure.
35. #27 forgot to mention Chosen People
frank ,   usa   (01.09.11)
Israel has the most successful and openly supported Native Title claim in the world. They get to be colonists and natives simultaneously. Strange then, that Iraq's similar indigenous native title claim to Kuwait was opposed by war same claim by native us,australian aborignes.the Assyrians the Argentianian Kolla the European Sami the Maori Taiwan's first nations Canadian first nations Amazon Natives,areall whether or not Israel's claim is legitimate is not important. But I do feel it would be reasonable not anti-semetic to ask why no other indigenous peoples on the planet are granted the same consideration as Jewish indigneous peoples
36. New construction
Joe Aminoff ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.09.11)
It's about time "Peace Now" took their heads out from under the sand and see who our real enemies are.
37. #35 We agree with you
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.11)
Add to your list the Kurds, the Copts, the Berbers and the Basque, all deprived of their homeland due to Imperialism and Colonialism. Hopefully, Israel will defeat her enemies and give hope to other indigenous people.
38. building permit from the municipality, occupation one?
observer   (01.09.11)
all world countries recognize the WB & Jerusalem as occupied. The occupier, under international law, is banned from moving its citizen to occupied zone. Even if Israel views it as Lebensraum (space to live in). They paid the money for purchasing, then it's their fault if they can't get their money back.
39. Jerusalem is Ours, Not Up for Debate
Salma ,   Palestine   (01.09.11)
Jerusalem is our capital to Yawm al-Qiyāmah "the Day of Resurrection". Jerusalem is Palestine and Palestine is Jerusalem.
40. to nr. 35.
sjoerd van der velde ,   hoorn-the netherland   (01.09.11)
we are all the chosen people ( all the 7 billion people) in/of this world and the whole wide world is our promised land. the world/planet earth belongs to all of us. we have all been born in this world and on earth period!
41. 1 million Jews from arab countries had all their property st
rachel ,   usa   (01.09.11)
stolen by "thieves in the night"I don't hear peace now saying anything about it? Why would the arabs have a voice and not the jewish refugees who were a lot more ......
42. The Shepherd Hotel belongs to the Husseini Family
Cynic #2   (01.09.11)
The Custodian of Absentees Property is the mickey mouse outfit that steals Palestinian land in the name of the law of the thieving establishment. Moskovitch 'bought' stolen property, he is an accomplice in the crime. See you at the Hague!!!! Soon. Never mind the Hague, it is useless, but justice will be served one way or another!
43. #6 He sure was not a muslim
(01.09.11)
44. #39 jews have always been the majority in Jerusalem !!!!!!!
rachel ,   usa   (01.09.11)
stop rewriting history ....
45. #44 what do you expect emigrants would go to? a village?
observer   (01.09.11)
and in the 19th centuries and before, the continuous presence of overwhelming minority of a few denotes how tolerable Palestinians were.
46. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.10.11)
Lost from your dissertation are the numerous native American tribes. Why is that? It's not anti-Semitic to ask about that, is it?
47. To 46 - good one!
(01.10.11)
A good kick under the belt!
48. #1 Jehudah Ben-Israel
Moragh   (03.08.11)
1000% correct in every world you write. I'm with you all the way!

08.03.2011   (03.08.11)
all he has to do now is 'don' the fluffy cap and he is the perfect clown. He should be working in a tent "phaffing around" like the clown he is. Have a BREAK Barak, have a KIT-KAT!
