31. Yeah, throw the victims a bone.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (03.13.11)
Anything to shut everyone up, let them built a few extra rooms & then when the outrage subsides, back to the same-old. I have two words for Mr Netanyahu & his side-kick Ehud Barak. You all know which two words I mean.
32. # 27
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.13.11)
You dont living in Israel, do us all a big favour, leave, take your hatred & go. Your post will not stay her for long .I hope. Lech kfar.
33. TRIPLE the size of Itamar.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.13.11)
34. NR11 RICARDO MACHER
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (03.13.11)
This is a time of many tests of our Emunah. With a corrupt government, a very anti Jewish court system and a media that hates us even more; it seems that, we are really the bad guys. But Ricardo you have to hold on my friend, all these people who think that they control the outcome of these events and can create a world of their own making, devoid of the divine, will surly be mistaken. This is a time before Purim, to remind us the masquerade we all live in, it is just that, a mask to hide the real intention, of what we are here for in the first place. As is common in our history, the bloodshed will not stop at the green line, as so many of these Hellenists among us believe. They have forgotten, that we always end up as one with the same destiny. While these same people scream “never again”, they already have forgotten that left, right, religious and nonreligious all shared the same gas chambers in Auschwitz and other locations. Their concept of peace is so warped that they are willing to accept any humiliation in order to appease evil among us, whose intent of murder and destruction is bluntly advertised every day.
35. What are Israel's Critical Security Needs? (Video) !!

36. PA should immediately declare Oslo null and void
Nour ,   Palestine   (03.13.11)
The "agreement" was rendered meaningless 300,000 times. While the PA was supposed to be an interim entity lasting 4 years, it was reduced to being the 500,000 illegal settlers' shoe-shiners and security buttler on behalf of the occupation. The number of settlers has doubled over the years, and especially since the Oslo charade was signed. This goes to prove that there's no correlation between Zionism's intentions and resistance operations. Zionism, from day one, has the fundamental objective of displacing the Arab population and replacing it with "Jewish" immigrants be it from mainly European nations. Oslo is a totally rejected scheme. All of Palestine from river to sea is Arab Palestinian territory, therefore to my Palestinian brethern: Keep building in the so-called "Area C", keep building in Led, Galilee, and Naqab deserts. The "Israelis" are their own worst enemy. We send them thanks.

zionist forever   (03.13.11)
No government has ever wanted to annex Judea & Samaria because it will means we annex the population. We annexed the Golan because the only people who came with it were druze. We annexed it in the 80s and today there are only around 30,000 Druze many have been granted citizenship and are more loyal to the state than many of the arabs born here. We don't want the arabs so it suits us to let the PA run things day-day and we annex individual settlements. We should not get emotional over this and cause us to make a mistake we will regret later. Building 500 new homes in existing settlement blocks is smart it lets the arabs know they can't chase out the jews by murdering children but at the same time its in the major settlement blocks so you don't get political pressure to pull them all down. There are still thousands of jews from Gush Katif who still don't have permament homes why not invite them to come live in these new homes? Its harder for Netanyahu to stand up to Obama than it is for Abbas because Israel gets alot from the US like military aid, their UN veto and general political support. Abbas the world loves the palestinians unconditionally. Look at how Abbas has been refusing to talk for two years now whilst Bibi has been making outreach gestures like the freeze and calling for talks but Abbas says no unless we agree to a whole host of pre conditions. The world still refuses to call him an obstacle to talks instead they all start recognizing an arab state that doesn't exist and blame the failures on Bibi and Bibi alone. Abbas has the sympathy to do what the hell he likes but Israel won't get this US support without paying a political price.
38. not enough construction
Daniel ,   Rimonim   (03.13.11)
So the PMO says that Israel will build more units in areas that will remain Israeli, I guess that they are still convinced that allowing Palestinians to have statehood next to Israel will bring peace unto us. The PMO should have been the ones to put the bodies into coffins, not ZAKA.
39. 'Measured Construction'
Nour ,   Palestine   (03.13.11)
" 'measured construction' will take place in areas that will remain under Israeli sovereignty in any case." Ah, so what was the point of "negotiations" then? Right, we toss the indigenous population a bone and hope they'll accept., and call the masquerade "negotiations" That's OSLO for you! 500,000 illegal settlers away, of course, plus stolen water and mineral resources.
40. Total Annexation Now!
Heather Czerniak ,   Mississauga, Canada   (03.13.11)
Take back the entire West Bank and Gaza and start building settlements like millions of lives depend on it, because millions of lives will. Diaspora Jews will certainly bear the brunt of backlash for the decision to build hundreds of settlements and those Diaspora Jews who flee to Israel soon will need housing once they arrive. Let some Arab country take the Palestinians. Israel is tired of babysitting them.
41. To: Chaim at No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.11)
The photographs are all over the Internet. Just google "Itamar massacre." I tried to post the link, but of course the YNet moderator did not publish my post.
42. The post at No. 11 is a fraud.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.11)
43. Bibi's usual weak response
RayS ,   New Hampshire, USA   (03.13.11)
Instead of a significant response, such as authorizing 5 NEW settlements , Bibi is going to authorize a handful of new units. SHAME . This is a cowardly move sure to bring a sneer to the faces of Israel's enemies. .Who can respect a strong country that acts as a sniveling serfdom. Bibi should resign.
44. #5 You've colonized an earthquake zone
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (03.13.11)
45. #24 The territories is Israel
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (03.13.11)
46. #36 You have no claim to this land
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.13.11)
When Arab armies attacked Israel in 1948, your family ran to Lebanon and eventually to Canada. Your family elected to leave. Over 160,000 Arab Israelis remained and they were never displaced. Gaza was the last concession and look where it got Israel. The world does not stand still while you sit on your tuffet bowing to spineless leaders who avoid permanent settlement while using terror as their mouthpiece. There is nothing illegal about Jews building homes in the West Bank and nothing stops the Palestinians from being their peaceful neighbors.
