Our enemy are angry from settlements because they think it will guarantee israel future.

Arabs will attack from Yesha & there will be a rebellion in Israel. We will get leftists, arabs & kapos. Don't even think of appeasing arabs!

What are you babbling about? Netanyahu issued his quid pro quo to the ersatz "Palestinian" so-called "leadership" before the United States Congress. I seem to recall twenty-nine standing ovations in the course of his speech -- including several that lasted for 20 minutes. I call that an enthusiastic approval of the position of the State of Israel by the United States. We know that Canada feels similarly. We know that Italy and Germany have each said that they will NOT support a United Nations attempt to create an artificial ersatz "Palestinian" state out of whole cloth (that's four of the G8 right there, ya'habibi, with more to come). Is that your idea of "all alone?" It isn't mine. Here's a news flash: Israel is not going to evacuate 500,000 Jewish pioneers from Judea and Samaria. Now -- you all know the terms and conditions, as these were very clearly established by Prime Minister Netanyahu in his speech. The ball is in your court. Although it's a sure bet that Abbas will not agree to the terms and conditions, so there will be nothing to negotiate. Take it as a given that Israel will then annex Judea and Samaria and then repatriate its Arab residents to Jordan, country of their citizenship. As salaam aleikum. Have a really nice life.

They forgot to calculate the size of the damage to Judean and Samarian Businesses! Their worth and the significant poercentage to the economy. Sectors of the economy were hit hard such as flowers, vegetbales etc. after the expulsion off Jewish land in Gaza. The people and those same sectors of economy have not recovered. How about the cost of of security and the successful terrorist attacks and Jewish olive groves burned uprooted? Shouldn't the Arabs pay for that? What about the HUGE cost of wars that will come soon after giving up Judea and Samaria (they are just as much a part of the land of Israel as the rest...for 4,000 years now)? They will cost 10 or 20 times that and in the end the rest of Israel will be occupied just as a large part of the Judea and Samaria are still by the Arab Jordanians who moved there during 1948-1967. Time to put that money to good use....as financial incentives to move them back their countries of origin. this is the ONLY JUST SOLUTION.

It is you who is constantly posting "rubbish which would shame the intelligence of a gorilla." Insults will get you nowhere, but how come the Ynet Censor is allowing you to post insults? What are you going by to say Yesha is necessary for Israel's survival? Which military strategist do you prefer? I did look at the map of Israel and hiked to touch the rocks from Galilee to the Negev. Galilee and the Negev are elef monim more important than Yesha is for Israel's survival, and I look at a hundred maps. Land, any land, can enhance as well as threaten security through stationing tanks and missiles on that land. Netanyahu is his forerunners were correct on insisting that Yesha be demilitarized after becoming PA. The majority of Israeli citizens are for peace and always will be, not for land grabbing. But if you really have to grab land, go take Warsaw in Poland. By the numbers of Jews in history, Warsaw has more of a Jewish heritage than Yesha. Heritage by history, do you get my drift?

There was no economic independence or Intl acceptance between 1949-1967, you dolt. There was a polarized force in the world called the Cold War and half the world was strongly on the side of the Soviet Union and against Israel, arming Israel's neighbors to the teeth! Israel was always at war and most of its money went to self-defense. Israel was mostly agrarian with some industry at the time. Israel's economic independence came in the early 1990s through the shift to high-technology and influx of intelligent Russian immigrants. How about we pay you and your ilk to vacate California so we can give it to the Mexicans? Who cares, right, because it's only a piece of land, it's only property. Well, unlike your situation, living in our ancestral homeland and reclaiming what was stolen from us in 1948, and there really isn't a price you can put on that.

Don't give the pals an inch, they'll take a mile. NEVER AGAIN MEANS THE LANDS OF ISRAEL!!!! DON'T INSULT THE GIVER OF THE LANDS...... KEEP ALL THE LAND AND I MEAN ALL. Look at Gaza and So. Lebanon.

but, I realize this post of yours is pure bullshit and from a probable pauper. Israel will continue to do as she does and as she decides. If you have any money, shouldn't you feed the poor? Israel's economy is going gang busters as is the PA. Try facts not bullshit, okay? An education is so easy to obtain, even in California, the state of the most Jews in America, even though bankrupted by what's his name.

...and neither are they really settlements. We own the land. God promised it to us. The only ones who believe that are yourselves.

We had proportional to the country size population and it was great. You are correct, the economy was agrarian then, and we were near independence in agriculture around 1965. The day was near when Israel could live without any agricultural import, without reliance on anyone for food. But some economic experts were saying "so what," let's build up our weapons production, maybe electronics? After the Yom Kippur war impetus led toward hi-tech. From this, population grew like crazy through the million Russian immigrants, Western immigrants also, and from other countries. But mostly, proportionally, population growth came from the huge families Haredim started to have. From this, deterioration went into high speed and is continuing till this day. In my opinion, it is high time to rescue the bombonyera. A two States solution in the region will bring benefits to all the parties. Giving back Yesha and ceasing the Apartheid will restore Israel to the status it enjoyed before October 1967. People will be dancing the Hora in the streets again.

What is the value of stolen Palestine? Homes, farms, buildings, holy sites, all stolen since 1947 -- we're in debt to the heavens!
