61. Jerusalem is the key to peace.
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.10.11)
deal with it. Palestinians will never accept a Palestinian state without Jerusalem as its capital , and will never give up the right of return. And please stop lying& stop the hypocrisy. most "Israelis" do not care about East Jerusalem ,they don't even know anything about its neighborhoods .
62. A Total waste of money
Haim ,   TA   (08.10.11)
In stead of building appartments in the occupied terrotries and east Jerusalem the right -wing goverment has ignored the majority of Israelis in the center and now they wonder why there are protests. This goverment is a total failure, then this is what you get from the fascist right wing , with the likes of the terrible trio of BB, Yishai and Liberman that russina thug.
63. 19/29 DC was a Swamp/Cleansing Won't be Peaceful
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (08.10.11)
19-Who do you thinks wants a malaria infested swamp? That is what DC was before it was built by slave labor. 29-I don't endorse expulsions. But more than 50% of the posters here think expelling Palestinians is in the plan. Just read them for a few days. When you start, it is not likely to be accepted. And movement is not likely to be voluntary or peaceful. Netanyahu says that is not the plan. But to many of you he is a left wing traitor. The US has no role. Israel's government has made that abundantly clear. We will actually insist on nothing from either side since both just want a US endorsement, not any form of mediation.
64. #21 what's the point
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.10.11)
Since 1970 the US maintains a mutually beneficial strategic friendship with Israel, but what is the connection to Obama? Obama has made his hatred and contempt for Israel and the Jews very clear, why should we respect him? More importantly, Obama supporters including his wife have admitted they hated the US.
65. #50
(08.10.11)
The Koran says Jewish property. End of discussion.
66. ANNEX Judea + Samaria...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.10.11)
67. #65 excavation in Jerusalem finds another Koran?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.10.11)
you are desperately through with the Torah and starting the dig in Koran?
68. then, why approving Lebensraum in someone's else land?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.10.11)
69. "The World" is Just Words. These are Evil Statements
FactsRule ,   Las Vegas USA   (08.10.11)
These meaningless, evil, misplaced one-sided statements are unhelpful. Atrocities are committed daily by the so-called Palesinians, who have no legal right to an inch of land West of the Jordan River, & not a peep is heard from Obomber or the UK govt. Just like thousands are murdered in Syria & millions in Somalia by Al Shabab Muslims without a meaningful response. Israel should not only ignore this unfair characterization but should do what she should have 44 years ago, exercise her international legal right to repatriate those on Israel's side of the borders with Jordan & Egypt.
70. ALL of Jerusalem was ANNEXED over 40 years ago....its legal
naftules ,   jerusalem   (08.10.11)
Israel annexed jerusalem legally ... har homa is on Israeli land and belongs to the israeli government and the israeli people. It is NOT in limbo like judea and samaria, whic are not annexed. It is Israeli for a LONG time ... get over it
71. Cant Us consern about the poor in Africa instead
rune f ,   Oslo Norway   (08.10.11)
Cant us consern about Africas poor people instead?Because the west bank is the land of Israel and a land that God gave to the jews so Us you dont have to worry
72. @ 5: annexation
Harmen ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (08.10.11)
Dear Rogerlen, yes, Israel can annex these territories, that is not the question. The real question is, will other countries recognize this annexation? The answer is simple: no. And such a refusal to recognize an annexation can easily last for an infinite period of time. Worse for Israel, it will strengthen the hand of those who argue for a boycott of Israel. It will also strengthen the hand of those who argue that Israel is the aggressor here, the colonial power. So an annexation may feel great, but in the long run it will isolate Israel as never before. My bet is thatt you would lose most of the remaining support in Europe, and even some moderate support in the USA. And that, if you ask me, is a very dangerous position for Israel to be in. I would not want to go there, but ... it is up to israelis to choose here. I just hope you choose wisely.
73. Naturalment, Mes Amis
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (08.10.11)
Since Barack Hussein Zerobama has buggered up his shot at being the Preswident of the USA, and ruined the economy of a vast and vibrant chunk of the world, it is natural that he seek to become the ZONING COMMISIONER and LAND USE PLANNER for Israel, as well as screwing up any possible opportunity for any micro reconciliation with the PA, by prejudicing the outcome of talks with stupid and silly blather. Giveret Gump was right. "STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES".
74. a new housing project in the southeast Jerusalem
larry Butler ,   kibbutz Israel   (08.10.11)
Is this what need to be focused on now , with all the fighting in the arab world Syria murdering hundreds and the UN murdering Lybians . Yeman in flames and Egypt well . turned barbaric. even London burning by Islamics . the world on the eve of destruction and the US is worried by a new housing project in southeast Jerusalem "? wake up ,before its to late
75. It is Israel's land
Brod ,   USA   (08.10.11)
Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem belong to Israel since ancient time. They are GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to Israel. Israel LIBERATED them from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in 1967. Israel can build anywhere in the Land of Israel. The Arab Islamist-Jihadists have NO right usurping the Land of Israel from the Jewish Nation.
76. #12 OMG I can't believe you said that!
John ,   Alaska   (08.11.11)
The title of post #12 reads: "Thieving Jews will pay with expulsion, again" This is so anti-Semitic and so incindiary that I can't even think of a talkback, other than "you Jew-hating %$#@", which is neither an intelligent response nor, were the nonsense characters replaced by an appropriate word, postable here. You, sir, have earned the prize for "Foulest troll post of 5771". While you're waiting for your gold troll statue to arrive, don't forget to watch after your well, so the Jews won't poison it.
77. Re #20 LOL Devorah!
John ,   Alaska   (08.11.11)
Well, _somebody_ had to be "concerned". I'm wondering when Ban Ki Moon will weigh in with his usual anti-Israel pronouncement. But speaking as an American, one of several who love Am Yisrael, I'm telling them to BUILD, BABY, BUILD!
78. US Chides Israel
j. bergman ,   Brooklyn ny   (08.11.11)
US should concentrate on its economy. Chiding allies is the hall mark of President Obma failed diplomacy in addition to his failed economic policies.
79. Jerusalem
william ,   Canada   (08.11.11)
Jerusalem is Israels Manifest Destiny,also I think Bethlehem should become a World Heritage Site.//
