Tear the illegally built annex down.

3. Stand up for something!!!
Rachel ,   US   (11.17.11)
This is why Netanyahu is such a disappointment.
4. I can't understand how this is
Moragh   (11.17.11)
being allowed. Is it really true then that the Jews are terrified of the arabs? Do something like that on arab land and your throats would be cut. Come on Israel... time to get your finger out. Tear these walls down. Every inch of it should be ripped apart! To be perfectly honest, I can only shake my head. Have you no say in anything Bibi? Then why are you PM?
5. Here's what to do :
Moshe ,   Usa   (11.17.11)
Just expropriate the land & take the land & the building as costs of incurring the expropriation.
6. #4: The Israelis are NOT afraid of the Arabs
Israeli 2   (11.18.11)
They are afraid of the NON-arabs. (The anti semites outside of Israel in Europe and the Americas.)
7. Israel has given up on East Jerusalem
BadLeadership ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.18.11)
If Israel was serious about keeping the historiic parts of Jerusaelm it would have years ago under the Likud built massively for Jews there , The few pathetic Jewish enclaves there are meaningless. Neither the Labor or Likud ever were serious about keeping the historic parts of the city and the National Relgious were both silent and ineffecive over the years as well..another Jewish tragedy.
8. Bibi lost my Vote
Eli ,   Israel   (11.18.11)
Sorry but Bibi like Sharon are just all talk no action. It's time for a real Right Wing Jewish Bible fearing Government to take power. I will not vote for Bibi.
9. I am with you all the way Eli @ #8
Israeli 2   (11.18.11)
10. expanding East Jerusalem is legal according to you guys!
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (11.18.11)
You expand settlements, Muslims build a Mosque. Oh but now it's wrong oh well sorry but tough luck I can't hear your whining from the construction going on to expand your illegal settlements! Salam :)

Dunkin Donuts ,   USA   (11.18.11)
Tear down the illegally built settlements in East Jerusalem first.. And when are you leaving my country. Im planning a party AFTER your gone
12. #6 is right, Knesset handicap by Leftists which bow to UN EU
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (11.18.11)
Knesset is the One Government that constantly fearful of Quartet, Bibi will move one step on the chess, then handicap by restrictions by his own Knesset. See the world Dictator, like Iran, Syria, N Korea, (even China Panda), even is the Quartet refute them, they still go on ignoring and mocking. Israel cares too much about the ones who don't care about her. btw, where are the condamnation from Peace Now, or the Major Medias regarding PA "not been helpful in furthering Peace Talk by this act"? after so much yaking followed Bibi un-freezing settlements announcements?
13. What's the big deal?
Mike ,   Miami, USA   (11.18.11)
It's just "natural growth".
14. Re #1 good idea - and while you're at it ...
John ,   Alaska   (11.18.11)
get rid of that eyesore Dome of the Rock. It doesn't belong there.
15. To #6 Israeli2 - don't be.
John ,   Alaska   (11.18.11)
The Torah makes it very, very clear that you are to fear Ha'Shem only. Europe, America, insert-god-here, none of these created you, gave you your land, fought for you and is sustaining you. Only Ha'Shem. Compared to Him, the nations are dust.
16. a state that will not protect itself cannot be saved.
rick ,   walnut creek   (11.18.11)
one might well ask: where are Israel's leaders? does Israel have leaders worthy of the title? are they asleep?
17. Any Courage Bibi???
Rachel ,   US   (11.18.11)
Bibi does not have courage to stand up for the Mt of Olives but we're supposed to believe he will stand up to Iran?
18. A real riot!
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (11.18.11)
Our Israeli government is simply scared of the Arabs. They know that if they start up with them they most likely will riot. this is like a situation comedy in which the Israeli government is a real riot. Damned if they do, damned because they don't!
19. wow - legal !
AARON ,   Tel Aviv   (11.18.11)
Israel have just confiscated 1500 dunums in the Jordan Valley ; is this legal ?
20. Tear it down !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.18.11)
21. Thank you Mayor Nir Barkat
musa ,   Jerusalem   (11.18.11)
22. #1 what's the big deal
Tambour ,   Eilat   (11.18.11)
What are you on Sarah B ? You really are deluded ; it should not have been allowed to get there in the first place, but anything short of Courts and careful approach will lead to bloodshed. Is that your brand of fighting from your pillow
23. State-owned land; at last Palestine is State
observer ,   Egypt   (11.18.11)
24. #6 well said, and sad!
gadi ,   idf   (11.18.11)
25. Usually the municipality waits until the structures ..
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.18.11)
are complete before tearing them down. Only then do they heavily fine the guilty parties for violating the law.
26. Apply the law equally or don't apply it. Cat deny jews
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.18.11)
construction but allow arabs. Thats bs. Get with the program.
27. #23 OBSERVER - Can't you read?
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.18.11)
"State of Israel" you fool! The only State of Palestine, will be in your State of dementia
28. 10- Lebanon's Shame
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.18.11)
Check your Quran, see where it even mention's Jerusalem, much less an East Jerusalem There is only ONE Jerusalem, the Jewish Jerusalem, all others are fictions of the imagination As a point of information, maybe you can do what no other, to-date, has been able to do, find a single mention of Palestine or Jerusaelm in your Quran While you're at it, since your claim that you are Lebanon's Pride, why are you hiding in Canada?
29. #19 AARON
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.18.11)
There are several legalities involved 1) Who held the deeds/titles to the land, were they registered with the proper authoriites, Ottoman Turk, British or Israel Just because someone or other sat on it for years, doesn't mean that they owned it There is a question of Imminent Domain, which allow the confiscation of land, in most countries, for the good of the whole (people) There is quite a bit of coverage on the subject, Google some for yourself "Imminent Domain financial definition of Imminent Domain. Imminent ... financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Imminent+DomainCached You +1'd this publicly. Undo The power of government to take land for the public good with the payment of just compensation.See condemnation. Eminent Domain. The right of a government"
30. #28 Check the Torah, see where it even mentions Jerusalem
