1. Serve U.N. with legal proof Judea/Samaria are ours. Period.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.20.11)
There are truckloads of legal proof, supplied by many of the world's most respected international law experts, that Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel. Even Eugene Rostow, who drafted U.N. Resolution 242 admitted so. Despite MK Danny Ayalon's clear challenge to the P.A. to debate Judea/Samaria legal ownership; nobody in the entire P.A. has the courage to publicly challenge Ayalon. Judea and Samaria belong to Israel. Period. Let's stop playing games. Serve the U.N. with absolute proof and annex Judea and Samaria. Provide the proof also to the world media, governments and NGOs.
2. There is NO such thing as "west bank" only Judea & Samaria!
Period!   (12.20.11)
3. 'Democracy' is neither 'Selective' or 'Racist '!
Roland Seener ,   London England   (12.20.11)
Israel caters for ALL its citizens.If you are a peaceful type and doesn't cause trouble to your neighbour you are welcome.If you decide otherwise,'keep away' !Israel is a country that wants to love its neighbours,but anybody permeated with hate needs jail accomodation.I would imagine that the Europeans prefer not to build houses in an organised manner,but would prefer to 'Ghettoise'people 'and not allow for integration into a society similar to their own which stresses 'multi-culturalism.
4. Condemnation be damned
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.20.11)
For starters, there is absolutely no proof that Jews are responsible for the so-called "price tag" acts and, in fact, a considerable amount of proof that Jews are, in fact, not responsible. Everything seems to point that these acts are nothing more than ersatz "Palestinian" incitement. Secondly -- Israel will build will Israel chooses to build. We do not tell the Europeans where they can and cannot build; what right have they to tell us where we can build? The Jews are no longer the meek people that the Europeans have grown accustomed to over the past two millennia. We are strong, we are powerful and while we realize that they are green with jealousy in the face of their cowardice and declining power -- especially as concerns the ever-increasing violent and vociferous Moslem and Arab minorities in their lands -- that is something that they will have to learn with which how to deal. We're not filing passively into gas chambers -- or their present-day equivalent -- ever again. The Europeans need to learn how to deal with that. If they cannot bring themselves to do that, then they need to learn how to SHUT UP. We no longer take orders from them. Period. Full stop.
5. AntiSemite countries Colluding
Brod ,   USA   (12.20.11)
EU AntiSemite countries are colluding with Arab Islamist-Jihadist usurpers and occupiers in barking at Israel. It is time they know that Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel belongs to Israel since ancient time. Israel can build anywhere in the Land of Israel. The name 'west bank'' is a concoction of AntiSemitism and Islamist-Jihadism. It is time they watch Pat Condell's Youtube commentaries entitled, "The great Palestinian lie" and "Useful Idiots for Palestine."
6. FU - UN
(12.20.11)
7. MY MESSAGE TO THE U.N
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.20.11)
You can look up my tuchis to see if my kippa is on straight. Take a hike.
8. I suggest the UN officials read the Charter of the UN;
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.20.11)
specifically Article 80. This will lead them to decisions of the League of Nations of 1922, and to the San Remo Conference of 1920. In all these documents, which are part of international law, they will notice that the entire region of "Palestine", from the River to the Sea, is designated to be the national home of the Jewish people with unlimited amount of Jewish settlement in it. Incidentally, the rest of "Palestine", 77% of the territory, had been handed over to the Arabs as early as 1921. They, subsequently, changed its name to Jordan, while the 23% designated for the Jews was renamed Israel.
9. NOTICE... THE UN NEVER ONCE CONDEMNED THE GRADS AND QASSAMS.
stude ham   (12.20.11)
BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES. BUILD ISRAEL BUILD!
10. Who does the UN condemn?
(12.20.11)
Israel government building houses for people to live in, many Arab governments shooting civilians dead. Yet who does the UN condemn? Yes youv'e guessed it. Until Arab regimes concentrate on peacemaking and housebuilding UN condemnation is meaningless and worthless.
11. TO CHAIM # 1
FO ,   Belgium   (12.20.11)
You are absolutely right Chaim, but don't forget that the Israeli Supreme Court considers Jewish Settlements in the so called "Occupied Terrritories" as breaching International Law, in spite of all conclusions by International Law Experts, including Prof. Eugene Rostow, author of UN Resolution 242. Do you expect countries like the UK, Germany, France to be more Catholic than the Pope when the Israeli Court pretends the contrary ? A complete crazy situation isn't it ? Didn't you know, Chaim, that Surrealism was an Israeli invention ?
12. Hypocrisy
Pedro ,   Brazil   (12.20.11)
Last week I read in a Brazilian site about defense (defesanet.com.br) that the U.S. Government sent to the Brazilian Government many messages alerting the Brazil about the presence of Islamic extremists of Hamas in the triple border (Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay), and that these terrorists act raising money through drug trafficking and smuggling. The Brazilian Government however not answered the U.S. alerts because, according to the article, the government does not want to attract the attention of terrorists who, so far, no committed terrorist acts in the country.
13. #7 SORRY . MY SPELLING ERROR
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.20.11)
Should read Tuchus. The israeli government must continue to build and to hell with our critics.
14. Every time someone condemns...
Vlad   (12.20.11)
Issue 1,000 more building permits in Jerusalem.
15. Syrians are KILLED daily while UN does NOTHING to stop it.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.20.11)
The UN is a worthless bull shit collection of do nothing moaner groaner complainers.
16. I agree with #1. This must be done immediately.
Israeli 2   (12.20.11)
17. they have nerve
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (12.20.11)
Germany, after what it did to us, and England, that helped the Arabs to start a war with us. I thought that Chutzpah was a Jewish trait, but these countries have it strong. They should look in the mirror before criticizing.
18. Construction in Judea and Samaria
i love Israel ,   Germany   (12.20.11)
Built 1000 units for UK Jews,1000 units for French Jews,1000 units for German Jews and 1000 units for Portugese Jews,because soon you will need more.,,,,not all Germans agrree with their Governement!!!!!
19. WEST BANK AND THE PRESENT ''ISRAELI'' LEADERS-SHIP.
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MULTIVERSE   (12.20.11)
THE CONDEMNATION MENTIONED IN THAT NEWSPAPER-MESSAGE WAS THE FULLEST RIGHT TO BE MADE. THE PRICE TAG METHOD IS A FORM OF CRIME COMMITTED BY THE ''ISRAELI'' UNDERWORLD/MAFFIA. SO THE PRESENT ''ISRAELI'' LEADERS-SHIP HAS TO DO A DUTY. ALSO TRYING TO SETTLE PEACE WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. IF NEEDED ALSO A CONSULT/ADVISE OF THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION CAN BE ASKED, AN OCCASSION TO USE THE ''ISRAELI'' MEMBERSHIP OF THE UNO.
20. Condemn the UN
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (12.20.11)
The UN should be condemned as a worthless organization that has become a mouthpiece for countries who have no idea what human rights are --or any concept of right or wrong in any way manner or form Who really gives what the UN says. Frankly, I would be scared if they approved something Israel did. ( it would mean Israel did something against its' own self-interest)
21. WATER OFF A DUCKS' BACK
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.20.11)
Ignore the UN and the rest of the barking dogs.
22. Listen to the UN
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.20.11)
Dont' build in England, Germany, France or Portugal, the are beyond the Green Line that the Arabs ignored whenever they wanted to
23. UN can go fly a kite
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.20.11)
The UNGA does NOT have the authority to create binding law by a simple vote. It is not a global legislature, just as the UN is not a world government. Its resolutions are symbolic. Never mind the fact that the UN charter never gives the General Assembly such authority. Just think about it: Does anybody believe that in creating the UN, sovereign states like the U.S. and the Soviet Union handed over their own sovereign authority to a body in which tyrannical regimes and democratic ones, friends and allies, get an equal vote? That if, one day, the General Assembly decides to grant independence to Quebec, or Minnesota, or the Confederacy, that suddenly it will be binding on all member states, including Canada and the U.S.?
24. Slathering
Sean ,   london, uk   (12.20.11)
""innocent people are being slathered in Syria" What are they being slathered in? Or did you mean 'slaughtered'?
25. FUCK THE EU
Israeli   (12.20.11)
26. A coalition of the Bankrupt Nations only condemns Israel
Alan ,   SA   (12.20.11)
27. Keep building up our state. Judea and Samaria
USA   (12.21.11)
Europe is irrelevant. If Ron Paul doesn't become a president. Soon enough an American president will defund the UN out if existence.
28. Britain, France, Germany&Portugal: You WILL pay the price !
who cares   (12.21.11)
The price for fighting Israel is very high : only when its too late you will regret what you did ! I wont cry for you for you didnt care for Israel !
29. Impotent, hypocritical UN
Eddie ,   London UK   (12.20.11)
These EU members of UN are daily condemning each other. Portugal is amongst the PIGS. France attacks UK , and Germany cannot afford to buy Italy's debts. These great colonial countries are in no position to determine Israel's borders.
30. and then what?
Gennady ,   NY, US   (12.21.11)
do you want to be outnumbered by Palestinians and be democratic? Or who do you think will be responsible for population living on 10% of what an average Israeli lives on?
