1. settlements?
jeff ,   MIAMI/JERUSALEM   (02.02.12)
netanyahu is a disgrace, when did he become a eunuch? All who hate Israel are cursed. The Creator will keep His promises to Abraham.. History proves There is A real god and His name Is Jehovah. Judea and Israel belong to The Jews and this is confirmed by Hebrew prophecy and history, "to your seed I give this land from the river to the sea".
2. Why does Ynet use the Arab propaganda term "West Bank"
Adrien ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (02.02.12)
The term" West Bank" is an Arab propaganda term. It was never used prior to 1967. Also the area is not a "bank" like the bank of a river. There is no bank in the world that is anywhere near 5, 860 sq km or nearly 40 miles wide. Anyway, only Samaria borders the jordan River, not Judea. The media, especially the Israeli media needs to refer to the territories by the names that have been used for thousands of years - JUDEA & SAMARIA.
3. #2
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.02.12)
Occupied Territories is probably the best descriptor
4. Useless UN, anti-Semetic EU & muzlum obumma cheat REAL Jews.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.02.12)
5. This is disgusting. Simply disgusting.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (02.02.12)
Regardless of where they live these are Israelis and their government is turning its back on them. This is a betrayal, nothing less.
6. All settlements in WB are illegal end of story
Lynx ,   Palestine   (02.02.12)
7. @3: Yes, the correct name is Jordan!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (02.02.12)
That was and still is the Two State Solution as proposed and accepted by the UN in 1947. One was the State of Israel and the other the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Palestine? What''s that? Isn't that where the Philistines lived and Samson brought the house down. Today that id Gaza or Hamasstan but is the REAL Palestine!
8. Government makes a big mistake.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.02.12)
These people are vital to Israel.
9. Western civilization comes from Jerusalem, Athens and Rome..
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.02.12)
..but only one of these great civilizations stand today, and that is Jerusalem. The Romans are gone. Rome is merely a memory of a once glorious Roman empire. Athens and Greece have left their old ways and have become Christians. But Jerusalem stands out among the crowd. It is still the spiritual, political, religious and national center of the Jewish people. Hebrew is still spoken like it was 3000 years ago. The Hebrew alphabet is still used. And Jews are still Jews. When the economies of Rome and Athens and many Western nations waver, Jerusalem stands strong, Israel stands strong, our economy is strong. For 4000 years have we Jews lived in the hills of Judea and Samaria. The very same hills in which Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, King Saul, King David, King Solomon and the dozens of kings of Israel and Yehudah lived in, are still populated by the Jews today. The only time in history Jews didn't live in Judea and Samaria was between 1949-1967 when Gaza was occupied by the Egyptians and when Judea and Samaria were occupied by the Jordanians. No "Palestine" and no "Palestinians" have ever existed in recorded human history - no ancient civilization mentions them and neither the Bible nor the Koran speaks of them. "Palestinians" are Arab speaking Moslems. Arab speaking Moslems have never been the natives of neither Israel nor the broader Middle East - which historical documents of dozens of ancient civilizations can testify time and time again - open to anyone interested in the TRUTH. The Geneva Convention opposes forceful transfer of one's population into another country's territory. The problem is, that Israel is not forcing Jews to move into Judea and Samaria - Jews are ENCOURAGING the government to support Jewish presence in a land that has always been Jewish and never belonged to any "Palestinan" state. May the truth finally reach the airs of all human beings.
10. Netanyahu is a coward what else is new?
Rachel ,   US   (02.02.12)
11. Big Mistake! The US will pay!
Heather Czerniak ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.02.12)
Just after some Jewish settlements were closed and demolished, New Orleans was whacked by Hurricane Katrina. The Lord has ways of dealing with those who oppress His people. The US will pay big-time for this.
12. "Peace talks" ??? Hopefully they will never
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.02.12)
ever be restarted !!!!!!!!
13. Onesided international pressure on Israel is IMMORAL.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (02.02.12)
14. Heather # 11
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.02.12)
And if God is really mad at us then Obama will get re-elected. We are really paying now that we have hope and change.
15. # 11
Liberty ,   Valley of the devils   (02.02.12)
Maybe He is a She?
16. “commitment to … Europe”
Borislava ,   Sofia, Bulgaria   (02.02.12)
Israel does not owe anything to Europe. And Ban Ki-Moon must visit Cyprus, e.g.
17. JUST KEEP BUILDING!!!
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (02.02.12)
It'll be okayed after Romney is sworn in as our new president. Make Jerusalem Israel's capitol!!!!
18. #11 The US pays for SUPPORTING Israel...
TaylorT ,   Earth   (02.02.12)
Thousands dead in the 9/11 attacks (the 9/11 Commission Report details how the attack's ringleader KSM undertook the attacks because of US support for Israel.) The US also pays in many, many other ways; including financially, of course, as the US gives money directly to Israel as well as money to Israel's neighbors so they will play nice with Israel. And all people like you do is whine. Pathetic (and how depressingly stereotypical.) But don't worry, it won't be long until the majority of Americans no longer want their government to support Israel. Then you'll be on your own. Who will you blame then?
19. FUND RAISERS!
Tess   (02.02.12)
You need to intensify your fundraising among Jews at home and abroad - making specifically clear that the government is establishing an apartheid system against Jewish communities across the green line. This withholding of funds is another step in the plan to eventually de-Judeize those communties to give them to the Arabs. DONORS should consider switching their donations to settlements discriminated against by the government.
20. #18 actually
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (02.02.12)
As the attackers themselves said 9/11 came as a response to the occupation of Saudi Arabia (considered holy Muslim land) by the US through their puppets, and the theft of Arab oil wealth. Better luck next time.
21. Defence Budget
zivron   (02.02.12)
The jews need arms money for missiles and nuclear shelters nuclear submarines and except for the jordan valley settlements are less on the list of priorities .
22. the day the US falls, I'll open a nice bottle of wine.......
who cares   (02.02.12)
23. #20 Actually...
TaylorT ,   Earth   (02.02.12)
...you need to read up on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed . Or just read the 9/11 Commission Report. What you're thinking about is the motivation of Osama bin Laden. KSM was the one who had operational control over the attacks. Without him, OBL's hatred toward the US couldn't have been actualized. As the hijackers are dead, we can only speculate about their motivations. It has been theorized that at least some of them were simply "hired muscle" and weren't aware they were on a suicide mission (obviously those piloting the planes knew.) Without the US having spent the last three decades providing financial support for Israel and repeatedly vetoing UN resolutions, the US would not have been attacked on 9/11, And guess what? All most Americans want is for Israelis to show a little gratitude. Apparently that's too hard for some, including the poster in #11
24. for lynx from jordan,jewish people is illegal
trumpeldor   (02.03.12)
25. # 23
Birdi ,   Israel & proud of it   (02.03.12)
Dont you dare come to an Israeli news website & lay the blame of 9/11 on Israel. Your ramblings are not accepted here.
26. The gutless wimp Likud just reelected to lead their party.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.03.12)
The very day after Likud mistakenly reelected Bibi to lead the party; we have yet another case of Bibi betraying Likud and the vast majority of Israeli voters. And in the pathetic cause of begging world famous Holocaust Denier Abbas to please (pretty please) consent to sit at a table with us and receive much of our sole tiny Homeland. Pathetic doesn't even begin to cover Bibi. Likudniks, this is the gutless wimp you just reelected to lead your party!
27. #3. Just like America "occupies" New York.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.03.12)
#3 MIchael. Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel. This fact has been incontrovertibly proven by countless international law experts, including even Eugene Rostow, author of U.N. Resolution 242. Israel "occupies" Judea and Samaria in the same sense that America "occupies" New York.
28. Earth calling #23 Taylor - If you are really from Earth,
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (02.03.12)
Then why do you know so little about it, especially regarding the Saudis 9/11 attack on the USA ?
29. 2-Western media's infiltrated by such lies
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.03.12)
30. The Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (02.04.12)
Judea and Samaria is the Land of Israel. Israel must protect every inch of this Land no matter what the world of the dark forces says. Why make the fanatical Islamist-Jihadists of the region easier to triumph over Israel? Their 'peace' is the destruction of Israel. Israel should continue to build on the Land of Israel and not give Jewish communities to the wolves. Israel should not allow those Pagans, who do not know the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Land of Israel, to dismantle Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. It is time for the Government of Israel to be strong and resolute in the face of external pressures. Just hang on there. Come November America will have a new Government led by President Romney who will defend Israel's sovereignty on the Land of Israel.
