1. SECURE BIG ISRAEL, nonviolent transfer, BALANCE, time, peace
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (05.13.12)
2. Annexing the West Bank
Aussie Thinker   (05.13.12)
...would be the last thing that Israel does. After that would follow total isolation, sanctions, implosion, then wiping itself off the map (with a little help from outside).
3. That's okay
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.13.12)
A nice little nod to the squawking crows throughout the world that will express their "outrage" at Israel's INTERNAL POLITICAL ACTIONS. That's the real affront, but Israel will wait, examine the proposal and it will pass. Effectively shutting up the international community, who can not then claim that Israel acted by fiat. Annexation is coming (B"H). Arabs in Judea and Samaria: start packing. You're going home to Jordan.

Moshe   (05.13.12)
This is our land, so we are not annexing it, but taking it back.
5. Netanyahu chickens out again
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (05.13.12)
The West Bank belongs to Israel. It says in the Torah that this land was promised to the Jewish people. In 1967, Jordan attacked Israel and Israel won the land in that war. It never belonged to the so called "Palestinians." This is the myth that the left and the leftist media invented. Its time for Israel to stand up and declare that this is our land.
6. What Does Special Coordinate Mean?
(05.13.12)
How will the committee be formed and how will the decisions be based? Will the decisions be put to Vote By Israel constituents?
7. This doesn't make any sense....
Article is Rubbish ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
If Israeli law doesn't apply in Judea & Samaria, how can the Supreme Court decide what is Arab and what is Jewish? And what does "Israeli law" have to do with annexing. This is a democracy. THE PEOPLE must decide. Not Bibi. Not the court. THE PEOPLE. ONLY the PEOPLE.
8. The PEOPLE say "YES" TO ANNEXATION
Democracy 101 ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
This is a democracy? Then the people must be obeyed.
9. Are you thieves
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (05.13.12)
only occasionaly or by nature?
10. ANNEXATION
George ,   Washington, USA   (05.13.12)
Annexation is a better word. The settlerments are then in Israel proper, not in West Bank and Gaza. All the Arabs, who don't want to live in Israel, could move out to many Arab countries with some oil under the ground.
11. to jarda - the hypocrite
david ,   czech republic   (05.13.12)
we the czechs annexed 20 000 sq.km of sudeted german regions in 1918 and expelled ethnic germans from there in 1945. So jarda are you a hipocrite only occasionally or by nature?
12. @9
Bednar ,   Czech Republic   (05.13.12)
Do something about it, wimp.
13. Bibi Lies Again
Joe sombrero ,   USA   (05.13.12)
Again Bibi lies and takes the side of the left. This only proves that curruption is alive and well in Israel and he is controlled by Obama and the Left. The legal system is a joke and it shows that using the political and going through the legal system to solve problems fails.  This increases the chance of Civil War in the future in my opinion. Likud ministers and MKs should in my opinion start to rebel And put pressure on Bibi by voteing against many of his bills in the Knesset.
14. THE WORST MISTAKE
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (05.13.12)
the cause of De-legitimazation in the world. Jews do not possess what is theirs. Short-sightedness, weakness, lack of identity and lacking faith in the Jewish people, their History and their G-D.
15. The passing of such a bill...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (05.13.12)
...will show the real character of this new coalision. Through it,we will now the real intentions of Bibi:Resolve Israel's core problems ,being him at its side, or pleasing enemies in their squeezing demands of our people.
16. Annex only zone C
Yossef   (05.13.12)
17. to Attila : there is no such thing as "west bank"! ONLY Jude
Father Abe   (05.13.12)
Judea and Samaria!
18. #2. Aussie: Your hero Eichmann tried it
Tom W ,   USA   (05.13.12)
..to wipe the Jews off the map. In the end he kissed the rope, bro. You won't succeed either: keep dreaming.
19. #9. We remember the Benes decree!
Tom W ,   USA   (05.13.12)
Benes decree -- which is still in force today -- expelled ethnic Germans and Hungarians and confiscated their property. People have long memory and many remember the Czech thievery.
20. "Thats okay"?????
Khan ,   U.K.   (05.13.12)
Sarah B.,, well not you, you are just the braying a-- from afar, but Israel has a lot more impending issues to be concerned with than stealing more land and legislating the legality of it, you folks got a massive Earthquake coming, thats gonna knock Humpty Dumpty of this wall of greed and land theft. If I were Israel I would be more concerned about this Earthquake and who's gonna help her regroup, recoup, repent,,,,,,, seriously.
21. But why?
Nina ,   NYC   (05.13.12)
Why deny people the chance to see Israel dragged through the Hague and US Congresses pathetic attempt to defend the crime.
22. Bibi has no faith, what else is new?
Rachel ,   US   (05.13.12)
23. Anti-Israel, Anti-Jewish Comments...
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
I do not see anti-American comments purportedly from foreigners posted on Yahoo, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, etc nor do I see anti-British comments purportedly from foreigners posted on the Daily Mail online. Why do I continue to see nasty and unpleasant slurs purportedly from foreigners on Ynet? Surely this kind of flaming should be left unpublished by Ynet editors as it consists of rude and negative attacks by those who have no stake in Israel. At least let the disgreements be among our own.
24. #23. Brana: This is the explanation
Tom W ,   USA   (05.13.12)
Outright crude, antisemitic posts are not tolerated in the main-stream Western media. Only Pol.Corr. phraseology is permitted to condemn the Jews, that is, using oblique hyperbole instead of plain rough-stuff. The Israeli press -- remember to word "self-loathing Jews? -- revel in self-flagellation ...may be to show how "enlightened", "free-thinkers" "democratic" they are. Pro Israeli, factual posts are deleted often yet the worst resident antisemites are cherished in the Israeli media. No nation on earth have the same wretched mindset, that is to enjoy self-hate.
25. Bibi and the Likud's true colors.
Israeli 2   (05.13.12)
The only true hero here is Stas Misezhnikov and his ilk. History will record Likud as a facade and really not much different than other whoring parties. Bibi will NOT achieve piece by piece give away of Eretz Yisrael even if he is hiding behind Barak and his ilk. Sorry Bibi.
26. Bibi: Are you a democratically elected representative of the
Annex NOW ,   Jerusalem   (05.13.12)
PEOPLE or a DICTATOR? The people elected you based on a platform to ANNEX. The "rule of law" says you must do the will of the PEOPLE.
27. to 20
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (05.13.12)
The same "earthquake" you are threatenning us with, Khan, has already showing its signs in your UK: from the Parlament and down to the streets..It is taking over Europe, faster, then malaria...And thanks for your concern about Our "issues", .Be assured, that our Nation will survive, as it always does in our ancien land.There is nothing we haven't endured and didn't come out victorious, over the last 6000 years, Khan...So sit tight and worry about yourself and keep on playing with humpty dumpty, little boy...
28. the next 20 years
Mike ,   Haifa   (05.13.12)
the region between the Jordan river and the sea is the least that the State of Israel should have. Even the area east of Jordan in the northwestern part of Jordan, provinces of Irbid and Gadera, were once part of the Jewish homeland and there are many archeological sites to prove it. If we persist and demand all the areas under Israeli rule today, the international community ultimately will accept it. Relinquishingthe areas of Judea and Samaria was a process of some 20 years begining with the misguided treaty with Egypt that recognized Palestinian autonomy. So if we start demanding our rights to these areas and claim it as part of our land, within some 15-20 years, the international community will ultimately be convinced. The key is persistence and thinking long-term.
29. Bibi = Tricky Dicky = Ariel Sharon
Accountable to the ,   PEOPLE   (05.13.12)
USES the people and lies thrugh his teeth to get elected and then forgets everything he told the people and goes after whatever will make him the most money. Corruption is the name of the game in politics. Like Nixon he should be impeached if he screws the people who elected him.
30. Who is real Jew
Harren ,   Canada   (05.14.12)
You talk god gave you the land as a gift which is supported by towrah. Since you putting your weight behind it To make honest arguement what you need to prove is that you are true Jew. For me and for the rest of the world you are typical white European.
