1. to europe get over it
bari ,   ny usa   (08.08.12)
israel will do whatever it needs and/or wants to do in their own country. this probably won't get published but i'll say it anyway to the eu and its cohorts - go &*(% yourselves. have a nice day!
2. Arrogance
Zivron   (08.08.12)
This reignites the vicious cycle Palestinan ownership Jewish ownership seems unnecessary.We know the Arabs what us out or most of them Iran makes it worse this seems unnecessary.The realiity is not with either religions but with atheism but religion in moderation an expression of some values worth holding not many but the Ten Commandments some are worthy aspirations.
3. Hey EU- go to hell
jimmy   (08.08.12)
EU I say to you go to bloody hell with your fairies and weaklings ashton, and the rest of you weak bastards. Don't come to arabs sitting on ancient jewish lands and then tell israelis this is forcible transfer or the next time, you will get a swift boot up the ass and out.
4. It's called "eminent domain"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.08.12)
But any ersatz "Palestinian" who is unhappy, is free to leave Medinat Israel immediately.
5. This is not Israeli land, but they might allege it is Jewish
observer ,   Egypt   (08.08.12)
the world should recover from weakness towards that Jewishness stuff.
6. Diplomats blast
Alice ,   Israel/Canada   (08.08.12)
This is Our Land. We are not going anywhere else. Let all The Consuls and Diplomats of other countries scream their head off. Who cares ?Besides partying and getting drunk that's what they do best.
7. Israeli Apartheid In Action
World Citizen ,   the world   (08.08.12)
It's obvious to the whole civilised world what the Israeli government is doing. This is nothing more that the slow genocide of the Palestinian people. Have you no shame after what happened to the Jews in the Shoah?
8. Maybe the British Consul General,
A ,   Belgium   (08.08.12)
should go to Sderot and Ashkelon and Jewish towns in Yesha and examine what its like living under a constant threat of rocket attack and terrorist incursions. Might as well, he's going to swallow a bellyfull of "palestinian" lies anyway.
9. Not Israeli land?
Dmitriy ,   Chicago, USA   (08.09.12)
What proof of land ownership can the Palestinian "settlers" provide? Israeli occupation? Israel exhisted 1000s of years before the word "Palestine" was first conceived!
10. IDF takeover of villages
Ralph Dratman ,   Cherry Hill, NJ, USA   (08.08.12)
Israel wants to get non-Israelis out of the country. I sympathize with that desire, but I cannot condone their actions in this and many other cases. And what difference does it make what my opinion is? No difference whatsoever, of course. In fact it makes no difference what anyone's opinion is about Israel's policies. This is how human beings operate. It is not fair. It is not nice. It is sad reality.
11. Good to see EU is paying the price for its antisemitism!
Ben Zion   (08.08.12)
Just the EU doesnt see the connection between its downfall and its antisemitism ! ''He who curses Israel will be cursed!''
12. To # 7
Salomoni ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.08.12)
NO!!!!!
13. I have a great idea to "palestinians" who are not happy...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (08.08.12)
....with IsraelĀ“s decisions: Move to Arabic Peninsula-your rightful home-and be happy there.
14. I think the nazi referred to it as "gentle relocation"
Kol Nidrei   (08.09.12)
israel can call it "gentile relocation"
15. this is isreali lands. arabs are the illegal occupiers
ralph   (08.09.12)
16. Israel Is *NOT* Occupying Power
emanon ,   USA   (08.08.12)
17. 7 - Have you no shame after what happened to the Jews ,...
split ,   US   (08.08.12)
My grandmother once told me: Give them a power and they will show you their real face - Gosh was she right.
18. Israel has the right to do what it needs to do - no one can
Rachel ,   USA   (08.09.12)
stop or has the right to stop them when it comes to saving lives and protecting their own people.
19. # 7
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.09.12)
You belong on another world. You have no grasp of what is going on around you in this one.
20. What hipocracy.
John Phee ,   Sydney AUSTRALIA   (08.08.12)
The EU talking about forced transfers. Where was there voice in 48 to 52 when the Germans were expelled from Prussia, Silisia & Sudentenland. What of the Italians expelled from the Trieste region, The Finns expelled by the Russians, the Georgians expelled only a few years ago by the Russians. Comments such the the EU come up with simply show how dishonest they are.
21. Diplomats blast forced transfer
Harold ,   USA   (08.09.12)
The only thing the European Union can do is to recognize a Palestinian State with 1967 boirders. Period
22. "Consul generals, diplomats from around the world visit"
Marco ,   Spain   (08.09.12)
Syria?
23. #3-Sarah Blind - You Obviously Did Not
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (08.09.12)
Read the story. This is taking place in illegally occupied Palestine. Not in Israel. The U.S. can not claim imminent domain in Toronto. Nor can Israel in ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED AND COLONIZED Palestine. And if you believe the West Bank is Israel, then please tell my why the Pals from there can not vote, can not cross the apartheid wall, can not travle apartheid walls and are forced to go through apartheid checkpoints?
24. EU GAVE 75% OF JORDAN TO ISRAEL
DAHOUD ,   EGYPT   (08.09.12)
EU, you gave the Jews the Holocaust; then you voted in favor of the National Jewish Homeland in San Remo in 1920 to comprise of 75% of what is now Jordan. The "occupiers" are the Arabs. They have to move! You have it half-assed backwards! Go read the charter of the Balfour Declaration.
25. FU E.U
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (08.09.12)
26. To nr 5
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.08.12)
No of course not. In reality, we Jews are Marsians from outer space alternatively we came from the moon. Strangely enough, 4000 years of Jewish history exists in the very land you claim isn't ours.
27. Does the EU really have time for this?
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.09.12)
The EURO is falling apart, Greece is bankrupt, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and Ireland are grappling with huge deficits and the German economy is slowing down. Just like Hitler at the end of WW2, when Germany was collapsing, was more interested in killing my people instead of saving Germany, it seems Europeans are more interested in hating and killing Jews and stealing our land and history instead of saving Europe. Israel should never allow foreign diplomats to enter and visit Judea and Samaria to express support for the "Palestinians" since that would give them the impression that Israel accepts this situation. When foreign diplomats enter Israel, they have to show respect for the host country - otherwise the foreign diplomats don't deserve visiting Israel - not even for a minute or half a minute.
28. SHOVE IT...clowns !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.08.12)
29. Stealing Palestine inch by inch....
Penny   (08.08.12)
30. Have it your way..all the way
Jared ,   Stillwater, USA   (08.09.12)
Israel, either work with the rest of the world on all issues or work by yourself. If you want to have it your way, then do not ask for help on Iran!
