1. West Bank ??? There is ONLY the land of
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain   (08.28.12)
Israel...
2. Demand unrestricted Jewish building in Judea/Samaria.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.28.12)
It's been decades since many world leading international law experts incontrovertibly proved Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel. There is no excuse for ANY racist restrictions in Judea and Samaria. The idea of deporting Jews to please our "Palestinian" enemies, who make no secret that they want Israel destroyed, is utterly lunatic. Demand unrestricted Jewish building in Judea and Samaria. This land is ours. End the racist rubbish!
3. Slowly, the stone that was despised...

will become the cornerstone. We have almost won.
4. All Israeli settlements violate International Law
Alan Smith UK   (08.28.12)
Not sure why Israel continues with the same boring repetitive monologue that the West Bank is the property.of the Jewish theocracy. Where's the provenance other than in religious comic books, hearsay and myth, and if the Jews were the chosen people of their God, where was he during the Holocaust? Perhaps on holiday as Samuel Willenberg, the sole survivor of Treblinka is quoted as saying. Better embrace reality before it's too late.
5. #4 which International Law?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.28.12)
I know about laws that forbid attacking soverign states and destroying civilian infrastructure, like UK did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. I also know laws that forbid murdering civilians in war zones, like UK does in Afghanistan (remember Daniel Crook?). But which International Law forbids building Jewish homes? Is it one you just invented?
6. ONENESS: secular/dati/left/right/etc. for SECURE BIG ISRAEL.

7. to #4 Alan Smith UK
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (08.29.12)
right after you evacuate the Falklands you are illegally occupying, we'll look at Migron. Then after you hand your own home back to the Celts it was stolen from, we'll consider the rest of Judea/Samaria. PS: get the hell out of Northern Ireland
8. The facts are self evident: Jews are thieves.
Natallie Durson ,   Los Angeles, CA   (08.29.12)
There are many different ways to approach the issue of theft. On one hand there is a strong arm approach with weapons and threats. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the political approach with retroactive "legalizing" and ethnic cleansing. There are a multitude of approaches between the extremes. Israel has used many of them in their quest to disposses the Palestinians. The facts are clear. Simply look at the map of thirty years ago and look at today's map. What happened in between was no accident.
9. Niiiiiice strawma, ii.
Johnboy ,   Australia   (08.30.12)
"But which International Law forbids building Jewish homes?" Ahem. I.s.r.a.e.l.i. homes, not J.e.w.i.s.h. homes. "Is it one you just invented?" No, but that strawman of yours is.
10. Wrong!
M. ,   USA   (08.31.12)
Judea and Samaria do not belong to Israel, and they are occupying those lands and building settlements illegally on land that's not theirs. Israel must pull back from Judea and Samaria at once and allow the Palestinians to create their own independent, sovereign nation-state in those territories alongside Israel!
11. Good point, Alan Smith.
M. ,   USA   (08.31.12)
However, many, if not most Israelis are willing to trade land for peace (i. e. West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem), to withdraw their troops/settlers, and to allow the Palestinians their independence and sovereignity alongside Israel for peace, and for their own survival.
12. Wrong attitude, Natallie Durson!
M. ,   USA   (08.31.12)
It's one thing to take Israel to task for and condemn their government's occupational policies and horrific treatment of the Palestinians in West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, but to say that jews per se are thieves is way, way over the top...and very bigoted.
