91. new houses in occupied territories
deanna ,   london England   (12.02.12)
Thank G-d for Bibi. How naive is the world to have such a majority voting for Palestinian UN membership. Shame on all that voted for it
92. After UN vote, Israel to suspend PA funds #61
Elsie. ,   Gush Halav.   (12.02.12)
#61 Sarah, its not so hard, quite easy really. Here is just one of many. Judge Buergenthal at the World Court rules that Israel's West Bank Barrier violates international law. 2004. there are many more.
93. I Hope Bibi Get Elected Again
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.02.12)
Because if he keeps going the way he is going there will be UN sanctions on Israel before his next term is up. The man is leading Israel into the abyss. What has really not been discussed in the MSM is that Obama promised he would back Israel on this past week's vote on recognizing Palestine if Bibi would stop the attack n Gaza. It worked this time but the next time I think Obama will come down like a hammer on Bibi's intransigence and Israel's unlawful occupation of Palestine.
94. Cultural Difference
Max ,   Washington DC   (12.02.12)
The Biggest impediment to Peace is the Cultural Difference best seen by the actions taken by Israel and it's Peace Partners. In response to terrorist murders and deliberate targeting of civilians by Hamas, Hezbollah and others, Israel responds by building homes.

Jews will never bow to anyone except the ALMIGHTY, but not allah the pagan god
96. Palestine should respsond
Leon ,   Algonquin Land   (12.02.12)
by laying off the carefully trained and US funded PA force.
97. @split... Bring it on
Steven ,   Seattle, WA   (12.02.12)
This is no longer 1937. We Jews in Israel and the world will protect ourselves with Israel as our home and base of intellectual, military power. We will NEVER AGAIN allow the attempted extermination of our small tribe with one of the smallest nations on earth. We are only 16 million but we are strong and prepared to take on your hate and the thousands of years hate of others. Your view of me, a Jew and a Zionist will never define me. If you raise a fist, attempt BDS or other hateful anti-Semitic attempts to harm Jews then you will answer for it. Israel is and will continue to be the most prosperous nation per capita in the world. NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN! Do you hear me? The Arabs of Judea and Samaria may one day live in peace as Jordanian citizens. Or Egyptian or Syrian or wherever else their Arab brothers will take them. Israel is the reality. Once E1 is complete Jerusalem will be even more solidly the eternal capital of one country, Israel. Nice work "palestinians" you have now helped to further create a brighter future for Israel's reality on the ground.
98. #20: Independence ?
Jack ,   Irvine, CA   (12.02.12)
Do you use your brain at least when you write ? What about our tax money flooding to Israel? Does that make Israel independent? PofD operation costs us $675B on aids!!!
99. End ALL support for Fictional Palestine NOW!!!!!
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.02.12)
No more games. No more gestures. No more concessions. This tiny land is ours. End ALL support for Fictional Palestine NO!!!! It is way past time to drop the hammer on these malignant "Palestinian" poseurs. They must leave our land forever.
100. To nr 16: Bertram the "Jew" from London
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.02.12)
"I fear your satirical comments will be lost on most talkbackers who, I am sure, will think you are being serious." Bertram, what exactly is it that you dislike about talkback nr 6? I mean you did write after all that you are a "Jew" and that you support Israel - even though 99.9% of all your talkbacks are very hostile to Jews and Israel. But please explain to me Bertram what is your world view, what you believe in and what the world should look like and what are "normal" opinions, and why pro-Israeli Jews are routinely labelled "extremists" by you and also please explain why you compared my views with Jihadists. Please also explain what criteria and yardsticks you use to determine what are "good" and "bad" opinions. After all, you accused me of not knowing how to debate. But I am under the sincere impression that a debate entails a mutual exchange of opinions and ideas and statements that either must be argued for or proven by delivering facts. So why don't you debate Bertram? After all, I have sent dozens of talkbacks where I've routinely asked you several questions and I've even delivered proof to back up my statements. You neither disproved my statements nor did you respond to them nor did you present any arguments to support your pro- "Palestinian" point of view.
101. 57 & 71
zionist forever   (12.02.12)
Since when was it illegal to withhold somebodies finances if they don't pay their bills and owe money? Ordinary people have to pay their bills and get into trouble if they don't so why shouldn't Israel withholding this money if the PA owes money for about 20 years of Israel turning a blind eye to them not paying their bills and the loss is covered by increase in electric prices for Israel's, Whilst your busy quoting Geneva conventions are there any laws banning the firing of rockets into Israeli towns. There has been no occupation of Gaza since 2005 but its become the palestinians version of NASA .. keep firing those rockets. Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria is DISPUTED territory because we reach an agreement on borders it doesn't really belong to either side. Israel does not have any official borders the way America does because prior to 1967 its borders were ceasefire lines because the borders Israel had in 1949 after the war ended were not the ones the UN proposed in 1947. After 1967 Israel's borders were ceasefire lines just different to the ones. When Israel has clear internationally recognised borders LEGAL permanent borders, not ceasefire limes its not occupying palestinian territory. It is also for Congress to decide what should be given to Israel and what terms not Obama and Clinton.
102. Doesn't matter
daz ,   uk   (12.02.12)
The Emir of Qatar or the Saudis will give money to the Palestinians. The Israeli regime needs to realise the Palestinians are a very resourceful people and are not going anywhere.
103. A pyrrhic victory
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.02.12)
"One more such victory and we are lost," exclaimed Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, as he described his costly success in the battle of Asculum in Apulia. Bring on another victory like this one,Abbas. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
104. 93
(12.02.12)
Bibi will win the election with majority. Ah, let UN do sanctions on Israel, and will see what will be outcome.WW3 will come. Already it is written that the whole world will fight Israel, but at the end of the day we Jews will win the fight.
105. well done Israel
jose manuel ,   spain   (12.02.12)
106. #98. US aid to Israel accounts for 2.4% of Israeli GDP
Jake ,   USA   (12.02.12)
Do you really think it would hurt Israel if the US stopped sending aid?
107. #106 Would it hurt Israel
Shlomo ,   Tel Aviv   (12.02.12)
The largest demonstration in the history of the state of Israel was for social justice everyday people are hurting. Could you elaborate on what part of Israel it would not hurt.?
108. #57 Giora Me"ir
ltrail ,   United States   (12.02.12)
I wonder why you hadn't commented about the rockets into Israel from Gaza, by Hamas. Withholding money is better than all-out war against the so-called palestinians. Let them go it alone as they please. Statehood will never come that way.
109. # 101
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (12.03.12)
The 1949 armistice lines did not include the land taken by Israel in 1967 as part of Isrrael. Land taken in war. That Israel has been constructing settlements upon. A clear violation of the 1949 Gebeva Convention.
110. Time to sanction you
Anonymus   (12.03.12)
For being allowed to express your utterly foolish and secretly-antisemitic opinions.
111. You wish.
Anonymus ,   Norway   (12.03.12)
