61. 3000 homes
(12.03.12)
I would like to ask all these very "fair"people & polticians, as far as I am informed, that the country that wins a war, sets the rules. Now why is Israel the agressor & Russia who won the 2WW annexed land from Czechoslovakia Poland Roumania the Baltics Japanese islands etc Not one of these diplomats have ever protested when the Russians built in the " occupied countries"
62. #31 where have you been all this time?
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (12.03.12)
It's been 18 months than Europe is trying to solve the Syrian problem being irrefutably blocked by China and Russia. As for their embassies, there have been closed a while ago already !
63. frogs and toads
Mike ,   Aussie   (12.03.12)
Firstly to the Brits. Give it up. You power in the world has now gone. Even my country can't stand you anymore. The number of Brits who have come to live in Australia is testimony to the fact hey can no longer live in your cold, wet, depressing and pitiful country where people do not smile. Not to mention you should now be called britistan or englanabad. And to ou French, you'll probably now round up your Jews again to the Vel d'hiv to await transportation to a death camp. You pitiful sods. Go rot in hell.
64. What's more reprehensible......
Robert ,   Australia   (12.03.12)
.....to be an anti-Semite or anti British? You characters who push anti Semitism as tantamount to blasphemy are as contemptible as those you condemn. It's time you people had a really good look in a mirror, you would see things you don't like. A number of posters here have damned the entire British people by the actions of a few are demonstrating they are no better than those who brought the holocaust upon you. Is it any wonder Jews are the most reviled people in the world?
65. When the third temple falls...
Eldar ,   Haifa   (12.03.12)
We have built a successful, modern democratic Jewish state - by every measure a miracle among the history of nations. Yet, Bibi and the occupation-driven government is steering us to total destruction. Our ingenuity, bravery, wisdom and technological prowess will no longer help, once we have isolated our last friends and turned the world's Jewish community against us. Here's to hoping that the Israeli electorate will be smarter than the moronic band of Ynet talkbackers and vote this government far out of office. Unfortunately, the polls suggest we will only get a more suicidal government.
66. #16 etc
Uri ,   Siberia   (12.03.12)
haha .. that's true, because Israel invented everything from the wheel to space travel .. you guys are just great, you invented writing, alphabet, the wheel, how to make bread, the television (thanks to the world-famous Israeli John Logie Baird), the telephone (everybody knows that Bell was an israeli), etc etc ... Obviously when someone who happens to be a Jew invented something, then it was thanks to his jewry, not the educational system and opportunities offered to that person in their nation (nation <> religion .. believe it or not). Oh, I forgot ... the Israeli army can also take on France, UK, Germany, Russia, etc on its own and win sooooo easily, its just a little sad for those countries ... and in case everything fails, we have G-d on our side anyway, He's been so good to us over the last few millenia, we just love Him ....
67. British Ambassador
Non-Jew ,   England   (12.03.12)
The current British Ambassador in Israel, Matthew Gould, is an unpleasant, unctuous little lying toad. He recently told an Israeli delegation at the Knesset that there's no inherent antisemitism in Britain (no need for the CST, & no problems for Jewish students on British university campuses, then, we can assume?) , and that he wants to encourage trade / business development between the two countries. I guess we can now see the lies on both those counts, and that the antisemitism goes right to the top. A few months later, the Deputy Ambassador told the same group of Israelis that 'settlement building' is a major obstacle to peace, but apparantly didn't consider that the launching of missiles from Gaza might also be. You're better off without either of them. Right now, I'm ashamed to be British.
68. US taxpayer
Tom ,   Indianapolis   (12.03.12)
As someone who pays a lot of US taxes, I fully support Israel's decision. It is not in our national interest to have a fanatic Muslim entity near Jerusalem.
69. We deplore that you 3 hypocrites supported the PA
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.03.12)
bid for UN non-member status without them amending their charter to destroy us
70. # 7 Ed Codish You really haven't got a clue, have you?
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (12.03.12)
What you don't know about Israel could fill many, many books. Try reading one without the pictures. The Americans and the Europeans can't save themselves dude. Hell right now, no Muslim can save themselves either. Why doesn't THAT bother you? As for 'universal disgrace' Where were you when 6 million Jews were exterminated? I'd call that a"universal disgrace,' wouldn't you? No, you probably would not, you're one of the problems, A Jew hater. Why not just say so and be done with it? "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." must be hell to be a prisoner of such continued ignorance supported by nothing. "Even a fool is thought wise while he is silent, speak and remove all doubt." This saying fits you to a TEE. Boob brain.
71. Barking dogs
LION OF JUDAH ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (12.03.12)
The barking dogs of Europe have started to bark. Bibi for G D sake do not be under pressure from these barking dogs. Once you give in with this demand to stop building, it will be the start to give all of Israel away, Be firm, let them bark, and then Europe will respect you. Do not drop your pants for Europe. Be tribe of Judah and show strength
72. Europeans rubbished Oslo agreements
(12.03.12)
Europeans failed to support the Oslo process the only established process. Failed to support bipartisan approach. Supported unilateralism and creating a non state entity. Let down their ally and went back on the quartet principles. Rewarded the aggressor and the obstacle partner to the peace process. If Oslo is scrapped then building and unilaterally is restored.
73. reaction of Cameron and others
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
Only anger on Israel or… is a new kind of anti-Semitism breaking through in Europe and the rest of the world? Maybe I see it too dramatically, but since a long time you saw in Europe, some political parties, especially the socialist or social democratic ones, evolve from a sympathy for a left Israel, Zionist or not, to a latent and later harsh anti-Zionism and to become simply: anti-Israel. If you should have lived there, you could feel in those parties or in the statements, they made, an anti Jewish sentiment or you could predict the rising of it. I have no long toes. I support critics or humor about Israel - there are enough critics and jokes about the French, the British, the Americans,… - but I had - and I was not alone with it - that feeling to be slowly driven in a corner. But I hope that Cameron's statement or the reaction of other states are only an expression of anger and not … Wait and see. Stay optimistic and.... In G'd we trust!
74. #18 There is more chance of me
A ,   Belgium   (12.03.12)
winning the Euromillions 3 times in a row and building a palace on the moon than you ever seeing your imaginary place called "palestine".
75. To King Abdallah: Take heed to what Israel is doing
A ,   Belgium   (12.03.12)
they are building new homes for Israeli citizens in Israel. Maybe you should start building some new homes for the wave of soon to be "palestinian"/Jordanian citizens. Or are your plans more in line with your fathers "September Surprise"?
76. ...What, France again?
Mat ,   French and America   (12.03.12)
As a French American, I find your comment light on facts. "We hate Americans"? before WWII?? Check your history manual. The question at stake is wether Israel wants a valid democratic Palestine state as part of a sustainable peace solution or wether it choses divide and conquer, which plays into the hands of extremists both jews and palestinians. The reaction of France and the UK is worthy of praise. The international community is fed up with this conflict and the humanitarian and terrorist costs it entails. The question is: what goodwill can Israelis and Palestinians show to each other to reach a peaceful settlement and make this region strive instead of making it the embarrassment of the world.
77. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (12.03.12)
Huge trouble for Israel. Never mess with Britain and France - There is no AIPAC there. Sanctions will start soon and the pillars under Israel fall. Never forget Britain and France help Israel to have the Nuclear bomb.
78. EU: Obstacle to Peace
Ed ,   USA   (12.03.12)
As usual, the EU condemnation of Israel insures that there will be no movement from the Palestinians toward peace. It is the EU that is the greatest obstacle to peace.
79. England and France
Ilana   (12.03.12)
How dare they. AFter all the damage they have done over the years, even crimes against humanity and now voting in favor of Abbas, what did they really expect? Jerusalem is ours, not anyone else's. You know where they can stick their deploration! When they isolate it, it frees us to do whatever we want as we dont have much more to lose. Build build and build some more.
80. Sarah B. U.S.A.
J.Gedalov ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
You are completely right darling! In that case my vote will be for Liberman and Likud!
81. Sarah B. 38 Excellent!!!!!
J.dketerstov ,   Israel   (12.03.12)
82. European hyena's!
tiki ,   belgium   (12.03.12)
The EU hypocrites, who didn't have any problem sending 6 million Jews to their death, who have no problem granting 'rights to those who don't deserve them (maybe because of the assurance there will be another 6 million), have the nerve to lecture Israel (ONLY because it's a JEWISH state) what to do, where to build & how to behave. These shocked governments, who don't have any problem doing booming business with Iran, Saudi Arabia, China & all the others who trample Human Rights with their feet, who hang people only because the're gay or have an ex marital affair, degrade woman to a minority group, etc.etc., should mind their own business and tell their Hamas, Hezbollah, PA and all their terrorist friends how to behave, because it might help their so loved 'Peace process. Those few houses in Israel's capital won't break the camel's back! Arab hate & European hypocrisy will!
83. Once again Germany BETRAYS Israel...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (12.03.12)
that MOST idiotic pic of Merkel is SO fitting !!!!
84. Israeli government making GOOD decisions
A ,   Belgium   (12.03.12)
Witholding "palestinian" tax money to pay their unpaid bills, building new houses, and letting the UN and the world know what they think of their "palestinian" butt-kissing! Next, annexation of Judah and Samaria and implimentation of transferring the illegal "palestinian" squatters to Jordan. Take note, Abdallah, you might want to start building some houses too for your soon to be growing "palestinian" population. Or maybe building more prisons would suit them better.
85. Czechoslovakia
Prometheus ,   London   (12.03.12)
The Europeans gave the Czechs to the Nazi-Germans in the same way they are trying to give the Jews to the Nazi-Jihadists. Tell them to back off or terminate the oil business and watch them collapse. Israel needs four things: 1) 100% self sufficient economy 2) Energy Independence 3) Global unconventional second strike ability 4) Arms exports for those who support it If the world wants a Jew-free west bank then Israel has full rights to demand a Muslim free Israel: Get the buses ready. The one thing the Jews have learnt - they can never trust a non-Jew when the non-Jew can sacrifice the Jew for some gelt
86. Time Israel to open your eyes and to
DT ,   TA Israel   (12.03.12)
know your enemies. They are not just the Arabs and Palestinians but "great pretenders" of being Israel's friends and are anything but.
87. Ynet
James ,   Tel Aviv   (12.03.12)
only two hours ago the Ynet headlines read the opposite.. This is what I call shaddy journalism..so what if the first headlines were not correct.. Ynet just turns around and prints the opposite without even an apology.. can you say.. TABLOID?
88. Just trying to understand..pali terrorist state is approved,
Netanya ,   Netanya   (12.03.12)
but Israel is not free to build on her land. The biggest mistake that was made by Israel was that she didn't annex the land and toss out the Arabs, just like the Jews who were tossed out of the Arab countries. The nerve of the Brits, to speak against Israel when they will find themselves soon on the terrorist bandwagon and will need Israel's intelligence and knowledge. Since nobody did anything against the palis, just empty threats, this should be the same.
89. Ed Codish no 7
JUDAH THE LION ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (12.03.12)
This is our country and our land for over five thousands years, before Christianity & Islam. No body can take this from us. We can build wherever we want and we do not need your mama. We all know what will happen. The whole world will come against us. It is written in our bible, but at the end we Jews will win. To hell with our enemies. We Jews do not need human being to protect us. Human being is made of bust and to dust he will go. IN G D WE TRUST, Not America not Obama, not the Europeans
90. no 13 from Spanyola
JUDAH THE LION ,   JEWS FIGHT LIKE LION   (12.03.12)
hey shocked, what will happen when Israel will tell your Europeans who have been killing JEWS from in fants to pregnant women, bashing their heads burning them alive, frying them alive, Jews for years, to FOFF, what are the European will do ? Would they go to war with Israel, or what ? Mr Spanyola do not put wounded LION at the corner, and I am sure you know what it means. Ruthless killers Europe !!!!!! Please Ynet do not censor this one
