31. #6 once you convert you can never leave
Concerned ,   Israel   (01.02.13)
Before jumping on that Islam bandwagon to get the cash read the fine print: once a Muslim always a Muslim, trying to leave means that they have the "right" to kill you. It is all written in their holy book and laws. This is the same principal as to why they claim all of Israel, Barcelona, Belgrade, etc.
32. No!!! Give Their Houses to Gush Katif Jews
emanon ,   USA   (01.02.13)
Why give money to your sworn enemies? Many of the displaced Jews of Gush Katif STILL have not been compensated for the loss of their homes and lands. The people of Gush Katif deserve money more than the terrorstinians. This would not make up for the loss of Gush Katif, but it would help.
33. Brian # 6 You are confusing me...
Alex   (01.02.13)
...now that we are doing our best to convince the Palis about their Hebrew ethnical origins, and then you want to convert to Islam !! You are making a mess of everything !! .....:)
34. Green Card with $500,000
Daliah Sklar ,   Tel Aviv   (01.02.13)
There are many countries that will accept you with $500,000 investment. The US wil grant you a Greencard, the UK a working visa etc etc. Seems like a win win option if Israel has the funding. Sometimes one needs to buy peace of mind.
35. Dr. Martin Sherman and the "Solution"
Robert Haymond ,   Israel-gush Etzion   (01.02.13)
This idea, that it would be just as cheap to pay each Arab family in the Westbank $500,000 to emigrate, is actually an idea originally coming from Dr. Martin Sherman, a member of the panel at the conference and a columnist in JPost (and formerly in Ynet). We already pay out a similar sum in defence and security and, with the withdrawal of the Westbank Arab population, we won't need so much security. Furthermore, the Arab population does not have the loyalty to the land which we Jews have. It's just not in their history; it's something made up in order to claim the land and in order to divert attention from the inequities, corruption and injustices in their own lands. The only Arabs in the Westbank to profit from their settlements are the leaders such as Abbas (with 25 million in bank accounts according to a former crony, Khalidi, now residing in the USA and Abbas' two sons, one of whom was a major contractor for the "infamous" Wall). The conference itself, incidentally, was phenomenal with several briillant speakers including Moshe Feiglin, a genuine visionary with the ability to relate to an audience and with a sense of humour. Other excellent speakers at the "Application of Israeli Sovereignity over Judea and Samaria" includedAlan Baker, a lawyer who participated in framing the Edmond Levy Report and Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan of Habayit HaYehudi who interpreted Torah to show why Yehuda and Shomrun are ours and always have been and why we have no choice but to return them to our own possession. The "Women in Green" did an outstanding job in organizing and presenting this conference. Much merit accrues to them.
36. I AM PACKED AND GOOD TO GO, I WILL SETTLE FOR $$ 50,000 ONLY
MOSHE ,   EAST JERUSALEM   (01.02.13)
GET RID OF OCCUPATION, GET OUT OF THE ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES RACISM, HATE, COLONIZATION, BREAKING INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHT LAWS, COUNTRY BASED ON BLODD, I HAVE HIT THE JACKPOT!!!!
37. Wither the Likud
Shimon Cohen ,   Jerusalem   (01.02.13)
So Feiglin is Ben-Ari & Kahane and Elkin is adopting the Bnenett plan and Bibi has no plan - so why vote Likud?
38. if only it were that easy
ej ,   tlv   (01.02.13)
paying for at least 2/3 of the Muslim arabs in the West bank to leave would cost billions! who has that kind of money?!
39. # 31 concerned, look on the bright side...
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.02.13)
Who would have thought that the Muslims themselves would be committing genocide on such a limitless scale and, not one Jew or Christian ( for that matter ) is involved? What they claim and what they get are not the same. Peace for example.
40. Moving Arabs to the "West"! Hmmm?
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (01.02.13)
Actually, this is a new version of the Late Rehavam Zeevi's "Transfer" ideology. He is right on one point though. They will be welcomed in Europe, particularly, in Malmo, Sweden the home of Ikea, and Dov Feiler will head the welcoming party (or is he still in jail where he belongs?) and the UK and there they than can further the already rabid hatred of Jews and Israel! As for the money, well, I am sure that Netanyahu and Chiwawas Steinitz and Akunis will find the money for this "scheme" at the expense of the majority of Israelis who live in the North and South of the country and are not Haredim! No money for Autistic kids, kids in danger of abuse, the old, the handicapped and Holocaust Survivors but the Likud found NIS84,000 to pay Sarit Hadad to head the Bibi Cheering Squad! Now fork out billions of Dollars for Palestinian "Resettlement"? That is what Likud-Beiteinu stands for and Manahem Begin and Jabotinsky are rolling in their graves in disgust! Yes, a two State Solution is right. Give the Terrorists their State where they stand and cut them out of our lives and stop providing them with electricity at our expense. Also, they want to boycott Israel so let the "Settlers" and Feiglin tell us why they employ those who murder Israeli children in their beds!
41. 500K
Peace   (01.02.13)
Why not pay 500K to the settlers and ask them to return to where they came from.
42. #1 your brain is disconnected...
mark ,   usa   (01.02.13)
from your body...get a calculator. Figure a million wb families times half a million dollars equals 50 billion. Cheap, actually dirt cheap. Make it a million dollars so by the time you float this deity and set up the annuity payments to the families say over a twenty year period, israel would be looking a yearly outlay of about 8-12 billion. Actually it works on so many levels this guy should get a Nobel just for suggesting it.
43. somebody should pay Feiglin to leave the planet
sonia ,   paris france   (01.02.13)
44. He wants to bankrupt the State of Israel
Dave from Brazil ,   Sao Paulo   (01.02.13)
A simpler, better solution would be to negotiate with the Palestinians the establishment of their state and to leave the West Bank.
45. He is right. since oslo 1993 over 100 billion spent
perfect ,   resolution   (01.02.13)
in extra security against terror that is increasing in expense (first it was rock throwing, than knives, than guns, now missilies)...take those billions and those 65-80% PA Arabs that want to emigrate (regardless of money) will now have a 100-500k lottery ticket to live like kings in 22 arab countries with per capita incomes of 5k a year. thats like an american being offered 20-100x yearly wage (1-5 million) to move to canada, europe, south america.
46. 37
zionist forever   (01.02.13)
If you want to know why vote Likud look at the alternative. Shelly and her economic policies that will break the bank, Livni, the opportunist who doesn't really have a policy and is making it up as she goes along. Bennet, his party does not exist to win elections but instead join coalitions for a price like the other single issue parties. Likud isn't perfect but they are the only ones capable of winning the election and I think its safe to say Bennet won't be invited into any Labor coalition. So basicaly do we want Bibi as the next PM or Shelly because they only ones in with a chnce. Bibi is best of a bad bunch.
47. Wait, that's racist!
Avi Mizrachi ,   Tel Aviv   (01.02.13)
I'm an Israeli Jew. I have lived all my life in what some call the "West Bank". Just to make things fair, why not offer the $500K and a Canadian Passport to Jews as well?
48. a right-wingers wet dream
rm ,   Amsterdam NL   (01.02.13)
I suppose...I read in another recent op-ed, that Israel should actually get the international community to pay the bill for this velvet-glove deportation. Get this mr. Feiglin, it's not going to happen. Not because we don't want them, but because part of Israel is rightly theirs!
49. Will induce millions of Palestinians from Jordan to flood ..
Ehud ,   Israel   (01.02.13)
...the West Bank in order to pick up 500K (maybe even twice). I know something cheaper: Stop building superfluous settlements!
50. enough.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (01.02.13)
$1000. is sufficient.
51. Cool! That's just what I needed to go back to Italy
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (01.02.13)
52. as a Palestinian i agree
jonny ,   norway   (01.02.13)
as a Palestinian i agree, please israel give us this option... you got to understand, me " the new generation" we don't want anything to do with the westbank, very large population of the new generation agree with me, even in gaza. you can have it, just give us papers that say are papers are revoke and we can apply or asylum in the beautiful west.
53. To move to west?
MR   (01.02.13)
I suppose he means east.
54. I just think no amount should be set
Keren ,   IL-BR   (01.02.13)
500000,00 shekels is too much money! Olim get perhaps 5% of that.It´s not fair so much money to be given to them.
55. Grant "Palestinians" the Israeli citizenship
rami ,   jerusalem, Israel   (01.04.13)
I'm a " Palestinian". I'm fed up and bored of our Palestinian Authority. I guess most of the "Palestinians" are having the same feelings. We've been born on the lands of Israel, We lived under Israeli rule, we share in the Israeli economy, we have an amazing role in building up the Israeli State in terms of construction, agriculture, tourism etc.. I would suggest a better and much cheaper plan... If the Israeli parliament agrees to GRANT the "Palestinians" the Israeli citizenship, the "Palestinian" will love to be announced as Israeli citizens, the PA will fall down immediately providing that there's no more "Palestinians' to represent ! The Israeli population will increase and it will overlap the remnants of "Palestinians" who didn't opt for an Israeli citizenship. Israeli Economy will grow much bigger, Israel will clear it's bad image worldwide and it will appear as the country of Justice and Equity, the New Israeli citizens will be loyal and helpful to Israel, Israel will develop good relations with neighboring Arab countries and even other Islamic countries, Peace will overwhelm the whole middle east. How's that ?? Sounds good ?
56. $500000
abdel karim ,   palestinian territor   (01.05.13)
this is the most genius decision ever made in history ...indeed it must succeed ...given this much money, the majority will leave the west bank for good.but one thing i have to say :israel must do this on individual basis in private not in public ..for example ...getting theie emails and send them this offer without announcing it in public... do this please as soon as possible.
57. Grandiosity
Zechariah   (01.27.13)
Unfortunately Feiglins Medication needs urgent adjustment he first did not serve in an elite combat unit nor are his credentials for sanity secure.
58. Holocaust Survivors Deterrant Defense
Zechariah   (01.28.13)
The money first ought go to Holocaust Survivors and Deterrant Defense Feiglin is talking about billions of dollars.those Palestinians who have the capacity to live in peace with the Jews can stay.Syria is a model of hell .
