1. Bravo Israel!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (08.11.13)
That's the spirit, this indicates what is a reality, every nation must build to grow and no other nation can dictate where and what another nation may build on their own land. No time since WW11 have Jews been so persecuted for BBJ, being born Jewish. Brilliant move by Israel the cost isn't just in money, Israel's releasing pal terrorists that will unfortunately, again, cost her as all the pals do is terror as they care incapable of governing themselves successfully. Happy Day! KEEP BUILDING !!!!!!
2. I hope there will be more BDS campain
(08.11.13)
from Europe and the US. Israelis are loosers big time!!!
3. Will give Palestinian leaders sense of urgency
Sam ,   Canada   (08.11.13)
For the Palestinian leaders who don't want more building this building should give them a good indication of what is to come in the future-lots more building. Either they want to make peace or not. The ball is in their court. Nobody is going to hand them the country.Israel isn't South Africa. There is no such mindset among Jews.
4. Yes!
Sceptic ,   US   (08.11.13)
5. Yea, "Build baby Build"
Rob ,   D.C,,, David's City   (08.11.13)
Soloman, "The Wise" did use the "Jinn" to build,,,,,, "This and That", "Those and "them" to build for him, "Fillness of The Gentiles". Everything goes back to the Lord.
6. How about more homes for young couples in the center
Devorah ,   Rehovot   (08.11.13)
how about building arrordable housing for young couples in the center of the country? All the time new homes in the occupied terrotries for the harideem and religious. The goverment seems to have forgotten those that live and work in the center of the country who pay taxes and serve in the IDF. Quite obvioulsy you have to be a religious extremist to qualify for housing. No wonder so many young people are moving abroad.
7. #2
Michael ,   Haifa   (08.11.13)
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Only when the passive and disinterested Israeli is severely hit in the pocket by international economic sanctions, will he begin to understand how Israel's psychopathic government is destroying our country from within
8. Israel is execising its right! Well Done!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (08.11.13)
9. I don't mind to declare and to build
Igor ,   T"A   (08.11.13)
I understand do not declare and do not build. But to declare, not to build and get a condemnation of the world - it's definitely our unique way.
10. Settler homes?
Ron ,   Efrat, Israel   (08.11.13)
The main page headline says "1200 new settler homes to be built". The article goes on to say that 2/3 of them (800) are to built in the capital, Jerusalem. Does YNet consider residents of the capital to be settlers? With friends like this.....
11. Lapid criticized the move calling it a "big mistake."
Steve Klein   (08.11.13)
It seems to me, Finance Minister Yair Lapid and his party are NOT looking out for Israel's welfare. Am I wrong?
12. Ben Gurion
miklos ,   Lund   (08.11.13)
Have seen a u tube video wth Ben Gurion in the centrum of Jerusalem after the 48 war . he was good and realistic in his policy.If had a prime minister of his kaliber would have a signed Peace treaty with those involved in the war of 48 49
13. #10 it goes to show
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.11.13)
that for the extreme Left "rule of law" means nothing. They don't care what laws they break, as long as they can surrender to Fatah and end the Jewish presence in the Middle East.
14. Israel shooting in its foot
(08.11.13)
Israel is shooting itself in its foot! Excluding itself more and more from the rest of the world...
15. # 1 is right. Michael is wrong
Mohammad Said ,   Ramallah Israel   (08.11.13)
Thank you, Build Baby Build. You are so right. Settlements bring progress to Judea and Samaria and jobs and skilled people to mingle with us. We Palestinians want to help you to build this country. Forget about Two States. Our place is here besides you, as equal citizens and rights. When we reach the number of 40% of Arab Knesset MK, after annexation, inshall'ah, people like you should be commended for struggling to see the glorious union between Jews and Palestinians. Thank you so much for your posts. Keep on the good job.
16. Israelis don't want peace.
Mark ,   Cleveland USA   (08.11.13)
Put more Jews over the green line, and the Arabs will simply try to kill them. At this point, if I were Arab, I might do the same.
17. YEEAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! THAT'S the way I
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.11.13)
like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
18. Finally some sanity in Israel's Government. B U I L D !
Rotem ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
No more bending under the ridicules president of the US or the Antisemitic European Union, UN or any left winged idiots and "Human Rights" organizations. Israel belong to Jews! The ENTIRE Israel!!! Anyone who respect that and want to live here is welcome, but those who don't - the door out is widely open - feel free to leave!
19. UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!!
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
No more games. No more B.S. This tiny land is ours. This tiny land has been ours for more than 3,500 years. Countless world leading international lawyers have incontrovertibly proven this land is ours. Let every good Jew, Israeli patriot and true friend of Israel unite and demand UNLIMITED Jewish building throughout Judea and Samaria NOW!!
20. WHY..WHY..WHY?
les ,   canada   (08.11.13)
you people are calling jewish people, living in israel, building their country "settlers"? this gives an extra reason to western antisemites to incite against israel. citizens of israel should be able to build and live ANYWHERE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL!
21. released murderers+new building=more murdered Israelis
Just Askin' ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
Will someone explain how that is good for the Jews? Netanyahu's negotiations are killing us.
22. Mark @16: you remind me of Ehud Barak
Steve   (08.11.13)
You say if you were an Arab, you might do the same; i.e., murder Jews. In an interview a few years back, former Prime Minister Barak said: " If I were a Palestinian at the right age, I would have joined one of the terrorist organizations at a certain stage." You and Barak would have been suicide bombers. Maybe you would have joined those who flew those planes into the World Trade Center towers, 9/11/2001? After all, Osama bin Laden and other devout Muslims (like the Palestinian Muslims) had legitimate grievances against the United States, didn't he?
23. Build more in the Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (08.11.13)
Israel should be building not just 1200homes but millions of homes all over Judea and Samaria-the Land of Israel. It is Israel's Land since ancient time. GOD gave and restored the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel from Diaspora and make the desolate land bloom again as its Prophets Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Isaiah had prophesied 2700 years ago. This Prophecy was fulfilled in the 20th century. No mortals should dare tamper with GOD'S Covenant with the Children of Israel.
24. All that is appropriate.....
Calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (08.11.13)
Every race have a history with few identification attachments such as country of origin, race and language. Then history itself have the power to witness, a race at least do have and at least possessed A piece of Land name as a country. A country that have their forefathers names on it. That rights prevail into every conscious of mankind. God bless Israel and her Capital - JERUSALEM
25. #21: Just Askin'
Steve   (08.11.13)
Releasing terrorist murderers is bad; evil even. Building in the land of Israel is good. How are the negotiations going? They are schizophrenic. Why doesn't this prime minister tell the Americans a Palestinian state in Israel is out of the question? Some other solution needs to be found. Why doesn't he tell the Americans a Palestinian state in Israel will be a mortal threat to the Jews?
26. Way to go!
We're with you   (08.11.13)
We need more of the old wonderful idealism that filled the country thirty or so years ago. Nerds and nachnachim have been allowed to take over for far too long. Enough is enough. We Israelis need to come back to our altneu israeli idealism. Enough of wishy washy tuchas lecking to any one who hates Israel, from within our midst, and those outside. The first are the most despicable. Go to our enemies, you lot, and stay there .
27. Nice words - do you actually believe it?
Israeli 2   (08.11.13)
"to be built"? I believe it when I see it.
28. Why so few and so late? Why should anyone giver us, Jews,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.11.13)
right to construct housing in our homeland of 4,000 years, and in the only capital city we have had: Zion/Jerusalem? It is time to move on and talks: Peace-for-Peace.
29. New construction in...
Avi ,   NYC   (08.11.13)
Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. This is a Jewish site.
30. the way to bring peace with the palestinians
zionist forever   (08.11.13)
Stop building settlements and instead start killing thousands of them and destroying the cities in which they live. The world won't mind if we wipe them out using military force as long as we do not build any settlements while we do it.
