1. Lady Ashton
Mendoza ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (10.31.13)
Pray tell madam, what are the Brits doing in the Falklands ?
2. EU is like our former ...
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.31.13)
... ..leftist government. Every year when the deportation av people with jewish faith were to be commemorated at the site where DONAU was docking, the leftist government was represented by a member with well-known hostility against Israel, to make the government-speech. Looks like the EU is following the similar way of behavior... So please, mrs Asthon, ride into the sunset on you horse.... else she should stay and tell us the wrongdoing of abu mazen.
3. Homes for people in need
Jouni Suonsivu ,   Finland   (10.31.13)
As a Finnish citizen I'm delighted to read Israel will build in Jerusalem neighbourhoods and in certain villages and towns across Judea and Samaria. Every country needs to build new homes, especially as the population is growing. It's just natural to build on your own soil, and capital cities just tend to grow. Catherine Ashton's voice is heard all around, can't deny that. It's one of official voices, well. However, Israelis do well in remembering that individual citizens like me, we are millions, who stand for Israel and want from our Union a balanced approach in the long evity conflict between Israelis and Arabs: that balanced approach we, unfortunately, haven't yet seen.
4. Ashton
Neil Tokayer ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.31.13)
Why would anyone care what a European has to say after the Holocaust? Israel will lecture her on morality, while she must shut up and should be begging us for forgiveness. So far, with her track record, we cannot forgive her and her ancestors. She must come to us and ask what is right, she and all of Europe has forfeited any right to preach morality to the Jewish State. She must shut up and follow our lead.
5. Where are her condemnations of Abbas' daily undermining
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (10.31.13)
Where are her condemnations of Abbas' daily undermining negotiations by trying to get other governments to pre-determine the outcome of the negotiations?
6. #4
Mike ,   UK   (10.31.13)
"She must shut up and follow our lead" Very funny! Israel is hardly in any position to 'lead' anyone, lol!!
7. Can she actually name the law it is against?
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (10.31.13)
As Israel is building in land that was originally designated for Israel that was later liberated from Jordanian occupation; what law is being broken by Israel building in Israel?
8. Tough shit: we "deplore" you Madam, but have to live with it
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.31.13)
9. And I condemn EU
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (10.31.13)
10. Netanyahu always promise bilding more houses
JGad   (10.31.13)
And i havent seen this proyects yet. I really hope he stop saying lies to israelis. I approve every building proyects in Jerusalem and israeli settlements. And please tell to mrs ashton to mind her own bussiness in Europe, here is Israel , well at least that its what i would have answer her if i was Israel Prime Minister
11. When will mr. Ugly and her evil ilk
Mira ,   Vienna   (10.31.13)
realize eventually that Jerusalem is NOT to be disputed?
12. EU double standard
nadav ,   tlv   (10.31.13)
Does the EU condemn building in Kashmir, Jamu, Western Sahara, Northern Cyprus, Tibet, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, South Kurile islands. Nagorno Karabak, Gibraltar, Northern Ireland, Corsica, Malvinas, and Basque lands? ALL those territories are disputed or outright occupied yet there is NO EU condemnation, NO EU threats to economic relations with the occupying power and no claims of obstructing any so called peace processes... WHY single out Israel? I think we ALL know the reason why- it starts with an "a" and ends in an "ism"
13. Ashton thinks if she keeps repeating a lie it will come true
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.31.13)
Israel is not in violation of international law for building in Judea & Samaria since it has not been part of a sovereign state since ancient Israel. Many professionals on international law have come to the same conclusion. The territories are in dispute & the Arabs do not have exclusive rights to them.
14. Mrs Ashton please hide your face
Guido ,   Milano Italy   (10.31.13)
I am against the burqa for any woman to wear. Only exception, Mrs Ashton. Your face is so unpleasant to see. Please please spare us.
15. Time has passed to have tongue in cheek !
Roland ,   London England   (10.31.13)
A more aggressive stance is required to make the world sympathetic to our situation in the cause of 'Peace'.We have for many years been pretending that enemies are our friends.Abbas is the number One who would stab us in the back given the chance,and so would Catherine Ashton.We must not play around any longer,or the Country will suffer the consequences.
16. Lady Ashton
RayS ,   USA   (10.31.13)
Lady Ashton and her fellow putrid anti-semites continue their efforts to reduce Israel. I hope Israelis pay no heed to these enablers of evil. It is Israeli land . Build on it.
17. One State - Non Jewish - Democratic
World Citizen ,   the world   (10.31.13)
Multi-Ethnic It is coming because Israel doesn't want a two state solution. And in the end that one state will be ruled by the Palesinian people. Viva Palestine and the indigenous Palestinian people.
18. If I was Ashton
Raphael ,   Paris France   (10.31.13)
If I was Ashton, I think I'd commit suicide ! I think she never saw any mirror ! Otherwise, she'd already killed herself...
19. Because the Lady is a tramp
norbus ,   jerusalem   (10.31.13)
Brainwashed and bought with a large EU pension as she was bought by Tony Blair with a title. A high class ugly whore whose principles comprise Karl Marx and Money. The Brits and French Fcuked up a done deal which was accepted by Faisal , till Picot Sykes put their boot in On my way back from London today. You won't believe how pissed off the natives are by the PC politicians who engineered a tragic decline of a once proud people Cameron, Clegg and the likes of Ashton and Barroso have sold out They will be the SHAMED in the annals of history who sold out to the 4th Reich for money and pensions
20. STRANGE!!!!
gordon ,   paris   (10.31.13)
When the Pal's terrorists kill Israeli citizens, this is not considered as an obstacle to peace, but when Israel builds houses.......no, actually it is not strange, it shows the normal mindset of the Western "leaders"1
21. #17, One Middle East, Non-Muslim, Non-Arab, agree?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.31.13)
22. how little most know
elke ,   USA   (10.31.13)
Constantly amazed at the national ...blindness...ignorance...amnesia? "Ashton and Europe should shut up because of the Holocaust." Really? Britain spilled plenty of blood fighting the Nazis in WWII and supported a "Jewish homeland" IN Palestine. Plus, how pitiful that there is little recognition that in addition to 6 million Jews, 5 million other Europeans were killed in the Holocaust. "Israel is building on land originally designated for Israel." False. A complete lie. Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem were NEVER within the boundaries of Israel in any of the four partition plans proposed between 1937 and 1947. Those areas were NOT within the territory described as Israel's in the UN resolution accompanying Israel's declaration of statehood. "It's our ancestral homeland." Hebrews and Israelites (not identical with today's Jews) ruled over these areas for only 513 years of a 3,300 year history. Prior to 1948, they had not ruled there since 63 BCE -- the Bronze Age. Other people of other faiths held those lands for 2,500 years; they were "homeland" to scores of others, not only Hebraic tribes.
23. tell her to shut up or we will withdraw all business and sci
ralph   (10.31.13)
science involvement. all meds and diagnostic and internet technology.
24. #17,#21 In your dreams.Only Jewish majority state acceptable
Sam ,   Canada   (10.31.13)
Jews won't accept any solution that doesn't leave a Jewish majority state. There is no debate among Jews about that. Palestinians eventually will get that through their heads.
25. Reply to #19
JGad   (10.31.13)
The same schmuck title was before for Mr Javier Solana from Spain, he wrote on his twitter one day that Syrian army killed more arab citizens in that country than in all the Israeli wars with palestinians. He received a lot of likes for his comment until i replied to him that Putin believes hi was the owner of Syria, snd i asked him why he does ot compare the Syrian war to all the european incurssions like afganistan by russians, yugoslavia etc. and i reply to him in his language spanish, but he did not answer because all thise europeans are " hipocritas"! But there you have, all of sudden Putin convince the syrian president to destroy all the chemical arms of mass destruction, but Mr. solana ignored my twitter reply, thats politics. Have a nice day sir!
26. How about a Euro word of praise for releasing terrorists?
Andi ,   Israel   (10.31.13)
or is that too much to ask?
27. Send back those terrorists and the deal is off
Harel   (10.31.13)
Kerry's deal was no freeze but a prisoner release. If the building is such a problem send back those terrorists and the building order can be cancelled.
28. Settlements for Murderers
Zechariah   (10.31.13)
So settlements are swapped for murderers tho I suppose the Arabs argue there are plenty of Jews who murdered Arab civilians ,And the Palestinians will get jobs .
29. Jerusalem
Max ,   Washington DC   (10.31.13)
Is Ashton also proposing to divide Berlin again?
30. ASHTON: FAIR, UNBIASED, NEUTRAL?
joyce fraser ,   USA   (10.31.13)
not in this lifetime, and not in this or any parallel universe. This hate-filled 'piece of nastiness', wouldn't mind another mass slaughter of the Jewish minority people and/or their "re-ghetto-ization". In fact, she continues to facilitate as much harm to Israel and to Jews' security as she is able. Ashton's hostility, hate, anger, etc, is as plain as her face!
