1400 homes is a drop in the bucket compared to what Israel will build if Palestinians don't accept a Jewish majority Israel. If the European cowards are looking for peace they should address the Palestinians.

israel will keep building as long as muslims refuse to recognise the jewish state and refuse to end the conflict with the jewish state. there is nothing that obama and the eurpeans can do about it. israel is surrounded with murderous islamic terrorists armed with a hundred thousand advanced missiles to the north and to the south. obama and the europeans now want to create a new terror state from where israel will be threatened by advanced missiles from the east. israel says no, thank you.

Israel must put this on hold until a deal (if possible) is reached.There will be a land swap and then they can move forward and build. As for now forget it--bad idea.

After THOUSANDS of years, they might as well get used to the idea of Jews in Judea.

These meeting, word and so and so will never change Israel's occupation policies but one huge sanction as done to South Africa can.

arab palestinian diplomats plant explosives and weapons in european missions, but the europeans support them. shame on europe.

The Euros go crazy with threats of sanctions, boycotts etc. When Syria bombs its own civilian population with barrel bombs and destroys homes (well over 1400!), they don't bat an eyelash. Hypocrisy of the lowest sort.

What if they don't want any land swap and demand what was stolen from them ? ,...

For decades, Israel's government has hidden incontrovertible legal proof Judea and Samaria are ours. Let us end this disgrace. It is time to serve the U.N.,E.U., world governments, media, NGOs, religious organizations with proof. Our foes won't be convinced, of course. But it would strengthen Israel greatly, encourage our friends and win us the support of all good fair peoople.

The Force is with The modern Religious and a land swap Can Even it out. Islamic Israel can stay as citizens and Rocky Shale oil rich solar energy areas could be allocated for security in The Jordan Valley for Most Jews and Some Arabs.

What proof do you have 1cm of Israeli Land is Stolen, how about Solid Facts instead of Anti-Semetic conjecture?

Presumably the Syrian ambassadors to these three countries will also be summoned and informed of the EU's displeasure at the illegal murder of 150000 of their fellow countrymen. Or is this type of reprimand only reserved for Jews?

Mr Erekat should explain his understanding of Apartheid as for all its faults Israel does not resemble any of the characteristics found in South Africa - no pass laws, no separate facilities for anything within Israel, universal sufferage no pronouncement of an Arab free Israel (unlike Mr Erekats view of a jew free Palestinian state) etc etc.Unfortunatley Mr Erekat rhetoric is rather passee.

...........and vice versa!!

Did somebody steal Jordan and Arabia when we weren't looking?

Since it changed South Africa to your liking why don't you go live there and then you can tell us how everything in South Africa is wonderful now.

I forgot to mention that the transfer of land not its inhabidents is not going to be well received by the "Israeli Arabs"--that's the problem--got nothing to do with any kind of stealing.They will opt to stay in Israel==what you say Split?

Lapid is showing his ignorance with his statement. My message to him and obama is simple. GET USED TO IT. There is not now nor ever will there be peace with arabs accepting Israel existence. Giving them land is just diminishing the size of Israel a bit at the time, until there will only Tel Aviv left to negotiate. and, as far as the Europeans are concerned? which one? the Germans? the British? the Spaniards? French?. Give me a break. When did they become honorable as far as Jews are concerned?. Lapid needs to go back to school and study Middle East and European history. Maybe then and only then he will get a little enlightenment before he makes idiotic comments. Bibi is no Sharon and is very indecisive for a leader but at least he grasps that the Muslim in the white house can not be trusted.

Europe persecuted Jews for centuries, and now they want to tell Jews they can't build in their own country? The West Bank and Gaza are part of Israel and can be annexed at any time. The peace process is dead and they may as well admit it. Hamas keeps firing rockets into Israel, then insists that it is Israel that is destroying the peace process. Forget about peace! Just keep building more settlements for Jews. It's OUR land, not theirs.

wait & see what will happen. patience is the name of the game, here.

besides a close relatives of yours virginity?

Your lies are becoming boring.Post a good joke instead.

Arabs have over 99.9% of ME land and 16% of world oil. Israel has less than 0.0% of ME land, no oil. If Israel wants an unmeasureable bit more of non-sovereign land, what is the damn problem???

Stolen in the Arabian peninsula you mean? That's the only place that's theirs

I am white and I don't want to go there and add one more white man. Apartheid is gone forever and the natives are free and now the Palestinians have to fight the Apartheid in Palestine and free themselves and this will happen very soon this year.

if you're white - that land is not yours! Stop your Apartheid!

Six million normal decent Israelis are being held hostage by 500,000 settlers living life on the hog. Already demanding extra funding from the Israeli taxpayer to protect their revenue streams when the boycott begins to bite. Netanyahu either needs to man up or break up the coalition and build one for peace for land. Something the majority of Israelis want
