1. YES. Why not the entire West Bank? Huh Bennett???
David ,   Jerusalem   (04.09.14)
It's ALL Jewish land. Annex the whole thing!!!!!!
2. Yesss!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.09.14)
Finally! Either way works for me -- settlement blocs or the entirety of Judea and Samaria. Either way, we will soon be rid of the terrorist rabble that has controlled our lives for far too long.
3. I Can Not Believe Nutty Yahoo Had the Nerve to Say
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (04.10.14)
""the Palestinians' grave violation of their commitments in the framework of the peace talks" The reality of course is it was Israel that violated the commitments when they refused to release the illegally held prisoners, as they had promised. Nutty Yahoo is a typical lying, racist, hasbarist, trying to cover up the for yet another Israeli re-nigging on an agreement. If Israel frequently re-nigs on their agreements, then why would anyone even want to have an agreement with them?
4. 50% of the world will support Samaria part of Israel.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (04.10.14)
5. Yeah, Bennett, let annex some
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (04.10.14)
Yeah, Bennett, let annex some West Bank lands and then begin to call the west bank the EAST BANK since it is our East Bank of the Jordan river. West Bank refers to when Jordan controlled it, it was their West Bank.
6. Aah Ben-Net greater than G-D: "...and that we are entering a new era”
enemy comes m.times from inside ,   Hybrisfraction   (04.09.14)
7. I am not sure who is less worthy....
History nut ,   Israel   (04.10.14)
people who won't exercise their right to govern a land won in 1967 or those that would claim the same land after they lost. Of course what moral authority do we have any more to recognize our Land? We must remain a semi-genetically pure nation after all.
8. Bennett Nutcase Suggestion Domestic Party Pressure
Zechariah   (04.10.14)
Bennett is Clever and annexation of the West Bank even Judea and Samaria is not good for Israel .Maybe Bit Shiker because of Russia .The Role for Judae and Samaria is Security is Paramount with an international Force including a Large number of Recruits Recruits IDF Jordanian Bedoin as Jordan supported the 1937 Partition Plans Covertly at Least but the Islamic Pronazis would have Killed the King and his Circle .Britain was for its Empire the Jews were Expendable .So much for the AngloPseudoChristian Upper Classes.
9. Texas belongs to Mexico
Mike ,   Edmonton, AB   (04.10.14)
How about USA giving back Texas to Mexico.
10. Annex it all
James ,   USA   (04.10.14)
What reasons do you need. I can think of dozens that are perfectly legitimate. Livini, you have outlived your usefulness and so has the US. If they want to keep paying for military aid, fine, if not, take things into the Jewish States hands while they have the upper hand militarily. The world will have to beg and pay Israel huge sums in order to get it to stop. Sounds like I am fed up with pampering the terror state Israel wants to create.
11. Mr. Bennett is a good and decent soul who only means well
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.10.14)
12. Latrun
Ami ,   Tel Aviv   (04.10.14)
Rather than annexing settlements just yet, an appropriate response to the PA's latest violation of the Oslo Accords would be annexation of the demilitarized zone around Latrun, plus Canada Park up to but not including Mevo Horon. If the PA continue to violate the Oslo Accords by making unilateral moves with the UN, then annex more.
13. 3rd way..2 States, 1. Greater Israel 2. Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.10.14)
14. Yuval Steinitz is afraid..he wants to undo Israel's cheating
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.10.14)
...on prisoner release, and release Palestinian prisoners now, if PA "cancel" its bid to join international conventions, and US gives up Pollard. Naftali Bennett, make my day, annex what you want, see you in the Hague, in Slobodan Miloševic's old cell. Tzipi Livni is the only sane person in Netanyahu's government, she knows Israel is losing badly on world stage, and PA will become majority population government, unless Israel stops the bleeding...settlers.
15. DEMAND from the PM? EXCELLENT!
Israeli 2   (04.10.14)
Will the PM comply? Probably not. Why? He has friends like Lapid, Livni and others on his side. Annex? Unthinkable! His wife has a lawsuit on his plate.
16. Wow Tzipi This Is The Greatest Comment
(04.09.14)
I have heard you say! Like Nike says, " Just Do It "
17. Tzipi blowing hot air
Aharon   (04.10.14)
Tzipi snarks that Bennett's idea would signal to the "palestinians" that Israel would give up on the rest of Judea and Samaria, however, she'd be happy giving up the eastern part of Jerusalem and the settlements for a peace agreement. Plus, if Caroline Glick's argument is valid, then annexing all of Judea and Samaria might not be that bad of a thing.
18. Great news!
Steve ,   Uk   (04.10.14)
One state for two people, is what we want and we want it now! Lets welcome our Arab brothers, and call the entity Israestine,. A jewish state is/ was a failed enterprise and hasn't been able to secure peace in 60 years. Israel is not the custodian of the jewish people, there are alternative.
19. He is one what MOSES would have let in the desert..

20. He is one what MOSES would have let in the desert..
(04.10.14)
21. Naftali Bennett out of touch with reality
Haim   (04.10.14)
A prime reason why we must separate state from religion, before the religious extremists destroy the state
22. Livni: first sensible statement she made
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (04.10.14)
There will never be peace with muslim Arabs who set out to conquer the world That is not an emotional statement but a fact. The emotional capital is spent by anyone who believes peace is possible unless they rewrite the Koran
23. "Why not annex entire West Bank?" - Tzipi Livni
Jake ,   USA   (04.09.14)
Livni: Why not annex the entire West Bank? Answer: Because the Israeli left is a racist bunch and they don't want a state with a 1:2 Arab minority.
24. On the topic of "losing everything we love"
Jake ,   USAj   (04.10.14)
Livni disingenuously says that retaining Judea & Samaria would force a transition to a bi-national state, and we will "lose everything we love". How wrong she is! Israel including the West Bank has a 2:1 Jewish majority, and we love the LAND more than we love the Bolshevik dynasty of traitors in the Israeli establishment who are so desperate to trade our national heartland for the false promise of US security & friendship.
25. Annexation
Joe ,   Israel   (04.10.14)
Mazal Tov!And then we will have one Israel (or Palestine) with a chronic Arab problem.
26. Ck it out Most Arabs Want Israeli Rule
AskThem..NotTheMedia ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.10.14)
Anyone working in the Arab sector will tell you , most Palestinians are so fed up with corruption of their leaders over the years they now openly and without fear say "we want and prefer to be under Israeli rule some way" Israel may not be perfect they say but it is far far better than what we have You can hear this on any street in those areas today there is only one place you wont hear it ...in the Israeli media !
27. In the absence of talks between us and the Arabs, Israel...
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.10.14)
...ought to take the initiative and begin to incorporate Area C into the sovereign nation-state of Israel. Such a move, while best done in cooperation with the Arabs of the country, is very much grounded in international law which as early as 1920 assigned the whole area from the Jordan River to the Med. Sea to be the national home of the Jewish people, i.e. the Jewish people's nation-state. This legal act was then reiterated in 1922 and finally adopted by the UN and etched into its Charter, 1945. Of particular interest is the fact that the late Mr. Yitzhaq Rabin's vision of peace was precisely along the very same lines. This can be examined by reading Rabin's speech at the Knesset, 5 Oct. 1995; his last one at the house and as if it was meant to be his political will. I hope even the Obama/Kerry duo will have the humility to read and appreciate the fact that Rabin knew a thing or two about the region in general and about the Arab Israeli conflict in particular, something that they simply don't posses, despite the arrogance demonstrated so far.
28. fool
zionist forever   (04.10.14)
if we annex Judea & Samaria we have no choice but to also annex the millions of arab residents and anybody who thinks we can keep the Jewish state concept and adopt millions of arabs is either an idiot or fooling themselves and this is why no government on either the right or left has ever made any effort to annex it in 67 years.
29. Bennet is right,Livni should find herself a real JOB
Anna M sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (04.10.14)
Bennet is totally right to ask to for the west Bank to be part of Israel; Livni has prouven to be a failure,she is not good for Polotics and she has not talent for it..she should find herself a real job,where she can prouven herself to be fitted.....Sorry for her she cannot get rich out of Israelies misfortunes and truble s.....Israel is a Nation and the west Bank has been always part of Israel Land..
30. YES ! let's annex and give citizenship to Palestinians
Non Jewish Immigrant ,   Haifa   (04.10.14)
Full rights for Palestinians No Jewish country!
