and to ALL JEWS for his terrible blunder of blaming innocent Jews for the fire which was found to have been caused by an electric short circuit and for which innocent Jews are jailed? Will you Mr. Rivlin?

since when does anyone have the right to chase inhabitants out of their place of abode?

No, this baal lashon horah will not apologize. He participated in the blood libel because he was told to, or because it was "fashionable' He may indeed love the land, but he is morally bankrupt and such apology would ring hollow, as the damage is vast and evil can not always be easily undone

New reports show that the fire was caused by an electrical problem probably aggravated by local Arab family feuding but blamed on settlers because it is believable. Let us get updated.

For 50 or more years he has been involved in politics especially veteren Jerusalem politics, where was he over those years when he and the Likud allowed tens of thousands of Hebronites to settle in the historic parts of Jerusalem ?? He and they looked the other way as the Arabs "bought" residence rights in those areas that now make Jewish Jerusalemites lives hell areas that could have been Jewish neighborhoods this guy is a dangerous clown !

What a comment from an American settler that has done exactly what you are whining about. We have the RIGHT because they are illegal alien colonists occupying our lands. The Arabs are not the natives anymore than you are. We happen to be the natives of the land and yes we do have that right.

The Arab League had no qualms about chasing the Jewish residents of Judea,Samaria and eastern Jerusalem from their homes when they illegally invaded in 1948.That is,when they didn't kill them on the spot. Jewish settlers have no right to chase Arab residents from their long established homes,but they do have the right to closely settle the WHOLE of Mandate Palestine from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River as long as they don't infringed others rights.I am merely telling you what is allowed and encouraged by the League of Nations' and UN's 'Mandate for Palestine' which is the definitive International Law on the issue.You should read it. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Mr. " Rivlin says its a national right! I agree and so does the rest of the world, the problem is Jews only National Right. Why are communities ie: settlements built for Jews only? why are they not open to the general population? why cant a Palestinian from the west bank live in a settlement home if he can afford to buy one. The discrimination is what rubs everyone the wrong way! Jews have a right, but so does the rest. Be equal and be fair, the rest of the world will stop complaining.

The world has moved on no longer tolerates the annexation of land. understand people who want to expand Israel to the borders described in the bible. However theses borders were never achieved. To take land illegally is not acceptable in today's world. Illegal action will only isolate Israel from the rest of the world, a disastrous situation. expansion by legal means only Israel must be a law abiding nation

I can not believe that this madness continues ... greed and delusion plus messianic lunacy!

Maybe write your own articles and not from AFP which is lying. There is no basis in international law to define the green line as a legal border. This is clear from the Jordan Israel armistice agreement. Fact is that only around 20% of the land was privately owned BY THE 1940'S and all the rest is for POSSIBLE Jewish settlement according to Mandate, UN Charter etc. Even Res 242 makes no mention of Palestinian state or even a people for that matter. Oslo Agreement signed by the EU nations also makes clear that Area C is under full Israeli control including building. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM AND JEWS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE OR CLEAR LYING. You should be ashamed of yourself

whatsoever. In fact, all pals are Arabs and their descendants who occupied Israel illegally as alien Arab squatters. Time the pals leave all of Israel and, they will as soon as the pals 'leader' obama is gone from office. ( which can't come soon enough.) LOVE BUILDING JEWISH ALL JEWISH ISRAEL BABY !

The world could care less about the terrorists pals in fact, the pals are both hated and are finis... Broke divided, nothing but six lost wars with Israel that they and their 'Arab' friends began. Winning a war gave Israel her land BACK. Don't argue with Israel argue with Israel's G-d the G-d who chose Israel and the Jews he gave and promised and gave the land of Israel to. Or, argue with the g-d of the Arabs who keeps losing ground and wars. He must be out to lunch. KEEP BUILDING !!

was written of eons before it happened. You really need to reeducate yourself bub. There is no west bank but, there is Judea and Samaria which King David united to Israel over 3,000 years ago. Bet France didn't teach you that....In fact, all France taught US all was how to raise her hands in defeat. She Italy, and all of "Nazi occupied Europe." Easy to tell a Frenchman at the beginning of a war, he's the one with his hands in the air. ( and his ass exposed to the elements.') LOVE BUILDING AND WINNIGN !!!

The legal right vested in the Jewish people to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) was conferred on the Jews by the unanimous vote of all 51 member states of the League of Nations in 1922 and has been preserved by article 80 of the United Nations Charter
