1. Pursuing The Nationalists, But Not The Islamists
Adina kutnicki ,   US   (05.02.06)
The regime never learns its lessons. While the 'legality' of the home is in dispute, what does a Jewish ? regime continue to do to its Jewish residents? It creates all manner of incitement and provocation towards them. HOWEVER, when it comes to truly illegal Arab homes, the regimes does nada, zip, zilch. If they spent a fraction of the time pursuing the jihadists as they do the nationalist Jews, the terror war would be down to a whimper. I hope that the regime backs down, otherwise they are looking for bloodshed.

10. ARABS FAVORED. ALLOWED MEGA THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL BUILDINGS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.03.06)
THE SELF DESTRUCT DOUBLE STANDARD by Yoram Ettinger, January 20, 2006 Illegal Arab construction has become a norm, led by the Palestinian Authority (many PA officials reside in illegal homes), bankrolled by Saudi petrodollars and observed by the wide-closed eyes of Israel. Illegal construction has become an effective means to challenge Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, to undermine major infrastructure and housing projects in the Negev and Galilee, to limit the freedom/security of Jewish movement along major transportation arteries, to facilitate terrorism and to exacerbate crime. Over 1,000 illegal houses are built annually – by Jerusalem Arabs – since 1997. Only 30-40 are demolished by the authorities. About 10,000 illegal houses are built, annually, by "Green Line" Arabs in the Galilee, Negev, "Triangle", Lod and Ramleh. About 100 are demolished. Since 1967, there has been more Arab residential (largely illegal) construction in Jerusalem than Jewish construction in the capital of the Jewish State. But, Israel is enforcing the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses throughout Judea & Samaria and Hebron (built on a Jewish-registered property, which was ravaged by Arabs in 1929). Legal and governance impotence have characterized Israel's battle against illegal Arab construction, which threatens Israel's sovereignty and the rule of law in Jerusalem and all over the country. Palestinian documents, found at the PLO's "Orient House", highlight illegal construction as a key instrument in the campaign to erode the Jewish character of Jerusalem. According to the documents, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has enticed illegal construction in Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods of Shoafat, Beit Haninah and A-Zaim, in order to prevent continuity between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Pisgat Ze'ev, and to avert the unification of Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adoumim. Illegal construction is raging along Highway 443, the critical road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with the aim to transform it into an Arab road, threatening the security of Jewish transportation. While a 1999 Palestinian document anticipated that Israel was determined "to demolish 400-500 illegal houses in Beit Haninah and Shoafat", a 2000 document notified the PA that "no need to worry", since Israel would only demolish a few houses, and illegal construction could proceed with full speed ahead. For instance, illegal construction in the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Silwan has been a platform for intensified terrorism and felony. Forging real estate titles has proliferated in the Arab sector, robbing state-owned land as well as privately owned Arab land, fueling extortion, protection, gang-wars and the importation of illegal Arab residents from Hebron and other towns to Jerusalem – a fertile ground for terrorism.
11. They are NOT illegally occupying. They are true LEGAL owners
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.03.06)
This CRUEL and FRIGHTENING ideology that punishes Jews for not being Muslim must stop.
12. HEBRON - The FIRST JEWISH CITY & SECOND IN JEWISH HOLINESS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.03.06)
Respect is always given to Muslims! No one ever tries to steal Islamic land and Islamic sacred places! No one is trying to force Muslims out of Mecca and Medina! This CRUEL and FRIGHTENING IDEOLOGY that PUNISHES JEWS for NOT BEING MUSLIM MUST STOP! From: The Jerusalem Post, Nov 16, 2005 'The case for Mitzpe Shalhevet' by David Wilder "...The market was finally shut down following an attempted terrorist attack: Arabs placed a booby-trapped teddy bear in a plastic bag in the market near the entrance to the Jewish neighborhood, hoping a Jewish child, finding it, would play with it and be killed in the ensuing explosion. Despite numerous requests by our community to rent the structures, the site has been left vacant. On March 26, 2001, at the beginning of the Oslo War an Arab sniper shot and killed 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass. Following the murder, Hebron children began utilizing the abandoned Arab shuk as a place to play and take cover during shooting attacks from the overlooking Abu Sneneh Hills. Over a period of time, the Hebron community invested tens of thousands of dollars to convert the former fruit and vegetable stalls into livable apartments. Presently, the former market, renamed the Mitzpe Shalhevet neighborhood, houses Hebron families and a Torah study hall opened in Shalhevet's memory. Mitzpe Shalhevet is presently on the brink of obliteration, not by Arabs, but by the government..."
13. ......mmm is this reminds me of Palestine???!
Neutral ,   Jerusalem   (05.03.06)
First of all, it's very clear that they have to get out of the occupied homes. Second, those who defended the terrorists settlers have the same terror way of thinking, the policy is to steal land and keep lieing that it was to their nations from .... years. Third, this incident, and others similar, say that Palestine is all occupied lands, and it's better to move all settlers from it. Forth, there are more than one way to fight for ones legal rights, by court and .....
14. the end of the settlers!
Shai ,   T-A   (05.03.06)
We are fed up to serve in the territories to defend the settlers, to spend our money for them and to accept their hooliganism against the palestinians. The law has to be inforced on all the israeli citizens. Anyway, in the territories which are occupied - only extremists deny it -, the Geneva conventions state that colonisation is illegal.
15. Efrat, Get Your Facts Straight--A7:"boughl" totally legal
Brana Lobel ,   USA   (05.03.06)
What's the point of reading your article when it is misleading and inaccurate. I suggest that readers go to A-7 and see what is honestly written. This apartment house was purchased with completely legality. It is a shame for Jews to be treated thus in our own country. Shame!
16. This cruel and frightening ideology
Rustum ,   London   (05.03.06)
What absolute total nonsense plastered in this forum by Linda Rivera. What total blindness enables her to think that the inhabitants of Hebron who are not Jewish are "favoured". I would challenge her to walk down any street of HEbron and say to a Palestinian that they are "favoured" with non-eviction and that they are some form of economic migrants who only arrived in the shadow of Zionist immigration. Then she would meet the reaction that she truly deserves. 1,000 little pieces or 10,000 little pieces. At least we would all then be free of her bellicose and pathetically pseudo-philosemitic rantings.
17. #16 I see you belong to the peaceful religion of Islam
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.03.06)
For a non-Muslim infidel to speak words that are disliked is a reason for barbarism and murder.

Thank You
19. Ms Rivera's "non-Muslim infidel"
Rustum ,   London   (05.03.06)
Actually, your fundamental (more stress on mental than funda) accusations and your blood lust for Armageddon have dazzled your intellect. You can speak words that are disliked, of course, but they are disliked because they are odious, racist, scatological nonsense, which posits that the Israeli state is 150% correct (unless it retreats from a maximalist position) and that anything else is worse than scum. The knee-jerkism of your responses is sickening - and the implication in your every posting - that every dead goy is a mitzvah is so far from the essence of Judaism as to be risible. Now as for Hebron - it is a festering sore and none your simplistic sloganeering has any relevance to the situtation - but much relevance to your doomsday fantasy.
20. Rustum (#19)
sk ,   USA   (05.04.06)
Rustum, your comments regarding Linda are simultaneously rabid and vacuuous. For example, "You can speak words that are disliked, of course, but they are disliked because they are odious, racist, scatological nonsense ..." What the hell are you talking about? Have you been bitten by any wild animals lately?
21. #3 & 14 (Shai)
sk ,   USA   (05.04.06)
Shai, you talk a lot about "the law," but somehow you never produce specifics on "the law" in question. Might it be that you viscerally hate observant Jews and would do anything to make them miserable or even to kill them?
22. The Yassamniks mass
sk ,   USA   (05.04.06)
It looks like Ynet (the online version of "Israel's leading paper") doesn't consider Hebron "news" anymore. So, here's a link that discusses what is happening there now. You see, Shai, Israel is not a land of laws, and it cannot be, because laws constrain both the authorities and the people. Israeli's authorities will not be constrained. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=103055
