31. ISRAEL - Get out from West Bank !! Enough is Enough
David ,   NY   (12.28.06)
Every American is getting sick out of the Israeli occupation to the west bank !! come on, get the hell out of there !!
32. Jew-haters can't tolerate Jews living ANYWHERE on this earth
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.28.06)
33. this for $100M
palestinian   (12.28.06)
so this is why olmert gave back $100M of palestinian money to abbasse...will it be enough to shut him up...oh wait and this will be followed with the release of some of abbasse's thugs ... of course that is so long as abbasse keeps his mouth shut about the new settlement and the others to follow
34. Just Say No !
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.28.06)
Will the Jews quietly allow themselves to be herded into the new holocaust by the world. They say nothing about Plaestinians building homes or firing Kassems into Israel ,killing and maiming Jews. But the hypocrites in the U.S. and E.U. are quick to restrain Israel and keep the Jews weak and defeated. JUST SAY NO TO THE WORLD and tell Bush to butt out of Israel's national sovereignty.l.
35. To Linda: The US gives PA weapons!
MARK ,   USA   (12.28.06)
That encourages Hamas to smuggle more weapons into Gaza. Those weapons will be used to kill Jews!
36. EU AND USA NEED TO SHUT UP
Carol ,   USA   (12.28.06)
Israel needs to tell usa, eu and un to go pound sand. They all need to keep their noses out of Israel's business!
37. Why?
Peter ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.28.06)
It is unfortunate that many think that because Europe condemns it it must be the right thing to do. While I do not argue in favour of Europes treatment of Israel, I also do not favour the religious zealots who claim Israel (and all it) based on Gods promise. They are no different than the muslims that claim Israel and claim only allah can relenquish it. With these people in charge, we will never no peace. The reality is there can be no peace with setllement. None. Sign on to the Geneva accord, lets force the issue. Force the Palestinians to accept it. Force our arab neighbours to publically accept us. Normalize relations with a demiliraized Palestine and live rather than die. I am not naive. I do not presume it to be that simple. But why Israel continues to allow its Orthodox minority to make trouble by expanding settlement and antagonizing the Palestinians and the world is beyond me. Next thin you know Netanyahu is going to be back in power. Than we can all send our kids to die.
38. It's our country, dammit!
Steven ,   Israel and USA   (12.28.06)
And we have the right to build or not build where we choose.
39. No To Interference
Brod ,   USA   (12.28.06)
It is NONE of the business of other countries to interfere in Israel's internal affairs and national security interests. Israel is a sovereign country and has all the rights in the world to develop its own Biblical and Historic homeland of Judea and Samaria which Israel defended and regained from the Arab Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in 1967. Other countries should stop being manipulated by the latent hands of Islamist-Jihadist states in interfering in Israel's sovereignty and internal affairs.
40. Road Map nonsense -- What peace?
Alan O. ,   SIlver Spring USA   (12.28.06)
Ever notice how the "world" gets ticked off at any supposed Israeli deviation from the "Road Map" and no one (including the leftist Israeli press) cares that neither Fatah nor Hamas has implemented any road map condition? From teaching hatred on "Palestinian" Arab TV to Hamas' 100% anti-peace policies, where's the road map in Ramallah or Gaza City? Meanwhile, on the road to peace, Islamic Jihad is promising even more terror.
41. how u like me now
1.5 Billion Muslims   (12.28.06)
Reality Check , world
42. Road Map for Peace?
john ,   nz   (12.28.06)
Does it really exists in the Middle East? I say, it's one of rare ocassions where EU n US have to behave unbiased.
43. eu and usa upset
harold ,   usa   (12.28.06)
as an american i look at the roadmap as a guide to suicide. bush thinks israel is a suburb of crawford texas,with his lacky olmert as his servent. all four entities that created the roadmap are anti semite including the usa. as a history buff i find that everything the usa gov. says you shouldnt do, it has done hardily itself. you are told you should allow a palistinian state beside you, but in our case our gov. murdered whole tribes of indians ,put them in mass graves,took their land and sang this is your land, this is my land.,it preaches not what it practices. bush keeps saying we dont deal with terrorist, but all you have to do is reclassify them to parteners and shazam now you can invite them to washington like my gov. did the plo. i am quite surprised olmert hasnt done that with hamas yet. if he doesnt know how ,im sure bush can give him lessons. arent we realist?
44. So important? Stupid people
Ilan ,   Ariel   (12.28.06)
With all the problems of the world 35 people building homes seems so trivial and unimportant. It is not as if Israel is planning on leaving the Jordan Valley in any case. It is pure phobia, Jew Hatred, pure and simple.
45. Seriously, grow some beytzim
Ari   (12.28.06)
read the title. enough already with taking instructions from the EU and the US. Tell them to mind their own god damn business.
46. israel the beloved
harold ,   usa   (12.28.06)
to #24 i was reading your talkback and i was struck at the insight you have. do you remember how the word of God fortold of the armies that would surround the LORDS holy city and the judgement that awaits them. in ezekiel 35 to 40 we find gog which is modern day russia coming with her arab hoards to destroy your nation,and the scriptures say 5 out of 6 of them will be destroyed. at that time the usa is no longer mentioned in prophecy,I beleive that we as americans are living in a nation that is winding down . the lord directly links our blessing with our blessing ISRAEL.the scriptures plainly point to that fact. when we started allying ourself with the un,eu,russia, we found ourself buried in a war in the middle east, that we cant get out of. I love my country, but we made a tragic mistake. forgive us for our failure to stand with you as we should have..
47. I FORGOT,,ANYONE KNOWS WHOSE COUNTRY IS IT ANYWAY?

49. Great...a one sided road map...SCREW THE EU!!!!!!!END
(12.28.06)
50. 22...
ISRAEL   (12.28.06)
Do you know what you are saying? Do you know any one of these people personally? I can tell you that these people were the most selfless people that I have ever met in my worldly travels. These people never asked for a penny that wasn't there's. The turned sand dunes into green farms. They planted tomatoes in sand, flowers in sand, lettuce in sand...all through hard work. So hard that when they left the Arabs cannot fifure out how they did it. The purpose of there being is like yours for the US. I assume you are inthe military. You defend your country as like these people do, though not with guns. They are braver then you are. Try living in a place that rains down rockets in order to be a buffer zone to the rest of your people. Then imagine staying there.... You ignorance and your rant is old , misinformed and completely baseless and idiotic...
51. 35...
(12.28.06)
do you really think hamas needs an excuse to smuggle in weapons and kill jews?
52. Why haven't they condemned the quassams!
(12.28.06)
53. EU favors ethnic cleansing in W Bank and Gaza!
(12.28.06)
54. #50...
Mordechai ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.06)
You just forgot to say that bellow the sand it's plenty of water to produce something. Cut the bullsh*t, Gaza is a quite old city and middle east is no different than other regions, cities are created on places were is possible to plant, grow animals, etc.
55. The costs of Idiocy
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.28.06)
What bothers me is the fact that the Israeli taxpayer will have to foot the bill to re-settle the bloody settlers, when the time comes for a peace agreement ...this agreement will be forced on us whether the heros here in Talkback like it or not
56. TO ALL AMERICANS ON THIS FORUM
deft one ,   dubai, UAE   (12.28.06)
since you support the evacuation of palestinians and replacing them by jews, why dont you be so kind as to evacuate your homes and lands in the US and let the displaced palestinians live there...thats an idea...dont you think??
57. Road map
Brod ,   USA   (12.28.06)
Road map to the bottomless pit is a road map to Hell.
58. #35 Mark I know US gives PA Weapons BETRAYING Jews
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.28.06)
59. #56 Israel TINY.22 HUGE ARAB Nations.Why you guys so SELFISH
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.28.06)
Racist Jew-hating Muslims demand the ethnic cleansing of ALL Jews from the Jewish ancestral homeland of Biblical Judea and Samaria. 10,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed from Gaza and northern Samaria - the Jewish refugees were forced into poverty - made jobless and homeless - their land and assets seized. Muslims CELEBRATED by DESECRATING and DESTROYING sacred Gaza synagogues.
60. Deft one, Dubai #56--The Agenda of Islamist-Jihadism
Brod ,   USA   (12.28.06)
The Arab Islamist-Jihadists squatting in Israel's Biblical and Historic homeland of Judea and Samaria have their own historic homeland in Southeastern Arabia or in Jordan where 80% of population are Palestinian Arabs. The fact is the Arab Islamist-Jihadist world has vast expanse of land that stretches from Dubai all the way to Morocco. They could easily accommodate their fellow Arab Islamist-Jihadist-Palestinians squatting in Israel. But they refuse to accommodate them. Instead, they launched four major wars in the past to wipe off Israel but Israel defeated them. Now, they are manipulating the world to do their dirty work of helping the Arafatists to usurp Israel's Biblical and Historic homeland of Judea and Samaria so as to reduce Israel to a tiny indefensible enclave in the Middle East. It is time the Free World wakes up and stops being misled and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadist world that is hellbent on dominating and imposing Islamist rule into the whole world. The following books are a MUST READ for the people and leaders of Israel, the West and the Free World: "Islam and Terrorism" by Mark A. Gabriel, PhD "Journey Into the Mind of an Islamic Terrorist" by Mark A. Gabriel, PhD "The Politically Incorrect Guide to ISLAM" by Robert Spencer "Jihad Incorporated" by Steven Emerson.
