1. YNet promoting Halper anti-Israel propaganda?
Roberta Seid ,   Santa Monica CA USA   (07.30.07)
Why is YNet promoting Halper's anti-Israel propaganda? His group works with radical anti-Israel activists who facilitate terrorism such as the ISM and with virulent anti-Israel Palestinian groups like the Sabeel Center whose leader uses deicide imagery and denies Israel's right to exist. Halper himself has justified or excused terrorism and claimed "A Jewish state "has proven politically, and in the end, morally untenable." (2003) Halper 's so-called concern about housing is a propaganda ploy. He willfully violates urban planning codes, overrules court decisions about ownership of land and building rights, and intentionally deceives (or is ignorant of) the massive Arab building in the West Bank and in Jerusalem. Unless Israelis have really given up the idea that they have any rights at all, YNet News should not allow itself to be used as a platform for this type of hateful propaganda. Either YNet has not done its research before publishing this article or it has been bought out by Arab money.
2. what's this leftist propaganda ??
stephane ,   france   (07.30.07)
what does this yael ivri wants from the readers ? she want us to cry for that arabs ? all over the world, if someone build a house on a non-authorized land, the authorities destroy this house. the arabs are already occupying a big part of the ONLY jewish country but they always want more ! those arabs are lucky to have israeli traitors to cry for them and to be helped by the leftist antisemits from all over the world. israel MUST forbid the strangers " volunteers " to enter israel. those bas....s must take care of the problems of their country. ps: i'm in france but i'm israeli.

4. undermining Israels legitimacy
art ,   jc usa   (07.31.07)
Ignoring Israels courts undermines Israel. These people are creating facts on the groung
5. for these enemies, Israel can do NOTHING to protect itself
dante ,   uk   (07.31.07)
no demolitions, no barrier, no checkpoints, no arrests, no trials, no incarceration, nothing. do you get the picture? these malicious and sactimonious swine have tears only for the terrorists, those that send them, those that harbour them, those that support them. FOR ISRAEL, it is only contumely, slander, denunciation. these swine are enemies of the Jewish People and should be treated as such.
6. To 1, 2 , 3 for you anything that is not in your favor is ..
ahmed ,   Palestine   (07.31.07)
a propaganda??????? You should be a shamed of yyourself, one lives in france, other 2 lives in the usa and you talk about this?? see the real things, come to eastern jerusalem and see how many homes are demolished just because their owners are arab and they asked for years to have a permit but always refused.
7. Did Halper et al. ever help to rebuild the Jewish Quarter?
Rick Adler ,   Sharon, CT   (07.31.07)
Let's be clear: the Jews were kicked out of the Old City by the Arabs in 1948. Their homes, synangogues, businesses, etc. were destroyed by the Arabs. Did Halper or any of his scrufulous band help the Jews? What about in Hebron (from which Jews were expelled following the 1929 massacre)? What about in Shechem? Gush Etzion? Sderot? Any place? Of course not. Because Halper and the others are not interested in helping the Jews, only the enemies of the Jews.
8. #6, guess what
Antonio ,   Haifa   (07.31.07)
If you don't like it, then leave. Go to one of your own countries. This isn't an Arab country, and you have no right to complain.
9. YOU ARE ALL SO BLIND & STUPID
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem   (07.31.07)
Ehud Olmert gave away the Golan last week to Syria backed Hezbollah, he also gave away east Jerusalem to the Palestinian terrorists last week, Ehud Olmert also said some months ago that "it is ok if the kidnapped soldiers stay with their kidnappers a while longer nothing bad will come of it". Ariel ripped Jews from their homes and caner victims don't receive life saving medical care, the elderly in Israel are left to starve, the IDF disabled soldiers are mostly abused and live without advancement and self pride, the Holocaust survivors are being ripped off by Olmert and you all are worried about Halper's helpers? Olmert probably has a financial deal in the stolen land and illegal building, i wouldn't be surprised..hey what about that cover up battle in Lebanon that Israel lost just cause Olmert and Peretz wanted to smoke out criminal investigators from exposing Olmerts shady deals? Millions of dollars were donated by the various pro Israel groups for the rebuilding of bomb shelters...where is the millions cause the shelters are not rebuilt? The Jewish Agency collected millions for those same shelters where is the money? Amigour has collected donations for a building that they say is for 170 holocaust survivors but not one tenant is a survivor where is the money? Halper keep building nobody will bother you again they are too busy stealing and the donors from Canada, America, Australia etc are to busy blindly giving like the dummies they are. Good work Halper build and steal as much land as you can, its ok a very Israeli thing to do and all those that oppose to Halper's helpings go and wee in the wind.
10. Antonio, this is our land u like it or not, you should
ahmed ,   Palestine   (07.31.07)
leave to spain to latin america where you came from , not us leaving our land!
11. AHMED: name Antonio existed in Jerusalem long before Ahmed
Jake   (07.31.07)
The Antonia Fortress was a structure built by King Herod to defend the Jewish Temple. There were no 'Ahmeds' in Jerusalem back then. All the Ahmeds in those days were making pilgrimages through the Arabian desert to worship a strange meteorite, later to be known as the Kaaba.
12. #6
Jane ,   Melbourne, Australia   (08.01.07)
You're probably the same idiot who complains that the international media is "biased" against Israel. With people like you giving it ammunition, why would it be anything else? You also probably complain that Iran and Hamas don't recognise Israel, and the first chance you get, you tell this guy that his country doesn't exist. Your hypocrisy makes my head hurt.
13. Are traitors still prosecuted in Israel ...
Dan ,   Bucharest, Romania   (08.01.07)
... or is the Olmert cabinet to busy cutting down the benefits for Holocaust survivors and poor Jews wanting to make aliyah? Ahmet, go back to Egypt or Syria, where your grand-parents came from to squat Jewish land. And take Halper with you, please. Ynet should be ashamed for publishing such anti-Israel (and basically antisemitic) propaganda.
14. shame they don't demolish more illegal blgds in beer sheva
(08.01.07)
15. They won't rebuild Sderot, right?
Ignacio ,   Zaragoza, Spain   (08.01.07)
Lefties goonies strikes back.
16. What about rebuilding Jewish homes in Gush Katif?
Dudu ,   Kfar Sava   (08.01.07)
Demolition is BAD when done on Arab homes Demolition is GOOD when done on Jewish homes. Put the Leftist selfhaters on trial for sedition
