2. "like a nail in the Annapolis peace summit’s coffin.”
K.D Lease   (06.01.08)
It is time to bury it
3. Peace Now and nails in coffins
JPS ,   Efrat   (05.31.08)
What Yariv Oppenheimer fails to state is the the Israeli public is totally fed up with the Palestinians who have shown again and again over the past decade that they don't want peace. The public is also fed up with Peace Now for trying to push a phony peace treaty on us. We don't buy it. The Palestinians are not a partner for peace right now, and giving them land for nothing means certain war. Oppenheimer should read what the left is even saying: the Pals voted for Hamas and that is their legitimate government. And oh yes, Hamas leaders said again a week or so ago that they will NEVER make peace with Israel. So it's not the settlements putting any nails in any coffins. Annapolis was stillborn to begin with.

Rice does not like the new houses. Oppenheimer says nail in box of annapolis peace agreement. Notify when the agreement will be buried for larger attendance figures.Bion must now release all the future building before a shortage crises.
5. NO CONTROVERSY: IT'S OUR CAPITAL!!!
SERGIO ,   ISRAEL   (06.01.08)
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE GREEN LINE AFTER 40 YEARS! IT WAS CALLED LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT WAS DRAWN IN GREEN IN JORDANIAN MAPS FROM 1949!!!
6. Jerusalem, in total, is ISRAELI!
Arie ,   BaGolan   (05.31.08)
7. Does Oppenheimer take orders from Dr. Rice?
Steve ,   Fla.   (06.01.08)
Condoleezza Rice may as well be the head of Peace Now. What does Peace Now know about peace anyway? What is controversial about building homes on historic Jewish land? Does Oppenheimer (and Dr. Rice)realize Rice's home is on Native American land in Alabama? Rice and her ancestors displaced Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians in Alabama. Rice's ancestors forcibly removed these fine people from their historic home land. Dr. Rice is an illegal occupier of Native American land.
8. Rice Unhappy.
kurt ,   san diego   (06.01.08)
Good. Like she's really in charge?
9. Mrs. Condoleezza Riceshould know.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (06.01.08)
The Land of Israel belongs exclusively to the people of Israel. The Jews have the right to build and live freely in their country. Agreements as a result of blackmail and pressure are not valid and will not change historical truth and International Legitimacy (The San Remo agreements). Mistakes done by Israeli government(s) in Anapolis or before should not be respected and should be put right immediately. At the base, the Land of Israel is exclusively the land of the Jews in its entirety
10. Building
Hila ,   Jerusalem   (06.01.08)
Great News!!! For once, Olmert's government is doing something good!!
11. while honest people
JL ,   israel   (06.01.08)
cannot afford simple housing in the towns they have lived in all their lives...the government continues to pour money into homes for settlers...the citizens of israel proper do not interest the government...no wonder the country is on the path to being destroyed by its own government
12. Palestinians'll THANK you when you haveto leave all to Pals
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (06.01.08)
As ready to settle houses for Palestinians You will have to leave soon after you build them!
13. Fabulous news!
petra ,   usa   (06.01.08)
Sends the best message of all, Israel will not be dictated to by anyone. Thankfully, Rice and her crew will be gone soon and Israel shall endure and flourish!

16. Our unquestionable rights on the Land of Israel.
Simone Cobart   (06.01.08)
The Jews have the right to build and live freely in their country. We have modern political rights dating back to the First World War: "After World War I, the borders and countries that today make up the Middle East were created - Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc. Modern Israel was created the same way! The countries of the world charged Britain [in the San Remo Resolution of 1920, based on the League of Nations and Balfour Declaration] with creating a 'national homeland' for the Jewish People, based on the 'historical rights' of the Jews, and calling for Jewish immigration and settlement here. Only a quarter of the land, including Hevron and Shechem, originally designated for the Jews by the League of Nations, was left for us.
