1. RESULT OF WEAKNESS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (07.24.08)
It has become a mantra, but the weakness of mind and spirit of the Herzelist Israelis creates monsters. It seems that every Putz with a little power in the world think they can tell us what to do in our own land. In their effort to show the world their moral superiorty , our Herzelists are destroying any independence we are supposed to have in our land. What a Gutzpah ,while there is a Zimbabwe, Somalia,Birma and other killingfields,Mr Moon is concerned about 20 homes build for Jews in their own land. I write our own land repeatedly , because our Herzelists have forgotten that it is our OWN LAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Interesting, no word of complaint about the new Arab cities
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.24.08)
that the Israeli pathetical weak politicians are planning on giving our enemies between Beit El & Migron and one in the Galil.
3. OUR OWN LAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
..............DACON9   (07.24.08)
4. UN?
Jeffrey ,   Boston   (07.24.08)
Is that the same UN who's Human Rights Commission has ignored every human rights violation in the world at the expense of Israel? Is that the same UN that encourages Hezbollah to rearm south of the Litani by altering reports and looking the other way when confronted by Hezbo terrorists with squirt guns?
5. I'm still confused
nr ,   los angeles, USA   (07.24.08)
Sorry, but what business is it of anyone if Jews build homes on abandoned Jewish land. What, the Pals get this land somehow in one or another deal they've never kept. Just do it. You know the motto: It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
6. Ban Ki-Moon, In the words of Bill Clinton
pete ,   bat yam   (07.24.08)
translated into yiddish, Kish Mir in Tuchas Where else should these people live? Your UN was a partner to their expulsion from Gush Katif. Haven't they been homeless long enough? Isn't the UN supposed to assist refugees? or do the refugees have have an ABU in front of their name? Why hasn't the UN set up a refugee camp for these people?
7. international law
i ,   jerusalem   (07.24.08)
applies on the seas and in commerce, not in sovereign territory. There is no international law in play in China, Russia , nor in any other area. The palistinian claim to the are is bogus, they did not inhabit it under Hussein, and it was wasteland. Moon can pursue his NWO dreams till the Messiah arrives. Let them scream and send the message that we intend to stay on the Jordan.
8. Agreed David !
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (07.24.08)
Kol ha kavod to Maskiot ! Ban Moon ;take care of darfouris, burmese,chinese ouighours ! Preocupied by Jews building in Judea GET LOOOST !
9. ITS ISRAEL'S LAND UNTIL TAKEN BY FORCE
DOOMHAM ,   EFFING, PARASITE-UK   (07.25.08)
.....isnt that how ALL societies live? The land we all live on was probably taken from someone else at some time...yes, OWNED by someone else. Its just that the Israeli Jews have reclaimed land they once lived on and had taken from them by others.
10. Ban Ki-moon
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO   (07.25.08)
Israel history is much older than you are. You stop telling u swhat to do. Jews can do waht they want to do in their own home land. You stop all this Nazi Tactic. Enjoy your Arab Wahabi Money but dont tell us where to build our houses.It has come to a point that I feel like vomiting on your hippocrasy, Israel never tell the american to do or not to do anything. I tell you please SHUT UP or you will have to take an exit .Saeb Erekat can keep dreaming that the American has a say in this issue.When it comes to the NATURAL RIGHT of THE JEWISH PEOPLE to be FREE TO choose where they want STAY in the Land ISRAEL, it is the EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF EVERY JEW. SO you Gentiles STAY OUT and keep you dirty Hands away. Ban ki- MOON I hope you understand and I know you read Ynet everday :-) Chow !
11. This is Israel not UN ville
Hilda ,   US   (07.25.08)
I agree with all my heart with those Israelis who wrote this is their land and they have every right to build where and when they want to. How dare the UN or US tell Israel they can or cannot build. Jews have long enough been the Wandering Jew . Now we have our own country. Leave us alone. I'll bet they don;t mind one bit that Israel is planning to build Arab cities in the Galalee. I think that would be a mistake.
12. #1 David - Nobody is telling you what to do on your own land
Mr. Know-It-All ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (07.25.08)
They are only telling you what you cannot do on occupied land that is not part of Israel. You are free to build settlements in Israel proper (i.e. behind the Green Line) until the cows come home, but you have absolutely no legal or legitimate right to do anything in the occupied West Bank and the world has the right to tell what you can and cannot do there just as it did to Saddam when he occupied Kuwait. Get it now?
13. Palestinians are the occupiers, Jordan is their homeland.
Great White North ,   Canada   (07.25.08)
Ban Moon, why don't you condemn housing construction in occupied Hawaii?
14. Disband the Quartet
Wisconsin Marshall ,   USA   (07.25.08)
Immediately one thinks of Czechoslovakia before WW2. The 4 members are ganging up on Israel to dismember the state. One member openly arms to the teeth Israel's genocidal enemies. This was always a bad idea. Israel is a sovereign nation and not a protectorate. It can handle relations with other nations or organizations bilaterally. If only the Israeli leadership had the guts to do it.
15. Ban Ki Moon is wrong
Brod ,   USA   (07.25.08)
When is the UN going to stop being fooled, deceived and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadist world in crusading their Jihadism on Israel? It is time Ban Ki Moon is educated of the facts pertaining to the Land of Israel. Judea and Samaria are Israel's biblical and historic homeland since the time of their forefathers 4000 years ago which Israel liberated from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in 1967. As a Fulfillment of GOD's Covenant to Israel 2500 years ago, GOD has restored Modern Israel in Ancient Israel in the 20th century. Jeremiah 31:1-17, Ezekiel 36:24-38, Ezekiel 37:21-28, Ezekiel 39:27-29, Amos 9:14-15. NO mortal, including the UN, should dare tamper with GOD's covenant of restoring Modern Israel in Ancient Israel. The Islamist-Jihadist world should stop usurping Israel from the Jews. They should stop crusading their Jihadism on Israel and other countries. The West, the UN and the Free World should tell the Islamist-Jihadist world to stop crusading their Jihadism on Israel. If Islamist-Jihadists choose to live in Israel, they should abide by Israel's Laws and stop usurping Israel's GOD-given biblical and historic homeland of Judea and Samaria. If they do not want to live in peace in Israel and respect Israel's sovereignty of the Land of Israel, they should move out and return to their historic homeland in Arabia.
16. #1 . its not your land. thats the fact
sami ,   yafa   (07.25.08)
int law said so.
17. It is your own land, God gave you
jeanette ,   u.s.a.   (07.25.08)
Amen I agree. It is your land! I am so sorry for what you are going through!!! May the Lord protect you!!!!!
18. Mooni and the UN slams
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (07.25.08)
Israel should tell the UN that when their "peace keepers' in the Congo stop raping and murdering young girls, act decisively in Darfur,function as they were supposed to do in Haiti,implement 1701 and disarm Hezbullah....... then they may get an ear but till then "goodbye ".
19. The Land of Israel is ours by Historical and Moral right.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.25.08)
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. The historical and political truth about rights and legitimity can be read in its 5 parts at : http://xrl.us/bi5c6
20. Every hill in Samaria and every valley in Judea is part...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.25.08)
Every hill in Samaria and every valley in Judea is part of our historic homeland. The Land of Israel is ours by Historical and Moral right and in 1920 the world recognized our undeniable national rights to this land. It is ours by the historic right of the people of Israel to the entire Land of Israel. The Jews have the right to build and live freely in their country. Every hill in Samaria and every valley in Judea is part of our historic homeland. We do not forget this, not even for one moment as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi9g8
21. Complete Waste of Money
Bill ,   US   (07.25.08)
Why build new homes that you will eventually hand over to the Arabs in one of your "painful concessions". Between that time you have to protect these settlements, pave roads, put in utilities, etc. What do these settlements cost Israel versus what it would cost to increase the average pay of Israelis who think of leaving for a better wage elsewhere or even paying Arab families just to leave altogether. Believe me they'd take the offer . They sold their precious Palestine a hundred years ago, they'll do it again.
22. UN is wrong
mike honcho ,   ny,usa   (07.25.08)
So what if we are taking other peoples land we are the chosen ones and whoever is against that is anti-g-d and anti-semitic. The UN doesn't complain about china taking tibet. We are just exacting revenge on what the nazi's did to us and plus some. The world can't do anything about because we control the US they are in back pocket and we control the media and banking too if they try something against us we will collapse there economy.
23. Even Rabin agreed to retain jordan valley !
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (07.25.08)
24. # 12 You'll Have to Explain it Clearly
Thomas   (07.25.08)
I'm under the impression that laws apply to everyone equally or they are unjust laws. So please explain why under holy international law Great Britain was legitimately able to steal the Faulkland Islands by applying deadly force against the Argentinians while Israel aquiring land from agressing countries is illegitimate.
25. #19 right?
observer   (07.26.08)
((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! )) No, all those countries were not created by displacing people; kicking Arabs out and bringing in immigrants (an exact politically correct word). ((Only a quarter of the land, including Hevron and Shechem, originally designated for the Jews by the League of Nations, was left for us)) and you took much more than what was allocated for you as part of your political correctness...try to cite words in the proper place! ((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)).....that was not including your todays' sole ally; the American King-Crane 1919 recommended: The Commission recognized also that definite encouragement had been given to the Zionists by the Allies in Mr. Balfour's often quoted statement, in its approval by other representatives of the Allies. If, however, the strict terms of the Balfour Statement are adhered to-favoring "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/crane.html
26. #19 put a sock in it! No Historical nor Moral right!
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (07.29.08)
a 'right' to Palestine based on an occupation of2000yearscan hardly be seriously considered" King-Crane Commission 1919" "If we are going to admit claims based on conquest thousands of years ago, the whole world will have to be turned upside down..." —Lord Sydenham, Hansard, House of Lords, 21 June, 1922. "A Zionist state in Palestine can only be installed and maintained by force and we should not be a party to it..."—President Franklin Roosevelt, 5 March 1945, "Let us not today fling accusations at the murderers. Who are we that we should argue against their hatred? For they sit in their refugee camps in Gaza, and before their very eyes, we turn into our homestead the land and the villages in which they and their forefathers have lived." —Moshe Dayan, 1953, "...the extent to which the refugees were savagely driven out by the Israelis as a part of a deliberate masterplan has been insufficiently recognized." —John H. Davis, Commissioner-General of UNRWA 1959-63,
