sorry I cant talk much ! I am not a demagog as you guys :)

no excuse is needed for jews to live anywhere in the region--especially if arabs live in israel

This article is total rubbish. Why is it given space on ynet? The land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people and they can settle anywhere they like in it!! Can we please have some sanity?!

too bad his opinion hasnt been posted in the hebrew ynet in recent times. in many cases it looks like he is actually the boy from the famous story "the emperor new clothes".

Peres is right. Should allow settlements to grow, especially humanitarian reasons. There are families who want to expand their home because of family growth. Negotiations with the Palestinians give up must be mutual. To this day, Palestinians did not gave up on anything, so stuck in the negotiations.

Let's see, tearing down illegal Arab houses is a crime, because, after all, they only want to live near their families, but if Jews want the same thing, it's also a crime ! When you are are pro-Arab, you can do no wrong and make no sense, apparently.

B Michael doesnt want those nasty breeding Jews in the West Bank the Israeli Arabs dont want them next to Jaffo, they dont want them in the Negev nor in the Galil. Sorry B Michael, but according to your narrative and that of Israels Arabs, Jews should go back to where they came from. Oh I forgot the %50-60 % o0f Israeli jews who are descendant from Arab countries and Iran arent welcome back there. B Michael join your self hating jew freinds at J street and enjoy Obama's america because neither you nor your opinion is wanted here in Israel.

how can you tell one group of people they cannot own property somewhere, whether it is Israel, US, Canada, or any place in the world. Why don't we stick to this basic fact, it isn't about Judaism, or Arab, it is a basic human right that can not be taken away.

There is no debut in my mind that you are writing out of hate to the settlers and the religious community. You say it says no were that children do have to live near the parents. But it was only 4 day ago that residents of "ramat aviv" Who had a problem with religious ppl moving in... Let me Guess, you would love to have X settlers as your next door neighbor right? So do all of us a big favor and keep your stupid comments to your self.

Think of how much more room for "natural growth" we'll have when the Palestinians exercise their "right of return" to Jordan.

No doubt that B. Michael is my role model. I would definitely stop be at his eatery in Israel. I am sure his hummus is a world class.

highlighted by YNet? Why do you use him at all? His opinion pieces are simplistic at best and the Israel bashing quality of current and past statements more clearly deserve publication in their natural outlet, Haaretz. I really wish YNet editors reconsider investing in this ignoramus.

is a very smart man and he owns his own business. His restaurant is located in TA and I was told he has a pretty good hummus there. Even Jesus was''t an intellectual. He was a simple man with simple wisdom. How intellectual is love your neighbor as yourself? B. Michael is a simple and beautiful man and I admire his ideas.

And may the settlers have as much as they deserve!

Apply it to the Arab minority in Israel if you want to apply it to the Jewish minority (7-8%) in Judea/Samaria. Tell those Arabs that UN, EU, USA has decided that their children have to be deported in the name of piece.

you must have him confused in your catholic teachings. Is being gay okay w/ the vatican? Somehow when you post, it begins to smell. Jesus is not a favorite subject w/ the Jews and not w/ gays either. Silly boy/girl.

If population growth rates count, the muslims have everyone beat. They breed like rats and are not as clean, and they eat their own. Lovely publicity for anti muslims. Did you mean to be funny? laughed my ass off. Thanx pal.

for once shimon peres is actually trying not to harm israel, so now you complain? do jews really need a publicity campaign to justify living in their own homeland? do frenchmen or russians? are we going to equate arab terrorism with jewish settlement, and then condemn the "settlers'? this cuckoo-cloudland talk is more suited to the arab media than to a rational israeli newspaper.

It's a mutation of a kind that the host body is incapable of handling, and thus ends up killing the host body. So it's a lot more like your unnatural hatred for all things Israeli and Jewish - only harmful, and eventually disastrous.

You know very well that the future of Israel is CHAREDI. Just do the math. Ten children to your leftist/atheist 1.5 children. Why don't you and your leftist pals leave now, before your neighborhood becomes a sea of black hats and coats?

this argument to justify extension of jewish settlements it is considered a stupid excuse wherease the same argument stated by arabs to justify illegal construction has been accepted as natural. What is the conclusion?
