and it proves it again and again.

look where he is now

No need to be alarmed about the worldwide condemnation. There is nothing that anybody will or can do to stop the building of new housing units at Gilo. No country has the right to dictate what Israel can or cannot do in its own capital. Period.

Israel would lose HORRIBLY in a war against the U.S and EU. I know Zionists are dumb but they can't be THAT dumb.

from the EU basically support a judenrein and ethnic cleansing policy. AND THEY ARE SO INEPT AND IGNORAMUS THAT THEY CANT UNDERSTAND IT.! Or maybe since they have practiced it, that is normal for them.

The real threat to peace is the fact that we are living in Israel and breathing the air. In order to have peace in the Middle East, we must move to New York and give our property to the Arabs, publicly apologize for being Jewish and convert to Islam, the religion of Piece otherwise we shall face death and destruction. Really!

The "settlements" issue – the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo included – is, of course, only an attempt to divert attention from the core issue of the Arab Israeli conflict. The essence of the conflict is the total, consistent and persistent refusal of the Arabs, Palestinian and otherwise, to accept Israel's legitimacy and right to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people. None of the other issues are at the core, either, e.g. "borders and territory", "natural resources", "refugees" or even "Jerusalem". These issues were not there in 1947 when the UN voted to establish a "Jewish state" and an "Arab state" in the Land, Nevertheless, the Arabs rejected this UN resolution, 181, and instead initiated the 1947-1949 war whose goal was the annihilation of the tiny Jewish state just proclaimed. These issues were not there between the years 1948 and 1967 during which time the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip were Jew-free, "cleansed" of all their Jewish residents by their Arab rulers. Yet, despite this reality the Arabs didn't even try to set up their independent state there, in the very same territory that they demand now. But of course, the Arabs did initiate the June 1967 Six-Day War against Israel hoping to accomplish what they couldn't accomplish in 1947-49: The total elimination of the UN member state of Israel and with it all elements of Jewish civilization of which Israel is its cradle. To begin to overcome the core of the conflict the Arab leadership, Palestinian and otherwise, should state clearly, in Arabic, their acceptance of Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people. This would be based on the League of Nations decisions, 1922, and the United Nations resolution, 1947, as well as the universally accepted right of all peoples to national self-determination and independence, including the Jewish people. The Arab leadership would then need to back up its newly found conviction with a few simple deeds, actions that would demonstrate its change of heart. This will bring with it a sea-change of attitude among Jews, within and without Israel, whose nation-state Israel is, ready to take additional risks to the ones already taken. The goal: the reaching of an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between Israel and its Arab neighbours, something Jews have been very eager to achieve since at least the late 19th century, upon the commencing of the activity of the none-violent (not pacifist) national liberation movement of the Jewish people, Zionism. Will the Arabs do so, or will they rather attempt to divert attention from the core issue – at times with "settlements", at times with their terrorism - of the conflict, hoping to bide time and achieve their real goal at some point in the future…??

Israel declared statehood within the UN partition plan mandate and was immediately attacked by the neighboring Arab states. What's more, you KNOW that already, so WHY R U WASTING MY TIME??!!

OBSERVER, LYDIA, ADDLE...... THEY ARE POOR LOSERS THESE ISLAMO-FASCISTS. THEY MAY CHANGE THEIR NAMES BUT THEY NEVER CHANGE THEIR OLD HATEFUL AND DESPICABLE WAYS. WHAT DO THEY HAVE AGAINST ISRAEL BESIDES THEIR OBVIOUS HATRED ? I'LL TELL YOU..................ENVY, JEALOUSY, ANGRY, FRUSTRATION... WHY ? ..... BECAUSE THE JEWS HAVE THE MOST WONDERFUL SUCCESS STORY IN THE WORLD. THE JEWS AGAINST ALL ODDS BUILT A FLOURISHING HOMELAND AFTER NEARLY GETTING WIPED OUT IN EUROPE. NO OTHER PEOPLES HAVE EVER ACHIEVED SUCH A MIRACLE. FROM THE ASHES TO BUILDING A FLOURISHING STATE. THIS SUCCES OF ISRAEL IS WHAT THE OTHER HATERS HAVE AGAINST ISREAL. THEY ALSO HATE THEMSELVES AND FIND THEMSELVES LACKING ANY OF THE QUALITIES THAT THE JEWISH PEOPLE DISPLAYED. THESE HATERS DO NOT BUILD MODERN TOLERANT SUCCESSFUL SOCIETIES OR CULTURES , NOR DO THEY ADVANCE THEMSELVES. THIS IS WHY THEY HATE AND THIS IS WHY THEY ATTEMPT TO " DENY AND DESTROY " .... WHAT OTHERS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. THEY ENVY AND HATE THE JEWS, AND ISRAEL BECAUSE ISRAEL HAS ACCOMPLISHED A " MIRACLE " AND THEY, THE OTHERS STILL WALLOW IN THE MUD AND COMPLAIN.
