1. Didn't a certain people start a war on other peoples holiday
(12.28.09)
And since losing that and other wars they started to call their brothers Fakestinians to fabricate ownership of a tiny strip of land they can't conquer by force. Fake people don't have history and their future is certain only as long as their funding is solid. Time is against them, as oil runs out.
2. beilin and bibi
alexi   (12.28.09)
Next to chamberlain, olmert beilin is the biggest wimp and appeaser in israeli history. No jews would have fought as partisan in world war ll if it were up to beilin who is a pacifist gripped by olmert fear, cowardice flows through his veins. Cut a deal, cut a deal, oh my god. Only a tough deal eyeball to eyeball could work. Beilin deals end with jews in the ovens. Take olmert and jump off a cliff, the both of you.
3. Here's an American reponse for you!
Mea   (12.28.09)
As long as parcels are legally sold to Jews, they can build on them. In America, we have real problems with people who do not sell to or rent to minorities. The fact is (and I have walked around east Jerusalem so I know what I am talking about) these parcels are sold toJewish people and then it is expected they only be occupied by Arabs. THAT is racism.
4. Israel is a joke
Frank ,   Canada   (12.28.09)
Israel is behaving as a colony and not as a sovereign state. Israel has no specific reasons to update Americans on these issues.
5. Israel has ____ to gain from talking to the PA.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.28.09)
It is time for Israel to stop playing games. Let's stop pretending we're interested in talking with the PA and that we have something to gain by doing so. Let's stop pretending we want a new terror state in the heart of our sole, tiny Homeland. Only a few left wing Israeli fanatics do. Israel has _____ to gain from talking to the PA. Nobody has a rational answer.
6. Building in Jerusalem
Ely Greenhut ,   Tzfat Israel   (12.28.09)
If it were the other way around & Jews did not have a homeland & demanded israel as their homeland the whole antisemitic world would ignore our pleas & requests. Since we Jews have our homeland the world does not want us to be in our rightful tiny land--ISRAEL. How HATEFUL & shameful the world is.
7. With 8000 empty apartments and 6000 more coming
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (12.28.09)
If you build they will come seem to be the ideal here for Israelis. There is a housing shortage for Muslims but they are not allow to build even if they own the land and new building is for Jewish people only, no Christians or Muslims allowed. The empty apartments are legally rented but no one live in them mostly rented to foreign Jews or families of builders/owners to keep rent prices high, which allows loans for more building.
8. Jews need no permission to build in God's city.
F. O. ,   LA   (12.28.09)
It is disgusting that Israel now has to "ask permission" of the U.S. in order to build in God's city. This is life under Barack Hussein Obama. I cannot wait until the U.S. has a true American in office, instead of a Marxist, closet Muslim.bFrom Audacity of Hope: Obama himself stated, "I will stand with the Arab/Pakistani immigrants (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
9. Why a response from America ? lol
Michael ,   Los Angeles - USA   (12.28.09)
America never solicites a response from Fatah on anything , Why do these clowns think America is obligated to get involved in the mess they made . It's land given to the Jews by G*d . Case closed .
10. who is dictating to whom?
eddie ,   london UK   (12.28.09)
The Palestinians are nto in control of Israel, yet they dictate where israel can build. And did America or England report to anyone when they built new settlements in America? BY what right are any Americans living in the Americas?
11. Aaaaargh!!!!
Cameron ,   USA   (12.28.09)
Weary unto the death of this eternal, ME turf squabble! May the sea rise up and wash all of it away!
12. Abdel Kader - get real!
Judith ,   Rishon, Israel   (12.28.09)
Get real Kader. When the Palestinian Arabs living in Jerusalem start serving in the army, albeit in community service, pay taxes, and behave, then, and only then will they have the right to complain. And then their requests will be met.
13. to #7 wrong Muslims got no deed in the area
ghostq   (12.28.09)
