1. Israel renovates Jewish sites - and causes riots. Chelm!!!
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (02.28.10)
2. Peres
tz   (02.28.10)
Hello! Is anybody surprised???
3. pathetic
yosef ,   israel   (02.28.10)
a man who is afraid to acknowledge his own history and the history of the Jewish people, should not represent the Jewish State. The fact the the world does not recognize our connection to those sights is all the more reason why we need to maintain it. As Ben Gurion said, once the Jewish people reclaim parts of Israel, they have no right to relinquish control for it is not theirs to give away but rather belongs to the future generations of Jewish people.
4.  Wisdom of Perez:)
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.28.10)

5. Peres
chaim grosz ,   Miami USA   (02.28.10)

6. What did I smell, a fart? A really rancid old fart?

7. Peres -
Galut ,   selah   (02.28.10)
you bow down everytime esau demands... politcal correctness is the undoing of israel... these are jewish gravessites not palistinian
8. That's Because Peres Is An Idiot
Yoni ,   Naharia   (02.28.10)
There are only two stages we should implement. The first stage is to tell the world to bugger off! The second stage is to evict and remove all arabs who believe in a separate state for themselves. We have seen what the Peres mind helped conceive, we got the Oslo war accord. He also helped the toad man arafat to return with all his murderers. Yes Shimon Peres a.k.a. Szymon Perski (he renamed himself after a carrion eating bird) has a very dubious track record. He secretly and illegally started negotiations with arafat's PLO and the world gave him a Nobel prize, it meant the deaths of nearly two thousand Jewish men, women and children but we know the world gives prizes for killing Jews. Peres should be tried and convicted of treason. Instead our delusional Knesset made him President, a largely ceremonial position until Peres made it political.
9. Dr Ahmed al-Armouti,
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (02.28.10)
your move.... but know the tanach says the result for gaza will not be pretty....
10. Peres- a national embarrassment
(02.28.10)
I occasionally see him wearing a kippah, but I find it hard to believe he is a Jew.
11. Peres was always a fool
Golan ,   modiin   (02.28.10)
here is a self serving diplomat who used to back stab Golda Meir in the back, Rabin hated him and considered him a liability (but had to put up with him for political reasons) and the old reject came out against Netenyahu back in 1996 for Arab violence (because BB opened a door at the end of a tunnel so more people can visit an archeological site.) Peres was rejected by the nation countless times and was appointed by the Knesset in an "election" to a ceremonial position. Yet this man is acting as foreign minister over Liberman, as opposition leader over Livni, and as opposition leader he is also acting as if he is a Prime Minister over Netanyahu. Well the end of the tunnel is still open and the cave of the Patriarchs is still a heritage site.
12. YOU CAN NOT HIDE YOUR JEWISHNESS !!!.
Arne Strand. ,   SWEDEN.   (02.28.10)
YOU ARE IN ISRAEL NOW, AND NOT IN THE DIASPORA, IN PREWAR NAZI GERMANY. Peres concerned by heritage sites decision Following anger in territories and US criticism, Ynet learns president has also expressed his discontent over controversial decision, saying it should have been taken in stages. Meanwhile, members of Jordan's professional association hold protests, call for annulment of peace treaty IN STAGES - IT IS TAKEN MORE THAN 40 YEARS AFTER THE LANDTAKING. WILL YOU GO AND DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND, AND HIDE YOUR JEWISNESH IN THE SOIL OF ISRAEL??? WELL THIS JEWISHNESS IS NOW DIG UPP AS MEMORY, AND RISING FORTH TO A GLORIOUS FUTURE, A GLORIOUS DIVINE FUTURE, THE EVIL FORCES WILL TRY TO STEAL TO THEMSELVES, EVEN BY FORCE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrCal6kE-r4 Arn.
13. Worst President Ever
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.28.10)
14. Jews must show restraint? How about rioting Arabs?
Yacov ,   Chicago   (02.28.10)
It is not the Jews who are rioting, burning flags, threatening war and murder, and otherwise acting like homicidal lunatics. Why should Jews show restraint in claiming our own national heritage sites. Do Jews claim Mecca and Medina? No. So why should Arabs claim our national heritage sites?
15. Israel maintens holy sites while muslims ruin them
arab propoganda   (02.28.10)
16. last week
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.28.10)
Last week, a sympathetic Israeli journalist interviewed a "moderate" Arab leader. The Arab leader said that the 1929 riots (where Arabs slaughtered unarmed Jews and ethnically cleansed Hebron of its thousands year old Jewish population) was the Jews' fault because the Jews blew a trumpet that angered the Arab I wonder if Peres would agree that the Jews were to blame.
17. Just as Moslems have right to hold Temple Mount important
Ilan ,   Ariel   (02.28.10)
Jews have just as much right to the Temple Mount, the Caves of the Patriarchs and Rachel's tomb as the Moslems have to these places. If they can't deal with that then there is less than zero chance that there will ever be an agreement between us. We have no reason to be shy about the importance of our historical sites. They were ours before Islam existed and they will remain ours after it ceases to exist as well.
18. #17
(02.28.10)
The Muslims may or may not have a "right" to the Temple Mount. Rachel's Tomb has no significance to the Muslims or the Arabs. Cave of the Patriarchs has no significance whatsoever to the Muslims, only to the Arabs (Christians as well as Muslim).
19. Peres is a sad joke and a liability
Barney ,   USA   (02.28.10)
for the Jewish people in Israel
20. Old fox Peres
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (02.28.10)
What´s wrong with all you people criticising Peres? Can´t you read? Peres said: "The decision should not have been taken in the manner it was taken, but rather, in phases". He also said: "It was possible to decide to focus on 10 sites at this time, and take more decisions later".
21. In my opinion,there should be no such a thing as "phases"
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.28.10)
I believe Israel must enforce our Truth as soon as possible,before enemies get yet more strength. Those who like,like;those who not ,must leave Israel and go to live in their own Arabic Penisula. These people are looking for an internal war in Israel and their only understanding about “phases”is to destroy us in phases. So give them what they want as soon as possible,making them lick the moody floor, wetted by their crocodile tears ,quickly. Use the best army in the world with purpose and efficiency and stop wasting time in bla bla bla,lest they make yet more worldwide Paliwood, putting the nations, yet more than their may be, against us with their wicked, cunning slandering .
22. HE QUALIFIED HIS STATEMENTS ON RESTRAINING....
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (02.28.10)
very fairly. The president defined land mark guide line. to solve /negotiate ; a. with political solution b. with religious solution. The POLITICAL SOLUTION HERE IS TO RESTRAIN. THE POINT IS THESE MAD MORRONS EXTREMIST PALS DONT KNOW TOLERANCE OR PEACE ! THEY THROW STONES AT THE LAW FUL MILITARY THE IDF. AS SUCH WHAT RESTRAIN IS TO BE APPLIED. I WOULD SHOOT THEM TO DEATH MY SELF. NO NORMALIZATION POLICY IN TERRORIST SITUATION !
23. PA hit on Hamas rival was a success
Yacov ,   Chicago   (02.28.10)
So the PA put out a hit on a Hamas rival who would kill Palestinian women and children just as he murdered Jewish women and children. As usual, blame those rotten Jews!!!
24. peres is pathetic
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (02.28.10)
Aren't we Jews tired of exert restraints ?? We came back to our land because it is ours ! Hebron and Jerusalem are the jewels of our Jewishness,the living proof that our state is NOT a colony If the arabs are unable to interiorize that idea,they may contemplate a more healthy islamic mood in gaza or jordan where they came from originally !
25. #3 Actually,Yosef...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.28.10)
The world recognizes *very,very well* our connection to these sites.The problem and the tragedy is their hypocrisy,evilness,enviousness,jelousy,and moreover, their wickedness that "impedes"them to recognize what they know very ,very well.
26. Secretary of the Jordan Medical Association
eh-oop ,   UK   (02.28.10)
He advocates "support for the armed resistance option". At least he recognises that armed resistance is an option, not a necessity. But it is his choice what to recommend. I thought even Jordanian doctors had a commitment to saving life. But here is this one supporting criminal acts of murder, since everyone knows what "armed resistance" means in his part of the world. His licence to practice should be revoked and he should be charged with incitement to commit murder. But who in Jordan will take that step?
27. Kiryat Arba settler council calling on Netanyahu...
Norway   (02.28.10)
to nationalize the Tomb of Jesse and Ruth in the city's Tel Rumeida neighborhood and the Tomb of Othniel Ben Knaz, the first Judge of Israel. "And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother" (Judges 3:9-11). “The Israeli attacks against the Ibrahimi Mosque and Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque [Rachel’s Tomb] are simply a preparation for a larger attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Farahat told crowds in Gaza. Marchers called for “jihad” and “resistance” to what they saw as a discriminatory claim on their holy sites. (Hamas vows response to heritage list, Maan News, 24/02/2010). VIDEO: Cleaning the Tomb of Ruth and Yishai/Jesse http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/131616 From Ruth came Obed, Yishai, David, Solomon & the future Messiah
28. Mr Peres pls don't interfere !
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (02.28.10)
You're NOT the government !!
29. could it be?
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (02.28.10)
the current mind set of many israelis and peres... is not unlike the mind set of Jacob(israel) when he returned to Cainnan to reconcile with ESAU ...where Jacob sent portians of his peronal wealth ahead of him to apease ESAU so he could live in peace with him .... Jacob had to strugle with an angel before he recieved the blessing and became israel... note even when jacob(israel) & Esau Kissed there continued to be a history of distrust between the Sons of Esau and the sons of Israel.... when israel came out of Egypt the sons of Esau refused to let the sons of Israel to pass thru thier territory on thier way to the promised land.... the sons of israel must learn to trust G-d if they wish to have the whole of what God gave to them....giving away land will not work....runs counter to G-ds will for Israel.
