Why is this so shocking to everyone?

The world dont know the jewish people history they dont know that jerusalem has benn held by jews even befure jesus or muchamad were born they dont know that the so called palestinians are nothing but imigrants from jordan suria egypt and lebanon they let the muslims in their countries re-write history decleration of palestinians nation or state before israel the israeli goverment let the arabs destroy archioligical sites that proves the connection between israel and the jewish people and most of all they see the jews as the cause of war in middle east instead of the agresive terrorist attacks by arabs have a great passover my friends best regards from Israel

everything the Israeli government does seems to cause a crisis ! Whether it's building in the JEWISH city of Jerusalem, or defending against terrorist attacks, never do I hear Moon, the EU, the UN, etc,etc, "Condemn " the terrorists.

Mr. Oppenheimer is a treasonous Israeli. His government annexed E. Jerusalem 43 years ago, and he continues to call for an Israeli withdrawal. He is towing the enemy line, in direct opposition to his own government, deport him.

live also in Arab neighborhoods. Why not?

Don't breathe a word about any construction-low level, mid level , high level. Shut the hell up.

seems to leaking these stories on purpose? Do they represent a fifth column in Israel? Why are they trying to sabotage our Prime Ministers meetings in America. Are they in league with Kadima to bring down the democratically elected government? Why are they encouraging those who want to ban Jews from Jerusalem?

bibi said it -- everybody knows that the neighborhoods in jerusalem will go to israel in a final peace deal. why do the americans suddenly make a big deal of it? because obama has decided that in order to curry favor with the arab and muslim world, israel must be put on the chopping block. obama is an appeaser. his routine is to coddle up to enemies and abandon his allies. nothing israel will do will change this. israel can freeze all of jerusalem, and all of the settlements. the next pressure from obama will be to let in all the refugees. when will israel say no? the only other option is to call the bluff, and call for a permanent freeze on settlements outside the 1967 border, in exchange for the palestinians calling for a permanent freeze on settling palestinians in the 1967 border. its an eminently reasonable proposal -- one the palestinians will completely reject, and one that will show the world the truth of what is going on.

The shite is going to hit the fan now.

Israel Extremist will never allow a 2 state solution , we have to take strong measure to ensure the peace process. Israel problem has already created to many disaster for Europe and USA why should we continue to accept this !!!!

Israel should continue to build in its liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria. The Land of Israel is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Jews. The Islamist-Jihadist squatters have NO business usurping the Land of Israel from the Jews. Obama should be impeached by Congress if he sides with the wolves and tigers of the region to usurp the Land of Israel from the Jews.

I am fed up with hearing about obummer and his demands while we face violent attacks on a daily basis. Israel is the home of the Jewish People and Jerusalem is our Capitol--get over it already.

Our enemies realize that we are near the point of no return as far as creating a new terror state in our heartland is concerned. That explains their all out way against Jewish settlement in our own Homeland. We must build, build, build EVERYWHERE in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. This land is ours now and forever. The perfect antidote to the creation of the terror state is 1,000,000 Jews in Judea and Samaria.

In other words - the rightful owners of the land are developing it, and the racist Arab neighbors object because a non-Arab is leading the project. It's the same racism behind the Sheik Jarrah upheaval against the rightful, deed-holding owners of the land there, supported by Leftists. Nothing is more representative or apartheid and racism than the Leftist/Arab stance - Jews cannot build on their own property because it resides in an Arab neighbor that Arabs want to keep homogeneous.

Your perpetuating a lie that has never been proven - namely, that Israel is the cause of all the world's woes. Isn't that a lot like Europeans said in 1930s - that Jews caused all the wars and poverty? And in the Middle Ages - Jews caused all the wars and the plagues? You're nothing but a broken record of racist rhetoric to cover your own crimes and short-comings, namely, the atrocities committed in Algeria during French-occupation which the govt there is preparing to bring to the Hague to try French rulers. Israel IS within its own borders and did grow and prosper despite racist terrorism, which the EU supports with every tax dollar and every time they invite a member of Hamas or Hizbullah on a diplomatic visit. As France learned in the 1980s, if you appease terror you will receive more terror. Today's Europe is a result of European policies and no one else.

Despite all of the land stolen from Jews as part of an illegal systematic ethnic cleansing in 1948 (which the world actively ignores), the Arabs feel they haven't finished yet and want to cleanse the entire area of Jews from their own land. In other words, the very neighborhoods that Arabs ran to in order to escape PA govt and to receive benefits, jobs, infrastructure are being demanded given to them as sovereign...but with the Israeli infrastructure intact. Imagine if Arab neighborhoods in NYC or Dearborn, MI decided to claim autonomy because they want an Arab-only area and refuse rule by non-Arabs.

Netanyahu isn't Obama's bitch and he won't grovel to a leftist two-bit pro-Islamic little union hustler.

Give a finger and they will take a hand !! Either it's a complete Peace Deal in which case anything built is no problem - or just keep building - show the USA a finger (bird). They are sooo impotent that they cannot say Booo to a hoot!!!

named them please, I am waiting, lol you got nothing blaming Israel for your gov incompetance I reckon.

Congratulations you probably got the Jew Moskowitz killed by Hamas or some other lunatic Arab organization. What is it that makes Jews fight each other? I lived in Israel for 12 years, was highly successful and saw that every Jew thought he/she was smarter than the other Jews. If the Arabs were really smart they wouild make peace with Israel; a real peace. Within 10 years the whole country would fall apart and the Arabs could get everything they wanted and the Jews could continue wandering and being hated just for being Jews. Shame on you.
