This project started under olmert in 2007 and it was completed and the only obstacle left was to be paid for and the computer once paid for allows it to go ahead. Also it was the week before and Peace Now leaked it.

Any time is a good time to build and develop Jerusalem. Jews should have no need to fear building and developing and improving in their homeland. If not now , when ? Pres Obama is negotiating on behalf of PA for his own interests , which are not the same necessarily as that of Israel's best interests.

Sima betrays himself as a pathetic beggar,saying bibi was appeasing obama as if that's normal. Even when supported by the US, israel has a soveriegn and is not to grovel to obama or anyone else. You don't treat bibi right, then nothing is on, there is no deal. Arabs are not interested in having israel where it is and that is the crux of the matter. You think concessions will help, ask the chezks about munich.To be fair to the arabs, even kalidi, obama's ph.d. advisor hoped the arabs had accepted the white paper so eventually it would be an arab majority state-meaning end of israel. I agree that bibi vacillates, sweats, is uncertain of himself. But he has israel's best interest at heart. Not your buddy, olmert, a cheap crook and coward who is now throwing zaken to the wolves to save his merde skin. All of you covered up olmert's cowardice and encouraged him to make concessions. Dankner was a big culprit. Even margolin called olmert a miserable coward. Concessions will not bring peace or even lack of war unless the arabs reach such a decision on their own. So far, they don't want peace, only blood.

This is all that is neccessary. We are Jews, we are celebrating our Passover in Jerusalem. Do people understand how angry that makes Obama the Pharaoh? Obama is nothing compared to who Pharaoh was and is even more nothing in front of God.

israel should attack iran right now without saying a word to the us, let the iaf blow the hell out of the iranian nuke facilities, then when obama is standing there with his pants down wondering what just happened israel should announce that it will not be complying with any of obama’s demands. only by standing firm and acting independently from the us will israel be able to convince obama that he cannot push us around. hameed aboughaze, iranian

Isaiah 54 1"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear! Break forth into singing and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife," saith the LORD. 2Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. 3For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4"Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 5For thy Maker is thine husband" the LORD of hosts is His name" and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called. Joel 3 1"For behold, in those days and in that time, when I shall bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land. Zechariah 14 1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; WHOS SIDE IS HE ON, THE ISRAELI PM ???. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW4OPRb4uTs Arn.

Sima , bad news for you and the rest of "LEFT OVERS" . People of Israel know that they are being manipulated by media. The proof is the result of the last election , inspite that you tried really hard to brainwash us.

Kadmon and Kadima are pathetic. Israel is virtually unanimous on our right to settle our Eternal Capital. Yet Kadmon berates Bibi for doing just that. Clearly Kadima is a pathetic party of appeasement as much as Labor and Meretz are. Kadima, like Labor and Meretz, marches to oblivion. That is the best thing it could do for Israel.

Yes, the Left is the ennemy of Israel. The Jews are not united.

I believe the point that the Obama Administration is trying to make is that peace in Israel/Palestine is in everybody's best interest. Frankly, the US public is getting sick of giving huge amounts of aid to a country that snubs every attempt to make peace. We pulled the plug on apartheid in S. Africa and we're willing to do the same in Israel. Respect the equal human dignity of all now!

your stupidity..

every where world wide including US and the co called liberal ,secular and leftist jews as if being one of those is a crime. Jewish Taliban settlers are the true core Jews, the rest are garbage and enemies right?

for them to build on it, to raise families, to go heal the world. He gave arabs oil and all they have done is squander the profits.

Maybe Ynet needs a scoop because of competition from another news agency? Perhaps it means nothing that this was a Jewish area until the Jordanians threw the Jews out? There should have never been an issue with this property. It was jewish and should have been restored without delay.

If Ramat Shlomo or Sheperd's Hotel had not been announced, Obama would have found some other reason to be offended and condemn Israel, it would be anything, even Netanyahu's haircut or the color of the Ambassador shoes. Obama's plan is to delegitimize Israel and to destabilize Netanyahu's government. He really believes what his mentor Reverend Wright taught him, if he gets rid of the Jews there will be world peace.

There is NO need to be alarmist as this article seems to harp. There is no need to fear defending your GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED Land of Israel. Israel should continue building in Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. No external entities and powers have the right to meddle in Israel's internal affairs. If they choose to be fooled and manipulated by the Islamist-Jihadists, that is their problem. Israel will have to confront and counter the Islamist-Jihadist propaganda by using History, the Bible and Biblical Archaeology. Israel should and must continue to build, build and build in its eternal and indivisible capital-city of Jerusalem and in its liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria.

Obama wants peace for Israel. He wants to tell the world that Israel is ready to make peace. So Israel announces new construction. Bibi promised that he'd go on building but he wouldn't let them make another embarrassing announcement about it at a particularly bad time. Then immediately there was another embarrassing announcement at an even worse time. Bibi bragged about it. You can say that Obama would have found something else to be offended at, but you did not give him the chance to prove it. It's like somebody steps on your foot and apologises. "Sorry, I won't do it again." Then he does it again. "Sorry, it was an accident, I won't do it again." Then he looks at your foot, he looks you in the eye and he steps on your foot again. "Hey, this is getting tedious. How about you pretend I'm not stepping on your foot so I can stop apologising all the time."

House. Bibi should have slammed down the phone when hitlery clinton was barking at him. And should have told slow joe biden to take a hike. Why do we allow foreigners to enter our country to berate us? Or they diss our elected leaders. Enough, let us become independent already. Break ties with b.o. and his goons. They will be history soon.
