We appreciate what you are doing as a Prime Minister and hope you are sincere, but something tells me you are not telling the Americans the same thing? Direct or indirect talks should not change your stance on Jerusalem, so we hope you are not building for the next 2 years because of it being not on scheduled, rather than pleasing the Americans and the Parasites (I mean Palestinians)? I think it would be best to keep on announcing building in Jerusalem to the world over and over, until they get it.
3. Bibi says what suits his audience. He is utterly unreliable.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.10.10)
Very high placed credible American sources tell us Bibi agreed to a defacto building freeze in Jerusalem. Some also claim he's agreed to a wholesale Israeli retreat to our suicidal pre-1967 lines. Bibi, on the other hand, claims he made no commitment not to build in Jerusalem. What can one conclude? Bibi says whatever his audience wants to hear. When Bibi speaks to Obama, he agrees to freeze settlement in Jerusalem. When he addresses Likud, and other patriotic parties, he says he didn't agree to freeze building in Jerusalem. He is utterly unreliable. In fact, very little new Jewish building is happening in Jerusalem.

Bibi has agreed not to build in Ramat Shlomo for the next 2 years and the idea thats bureaucratic rather than political is about as believable as Obama when he says he is a friend of Israel. Since the spat with the US after Bidens visit all building in Jerusalem has been reduced to a trickle and demolishing illegal constructions by arabs has stopped. Bibi has sold out to Hussain Obama and he has also agreed that Jerusalem will be on the table during peace talks his initial speeches about there being no deals on Jerusalem seems to have been reversed just like all his other tough talking promises. This country needs men like Moshe Felgin in charge when we have enemies in the White House not a man who is not much better than Livni and Barak.
5. Ramat Shlomo is not in East Jerusalem but North
Shame   (05.11.10)
Ramat Shlomo is located in North Jerusalem. Its amazing how ignorant Israel newspapers are with a typical lie in their reports. It is however over the Green Line. Wonder if this will pass the censors?
6. Netanyahu.....
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (05.11.10)
he's a shameless liar! His political career is coming to an end. He will go down in israeli history as the most disgusting PM Israel ever had!
7. The Americans attempted to spin a moratorium on
Batsheva ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.11.10)
construction in Jerusalem based on a simple comment the prime minister made to Mr. Biden, and have been hoping to appease the Arabs in such a way. But the Americas know full well, as the Arabs do that Jerusalem, Israel's capital city and sovereign territory will not be part of any attempt by outsiders to stop life in it. We should rest assured that on the eve of Yom Jerushalaim (Jerusalem Day) no stoppage of construction activity is to be expected by anyone!

Bibi is nothing more than a snake oil salesman and certainly not an ideal choice for PM the problem is the only viable alternatives are Livni & Barak. Sadly Liberman doesn't have a hope of ever being PM and the men like Moshe Felgin are being driven out of Likud. Unless he is in a mainstream party like Likud he is never going to be in a position of real influence let alone PM. Right now we are screwed with Bibi and we are screwed without him.
9. Double-talk
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.11.10)
Sounds like double-talk to me. Please Hashem, send us a leader with courage, integrity,Torah knowledge and an understanding of the Jewish mission on earth.
10. livni is good !
eporue ,   europe   (05.11.10)
maybe her idea with the street between gaza and west bank etc wasnt all that good... but for the current challenges israel is facing, she would be the best choice, together with barak. she is an intelligent person, and clearly dedicated to the country, not that ego-driven... every leader needs intelligent advisers. see merkel: i dont think she is the worlds wisdom-fairy, but she has such advisers and listens to them. livni has, what bibi is (unsuccessfully) dreaming of: leader skills, especially self-assertion. livni would be really good !
11. Peace with Israel
JUDAH THE LION   (05.11.10)
What peace.Today the druze leader JUmblat said he is not intrested to do any peace with Israel. The arabs want whole of Israel and to kill all the Jews nothing more or less.
