31. to #14 not really the houses were dimolished
ghostq   (06.24.10)
shortly after 1964 new building were built since than. there r no orange groves or olive groves on the west side, only very tall towers. you see before 1964 arabs put siege on the jews in jerusalem, no fresh water electricity or food, back than no humanitarian aid, and once in a while arabs snifered the jews in the old city, the jewish brother grave is still there, you whine on something you started, I call it justic.
32. Ban Doesn't Get It
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (06.24.10)
Might makes right and the IDF and settlers have the guns. Israel's government cares not one whit for the Laws of Armed Conflict or international law. They think there is a big EXCEPT ISRAEL in all obligations under all international treaties.
33. # 22 what kind of tree is that?
Ron   (06.24.10)
34. The City of David
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (06.24.10)
The land the houses are on is The City Of David which belongs to Israel the people of Silwan illegally built houses beyond their boundaries encroaching on to the City Of David. How is it when Israel builds illegal housing we have to knock them down but when the Arabs build illegal housing the whole world condemns Israel? Tomorrow I am going to build a house on the grounds of the White House and one on the grounds of Buckingham Palace..
35. Ban is obsessed
Edwin   (06.24.10)
Every day this little fool continues to get involved with Israel's matters. He really has a hard on for giving Israel grief. How much more obvious can Ban be on the fact he has a genuine hatred for Israel? You're wasting the UN's time on housing??? Really? Illegal housing at that. Why don't you go to some other countries in the middle east and observe the illegal activities going on? Why he won't? Because he hates Israel. UN is led by a hateful little bastard and he really needs to shut his trap. Go do some real work, you phony!
36. #32 Mark of Lewiston
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (06.24.10)
If you want to give half a capital to the "Palestinians", why don't you give them half of Washington, D.C.?
37. Enough!
Bearded Boegyman ,   Yehud Medinta   (06.24.10)
The UN is a criminal organization. Mr Moon's fat cat employees are engaged in subversion and aid to our enemies. We could free up a great deal of real estate in Ramat Eshkol by booting the bastards out. It is time we recognize them for what they are.
38. come on
Abed   (06.24.10)
Any real honest person who reads a bit and knows history knows that islam believes that Israel and Jerusalem belong to the Jewsih people. Do not go against the real islam! Palestinians are not a nation never were, but want to be.
39. Gharqad (Boxthorn) - The Tree of Jews

40. To Nour and Palestinian
JUDAH THE LION   (06.24.10)
To the Palestinians number 2 you said Hands off Jerusalem.You are 100% right Palestinians take off your hands from Jerusalem and go to Saudi Arabia where you belong. Israel is JEWISH AND the capital of Israel is Jerusalem and your holy North KOREAN book saying YA BNEI ISRAIL.Who are these people JEWS OR MUSLIMS.Jerusalem was the city of King Solomon and King David.Who are these two Kings JEWS OR MUSLIMS.Answer these question Mr Palestinian and Mr Nour Be BRAVE and dont twist things as usual
41. satire
easy rider ,   Ger   (06.24.10)
It's contrary to wishes of Palestinian residents' - and that makes it of course contrary to int'l law.
42. Shut up ku Moon!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.24.10)
When Jewish houses are razed,we don't hear you and your likes murmuring. Now,shut up when justice is applyed in Israel. Just shut up!
43. # 40 "Israelis" are False Jews
n.d   (06.24.10)
If 2000 years of Palestinian/arab rule didn't make the land Palestinian/arab, then 62 years ain't going to make it Israeli.
44. to #38 that is what I say all along
ghostq   (06.24.10)
palis try to change Islam acording to their political view, when they don't accept something in their own book they invent idees that will alow them to do what ever they want.
45. nr. 28-israeli.
sjoerd van der velde ,   hoorn-the netherland   (06.24.10)
you are right at my opinion, the jewish- and palestinian people in one country.
46. 36 Albrecht Klein
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (06.24.10)
We didn't conquer them and haven't occupied them belligerently for nearly half a century. We made peace with those we conquered and made them citizens by birthright, but with extra rights. In my part of the country, they have FIRST call on water and natural resources.
47. #14 Tough titty
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (06.24.10)
If you guys hadn't declared war on us in 1948...you wouldn't be crying now....apart from coveting our achievements. Inshallah isn't enough, you know
48. #21Lol Nice try again, again...and again
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (06.24.10)
You're completely wrong lara. You are clearly using anti-Zionism as a cheap mask for you Jew-hatred and consuming jealousy of us, rather transparent, I'd say. Here...go educate yourself.... ...and don't mess with me and the Balfour Declaration or the ensuing Treaty of San Remo...unless you want your inability to reason to shine. http://ctstv.com/ontario/player.php?ctsvidID=17133&show=On
49. :: Jake - #7 - I challenge your Lie
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.24.10)
This lie is often trotted out and never with any reference to *actual* international law(s). In truth *Acquisition of Territory by Military Conquest is Illegal*, this was reaffirmed in: UN SC Res’s 237, 242 and 681 which states the “inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war”. I would also point out that military occupation does not lead to Sovereignty. These two principles are enshrined in: a) UN Charter, article 2, para. 4 (1945). b) Declaration on Principles Of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-Operation among States in accordance with The Charter Of The United Nations (1970), Principle 1. c) Hague Regulations IV (1907), articles 43 & 55. d) Geneva Conventions IV (1949), article 47 & 54. So Jake before you assume to lecture Ban Ki Moon on International Law can you humor us by backing up your claim that “Israel has every right to annex territory conquered in a defensive war” by referring to ‘actual’ international laws that give Israel this so-called ‘right’?
50. Missing Facts
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (06.24.10)
YNET-you forgot to mention that not only does Israel want to demolish ONLY 20 illegal Arab homes, she wants to BUILD 1,000 new homes---for ARABS!!!!! I guess that little piece of information doesn't fit nicely with either Ban's or your anti-Israel rants--so you both just eliminate it! ooops!
51. Albert Einstein agrees @ 22
(06.24.10)
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
52. to #45 there is such place, you might heard on
ghostq   (06.24.10)
the stat a place named Israel, not all citizens r jewish some r arabs they even serve the IDF got parliament representation, the problem start when the arabs who call themselves palis don't want jews anywhere near them, that the main key, they also don't want chritians anywhere near them. so go drink Kafee you didn't awake yet.
53. no 43 Israelis are false Jews
JUDAH THE LION   (06.24.10)
Can you explain what you mean by Israelis are false Jews.
54. to #49 the one who started the war were arabs
ghostq   (06.24.10)
the war in 1948, back than jews lived on the east side of jerusalem, you can't conquer a place you buy, the problem with you matty that from warr to war reality change rules r change and every new agreament revoke the privious before him, if we took your atitude than the UK should return many lands to france, but since you like so much laws that r not valid anymore, from body that isn't valid anymore(human rights r neglacted the kyrgystan bad situation got only 8 lines, until now the amount of dead is big) than be my guest.
55. mon-ki ban is unhelpful (to Israel)
jason white ,   afula, israel   (06.24.10)
and illigetimate also. The arabs are the illegal settlers and have no right to be in Jerusalem the capitol of the Jewish state of Israel. May the no.koreans take over mon-ki bans country soon.
56. #46 Mark of Lewiston
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (06.24.10)
The Arabs started several wars against Israel and, as a consequence, lost parts of their territories. You seem to believe that Israel should give these territories back. OK. Do you also believe that Germany should get back the territories we lost in WW II?
57. israel's answer
(06.24.10)
who gives a crap what the world thinks.....
58. No. 53
Voice   (06.24.10)
Westerns don't like to sit with Easterns. Russian don't like converts. Ethiopians say it also. Abram wasn't Israeli nor
59. Hanky Banky
Ben ,   USA   (06.24.10)
Give Banky a hanky. He's constantly crying about Israel. He should stop worrying about 20 illegally built homes, and concentrate more on a nuclear Iran. Banky has been a Jew hater from day one.
60. Ban is a tool of Islamist-Jihadism
Brod ,   USA   (06.24.10)
Ban has become a tool of Islamist-Jihadism. With the wolves and tigers dominating the UN, the UN has become the mouthpiece of Islamist-Jihadist Crusaders. Israel can tell them to go to Hell. Jerusalem is the capital-city of Israel since ancient time. The Islamist-Jihadists should get out of the Land of Israel or be removed. So long as they are there, they will continue to usurp the Land of Israel as they do to other countries they are in including Europe and America.
