31. israeli government stupidity!
innocent ,   sapele,nigeria   (06.29.10)
its a pity that the government of the day is been remoted by any super power including lesser powers to lick the dust. i think netanyahu or whatever his name is should know that people fought and died for the unification of jerusalem and if they(including barak) feels giving east jerusalem will make israel safe or will bring the so called political peace well they better think again,cause it won't stop there for there will not be a knesset neither a jewish state anymore! Netanyahu,barak.livni,peres are the ones selling israel for their own peace!

SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (06.29.10)
E. JERUSALEM IS CAPITAL OF PALESTINE !
35. Joint Jihadist-Crusader take over of Jerusalem?from England?
(06.29.10)
Jihadist and Crusadeers used to fight with each other over Jerusalem before, each hoping to occupy the land of Jews, and kill them all. but this time they are helping each other and unfortunatley they are being helped by Israeli Leftists traitors. Thier aim is the same as it was during the last 2000 years of Christinainy and 1400 years of Islam: to occupy Jerusalem and take it from its Jewish owners.
36. Saladin was the Muslim ruler who once occupied Israel, with

his army. now they are trying to do it again with trickery and deciept. they now if they attack Israel they will suffer heavily too.
37. England is trying to arm and then entice Israeli Arabs to at
European Emprialism   (06.29.10)
England is trying to arm and then entice Israeli Arabs to riot and attack Israel and start a civil war in the country after which they hope other Arab and Islamic countries will be enticed to start a regional war against Israel. If England and EU and Russia could just leave the middle East alone there could be peace but they need to keep the region on fire.
38. How can this be???
Rosie   (06.29.10)
So where are the MK like Ms Livni. Where are you? Are you helping the EU?
39. ISRAELIS: You don't have an Israeli government anymore
Marcella   (06.29.10)
What you have is a group of local administrators following orders from their masters in the White House and the EU. "A senior European intelligence official expressed his surprise at Israel's willingness to allow Saladin to operate in Israeli territory." Surprise? Why? There's no limit to Israeli subservience. Nothing is off-limits for the local administrators now. Golan, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria.... USA, EU, Arabs, anybody: Just ask and the administrators will comply.
40. EU/ British trained "Terror Squad" is more like it.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.29.10)
Probably the first of many to come.
41. Jerusalem
Alex ,   New York, USA   (06.29.10)
East Jerusalem is occupied territory under international law. It's far from being "jewish" jerusalem.
42. Israel must stop outrageous E.U. meddling once and for all.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.29.10)
The E.U. feels that it can get away with increasing destructive meddling in Israel's affairs because Israel has never put an end to it in the past. It's training of "Palestinian" terrorists to menace our Eternal Capital is despicable. The E.U. can't even manage it's own economy and affairs properly. Israel must stop outrageous E.U. meddling in our affairs once and for all.
43. EU training Arabs in Israel?
Rick S. ,   USA   (06.29.10)
WTF??? Are the Israelis completely crazy for allowing it? Who the hell is the EU to to have Saladin train the Palis? Do Isrtael's leaders have a clue as to what they are doing?
44. re# 3 Birdi
Cali Cal ,   los angeles, ca   (06.29.10)
Why not call them Jerusalem Palestinian Arab Muslims who have lived their for centuries . Yemenites speak Arabic, look Arabic, dress Arabic yet you call them Jews because it makes you feel good. Let the Palestinians define who they are.
45. re 1:How about Palestinian tribe of Canaanite
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.29.10)
Non-Jews have lived in area for over 4000+ years and Jerusalem was a Canaanite village before King David built it in to a Jewish city. This fight has been on and off for 3000yrs since Moses lead the Jewish people out of Egypt/Sinai.
46. Maybe not a bad thing
Israel   (06.29.10)
Well look at it this way, the democrat Palestinians hate the Hamas and imagine next time an Arab riot comes up the Palestinians take care of that instead of Jews and thus no one will be judged a monster by the stupid people of the world. BTW I think in time to come this may sound silly but Palestinians will rather take Israel side then Iran's side, just like the Arab countries are doing. Really when Palestinians attack Israel with terrorism it's always some underground organization not official soldiers like this guys.
47. British firm=Predictable
DT ,   TA Israel   (06.29.10)
You can expect more active support than this from "Englandistan". They will lose here juts as they are in Afghanistan
48. Get a grip Israel
john   (06.29.10)
After 2000 years of exile and hardship etc. and only 62 years of nationhood and independence, is israel ready to commit suicide by alowing these ex British occupiers to train the future islamic fighters? who the E.U probably hopes one day these fighters will eventully become an Islamic army which will crush Israel, Israel must always ban such trojan horses from operating in the country.
49. Israel is in on this too, ever heard of work permits??
Adam ,   Tel Aviv   (06.29.10)
Obv they will be given work permits to come and work in Israel, if Israel didnt want them they wouldnt get visas. This story is misrepresented, it is like creating informers within the arab community. If you believe that Israel was not backing this and want to insist we (the jews) are forever victims then sort your life out, your paranoid loons.
50. What about Israel' sovereignity ?
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (06.29.10)
Every day our politicians are weaker and weaker instead of reacting firmly against all the US and European attempts to destablize Israel
51. We don't learn from our own mistakes.
Dr Yeruham Leavitt ,   Kiriat Arba, ISRAEL   (06.29.10)
We don't learn from our own mistakes. Only days after we gave rifles to the "palestinian" police, during the Arafat-Peres-Rabin tragi-comedy, they used the same rifles against us. How many times can we repeat the same stupid moves in the same stupid game? When you try to appease terrorists you only get more terror.
52. #3 and #1
Dr Yeruham Leavitt ,   Kiriat Arba ISRAEL   (06.29.10)
They are plain arab terrorists. Everybody knows that the Jews were the vast majority in East Jerusalem until the Jordanian army conquered and occupied in 1948. My wife has a friend who left food boiling in a pot in her kitchen when she had to run away from the Jordanians. In fact my Arab neighbors in Hebron used to admit that they came from all over the Middle East until Shimon Peres convinced them that they were a "nation" called "palestinians".
53. the Brits adds fuel to the fire, they want to see
ghostq   (06.29.10)
blood of innocents civilians in the streets of Jerusalem, they make me sick, they created the conflict and now they do everything in power to maintain it. much like supervisine jordanian aramy in 1948, they made jews meet fodder, sound like after the oil in mexico bay they should be judged on international court with evidences to pay compansation toward jews.
54. The name Saladin says it all
(06.29.10)
55. #34 Saying it does'nt make it so.
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (06.29.10)
56. to #45 you got mish mash of names and tirbes
ghostq   (06.29.10)
there was no palestinian tribe in jerusalem there was philistins, philistins were greek who migrated from the west and they used to habe Human sacrify in the city, they burned alive male babies to the Molech, philistins r not palestinian, the people who named themselves today palis r arabs who migrated from the east not from the west and very simitic but philistins were greek, yevus weren't semitic the knaanit yevus r also not philistins and they r the people who sold the jerusalem to david, yes yevus own the area and they sold it to david in th eold testament there is also the amount.
57. trying to divide the city by stealth & Israel is allowing it
zionist forever   (06.29.10)
Suddenly after all the years these institutions have been based in east Jerusalem the EU feels they need extra protection and that protection must be provided by palestinians who they intend to train from scratch rather than Shin Bet or Israeli profesional security who are already highly trained & armed. The EU is trying to create a palestinian police force for east Jerusalem so when the time comes to talking about dividing the city the EU will say look the palestinians already have a police force in Jerusalem and have done for quite some time. Its creating a situation on the ground to help divide the city and Israel is sitting back debating weather they should issue gun permits to these people. Why are we not stopping it? Israel runs all of Jerusalem and the EU run nothing so why is this government allowing it. We should say if you want extra security we will provide it we are not having palestinians or anybody else in charge of security in Jerusalem. Is this government ever going to show some leadership and tell our European enemies this is our capital if you want extra security at your institutions you deal with us not palestinians and trying to create a palestinian police force for Jerusalem via the back door.
58. #1 Is right. We have seperate races, like Asians, Africans,,
lara ,   Australia   (06.29.10)
Europeans & South Americans I am Palestinian on my fathers side, and Lebanese on my mothers side. I will never refer to myself as an Arab. Others however, will refer to me as an Arab. It is our language, not our race. Asia is probably the best example of this, they're Asian but identify by their race. If you were to call a Japanese person Chinese they would be very offended by your ignorance as would Lebanese people if you called them Iranian. You would not take the situation in Korea and base judgement on the entire Asian population because of it. So why do you do it with "Arabs"? Almost every race and religion has commited horrific acts, these acts do not reflect everyone. Our language does not define our race and/or religion or who we are as individuals. We are not the same and do not appreciate generalizations.
59. Kick the EU out too
Jamie Rowles ,   London   (06.29.10)
Baroness Ashton and the EU are trying to build kudos & their reputation by trying to bully Israel into a quick fix solution. They see humanitarian aid as a 'soft power' - the help they give to the Palestinians isn't done out of humanitarian concerns but to have leverage over Israel. This soft-power should be removed & replaced with Israeli funded assistance. It may be a drain on the State but better than allowing foreign powers exert their power. Ashton is primary concerned about making a reputation for herself - whilst weak boarders will cause long term damage to Israel. You only have to look at how disastrous shared cities after World War I. The League of Nation referendums on which territory should go to which country encouraged foreign powers to stir endlessly and was a major factor in WWII.
60. #1 - Can you prove they've been there for "centuries"?
William ,   Israel   (06.29.10)
Just since 2002, many, many "Palestinians" have streamed into Jerusalem to be inside the security wall that went up. In 1948, tons of Arabs were sent into that part of Jerusalem to take possession of Jewish property after the ethnic cleansing, and as a stronghold by the Jordanians. In the 1930s, thousands and thousands of Arabs arrived as illegal economic migrants and went where ever there was work. Jerusalem happened to be one of those places that saw lots of investment. Whether they are locals or not, they cannot be armed and act as a separate unit outside of Israeli security, the way Hizbullah operates outside of LAF.
