And don't stop for anything or anyone (including IDF).
2. THANK YOU Ynet for the good news. You made our day.
Shalom   (09.01.10)
and you made the day for many people worldwide with this wonderful news. While the Arabs are busy with destruction, the Jews, thank G-d, are busy with constructive building. May the Jews keep up their good work for the benefit of Jews globally.

4.  Abu Jabr doesn't want to get caught in hamas crossfire
Avi Steinson ,   Tel Aviv   (09.01.10)
That's why he's afraid of jews living near him, colateral damage
5. Keep Building! One-State here we come!
Nour ,   One-State الدولة   (09.02.10)
Where's my Israeli passport? What? Non-Jews are denied citizenship? Apartheid will not be accepted - BDS now! PS. Settlers, good doing business with you.
6. :: A futile Zionist response
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (09.01.10)
It is shameful to see the Yesha Council jump on the tragic murders of the four illegal settlers and use this as an excuse to continue their illegal building in a clear effort to stop the peace talks. Recall that Abbas stated quite clearly that the peace talks would stop if anymore illegal settler construction started in the Palestinian WB? Well that is exactly what the illegal settlers want, they are not interested in ‘peace’, they are not interested in ‘co-existing’ with their fellow Palestinian neighbors. In truth these settlers are no different from the Palestinians who murdered the four illegal Israeli settlers, their actions are different but their goals are just the same - they do not want peace at any cost. Their “Zionist response” is futile for the same reason that the attack on the four settlers was futile. A peace agreement will be reached and all the illegal settlement building will have been for nought.
7. Here we leave back to Hejaz!
Nour, 22 States + ,   One from Jews   (09.02.10)
Cannot put up with the native Jews, they are too stubborn that they want us off their land.
8. hamas and the settlers are on the same side
sami ,   Atlanta   (09.02.10)
they are both desperate to kill the peace process since their very existence depend on war. remove the war and they both become irrelevant!
9. Never in history there was a palestinian state nor people !
Jaacov Baumann   (09.02.10)
Therefore : why not building in Jehuda/Shomron ! The building from the muslim side has to stop in Judead / Samaria : this land is Israels - go home to your arab nations !
10. beautiful
pini ,   usa   (09.02.10)
its our land neways, palys leave your country is across the sea its called "the entire arab world"
11. Hamas and their Jealosy JEWISH people
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.02.10)
Hamas has only one strategy, destroy Israel, after that fails they will be useless. What happens when the Palestinian middle class explodes. Do you think they will want war with Israel, and lose everything they just built, flattened. Will hate win over peace and comfort? The Muslim world needs to come out of the middle ages and back to the future. At one time in history, after the fall of Rome, the world went into the "dark ages". Islam help bring the world back, from the awful times, because of there well known scholarship and preservation of records and books. Now, you devolved back into the the Dark Ages, but you don't want help, only hurt people. As an example, 1 person of every 5 people on the Planet Earth is Muslim. But what have you contributed to world society, to make things better for mankind. NOTHING. But the people you love, to hate (the Jewish people) have saved millions and millions of lives worldwide with contribution to medicine and science etc., time to jump on the bandwagon of life, not death. As we can see HERE: http://www.jewishmag.com/99mag/nobel/nobel.htm Time to wake up and smell the coffee, many of you are alive today, because of the contributions made by the people you hate most, Jewish people. Then again, Maybe your jealousy of them, is what makes you hate them so. After all, if you take away oil and tourism what Muslim country would have any money. You guys don't make anything, just suck oil, and show off your past to tourists. Maybe, that all you guys will ever be, sad. Israel on the other hand built a nation with a thriving economy, without oil, with brains. Why don't you join Israel, leave the hate behind, work together, and have a great life. I wrote this for the young Arabs, your fathers, uncles, aunts etc., lets just say, the old geezers out there, rebel against them. Life is to short, enjoy it. Tell Hamas to shove it. And you young Jewish kids of the ultra-orthodox, tell your dad, forget about it, I want to live in peace. It's up to the young. CASE CLOSED
12. NO PEACE NO FREEZE
Ben S ,   USA   (09.02.10)
It's about time the Israelis started building again. Take it all and remove the vermin.
13. #5 Nour. Yes, One State. But NEVER a "Palestinian" one!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.02.10)
#5 Nour. You are correct that we are on our way to One State. However, you are delusional to believe it will be a "Palestinian" state. The "demographic time bomb" is a proven myth. Jews are an increasing majority in Israel, including Judea and Samaria. Ultimately, most Arabs will take a fair compensation package to leave our land.
14. Amen!
Brad ,   USA   (09.02.10)
This whole discussion is stupid. Just build whenever you feel like it. If the rest of the world likes it, good. If they don't like it, that's just as good.
15. Reply #1,2 yes build Palestine
Avi ,   Tel Aviv   (09.02.10)
If you think for one minute that turing the Occupied west bank in to a concrete jungle somehow endorces your claim to Palestinian land you are very much mistaken. For soon you will become part of Palestine, so thanks for all the hard work and building , which will be much appreciated by the new Palestinian residents. Follow the news, the parties over folks.
16. Equating murder with building is a new low Matty
Ilan ,   Amoral matty   (09.02.10)
You are completed wicked in the head if you can't distinguish a moral difference between shooting civilians at point blank to ensure the execution and starting to build a public building. I hate the hypocrisy of fascism posing as liberalism.
17. Churchill will not be happy
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls   (09.02.10)
So the Whitepaper doesn't stand afterall. Anglophiles love to forget that Churchill demanded that the illegal actions to block the entry of Jews into their homeland and leave no restriction on the other was on his order despite his Yehudiphile words that are repeated as if a talisman to keep the truth buried. It is the land of your forefathers so live on it like thye did with repect for each other and expulsion of all enemies. Barak's and BB's evil dictates will no longer be tolerated.
18. the settlers are our brave jewish heroes and we luv you.
debra ,   usa   (09.02.10)
19. The usual "Matty Groves" propaganda
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (09.02.10)
echniques. He compares the ambush and murder by Hamas of four unarmed Israelis in an automobile and fails to mention the dances of joy in Gaza to Jews building in Shomrun and Yehuda as if it's the same. "Matty Groves" makes false equivalencies as part of his overall strategy to slip it by the Reader in order demonize Jews and Israel. Won't work "Matty". Try Haaretz where they'll love you.
20. A futile response from Matty Groves
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.02.10)
It is shameful to see Matty Groves make more excuses for the Palestinians. In response to the YNET article about Israel's interior ministry easing conditions for Israelis to purchase firearms to protect themselves, Groves called not for the disarming of Palestinian terrorists, but for the disarming of Israelis who are shot at. Here in his talkback #6, Groves again ignores the reality and tells us that "Abbas stated quite clearly that the peace talks would stop if anymore illegal settler construction started". Oh really? And where has Abbas been for the entire duration of the construction freeze? Negotiating? Of course not. The Palestinian response to the construction freeze was to avoid the peace talks. They are not only weak and unable to sign on any agreement, but we have serious doubts about Palestinian will for the two-state solution. Outside of some English language press interviews, there is no evidence that the Palestinians want it. It's not that we Israelis do not want peace at any cost - we see that after 17 years the Palestinians are clearly still incapable of ruling themselves, let alone signing a peace treaty. Of course Hamas does not want peace. But then, neither does Fatah at the price of leaving Israel in place and Palestinian descendants in situ in other Arab countries. Groves simply can't come to terms with that.
21. cowardly government!!
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (09.02.10)
it is time to break the back of this cowardly government.. If the government can't protect its people, but choses to favor the people's enemies, then the government should fall! go, settlers, go
22. good
George ,   New York, USA   (09.02.10)
Pressident Obama and Mayor Gloombag go out of the way to build mosk at Ground Zero, so let settlers build on their land.
23. #5 The Islamic Republic of Gaza
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.02.10)
Where you can still get a good deal on block housing with an ocean view. Hamas is making sure there is no Palestinian state, only a province of Iran. Fayyad also promotes non-cooperation with Israel, even if it's counter-productive. Too bad for you Nour. If your family hadn't run away in the face of Arab invaders in '48, you likely would have Israeli citizenship. Non-Jews representing some 20% of Israel's Arab population are citizens of Israel. If you boycott Israel, you also boycott Arab Israelis and compromise the most viable labor market for your fellow Palestinians. Go ahead Nour, shoot yourself in the foot.
24. Jew-free equals globol racism
Miriam ,   Jerusalem   (09.02.10)
There is no such thing as 'Palestinian territory', there are areas within the Jewish homeland where Arabs are the majority and areas where the Jews are a majority. If the world is to accept Arab cleansing their 'Palestinian Territory' of Jews, then Jews have to be crazy to even considering that this is a real peace,
25. build happily and succesful
mucho trabajo ,   not spain   (09.02.10)
26. This is the real problem
Oren ,   Or Yehuda   (09.02.10)
It is not their land. Did they buy the land? Did they get building permits? There is no such thing as palestinian land, but is teh land zoned for construction? Can I go and lay a cornerstone on their property and say I am building a settlement
27. Peace should not be based on ethnic cleansing
Oren ,   Israel   (09.02.10)
Let Jews build wherever they chose. It is their right to do so and no freedom lover can deny it.
28. O settler state
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.02.10)
Your days are numbered....Isn't it ,Ynet ?!! boker tov ;)
29. building
fred paul ,   atlanta USA   (09.02.10)
a country that does not grow will die, a two state solution is correct, Jordan is their state not the west bank
30. Rebuilding settlements
Seraphim ,   South Canaan, PA   (09.03.10)
Are you guys kidding? Listen, I know you think you're doing your 'rights' but I don't think that land is yours. Doesn't make Palestinians right to attack you, but I can understand why they'd be upset! Can't you just pull with the peace negotiations? Please?
