Salma ,   Palestine   (09.27.10)
2. Bad for Israel, bad for Jews
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (09.27.10)
Is building in East Jerusalem more important than the security of the entire country? Is building more important than our children? Is it not obvious that freezing construction, is a politically, socially and economically positive move? Freezing construction places the Palestinians in a position of compromise, not Israel. It is the most potent bargaining asset we have. Squandering it, bickering over it, and allowing the Palestinians to use it, is bad politics. Peace will require sacrifice, but this is a small sacrifice, for such an important bargaining tool. It is past time to use it effectively.
3. no.1
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.27.10)
Just one problem Salma ,the original title deeds ,if thy are still around will show who your so called Mom,s house in West Jerusalem belongs to ,the Jew who was forced out by the Jordanian army ,pre 1967?
4. #1 Construction renewed in Ariel.
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (09.27.10)
On that thread you claimed to be a refugee from Acre (Akka), did you grow up in a seperate home from your mother?
5. East Jerusalem is a non-issue
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.27.10)
East Jerusalem has been annexed and is a part of Israel. Any construction falls under Israel's absolute sovereign right of exercise of the principle of eminent domain. If the Arabs don't like it -- too bad.
6. Jerusalem
Brod ,   USA   (09.27.10)
Israel must defend every inch of its Eternal, Indivisible Capital-City of Jerusalem from the AntiSemite and Islamist-Jihadist Pagan usurpers. Jerusalem is Israel's Capital since ancient time. Just say NO to the dark forces who are trying to steal your GOD-GIVEN Jerusalem.
7. #4 My Dad from AKKA, My Mom from JERUSALEM !
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.27.10)
Is it a complicated mathematics question so you can't guess the answer by yourself?!!!!!!!!!!!
8. To salma
Kalfa ,   Jerusalem   (09.27.10)
My father and mother are from algeria but as a jew j havé nô right .but you as a muslim you havé everything you want Nice Country Nice neighbors. J give you the keys of the House we leave in1962.
9. "east Jerusalem" is Israel
RayS ,   USA   (09.27.10)
Not a plot of land to be given away. If Israel gives up this part of Israel , it does not deserve to be a State. No real country gives up it's historic base and no country has anything like the historic connection of Israel and the Jewish people to Jerusalem. It should not be a n issue for discussion.
10. salma , it's because of your leaders !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.27.10)
They told your parents to leave . They said that arab bullets can't see the difference between a Jew and an arab . They also told your parents that they will return in the footsteps of the "victorious" arab armies , who had thrown all the Jews in the sea . They had only big mouths . Look at the Israeli Arabs , they at least enjoy a good free life , do'nt live in camps as you did , all arab countries rejected you , and if you were allowed into one of them , it was without any rights . You could only own 49 % of your business in Kuwait , the rest by Kuwaitis , your "brothers" .
11. Brod , USA .
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.27.10)
Yeroushalaim was liberated by the IDF , no god involved . As you don't live here , you have an excuse for your ignorance .
12. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.27.10)
Yes, but in Arab culture, doesn't the woman go off to live with her husband and his family in their compound? That would be in Akko, then, not Jerusalem. And since when do women inherit property in the Arab world, anyway? Any living male relative has a greater claim to property ownership than any woman. So I take it your family fled from Akko and ended up as refugees wherever, is that what you are saying? And because your brother Arabs declined to assimilate you and give you a home, you think you have the right to come back to a home you voluntarily left and probably never owned in the first place? No wonder the Palestinians will never achieve anything -- you are too wrapped up in fantasies of restoration that simply will never happen. You people have had numerous chances to achieve your dream of an independent state, and have rejected each and every one. Along the way, you have engaged in unrelenting terror against Israeli Jews and Jews in the Diaspora. Do you understand how fed up we are with you and constant whining and violence? Or is it too complicated a mathematic concept for you?
13. Housing Minister extremist and disgusting person like any...
joe ,   kfar saba israel   (09.27.10)

14. #7 Well then as Israeli citizens...
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (09.27.10)
you should be able to get it straightened out in court, that is if your ownership papers are legitimate. By the way, will you go to live in the new state of "Palestine"?
15. #11 Charles, go easy on the guy....
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (09.27.10)
he's only a friend trying to help, and I also disagree with you about God not being involved.
16. to number 2
Jaia Sara ,   Jerusalem Israel   (09.27.10)
You are REALLY blind!!!
17. Salma 7
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (09.27.10)
My Dad from Akka,My Mom from Jerusalem, and my grandparents from Arabia came to Israel to the Jews to find work. Now we have to go back to our original ancestors in Arabia, because we are Arabs and this is not our land.
