1. Anyone suggesting that Jews, only because they are Jewish,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.08.10)
should refrain from constructing their homes and moving to live in certain neighborhoods of Jerusalem, DC (Jerusalem, David's City) is proposing to apply racism, anti-Jewish racism at that. This practice, formally, passed from Washington, DC in the middle of the 20th century. To propose that it is applied in the beginning of the 21st century in the Jewish people's eternal capital city - as Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton do - is nothing short of an attempt to deal with applied racism, anti-Jewish racism. Never, never again!
2. #1 Hey Broken Record
Nour ,   One State   (11.08.10)
I hear you. But where are the Arab developments? Where is the relief to congested Arab classrooms in Jerusalem? Where are the Arab-only new developments in Jerusalem? Why are Arab merchants taxed so high they are forced to leave under threat of starvation? Why are Palestinians aged below 45 denied to even enter Jerusalem, let alone pray at the Al-Aqsa? You fool nobody. Jerusalem is being judaized in full swing, theft is occuring in broad day light, and Arabs are DENIED BUILDING RIGHTS TO BEGIN WITH. For this I see no other solution but escalation of the BDS movement and total isolation of the Apartheid entity.

colin   (11.08.10)
Jerusalem municipality passes more homes in Jerusalem. Fantastic -Great- keep building. Why does the municipality even advise the traiterous leftest press of the expansion of jerusalem. ??Must be some filthy leftest spy who hates Israel and wants to make jews look bad.
6. "continuing to build throughout the city for all sectors."
Cynic #2   (11.08.10)
What a load of CRAP!
7. There is NO such thing as "palestinians"
Jordan = Fakestan   (11.08.10)
on March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said: The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
8. World’s Shameful Reaction Is The Reason.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.08.10)
Moreover, the reaction from the PA will be as usual, quite horrendous ..This is nothing new. Time for people power to change the status quo in our occupied capital Jerusalem.
9. #2 Nour
Solomon ,   Bklyn   (11.08.10)
And declaring Rachels' Tomb and Hebron's Cave of Machpelah "Palestinian with no connection to Judaism and mosques" is the other side of the same coin. Yes, building by Arabs, etc. should be allowed. But entry is denied to Palestinians below the age of 45 because of riots that have occured; yet another case of Palestinians not taking responsibility for their own actions.
10. This is news? Grow up!

11. Green line, schmean line, all of Israel belongs to the Jews.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.08.10)
G-d gave it to them 3000 years ago and no one owns it but them.
12. No one seems to be telling a straight story...
seadog1946 ,   Shooter's Island, NJ   (11.08.10)
Haaretz is reporting 930 new housing units.
13. #2 Nour - Returning Jerusalem to pre '48 is not Judaizing
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (11.08.10)
Nour, you seem to forget that there has been a continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem for over 3000 years. The only time that East Jerusalem had no Jews was between '48 and '67 when Jordan kicked the Jews out. So this restoration is both moral and legal. When will you realize that the Palestinian state exists and has a Palestinian Queen and heir apparent: Jordan as promised by the Brits.
14. Israel & Bibi, you did good. Build wherever you will. Moshe

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.08.10)
Contemplate the possibility that the world is pretty sick and tired of the endless "Palestinian" whining. Did you say "people power?" The last time you tried an intifada, it didn't work out so well for you. You are well advised not to resort to violence or terror, because you will find yourself chanting "power to the people" in beautiful, downtown Amman. Really.
16. #1 does anybody believe houses for Jews Only isn't racism?
observer   (11.08.10)
17. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.09.10)
Can I buy a home in Umm al Fahm? No. How about Tulqarem? No. How about any other Arab village or town? The answer is still "No." Isn't that racism, too?
18. no 17 Musa Al Himar IBN Himar
JUDAH THE LION   (11.09.10)
Hi Sarah,according to Arabs no Jews will be allowed to live with them and to kick them out from Arab lands and to loot and confiscate their properties,money,gold,business,etc,.iit is OK and it is not consider to be racist or apartheid why because we are JEWS, but if we doi the same to them we are consider to be racist and it is not fair. The MUSLIMS ARE THE BIGGEST RACIST ON EARTH.
