1. "Settlements", and what about "violence from Gaza"? Should
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.10.10)
the Security Council not deal with the fact that part of the territory the Arabs want to control is used by them, nearly daily, to attack Israel and Israelis through the use of mortars, rockets and other forms of explosives? And why shouldn't the Security Council demand and require the PLO/PA to ensure that Gaza is under their peaceful control before they ask to negotiate further...??!!
2. too bad
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.10.10)
If Abbas wanted peace he could have agreed to Olmert's offers or he could have started negotiating 10 months ago at the start of the building freeze. The fact that he is looking for excuses means he doesn't want to negotiate. Clinton must be really mad at the Jews if she's paying Abbas $150 million for not negotiating when the American taxpayer can't afford it.
3. Jerusalem is not a settlement. it's a city
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (11.10.10)
in fact, Israel should build everywhere that it holds land. these "negotiations" have been going on for years and will never end. Israel needs to close the book and take what it wants. The Palestinians don't want peace. They want Israel. Let's hope Obama and Clinton are gone soon. Did Obama really have to bring up Israeli construction in Indonesia. Israel is just his whipping boy. Good thing he lost so much power in the last election.
4. Construction vs. Destruction??!!!
Reuven Ben-Tal ,   Jerusalem   (11.10.10)
Construction versus destruction is a no-brainer! Especially when we are building in our own land (which needs no one's approval whatsoever), and imperialitic and colonialistic muslim forces and trying to destroy us. Not only are the local arabs bizarrely hypocritical, but the so called "americans" (white anglo-saxons from europe) are equally hypocritical. Like the muslim arabs, the white anglo-saxons came from a different land to conquer land from the native population. Both should be ashamed.
5. answer to #1
vitenberg ,   France   (11.10.10)
settlements are not the problem Holy Hussein O. is
6. Abbas
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (11.10.10)
Jerusalem isn't a settlement. It's a city and our capital and no matter how you slice it we will build there. Obama and Hillary, if we can't build there, then the US can't build in D.C because that was a settlement too, land stolen from the Indians
7. A Nation's Embarrassments
Robert Leckie ,   Fernandina Beach, US   (11.10.10)
Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's stated positions on building plans in Jerusalem are embarrassments to the United States of America. Shame on you, Mr. President and Madam Secretary! Shame!
8. 150 million dollars to the corrupt PA for deposit in Swiss
BANKS!   (11.10.10)
9. Further answer #1
David ,   America   (11.10.10)
It is because the world hates us. Haven't you noticed? Don't you read the prophets? And the newspapers?
10. Security Council meet over Hamas Missiles into Israeli city
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.10.10)
The UN allows Sudan's al Bashir to get away with genocide ,Darfur and South Sudan, because he is a Muslim and only targets Israel because they are not. Time for Israel to send the UN a loud message of 'No More of this Crap.' START DEMANDING A LEVEL PL;AYING FIELD starting with UN action against Hezbollah and Hamas and nd to abusing Israel for building homes ON THEIR LAND.
11. Our enemies, which 72 years ago...
Norway   (11.10.10)
broke windows, are today trying to shatter the truth and Jewish history in the Land of Israel. They actively seek to annihilate the only country in the world where the Jewish people originated and wherein truth belongs. "Rewriting the history of the Land of Israel in order to deny Israel's right to exist is central to Palestinian Authority (PA) policy. Long before it started the Terror War in 2000, the PA was fighting a history war – erasing Jewish history and replacing it with a fabricated Palestinian history" (Palwatch.org). ”Jews persecuted in Europe because of their"great love of money:" PA TV history program (PA TV (Fatah), Oct. 10 and 17, 2010), by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook (Palestinian Media Watch). A history program on official Palestinian Authority television has repeated an odious PA distortion of history. PA TV is controlled by the office of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Obama: US to Pour $400 Million into PA (terrorist state): (INN, 06/10/10) The President also mentioned, once, the need for “more progress on both security as well as incitement issues” – to which Abbas responded, “I say in front of you, Mr. President, that we have nothing to do with incitement against Israel, and we’re not doing that.” Today, US Gives PA Additional $150 million...

12. abas and hilary
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (11.10.10)
To all of you, posters from # 1thru 6-Thank You for sharing the truth & your vision here. Just a few days ago,hillary's sour face was exposed,giving Bibi her dirty angry look...And see her now, standing by abas's side-all smiles and happy, rewarding him to the tune of 150 millions! For what ?Thru the decades of EU&US assistance palis received heavy billions, money for which they can't show a thing, other then making their leaders billioners...Who is Israel to negotiate with ? The palis' outrageous demands are best proof that it is not peace or acceptance of Israel that they willing to accept, but innihilation only...hillary and obama have become the weakest link in the worlds political arena-something really to laugh about....
13. Peace will come to Israel/Palestine
Mark   (11.10.10)
when the US stops using its veto. That's basically all it takes. Without the US veto, the UNSC could basically tomorrow lay down the outline of a fair, enforcable peace deal. The 60 year old conflict could be over in 60 minutes and everbody get on with building lives instead of destroying them
14. Democrats have no mandate to fund the terrorist P.A.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.10.10)
The recent shellacking of the Democrats prove Americans massively disagree with just about everything the Obama regime is doing. Including funding the terrorist P.A. Many more Americans support Israel than Obama. The Democrats have no mandate to fund the P.A. It's time to Americans to speak out clearly against this abomination, which endangers Israel and is against American interests.
15. Israel must end the Two State Final Solution charade.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.10.10)
Israeli leaders, like Bibi, feel it is clever to pretend to support the monstrous Two State Final Solution, while depending on our enemies to derail it with extremist demands. It is actually a stupid charade. Firstly, it leaves Israel vulnerable to charges of hypocrisy when we block the deadly abomination. Secondly, it leaves Israel's many millions of friends, especially in the U.S., powerless to stop Obama from trying to inflict the Two State Final Solution. Israel must end the Two State Final Solution charade. We must clearly, proudly reject it and claim ALL our land.
16. Look behind Hillary...
shmulke ,   w coast, USA   (11.10.10)
...and you'll see the master terrorist Arafat smiling upon her and Abbas' scheme! He's proud of his student Abu Mazen getting an extra $150 million out of a gullible American government, that will no doubt end up in exploded Qassams and mortars in Sderot or in Abbas' and his cronies' Swiss bank accounts.
17. See how her face resembles arafat's picture on the wall.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.10.10)
See how happy she is to pose in front of the picture of the murderer arafat. She and obumma are two peas in a pod.
18. Hillary and Addas,to #12, jenny
Elsie ,   gush halav   (11.10.10)
Jennie, Jennie, go to Haaretz and you will a photo of Hillary and Bibi smiling and quite happy together,so you see it depends where you look,as for the rest of your comments,yawwwwwwwwwwwn
19. 150.000.000 $$$$$$$ ?????????
tiki ,   belgium   (11.10.10)
Please, can somebody explain why Hillary gives $150 000 000 of US taxpayers money away, in this moment and time, with a US deficit like NEVER before, the Fed in need to print more and more money, the US voters just ONE week ago telling the Democrates they don't like their politics, etc. etc. Can somebody please explain to this stupid woman that PEACE CAN't BE BOUGHT!
20. Jews: whats' going on?
alan ,   Israel/USA   (11.10.10)
What an amazing thing that the ancient nation of Israel was reborn in our time…….by the way, this was foretold by the prophets in the Bible that the Jews would return to their homeland after being scattered all over the world and that the nation would be reborn in a day…Our President should support Israel but his policies and his scoldings towards Israel are inflaming the conflict over there…Iran is getting ready to nuke Israel….. short range missiles supplied to terrorists groups surrounding Israel are much more sophisticated and accurate, posing a greater threat to Israel civilians and military installations than ever before…The next war will be very devastating…..the hypocritical U.N. is totally anti-Israel on every level…statements coming from the Vatican deny Jews have any Biblical right to Israel.…Our college campuses and professors are increasingly anti-Israel and poisoning our young people’s minds with their hateful tirades against Israel. Our nation is built upon the precepts and values of the Hebrew Bible that came from God through the Jews. Such precepts God gave Moses like… the 10 commandments, don’t murder, don’t steal, love God, love your neighbor, don’t love false gods, etc. Even Christian values are from the Jews since Jesus himself was a Jew and the early Christian church was a Jewish movement consisting of all Jews and the majority of the New Testament was written by the Jews….The foundation of our nation is rooted in God’s principles and precepts through the Jews. If we as a branch sever and alienate ourselves from our roots what kind of fruit will our nation produce ? Branches without roots dry up. Anti-Semitism is wrong and apathy is wrong also. (Apathy: is an absence of emotion or enthusiasm.) So I say we have to get away from that and support the Jews and the State of Israel wholeheartedly.
21. 3 - Baruch - Bibi is a nice fellow the problem
Ahmes ,   E. Jeruslaem/ Palest   (11.10.10)
is he does not quite know eather he is coming or going. If he wants 2 states don't build, if he wants one state annex, build and give citizenship. Simpe, right?
22. US to give 150 million to Palestine to "boost" their gov.
Judy Sleiman ,   Ohio USA   (11.10.10)
I think we (USA) need to "boost" our own government and stop giving money to terrorist countries!
23. Selfdestructive US government !
Jaacov Baumann   (11.10.10)
'' He who curses Israel will be cursed ! '' The USA - a doomed nation !
24. to#20
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (11.10.10)
A very true and inspiring post. When I reflect on the history of our people in the past 66 years only, much of which is my own exodus, I find it nothing short of miracelous and prophetic events many of us has witnessed...
25. Abass didnt vote Jordan elections
Martin ,   SA   (11.10.10)
Abass, Clinton we made peace with Jordan. Surely you should realise you have no jurisdiction or claims on any territory. We will continue to build in all of Yerushalayim as we see fit. Mrs Clinton how can you have the audacity to get so cosy with Abbass. Are you part of the leadership of a peace negotiation or are you in fact really in with the Muslims and feeling miserable when we stake our claim to our territory where my family lived ie East Jerusalem not so long ago. And are you upset while these Arabs keep carrying on act of terrorism in our rightful territory. So the freeze is over now you regret you have no power over us. Abbass upsets you and tells you, Look these Jews are building again. You how miserable I am, cant we do something about it? So good friend and chick Hillary say. You know Im also upset. But you know what? Ill raid our petty cash and give you guys $150M and we can have a party and work out how to get out of out misery. Hillary then complained to Abbass How is it that Jordan was so quick to make peace with these Jews. Abbass says your right pity I should have voted in the democratic elections and maybe stood for President of Jordan cause they only have a Prime Minister and a King. Hillary says What a pity it would have been a great move. Maybe then Abass you could reverse that stupid peace deal and we could help too. Pity. Hillary go and talk to the real leaders in Jordan take you mate Abbass with you. Maybe we could get them to stop building every brick causes me such pain. Hillary calls Bibi. Hey gorgeous get them to stop building!, I cant bear to see Mahamioud so miserable. Help me even the UN are miserable I cant understand Why/ Bibi its enough no freeze re-focus. Jordan has not broken the peace with us. We earned it its real leave of with Abass or introduce him quietly to the ‘democratic’ leaders in Jordan. I’m sure they will chat to him for a few minutes or so. Abass has no mandate and is not negotiating he is trying to reverse the Jordan deal How can we let him and the rest get away with. We have for some years gone off on a tangent. No freeze stay on track console Abbass but that’s it. Your hands are tied Bibi I question whether you all have a real mandate. Did we not miss something somewhere? We are not negotiating on my families place in East Yershalayim cause its ours also Yehudah and Shomron its ours . Redefine with Jordan Abbass has fictitious claims. Why do we need to make Abass demand pre 67 boarders we should have annexed all after the Jordan deal now we have an absurd mess Please sort it out I would be very grateful to you. Tell Hillary to relax you need to chat to your lawyers and will get back to her. Abass can in the meanwhile take a powder and wake -up. Lets also wake up to the fact there is a misunderstanding. Lets review our way of dealing with fictitious scoundrels.
26. city is worse than settlement
observer   (11.10.10)
that means that Israel, in defiance of the whole world, annexes Jerusalem.
27. Jews, throughout history, have been told by too many people
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.10.10)
to refrain from living here or to refrain from living there. Enough! Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama, the latest to tell us where we can and where we can't live have taken it one step to much: they have now told us to limit our living space on earth even within our capital city of Jerusalem that this can't be! Jerusalem has been the Jewish people capital city for the past 3,000 years, since King David set it up as such, and it is not for anyone to tell us how to conduct our life in our capital city. Attempting to do so, be it Obama, Clinton or anyone else amounts to racism, anti-Jewish racism! Never Again!!
28. Republicans need to put a "hold" on that money
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (11.10.10)
Clinton is rather cavalier about promising other people's money. Just what claim do the Palestinians have not just on foreign money but on OUR money? If the Palestinians are facing a budget shortfall why is it the US that is expected to fill it? Why not the Saudis or the other rich Persian Gulf countries that are *so* demanding on behalf of their Palestinian "brothers"? I'm hoping someone in Congress - likely a Republican - will put a "hold" on that promised $150 million, just as a hold was placed on $100 million in military aid to Hizbullah-dominated Lebanon.
29. somebody tell me; is Israel's problem with the UN or the US?
observer   (11.10.10)
30. Hillary needs to open her eyes
Brod ,   USA   (11.10.10)
The number one enemy of America and Israel is ISLAMIST-JIHADISM. Stop crusading Jihadism on the Land of Israel.
