9 Talkbacks for this article
1. Palestinians prove construction freeze not needed for peace
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (01.17.11)
The peace process is paralyzed, but not because of Israel. It is very legitimate and logical for Israel to insist on a total freeze on violent attacks by Palestinians in order to resume the peace talks. Just like the Palestinians insist on a total freeze on construction in Judea and Samaria before they resume the peace talks. You can either negotiate peace, or climb so high up your tree you can never get down. Normal Israelis and Palestinians want peace. It's time for the Palestinians to get down from their tree and back to the negotiating table.
2. Rocket hits orchard
observer   (01.17.11)
Orchards are not as costly as fortification.
3. #1 after your talkback they are certain that freeze is trick
observer   (01.17.11)
4. Orchard or not...
Sceptique ,   France   (01.17.11)
shooting a rocket on civilian population is a war crime, whether someone is hurt or not. We expect UNHRC and Goldstone to do something. How long should we wait?
5. #3 - in that case housing is "legitimate resistance"
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (01.17.11)
If the housing freeze was a "trick", then we can conclude from your logic that construction in Judea and Samaria is "legitimate resistance" to Palestinian aggression and stated intentions by the elected Hamas government to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic state.
6. Oh dear
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.11)
Bye-bye Hamas.
7. #4 the stress not on orchard, but on non-fortification which
observer   (01.17.11)
is not as costly as orchard.
8. To: Nos. 2, 3 and 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.11)
I have told you and told you, but you are evidently too dense to grasp the concept. The mere fact of launching a missile is enough. No one cares about its efficacy. Frankly, Hamas are a bunch of terrorist cowards who hide behind women's skirts and small children. No one in Israel cares about cost. No one in Israel cares about where the missile fell. They care that it flew. Israel has made it abundantly plain that it holds Hamas responsible for everything that happens in Gaza. If Hamas is not up to the task of managing its affairs in Gaza, Israel will take care of it for them. And this time, it will be the last time. We have grown quite tired of those terrorist cowards.
9. #5 would have been right, if housing on sovereign land
observer   (01.17.11)
