1. Excellent move: This is a demonstration of how we, Jews,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.13.11)
sanctify life, creativity and construction while they sanctify the extinction of life and the destruction of all that is positive in human civilization.
2. Settlers(Netanyahu & Barak) don't get it
Palestinian   (03.13.11)
3. Not enough.
Etoile ,   Montreal, CAN   (03.13.11)
Jews should be accorded their full rights to build on their land. Murder must be met with construction and the propagation of new life, this is the only language those savages will understand.
4. How nice, houses for blood
Ephraim   (03.13.11)
So how many settlers do we have to kill per year to raise construction to normal market levels? And how do we choose which settlers get to be the ones to die for housing? Maybe we should draw lots in each settlement to find out who gets to die in order to guilt the government into allowing us to build (on our own money, too!) Building should be permitted like in any other part of the country. Arab terrorism must be fought and prevented. The two are not connected, and it's very cynical to try and connect them.

Are you out of your mind Jehudah? Just who do you think you are fooling? You don't sanctify human life by creating 500 more settlements, what are the settlements if not a noose around the Palestinians necks that is slowly cleansing them from their own land? How you people can be so blinded by your colonization efforts is beyond me and how you fools don't realize that each new settlement seals your miserable fate is particularly astounding. Amazing considering how many nobel prize winners there are among you that you could be so clueless.
6. to the "Israeli" Gov't,
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.13.11)
Don't Kill them twice!
7. We payed a high price for approval
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.13.11)

deavman ,   Acco   (03.13.11)
You are what is wrong with Palestinian Arabs and their leadership. You take absolutely no responsibility for your life. All the misery, low morals, destructive behavior and so on is the fault of Israel of course... How idiotic.
9. why not thousands...Enjoy building!
Richard ,   The Hague   (03.13.11)
10. Tzarih livnot
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (03.13.11)
Terrorism or no terrorism, anyone has a right to build on their land.
11. MOVING AWAY FROM SAMARIA
Riardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (03.13.11)
For the first time in my life, since I made allyah from Rio de Janeiro, I am really, seriously, considering moving away from Samaria. These horrible scenes of Itamar I will never forget.
12. Palestinians still don't get it, Salma included.
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (03.13.11)
You refuse to negotiate for peace. You continue to attack civilians. This time, one of your "freedom fighters" stuck a knife into a 4 month old baby girl. You're damn right we won't kill them twice. The real answer is to start 5 new settlements named after each of the five murder victims. If you Palestinians ever wake up and "get it", that will be the day you send your leaders back to the negotiating table. In the meantime, you get what you pay for - and you Palestinians keep insisting that your currency is blood.
13. Measured response to butchers. Sweet!
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.13.11)
14. A price tag for settlement building
(03.13.11)
Now the government has stated the price tag for settlements: a few hundred settlements = 5 deaths.
15. Photos of massacre on IMRA
Marcella   (03.13.11)
While the government ponders whether to release pictures that may affect the "moderate" image of the PA, you can see pictures authorized by the Fogel family on the IMRA website.
16. The best answer to terrorism = Build ! Build !
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (03.13.11)
17. Trying to appease the country's anger?
Marcella   (03.13.11)
The government must be surprised to see that much of the anger is directed not just to the perpetrators of the massacre but to the Israeli government itself. This announcement is a weak attempt at pacifying the population, a mere token that will probably evaporate into the bureaucratic mist in a matter of weeks. The proper government response to this tragedy should be NOTHING LESS THAN OUTRIGHT ANNEXATION of all Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. No more housing freeze anywhere in Israel, no more demonization of settlers by government authorities, no more confiscation of guns, no more weakening of security measures around Arab populated areas.
18. HOW TO PREVENT FUTURE TERROR
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.13.11)
By wholesale retaliation . Netanyahu please take note.
19. Name one place in the world...
Ariella ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.13.11)
... where Jews are not allowed to own and build on land, except Israel! You will find it hard to name such a place because it doesnt exist!! The Israeli Government has now just put a very heavy condition on building in Israel. They have done nothing good in furthering the State and have justified this horrific attack in the worst way possible. Shame on Bibi, Likud, the Government and their empty words! You are all accomplices in these murders and anything you do now is too little, too late.
20. Russian language Israeli sites published
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (03.13.11)
pictures of this slaughter. What about Ynet?
21. #20 Left Arab sites like Ynet will not publish bloody photos
Chaim   (03.13.11)
of innocent Jews and babies massacred by Arabs. Only Arab terrorists killed get the honor of their photos being publicized for propaganda - even photoshopped. Authentic news cannot be expect on Leftist sites.
22. this is a wonderful act of defiance
zionist forever   (03.13.11)
Killing jewish neighbors brings more jews it doesn't chase them out it instead brings more so its in the interests of the arabs to stop murdering and start talking.
23. #17 is right
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.13.11)
For one hour, Obama begged Abbas not to embarrass him. Abbas spit on Obama and said he would not sacrifice his principles. Abbas is a true leader. Netanyahu is different. Netanyahu does everything Obama tells him, even when he knows it sacrifices Israeli interests. Now he announces building 500 units to appease the Jews, but as Marcella says, will use his bureaucracy to make sure they are never built.
24. Netanyahu visited the Vogel family .......
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.13.11)
Almost immediately after the heinous murders our Prime Minister visited the family of the victims. Well done! However, when 42 Israelis were burnt to death in the Carmel fire he didn't even pay one condolence visit during Shiva to those families! This shows that we have a Prime Minister whose main concern is appeasing the Right Wing Extremists in is voter base and thus preserve his ludicrous government and the hell with the rest of the country! Prime Minister, Israel can survive without the "Territories" but the "Territories" cannot survive without Israel.
25. remain under Israeli sovereignty in any case
Zev ,   Israel   (03.13.11)
If the building will only be in towns that Israle intends to keep then what is the big deal. They should build in places like Itamar and Elon Moreh. Not only in Ariel and Maaleh Adumim. This is another case of Bibi doing very little but making a lot of noise.
26. This move by the Israeli cabinet is very
Israeli 2   (03.13.11)
insulting. VERY INSULTING!!! Is this the price we have to pay for allowing construction of 1000 more units??? I spit at each one of them!!
28. A STATE AGAINST ITS OWN PEOPLE
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (03.13.11)
A statement like this is just to buy time so people forget, there will be no building only more destruction of Jewish property. This state is not Jewish nor does it aspire to Jewish values, it aspires to be a secular democratic nation, to be like other nations. This policy is promoted by Ynet and its Zionistic imitators , who have systimaticly demonized people, like the Fogel family. They do not realize that their own families will have the same fate,when our Islam Fascists sucseed in destroying our hold on our land. Weakness is the trademark of every sucsessive government that folows its failed doctrine since the establishment of secular Zionism.
