1. Instead of fighting for expansion in Jewish land
(04.04.11)
fight to get rid of Destruction Minister, Barak the coward once and for all. He did not win the election and has no right for so much power and running the country as if he did. GET RID OF HIM NOW!

5. Stop the settlements
E Riley ,   UK London   (04.04.11)
The settlement expansion must stop NOW if there is ever to be be peace. This is not Israeli land it is Occupied Territory, and these settlements are ILLEGAL under International law. In September the UN will recognise Palestine as a state, and this will change everything.

12. As I asked once, how many will die to keep it?
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.05.11)
13. #5 E Riley. Which law?
Phil ,   Ireland   (04.05.11)
Please quote word for word the law that you claim states settlements are illegal. Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention does not apply as the West Bank and Gaza are unallocated parts of the British Mandate which allows Jewish people to settle in the area. Also Jewish settlers have not been deported or transferred into the area but have volunteered to live there. Article 6 of the British Mandate applies and is protected by Article 80 of the UN Charter. This makes Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza legal.
14. NO EXPANSION
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shonrom IL   (04.05.11)
Despite I live in Shonrom, still I think it is time to restrict settlements. Let's keep what we already have and refrain from provocation.
15. #5 Riley - Colonialsim speaking
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.05.11)
It's high time your lot remove their sorry asses from Scotland & Northern Ireland Then and only then, feel free to comment, after you've vacated
16. Settlers & Rights
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (04.05.11)
If the Settlers haven't noticed by now that they DON'T HAVE ANY RIGHTS then I don't know what it will take to wake them up. They have been repeatedly shown that they are NOT a part of Israel proper and that they will be given over to the PLO in any "final settlement deal"!!! The ONLY alternative is for them to just form their OWN "STATE" and the hell with everyone else!!!
17. #16 Edward
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.05.11)
Repeatedly told by "who" ? What was the capacity of those that allegedly tell them have ?
18. To #17
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (04.06.11)
I'm surprised that you haven't been reading the commentaries in Ynet News and other Israeli Publications statements and policy matters concerning the "west bank" by your OWN Israeli politicians!!! THOSE are the people that have the SAY to divest Israel of most of Judea/Samaria and the Golan!!! Just READ the article in Ynet News today about Peres wanting to negotiate over the Golan. You ought to know that the Arabs want "peace" Arab style, which means NO JEW ALIVE!!! Go READ all of Bibi's books, 4 of them I believe, that he states NO "palestinian state, no dividing Jerusalem,no this, no that, and what does he do when he gets in office!!!??? Puts most of Judea/Samaria on the trading block, Jerusalem WILL be divided, and more than likely you'll see your politicians hand over Golan for a worthless scrap of paper called a "peace treaty"!!! And while we're at it, how's that "peace" stuff working out with Egypt lately!!!??? Go READ the report how the murders were carried out in Itamar because parts of the fence was on "occupied" territory so it wasn't maintained or secured!!! Not to mention practically NO building permits being issued in Judea/Samaria, and you'll also see a FORCED evacuation under your present "lukid" government in the Judea/Samaria that will pale the Gaza pullout into oblivion!!! I could add a lot more here but I hope you due your own "due diligence". As I stated, it is CLEAR that those in the "west bank" are personna non grata" by the rest of Israel proper, so the BEST thing for THEIR safety and concern is to go it alone!!! And they won't be "alone" as others will be heading that away to help bolster them should they go that route. My opinion is that they ought to give Tel Aviv to the Palis in exchange for Judea/Samaria. then let the Palis "worry" about those in the high ground!!!

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.06.11)
That was a rather long winded response, all I asked for was the names of the people telling the settlers to get out Try again, no cigar for the first effort
20. Got it fair and square
Simon ,   USA   (04.11.11)
Israel took control of this land in 1967 in a defensive war; people purchased land here.
