1. End all restrictions on Jewish building.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.26.11)
The time is long overdue to put a permanent end to all restrictions on Jewish building. This tiny land is ours. There is no excuse for racist restrictions stopping Jews from living anywhere they choose in Judea, Samaria or anywhere else in Israel. The days of building freezes are over now and forever.
2. Building in Jerusalem
Mark ,   USA   (05.26.11)
Build it baby..build.
3. My hard earned tax money
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (05.26.11)
shall be used for building more in the Land of Israel.Kudos to all sides involved in building up the Land of Israel.
4. "Rightists"??? Offensive to Zionism and realists
EZ ,   US   (05.26.11)
It's horribly offensive to categorize Zionists or nationalistic Jews as "Rightists". Zionism doesn't fit into any political category concerning left or right nor do nationalist Jews. These people are realizes who are fighting for what was STOLEN from us by the Europeans (Romans) 1,900 years ago They're also fighting for and helping to secure our well being after the Arabs repeatedly attacked us and after receiving over 90% of the trans Jordan, who RECUSED to accept Jews at all on any of the historic homeland and threw "Falestine" back in the faces of the international community. It's an absurd notion to declare Zionists and nationalist Jews as a "political leaning". Dumbing Zionism down to a fanatics level is a vain insult and YNER should be responsible NOT to publish the "Big Lie" coming from the POLITICAL LEFT: we Zionists want nothing to do with the ugliness of politics: after much of Europe attempted to exterminate us, we chose to plot our own course, not launch a political movement. If securing our existence is political opportunism, then black is white and there's a Soviet Spy in the white house.
5. All this building...
Josh ,   USA   (05.26.11)
Sounds so exciting and promising. Is there really that much activity over there? Anyone need some GIS people to help with the mapping?? It's so stagnant here, it's really disheartening.
6. TIME MARCHES ON
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.26.11)
Arabs tread water, accomplishing nothing
7. More Jewish homes creates undisputable facts on the ground.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.26.11)
9. E Jerusalem is never Lebensraum for Israel
observer ,   Egypt   (05.26.11)
for Jerusalem is never mentioned once in the Torah of Moses. G-d prohibits Jews to add or subtract from His words. Have you read the Pentatouch!
10. #9 Observer
Devorah   (05.26.11)
See Gen 14:18 regarding Melchizedek. "Salem" is Jerusalem. Have YOU read Torah?
11. Buil all you want but son t cry about rockets
Palestinian   (05.26.11)
When things like what's happened to the fogels
12. Jewish building makes city strong!
David ,   Beverly Hills, Calif   (05.26.11)
Arabs have no rights in the land of Israel. They occupied Jerusalem under Jordan's War. They did not allow Jews to even pray at the Temple Mount. Then , they lost it forever. Too bad!. Arabs can go back to Jordan or Arabia. Jerusalem is the eternal capitol of Israel since the times of Kind David
13. Arabs cleansed all Jews from Mideast
David ,   Beverly Hills, Calif   (05.26.11)
The Arabs ethnically cleansed all Jews from all the Arab Countries. They destroyed their synagogues, took all their money and property. They threw them out with barely the clothes on their back. Israel has allowed Arabs to live , if they are peaceful. If they want to act like savages, they have to be removed... and sent back to Jordan or Egypt where they came from.
14. #8, #9: "Mischlinge," "Lebensraum"
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (05.26.11)
#8 says Jews are "mischling" (half-breed) - what the Nazis called us in WWII. #9 claims the Jews' thousands of years old connection to Jerusalem never existed, and also uses a Nazi term, "Lebensraum" to try to delegitimize us. Furthermore, #9 is incorrect that "Jerusalem is never mentioned" in the Torah, the first part of the Hebrew Bible. In the first book, Genesis, the west section of the city was originally called Jeru and the eastern section, Salem (Genesis 14:18, 21:14). The Torah contains 19 references to the place. After it was united and renamed Jerusalem, and King David made it the capital of the Jewish people, the Bible mentions Jerusalem several hundred times.
15. #8 What ethnic cleansing?, which law?
Phil ,   Ireland   (05.26.11)
For starters, the only ethnic cleansing I see is the removal of Jews from Gaza and the fact that no Jews would be allowed live in a future Palestinian State if it ever got off the ground. As for International Law, Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention does not apply because Israel is not transferring any citizens into disputed territories. They have volunteered to live there. Under the British Mandate Article 6, Jews have the right to settle in British Mandate Palestine west of the Jordan River. This right is protected by Article 80 of the UN Charter. In Article 7 of the Hamas Charter, Hamas calls for the killing of Jews by Muslims. Is this not a clear call for ethnic cleansing? Over 1 million Arabs live within the 1967 Green Line and 13 Arabs sit in the Knesset. Is this a sign of ethnic cleansing or a democracy? Could a Jew hold such an office in an Arab Muslim state? The facts do not fit your comments and can only be fuelled by pro-Palestinian propaganda.
16. WHO IS DANNY DAYAN?

17. building in Israel
joan ,   London uk   (05.26.11)
"I the Lord do not change, so you O'Israel are not dismayed, I will bring you back and establish you in the land, your sons and your daughters I will bring from afar.. and No one will make you afraid" rely on His promises and ask the God of your fathers for help. Remember it was He who said that He would not change if you trust Him to do something He will, He will remove your enemies from your land and from your borders, and even those who live in your land will be removed! The Palestinians could be the most blessed Arabs around if they supported what the God of Israel was doing!
18. #11 Ersatz Palestinian
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.26.11)
Dont' complain when you get the same treatment that Gaza got after you fire the first rocket Just tell me where you reside, we'll send your family a suply of candy to pass around afterwards
19. #11 Devorah - Don't mind NON-OBSERVER
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.26.11)
He always talks from his vast non-experiences , making things up as he goes along
20. #10,14 Universal Yahweh is everywhere
observer ,   Egypt   (05.27.11)
The city is not mentioned specifically in the Pentateuch. Melchizedek, the king of Salem, or Yere as Abraham called it, who was ''priest of God Most High'' (Genesis 14:18), maybe or may not be the monarch of Jerusalem. It WAS long before the priesthood was instituted! Why Abraham paid a tithe (repeatedly) to the king of Salem if Abraham was recorded as owner of Hebron. If the bible were a logbook for recording real estate property could the bible have missed the house of G-d, the holiest of the holey and could not have the EXACT location and exact name that would be famous by it in the whole world. The term Zion has at least four meanings having to do with two different parts of Jerusalem, with Jerusalem itself, but also generally talking “about the people of Israel who viewed Jerusalem and the Temple as their religious center.” So while one hand holds Zion as a place, the other hand holds it as a people. The One G-d's promised land goes beyond our terms, our limiting to it. Zion for the Christians is their church, Zion for the Mormons is Utah,USA. Try another credential for a specific name and a specific location.
21. Back to realty; UNSC Resolution 267 (1969)
observer ,   Egypt   (05.27.11)
Reaffirming the established principle that acquisition of territory by military conquest is inadmissible, Reaffirms its resolution 252 (1968); Deplores the failure of Israel to mentioned above; Censures in the strongest terms all measures taken to change the status of the City of Jerusalem; Confirms that all legislative and administrative measures and actions taken by Israel which purport to alter the status of Jerusalem, including expropriation of land and properties thereon, are invalid and cannot change that status.
22. #21 is answer to #1
observer ,   Egypt   (05.27.11)
23. #20 NON-OBSERVER NON-EXPERT
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.27.11)
In all matters under the sun It's time you stopped blowing hot air, since you're now giving sermons on the Bible, state your credentials, what Seminary of Religious school did you study at ? Ye gad's for someone who's never been anyplace or done anything, you sure like to yammer endlessly Concerning the UN Resolution you quoted in another post, first tell the Arabs to conform to some of them, which they have intentionally ignored since the attacked Israel in 1948 What's this pretense of yours about being in Egypt ?, you sound more like you're in outer space How about UN 1701 ? UN Partition Plan Access of passage to the Suez Canal I figured out why you post so much, you have nothing to say An empty drum makes a lot of noise, you’re proving it Yaaaawn!
24. NON-OBSERVER - STOP BEING PICKY
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.27.11)
Utilizing Resolutions that suit you, ignoring others that don't the UN has already spoken with resolution 242 "Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." The Pals, of course, are the odd ball part of the equation, since there never was any country called "Palestine". There is no mandate for the UN to recognize a country called "Palestine" because the UN already decided that peace has to be achieved through negotiations. " You and the so-called Palestinian's have an affinity, you're both odd balls
