1. Sorry
Gabriel ,   Tel Aviv   (07.24.11)
But this outpost is just illegal and pointless. (Strategic position above a highway, don't make me laugh). How many soldiers will have to guard your 50 families or so? Millions more shekel down the drain so some extremists can live in the middle of nowhere.
2. My hard earned tax monies
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (07.24.11)
shall be supplied to Migron and not to some stupid artist.
3. So why is Bibi going along with this harassment?
Rachel ,   US   (07.24.11)
4. We talk about destroying homes when we march for more homes?
(07.24.11)
Seems the left is losing its mind even more. I always wanted to set up tent cities in Tel aviv with all the people from yesha. Only then will the left realize that the Jewish people are here to stay...
5. #1 then you cry about the price of homes in Tel Aviv?
Yosi ,   Gilo, Jerusalem   (07.24.11)
Such hypocracy is only from the left. If they would allow the free building of homes throughout all of Israel, you would see affordable prices for homes everywhere.
6. #1 wrong
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.24.11)
I thought you leftists worshiped international laws. Because not one single building is illegal under those international laws that you scream and whine about. In fact it is the exact opposite, because those laws give the land to Jews to develop. Bet you won't challenge those facts.
7. Zero tolerance for anti-Jewish buidling freezes ..
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
There is no excuse to restrict Jewish building in any part of Israel, including Judea and Samaria. This land belongs to the Jewish people legally and by every rational criteria. Israel must not continue to pay for Bibi's appeasement of Obama an "Palestinians". This is the exact opposite of what Israel voted for. It is time for zero tolerance of racist anti-Jewish building freezes in any way, shape or form.
8. 1. Nachon Me'od
Ussishkin ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (07.25.11)
This is illegal. The occupation of Palestinian land is illegal. The refusal to accept the rule of law is illegal. Continued settlement in the West Bank is illegal. The ripping off of revenies is illegal. The invocation of God's name to justify all this is against Torah and is illegal. Gettit!!!!!!!
9. Have you ever been in Migron?
Lippa Friedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.25.11)
Kudos to Mr. Dann on a well thought out and researched blog. Migron is not an outpost in the middle of nowhere. It is part of the settlement bloc including Shaar Binyamin, Kochav Yaakov, Psagot and Geva Binyamin -not far from Bet El and Ofra -- flourishing communities with varied populations ranging from Secular to Religious-Zionist to Chareidi. They are planned towns, strategically placed by successive goverments. As Mr. Dann pointed out, any question of land ownership can easily be solved through the accepted international clause of eminent domain - with just compensation.
10. #8. "Palestinian land" is fictional. Get it!
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.25.11)
#8. It is impossible to occupy "Palestinian land", since Palestine doesn't exist, never has existed and never will exist, unless the majority of Israeli Jews have lobotomies. Judea and Samaria have rightfully belonged to Jews for more than 3,500 years. We have overwhelming legal proof they are ours. Your talk of "occupied Palestine" has fewer buyers every year as the rapid declne of the Israeli left proves. Get it!
11. UN242 and Eminent Domain are Legal Constructs
jerry ,   jersey   (07.25.11)
As to Geneva conventions, UN must have had them in mind when formulating 242. As to Arab ownership, eminent domain is practiced everywhere.
12. To #8 Ussachkin from TA
Michael ,   Moscow, USA   (07.26.11)
You rant here about so-called ‘occupied land’ because deep down your conscience you envy those who chose to live independently from the oppressive socialist government the way they like it. To settle a barren land and see the fruits of your labor is much more rewarding than to inhabit some small dilapidated flat on some ussannoy street in a middle of a dusty ussaniy town
13. to 1,2 and all lefties
yossi ,   israel   (07.27.11)
you guys and others like you are responsible for the murder of thousands of israelis. when are you going to admit you made a mistake and stop with your radical leftist views. you guys will never learn. BTW -no such thing as a palestinian. its own land period.
