1. ALL Good Except
Ken ,   Australia   (09.27.11)
All the palestines have to do first before negotiateing is to un-equivically recognize The Land Of Israel, as the home the jewish people. After this , then maybe, they may be able to become soverign, but not before, therefore they do not have everything in place for establishment, the only violation of the most human right in this whole senario, is the fact the pals wont recognize the jews. This guy should listen to bibbis speach very carefully, it is easy to understand, all fantasies are out the window , so stop dreaming and meet and negotiate, its not that hard to understand where Bibbi is comeing from , and I beleive no matter what people say , it is true. I could never have even imagined that Bibbi, of all people would recognize the pals, they realy need to wake up and realize what really is going on , they are getting so caught up in there own vitiole, they are missing there next opportunity.
2. Do any of us really care?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.27.11)
Answer: No. We don't.
3. who's land?
art keyes ,   United States   (09.27.11)
just a quick warning PA the land belongs to the G-D of abraham Issac and Jacob not the PA or the jews. G-D made a covenant with the 3 founders of Isreal and nothing you can do will take it from those chosen BY this G-D. look at history , it never goes well for those who try to take it!!!!!
4. Now that Oslo is dead, ANNEX
J1 ,   Earth   (09.27.11)
5. Truth is that Gilo was always staying Israel
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (09.27.11)
Truth is that Gilo was always staying Israel so this does not affect anything.
6. Israel OWNS Jerusalem, not PA not EU not Jordan but Israel.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.27.11)
7. This...
Ahron ,   USA   (09.27.11)
makes me sick and very sad. As an Israeli, I just feel ashamed of these actions. I wish Bibi and all of the Israeli gov't would just come out and say what they really intend to do. Don't tell the whole world that you wish for peace and how the palestinian's are the one's to blame (even if they are). This only undermines your own argument by shooting yourself in the foot. Either truly attempt at having a two state solution or annex Judea & Samaria. If you really want Judea and Samaria that bad, then just give the Moabites and Ammonites a check to go back to the Jordan. Stop messing with everyone's life! (If you are indeed a better lot than your enemies, prove it by being BETTER!)
8. Good news...and now it s time for many others...
Anna M Aedda ,   Rome-Italy   (09.27.11)
9. this is internal israeli matter
usa   (09.27.11)
Its not eu or us matter
10. is gilo different than tel aviv?
david ,   new york   (09.27.11)
the arabs and palestinians don't want living in either place
11. Netanyahu, please tell us again...
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (09.27.11)
...how Israel has no peace partner, how the Palestinians are stubborn and aggressive, and how unilateral moves by the Palestinians are dangerous and will entail a firm response. This kind of decision just a few days following that cringeworthy speech of Bibi at the Useless Nations shows that this government can't be bothered to maintain even a semblance of moral rectitude. It is patently clear who the obstacle to the peace process is, and the Palestinians it ain't.
12. To n° 7
Marcela Araújo ,   Brazil   (09.27.11)
If you open some Bible in the end, you will see some maps... Then, you will see that Moabites and Ammonites lived outside Judea and Samaria (They lived outside Israeli lands).
13. settlement freeze
yehonatan ,   israel   (09.27.11)
almost a year of settlement freeze got us (israel) nowhere with negotiations; if new construction projects were such a big deal to the palestinians, what else were they waiting for? a ten year construction freeze? a thirty year construction freeze?
14. #1
shlomo   (09.27.11)
If the Pals recognise the jewish state, then they forfeit the right for the return of their refugees, and you know it! Why don't you admit this first?
15. unilateral rights
IRV ,   USA   (09.27.11)
The pa says it wants equal rights for all. They unilaterally bury oslo and go to the un. Israel unilaterally builds. One unilateral deserves another right? Let's keep the thing equal. That's what they want and Israel obliges them in their own way!
16. Gilo is Jewish Purchased and Owned Land
Harriet   (09.27.11)
As I understand it, the land where Gilo is located was purchased by Jews for Jews prior to WWII.
17. If you've got the money...anywhere in Israel
Roland Seener ,   London England   (09.27.11)
18. If you've got the money...not in PA Areas
Roland Seener ,   London England   (09.27.11)
19. Gilo Housing
ILetzter ,   TA   (09.27.11)
I also OBJECT. Why wasn't it 11,000 or 110,000 units ? This is a JOKE !
20. Anytime the PA want to stop us building..
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (09.27.11)
all they have to do is sit down and get and agreement out fast. The longer they take the more the "facts on the ground" change.
21. Is Hamas Counterproductive to 'the peace'?
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.27.11)
Do you know why the US never calls Hamas terrorist of Gaza or their rockets,mortars,missiles and terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians counterproductive ? Because they are working with the Islamic world to erase Israel by their counterfeit peace land for rockets and jihad plan. The amazing thing about this is how naive the average Israeli is and goes along with this holocaust 2 agenda.
22. Clearly reject evil Two State Final Solution.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.27.11)
As long as Israel pretends to accept the evil Two State Final Solution; we look like hypocrites for building in our own land. Let's be honest and proudly admit we have no intention of allowing a new terrorist entity to arise in Judea and Samaria. At least the vast sane majority of us have no such intention. We have no intention of ceding Jerusalem. We have no intention of trimming our waist to a suicidal 9 miles (15 minutes by tank). It's way past time for Israel's governent to carry out the will of the electorate and clearly reject the monstrous Two State Final Solution.
23. Talk about a poor sense of timing, are our leaders ...
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (09.27.11)
SOOOO F'n stupid as to stand at the UN preaching to them about what is right and wrong and then go and proclaim this. I do not doubt our right to build ANYWHERE but where in F's name is common sense in ANY of our politicians. GEEEZ!
24. Just BUILD!!!!!!!!!
YES ,   Israel   (09.27.11)
and fill up all of Israel, including Judea and Samaria with beautiful Jewish houses... Happy Rosh HaShana everybody!
25. Buy out the Pals.
Ester ,   Canada   (09.27.11)
" then just give the Moabites and Ammonites a check to go back to Jordan." I wish for this too. All families ready to go PAY them according to the size of their family, so they can get established in Jordan
26. Tikkun Olam, Except For 140 Countries
Dave Levy ,   LosAngelesUSA   (09.27.11)
To Shadoiil: while we all know that the Pals have no intentions of ever making peace with Israel through compromises...I have to agree with your comment. The US will veto any UNSC resolution vis a vie the Pals bid for statehood. So why now/ Cannot it wait; until AFTER the veto? Just seems to me that Bibi is allowing Israelis authorities to tweeek the noses of the Pals sort of like Ahmad likes to do to we Jews (denying the Holocaust or using it as some kind of conspiracy theory). Look this was is as much PR and selling points as anything else. We know the Pals have at least 100 states backing them..even if they said the Sun goes around the Earth. But Israel does have friends, including the most influencial, the USA. Im surprised that Russia, which helped created Israel, goes against it? But yet, they did arm the Arabs for decades, allowing them to duke it out with Israel. BTW, Israel's 400 nukes, are aimed primarily at Russia, for those who dont know. Israel has smaller tactical nukes (less than 1megaton) to take care of the Arabs plus suitcase bombs with artillery shells as well. From my perspective, Israel should: refrain from annoucing bldging plans, for lets ay 6 months. Give Ab bas that time frame to come to the table and "talk" to Bibi..about settleing this. Otherwise, this will go on forever..with the Pals looking for every inroad to blast Israel, as they ahve done with Gilo. This conflict in the USA is taking on partisan aspects...I agree wtih Bibi, that it cannot. But, we Jews have a choice. We can give our gelt to the Republicans and vote for their candidate. No where in theTorah does it require support for the Democrats. At 17,000 plate, Id like to know how many Jews were at Obamas recent show in Los Angeles's Westside, where many (rich)Jews live? Im sure Barbara, Steven and other movie moguls were there..Tikkun Olam and all that stuff, which seems not to be working in 140 countries at the UNGA.
27. To n° 4
Marcela Araújo ,   With you, Brazil   (09.27.11)
All right... ANNEX... :-))
28. #7. Why sick and sad?
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.27.11)
You think Jerusalem belongs to the Arabs? The entire area belongs to Israel until the Arabs negotiate with Israel and there is a formal transfer of land to them that is agreed upon by Israel. Until then, there are Arab communities in Israeli land and a proposal for a Pals state.
29. To: No. 23
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.28.11)
Au contraire. This wa the perfect time to announce the Gilo housing units. Israel is a sovereign state. It is entitled to building wherever it sees fit. Particularly in Jerusalem, which was unified in 1967. Israelis do not tell Americans where to build. Nor do we tell the member states of the European Union where to build. How dare anyone dictate to Israel where and where not to build? Moreover, please keep in mind that East Jerusalem came back under Israeli control following a defensive war in which Jordan was the aggressor. It must suck to be an Arab.
30. September is ending & Palestine is as fictional as ever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.27.11)
September is certainly turning out to be a tempest in a teapot. Leftists worked themselves into a frenzy warning us of the disaster which would unfold unless we got down on our knees and submitted to the terrorist P.A. September is about to end. Palestine remains as fictional as ever. Ynet, why pretend fictional Palestine has a P.M. It has nothing except for billions of dollars of handouts donated by suckers; some of whom are starting to smarten up.
