1. How is it possible....
FO ,   Belgium   (10.15.11)
That no Israeli leader has the guts to close the mouth of this ignorant Ban Ki-moon. Never one word about Israel's legal rights recognized in INTERNATIONAL LAW and reafirmed by the UNITED NATIONS thanks to ARTICLE 80 of its CHARTER. Deputy Foreign Minister Dany Ayalon, neglected to mention ARTICLE 80 in his, by the way remarkable video-item, about the "Disputed Territories". How is it possible that this important video is no part of Israel's official information neither part of Israeli diplomacy ? Must Israel's legal rights be kept secret for eternity for some obvious reasons? Who is ready to give me an answer to this question? I'm waiting, and thanks in advance !!!
2. The only occupation is by illegal arab
jason white ,   afula, israel   (10.15.11)
settlers on Jewish land. I hope soon that n.korea occupies ban ki's s.korea.
3. Neither Cabinet nor Forum of Seven
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (10.15.11)
Neither the Israeli Cabinet nor the Forum of the Seven has authorized a return to negotiations under the Quartet. Netanyahu's statements are all over the block. And this action is evidence that the Israeli gov does not care about a return to Negotiations or a resolution that is satisfactory to both sides. The UN, Quartet and US are wasting time on this issue. let the demographics fall where they may. Let the PA fold, call up the IDF reserves and let them do the policing. If the two sides want a resolution, work it out on your own. You elected your government, just like Gaza elected theirs. So work it out with Hamas if you want, or don't, your choice. The PA probably won't last much longer.
4. Clown Moon
Anshel ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.15.11)
Killing Syrians by Syrians seem to be acceptable, keeping Kurds without their homeland is acceptable, allowing Iranians to plot assassination of a Saudi ambassador in USA is acceptable, running a terror entity in Gaza is acceptable, running Lebanon by a terrorist organization is acceptable. What a double standard Mr. Moon. Get used to that Jerusalem is capital city of all Jewish people and never again shall be divided. We don't need your consent to build homes in our Jerusalem.
5. Of course.Now every second-rate peddler of Arab interests
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.15.11)
(like Moon) has a say in our building permit's process. What do we expect, with such a low self esteem and lack of conviction as a nation? We've became worlds doormat: every shmuck is wiping off dirt on our collective face... well deserved too!
6. Oh, dear .....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.15.11)
"Recent developments in this regard have been unacceptable, particularly as efforts are ongoing to resume (Israeli-Palestinian) negotiations, and run contrary to the Quartet's call on the parties to refrain from provocations" Here's a news flash: Israeli policy is crafted in Jerusalem. Not by the Quartet, and most DEFINITELY not by the United Nations. Should be a great big wake-up call to the ersatz "Palestinians," who thought that they would just slide right into "recognition" by the United Nations. Well, well. It would appear that the ersatz "Palestinians" have far fewer friends than they thought and Israel has far more friends than the ersatz "Palestinians" realized. Can anyone spell "Oops!" LOVE IT!
7. This UN.......
mindRider ,   The Free World   (10.15.11)
But when a Jew wants to clean and rebuilt a synagogue in Tripoli and is forbidden to do such at gun point.........this UN stays deafeningly silent.
8. Shut up!!
Sam M ,   UK   (10.15.11)
Here we go again....shut up ban ki-moon and mind your own business. You're nothing more than a spineless puppet for the 'international community' and the islamic block. Just ignore their comments and build more homes in Jerusalem and throughout Judea and Samaria!!
9. 3000+ murdered in Syria is ok, jews building in the

10. Ban Ki = a lot of hot air and empty rhetoric.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.15.11)
11. DEAR MR .BAN KI -MOON
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.15.11)
Sir ,Jerusalem belongs to the jewish people exclusively and in its entirety .We will therefore build when and where we want to . If you do not approve then tough titties.

rune f ,   Oslo Norway   (10.15.11)
Un always find something to blame Israel for:(
16. Who made him building inspector of israel?
Bad assed Jew. ,   United States   (10.15.11)
Every time he opens his ignorant mouth, another slanted lying nonfactual anti semitic, anti Israeli, anti Zionist, anti Hebrew, antiChrist, statement makes him more the fool, day by day. Rave on Moon pie. moony the looney
17. BUILDING
COLIN   (10.15.11)
Again some idiot opens his mouth with nothing to say WHAT IS THIS U N Is it an extension of the arab league ??? Who is this ben noon ?? Somebody inform this fool about the history of jews in jerusalem BUILD ISRAEL BUILD AND TO HELL WITH THESE WILD MOUTHED LIARS.
18. 3,000 plus dead in Syria and Ban-Ki Moon codemns Israel!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.15.11)
The UN, Moon, Navi Pillay and the rest of that Antisemitic gang of Jew haters are a disgrace and it is time to break it up! It is time that the USA and the EU realized that the billions of dollars, which they don't have, are being used for the lining of the pockets of the UN officials and aiding and abetting the abuses, murders and rapes committed the UN "peacekeepers".
19.  Who are the UN and Ban ki-Loon ?
A Very Heavy Stone ,   Florida   (10.15.11)
What Israel needs right now is a leader who can stand up to the whole world and say no. This will take a leader with real faith and the real God of Israel and not a lying,spineless,capitulating Netanyahu who has proven he cannot stand up to any pressure. With his sidekick,Ehud retreat and surrender Barak these two are extremely dangerous to Israel's survival.
20. hey moon....
les ,   canada   (10.16.11)
"unexeptable"? well, suck on it. wait till you have to deal with a real leader, PRIME MINISTER LIEBERMAN!
21. Tell the UN to stuff it ... where it hurts!
EST ,   Miami USA   (10.16.11)
22. Who Cares?
Maya ,   Chicago, Il   (10.16.11)
Does anyone actually care what the United Nations thinks? What about Humans Rights violations against Gilad Shalit... where was The UN there?
23. DAMN THE UN! BUILD ISRAEL BUILD!
stude ham   (10.16.11)
otherwise you will be smothered by the treacheries of international politics... as exemplified by the corroded and horrifically corrupted UN.
24. construction plans 'unacceptable'
Joe ,   uk   (10.16.11)
Ban Ki-moon your comments are 'unacceptable' ask the palistinians if they know that it takes two to tango
25. What exactly has Jerusalem to do with muslim?
Maximilian Teusch ,   FL   (10.16.11)
Because of the babblings of an old epileptic? Or because he claims that he was flying with a horse to Jerusalem? Or did he take to much Qhat? Anyway, the palestinians will have their capital in Ramallah.
26. East Jerusalem?
Avraham ,   Jerusalem   (10.16.11)
Is there anyone among the Israeli diplomats or in the government to explain to the UN and in bilateral relations with countries, who could or would explain what does really mean "east Jerusalem" and wher is its geographical location. Gilo is the south neigborhood of Jerusalem (more than 40 thousand inhabitants) and Givat Matos is on the same side as Gilo. Why not to organize visits of some EU and American leaders to Gilo so to get an idea at the spot if the neighbrhood is in the east or in the south? That "green line" has been temporarily accepted after the Jordanian army had bean defeated by the Israely army in June 1967, when no "Palestinians" existed yet!
27. flying with a horse to Jerusalem
Joe ,   uk   (10.16.11)
muslims who pray by al-Aqsa mosque when they kneel to pray what part of their body is directed to the mosque
28. You complain, we will build & everybody will be happy
zionist forever   (10.16.11)
The UN would be full of manic depressives if they didn't have something to condemn Israel for so let Ban and the rest of the UN moan about the building in ISRAELS CAPITAL and in the meantime we will build. If Ban is so worried about international law he should let the palestinians know that terror is against international law as well and he will not support the creation of a terrorist state.
29. IF ISRAEL MAY NOT BUILD....,
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (10.16.11)
...on ITS side of a cease-fire line,I cannot help but wonder why it's acceptable for the Arabs to build on THEIR side of the same cease-fire line? Something is rotten here. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
30. The Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (10.17.11)
Israel can build anywhere in the Land of Israel. It is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to Israel-the Jewish Nation. Jerusalem belongs to Israel since ancient time. Ban Ki Moon should stop piping for the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers.
