1. They could always move back into Israel!
(11.29.11)
and then they could find something else to complain about!

The real problems experienced at Maavar Eliahu, near Qualkilya have prompted a lot of complaints, but this Ynet has not mentioned. The whole area has been hugely expanded and now a private company is in charge of checking traffic and passengers. All the years security was handled by Tzahal there were few delays to civilian traffic, despite large numbers of travellers in the morning and evening rush hours. With the new personnel people are being taken off Israeli buses and delayed for security checks even when vouched for by the bus drivers who get to know their regular passengers.
3. security
(11.29.11)
Honestly I don't see why they are complaining. In the end it is really for their own benefit and security. I would happily wait in line to know that the car in front of me wasn't carrying terrorists or a bomb!
4. Mistreating the people of Jehuda and Shomron

If ever, G-d forbid, you manage to throw those Mench to wolves - it's you, feeling so safe in Tel Aviv and Herzliya, who'll be settlers.
5. Ungrateful settlers

Skip the security checks and you'll be dead, you ungrateful idiots!
6. Duh, #1 - They are in Israel!

Get it though your thick heads, people. Jews are originally from Israel, not Siberia, and the "west bank" is not an entity, but rather disputed territory that was once part of a country called...you guessed it....Israel. And no, the "west bank" was never part of a country called "Palestine", because there has never been such a thing. There was no "Palestinian nation" until the 1970s, but there has certainly been a Jewish nation for thousands of years. And guess where that Jewish nation lived until they were occupied and turned into refugees? Yup, the lived in a country called Israel. So, #1 - they could always just stay where they are....right in the middle of Israel. Don't get me wrong, as I happen to be yet another one of those "settlers" who is willing to split my homeland with the Arabs who now call themselves "Palestinians". Instead of knocking the guys who are pissed off with the checkpoints (which I remind you are there to catch Palestinian terrorists), why don' t you knock Abbas and his cronies for refusing to negotiate peace with us?
7. They could always go back to the USA

8. Who loves Israel more?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.30.11)
The religious settlers who have children and produce the next generation of Jews? The secular Jews who have no children and are willing to leave the country to the arabs that want, according to their ?"holy book"? to "kill the Christians and the Jews?" OR, the arabs who think they own all the land and want to drive the Jews into the sea? You pick.
