in Jewish affairs...

Why would an Israeli newspaper continually be publishing their poison pieces? It boggles the mind.

Why intelligent people refuse to realize that its NOT GOING TO BE ANY peace negotiation, for the simple reason : the unwillingness of recognizing Israel's right to exist by the radical Islam. If ever will be a Muslim leader willing to negotiate, He will have the same fate as the assassinated King of Jordan and the President of Egypt. Israel has only one option : POPULATE THE LAND. !!!!!!!

Just because something is popular does not mean it is right.

...you should either leave all UN bodies or request a special status there...

Of course, it is Israeli apartments that are jeopardizing the peace process. Not the refusal of the Palestinians to recognize Israel's right to exist, not the continuous firing of rockets into Israel, not the declarations of "Death to the Jews." Merkel really cuts to the core of the Middle Eastern problems. Perhaps Merkel can provide a chart. Does a three-bedroom apartment jeopardize peace three times as much as a one-bedroom apartment? What about one-room studios? Does it matter how many bathrooms it has? Do Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims kill each other because of Israeli apartments? Would they stop killing each other if there were no Israeli apartments? Which Israeli apartments cause the killings of Sunnis and which cause the killings of Shiites. Tell, us, Merkel.

Germany simply need to pull the plug on its taxpayers money to Israell. Cancel that sub as well. With them only money talks..then wait for the whining

what are you doing in Germany dirtbag

The German chancelor is Israel's last European friend albeit her comment/criticism of the settlements. The Red/Red/Green opposition party politicians are anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. They have already announced to pursue a policy along Hamas lines. Merkel's criticism is a mild summer wind compared to the blizzard of the opposition politicians. Ezer

You said it best!

This announcement shows you two things: 1) how detached the world is from the reality on the ground here 2) how incompetent Bibi is at explaining that there are no new settlements. There have been no new settlements for years. There have been some limited approvals of new housing for existing settlements, but read my lips: THERE ARE NO NEW SETTLEMENTS. The Germans simply can't get their facts right. What's worse, is that Bibi will ignore their mistake and let it multiply in the field. If you don't like settlements that's one thing, but don't lie and say there are new settlements when there are none.

The apartments reinforce that Eretz Yisroel is the Jewish Safe Sanctuary so i hope each apartment has a deep underground nuclear shelter and antiballistic missile defense and offense systems ..That is the problem are the Jews preparing for the worst case scenarios as a result of their policiesor is arrogant self confidence the Netanyu Twisted Bravado going to lead to mass Jewish and Collateral Arab deaths and injuries .

IMF funds to the EU and she play the bad cop so obama can pretend to be a friend.

sit in judgment against the Jewish state of Israel. Germany cannot insist that ANY place in the world should be judenrein. The Jewish people have a right to live ANYWHERE in the world---especially in Yerushalayim!!!

# 43 is saving up until he can afford to make aliyah to Israel. Now go wash your mouth out.

Thanks for the background. It is often lacking in communication between parties.

"International law" is not at issue. It is the applicability of any application. In that regard, your post makes no sense. Typical.

out of my heart !

2 sisters (twins) and their sibblings, were put into concentration camps, after Germany invaded Hungary in 1944. They were part of thousands of young girls, their hair sheared, searched for jewels by guards, dressed in gray nondiscript unifroms. Their job, was to do dirty work for the Reich in nearby camps. Ultimately, with Russians at the gates, they and thousands were forced marched to other camps. 18 survived, barely. Their crime, Jewish! If they want now to relocate from the US to East Jerusalem or an apt in Har Homa..will the same Germany that murdered 6m of our people, 5m more, whose goal was all 17m Jews, deny them that right? Food for thought. To Merkel: put the onus on the Pales..and not on the people who survived your parents and grandparents.

Every 2 bit punk in the world thinks he/she can tell Israel how to handle her internal affairs. PM Netanyahu should tell them all, in no uncertain terms, to butt out.

Who in the hell ever asked for your ingorant opinions? You have seen nothing and know ever less, just a windbag abusing the patience of others Name one thing you have ever done that has contributed to the benefiit of mankind Now be a good fellow/gal, take a long walk off a short pier

The truth usually doesn't matter when it comes to Israel, specifically to Israel's enemies, power and money matters most . ISRAEL - KEEP BUILDING HOMES!!

Israel need new apartments for their people Germany should butt out a strong united Israel is needed very much the stupid palestinians have nothing to say if they don't like what ISRAEL then get out!!!

Thank you Birdi !
