61. No one condemns Arab violence in Israel. If Jews get angry ,
they condemn Jews!   (12.22.11)
Arabs in Israel and Arab countries use violence as a culture answer to political disputes. No one condemns then when they kill each other in Syria or when they kill Jews in Israel. Eurpoe justifies their violent acts of racism against Jews in Israel by claiming they are oppressed. But when after years of seeing violence from Arab Israelis, and their hateful racial speeches against Jews, they get tired and try to speak with Arabs with their own cultural language and show Arabs the same violent language that they violence then the whole world complains and condemns them. the same Europeans who seeded to be totally deaf and dumb when they saw Arab racism against Jews in Israel or elsewhere. Why is it ok and justifyalbe for Arabs to act violently against others but no one is allowed to get angry at them and show them that enough is enough? How much are Jews and other people supposed to tolerate Arab racism and violence in their own Jewish county? If Arab like violence they can move to 53 Arab countries where violence is the norm. They should be stoped from imposing their violent culture on Israel.
62. Livni always takes the side of Israel's critics & enemies.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.22.11)
Mission Impossible: Find something Livni has ever done, in his public life, which was good for Israel? LIvni always takes the side of Israel's critics and enemies.
63. Proundly claiming Judea/Samaria would end many problems.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.22.11)
Israel's current policy of pretending to accept the evil Two State Final Solution is the source of many problems. Any child capable of reading a map knows Israel would not survive long if we were craven enough to cede our 3,500 year old ancestral heartland. Name another nation which would williingly shrink it's waist to 9 miles. Especially a nation surrounded by potential enemies. Clearly, openly proudly claiming Judea and Samaria would end many problems. This land is ours. We have incontrovertibly proven it is ours. So let's just claim it!
64. #6 Zach
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.11)
Keeping what is ours in the first place isn't stealing Stealing is what the Arabs are trying to do by claiming land that never, ever belonged to them There is no mention in history of an Independent Arab State that had the name of Palestine, I defy you to prove otherwise The fact is that Palestine, Jerusalem or Al Aqsa are NOT mentioned in your Quran, not even once Discrimination, by jingo you really should take a moment to learn what the word Dhimmitude means, an extreme form of Muslim discrimination against all non-muslims Don't you find it rather difficult talking through the seat of your pants? Not everyone, don't speak in generalites, since it only proves once again, that you don't know what you're talking about Gallup Polls in the USA show that 63% of American's favor Israel, you are in the minority..Don't forget to check out Gallup, it should make you gag One more tid bit for you to absord, when Netanyahu spoke before Congress, he received 29 standing ovations from BOTH sides of the aisle, Congress by the way, controls the purse strings
65. really?
Martha Fokker ,   Albania   (12.22.11)
Those EVERYONE you are talking about would be left wing self hating Jews, pro-Palestinian lobby and traditional Israel haters. No matter what Israel would do this crowd would remain hateful. So there is no incentive to cater to you people...
66. eu lost its credibility years ago. agree with #1
ralph   (12.22.11)
67. Jerusalem and the settlement blocs will never be given away.
Vlad   (12.22.11)
May as well solidify the fact.
68. Keep on building
Joe Reifen ,   Philadelphia, USA   (12.22.11)
.... Just remember - possession is 90% of the law
69. You're being isolated, don't you get it yet?
Edithann ,   USA   (12.22.11)
Israel hates the world to the extent you have made a mess out of Israel..A mess you will never be able to turn around...And your Zionist dreams will die like rotted fruit on the trees you stole from the Palestinians... .. TATA
70. Shame on Quartet!
David ,   USA   (12.22.11)
The Brits, like Robin Hood, grabbed land from Israel and donated it to Jordan contrary to what the UN ruled in 1922; the French gave us the Vichy govt that handed Jews over to the German Nazis; & Germany committed genocide. The US looked the other way for many years while the holocaust was going on. You would think all these countries would stop bending over to spoiled Arabs who daily give the world violence & mayhem; they owe Israelis big time --- its payback time to give unto Israel what is legally Israel's from 1922. Israel deserves all the support. The West must stop the Arabs from lies, slander & not feed the lunatic frenzied mobs.
71. Jews need homes just as others
Brod ,   USA   (12.22.11)
Jews need homes just as all the other humans living in Planet Earth. And they are building homes right in their own liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel which is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Nation of Israel as a Fulfilment of GOD'S Everlasting Covenant with the Nation of Israel. Period. The EU AntiSemite countries and Islamist-Jihadist usurpers and occupiers have NO business intruding in Israel's internal affairs. Israel should continue building and building in the Land of Israel for millions of their people.
72. Who cares about EU- About time Bibi stood up!!
Rachel ,   US   (12.22.11)
73. Belongings
Victor ,   Klaksvig. Faroes.   (12.22.11)
Can a people steal its own belongings ? All this noise and screaming from the leftist useful idiots are at the same time both laughable and grievous. I really do pray for Israel and hers people. May G-d bless you. Psalm 121,4 :"Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."
74. #69 Edithann #69 how appropriate
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.22.11)
for your post, practice it We have been isolated for years, we do get it What you won't get is your fictional Stte of Palestine Rot, you're the fruit of those trees, rotten to the core, consumed with envy that Jews have the land you're trying to steal So-called Palestinian Arabs never had a state of their own, in fact, there's not a single mention of Palestine in your Quran, just as there is no mention of Jerusalem or Al Quds You would feel more at home in Iraq, which is on the brink of a revolution or Egypt, which seems to be continuing theirs You would be quite at home with your brothers who are busily engaged in killing each other, how about Libya, where the tribes are going at it hammer and tongs?
75. No such thing as "allies"
USA   (12.22.11)
Nations do what they perceive to be on their self interest.
76. Building developments is the best policy
USA   (12.22.11)
Best answer to enemies and so called allies alike.
77. EU: impoverished, lazy, racist, greedy and arrogant cowards
(12.22.11)
How dare they preach to Israel while they are still secretly collabirating with Iran despite the laughable "sanctions" they declared not too long ago! How dare them preach to Israel while they haven't been lifting a finger to stop the barbaric terror rockets and mortar attacks from Gaza? How dare they preach to Israel while they haven't done anything to condemn Turkey for its blatant breaking of the International Law at Sea by sending terrorists with their "human aid" flotilla to assist a terrorist society. How dare they rape the resolutions they themselves issued in the past, only for the sake of falsely and hypocritically demonize Israel? How dare they perpetuate the many blood libels against Israel?
78. Jewish towns in the West Bank are not illegal
Sharona ,   Jerusalem ISRAEL   (12.22.11)
There are differing legal opinions. It is DISPUTED NOT OCCUPIED. It is the Palis who stole the Land of Israel not the other way around. The EU is financially and morally bankrupt. I bet none of you idiots spouting off "illegal" can site any proof whatsoever. But condemning Jews never required proof anyway. It is called anti-Semitism.
79. Livni is Israel's Sarah Palin
Ralph (literally) ,   Israel   (12.22.11)
Bla bla bla - Just take my picture PS: bought and paid for with George Soros money
80. Why do Europeans and US think they run this country?
Bemet ,   Israel   (12.22.11)
The people in Israel have less say than Angela Merkel. Something is VERY WRONG HERE.
81. Thieves will be thieves
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (12.22.11)
82. To anti settlement Euro Talk-Backers
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (12.22.11)
Get this & get this straight: Your great-great grandfathers 'occupied' our Jewish land and butchered families without compassion during the Roman era & then 1000 years later during the barbaric crusades. Many of us were forced into exile to live amongst your morally corrupt people. Then in recent times, when Jews were 'settlers' under European protection, a whole mass slaughter took place. Well I have respect for many good Europeans that know better, but for you who don't hear these words: 'I'm a settler in the promised land living here by Divine command' - Get stuffed along with your Xmas turkeys! As for Jews against other Jews living in Israel, based on this perverse propoganda- don't bother celebrating Chanuka - The Maccabees fought against traitors like you, who sold out to foreign ideals. Better still, I hope you find your way home, to the true promised land of our people, not this arbitary offering that much of the world wishes to carve up...once again!
83. I agree with Lieberman's comment...
J.Gad ,   Israel   (12.22.11)
Europeans should focus in other Middle East issues instead of criticize our goverment and Israelis. Besides that, settlers are not violent people, and settlements are very beautiful and healthy places to live. G_d blessed the land and palestinians that live close to settlements are also very kindly people. Im not a mystic person but i believe in armony. Love u have a great season
84. Muster their courage?,the EU?. Pathetic!
Simon   (12.22.11)
The UNSC doesn't know the meaning of the word. Caving in to islamic pressure is not much different then surrender to the nazi hordes. Cowardise would be more to the point. Why fight 1.2 billion opponents when a mere 7 million will bring in praise and approval from the world at large. UNSC is worry about the contruction permits issued by our Govt?, let them worry and clean up their own slums spreading at an alarming rate. If they lack the will to do it, eliminate the hovels gracing the arab world -- For this, Israel will be grateful. Please Mr. Vaclav Nokdo at # 3, tell us when did the EU mustered enough credibility to be relevant on the world scene.
85. policy
colin   (12.22.11)
Any and all the bullshit sprouted by the E U is frustrating The EU is bankrupt ,idiots fail to rein in financial problems, most the arab countries in turmoil try to use Democratic free Israel to lie,tell untruths and falsehoods to get the populations to think they the fools are doing something to save an invented people.
86. #69 Yeah, we get it.
Israeli   (12.22.11)
but what you don't get is that when our dreams die, so will yours and everyone else's....that's how much the world hates Israel.
87. #57. You havent answered one question
A ,   Belgium   (12.22.11)
But I have an answer for you: Jerusalem has always been the capital of Israel and the Jewish people. And as far as "stealing land", if a state that doesnt exist has no borders, capital or coin, as you said, and no permanent inhabitants like the Jews in Israel/Palestine/Canaan...however you like to call it, than who has Israel stolen land from? Certainly not the "palestinians", whose forefathers were brought to the area by the Ottoman Turks to work as slaves.
88. Soon we will hear the following
Judd Rusnak ,   Sydney   (12.22.11)
Soon we will hear the following - that the Jews have no rights to the land of Israel. It is the Sudanis, The Dafurians, the Ethiopians and the Palestinians that have the rights to the land. What a Fu...d up world and the EU in particular as we have been putting up with these anti-Semites for too long. So it is time to call spade a spade and not a shovel and tell the EU to shove it up their A.. and there is nothing they can do about it.
89. credibility? whose?
robert   (12.22.11)
Israeli politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths-and the settlers are doing whatever they want- the settlers build- the IDF is tearing it down? What exactly is the purpose of this? Is this credibility? So before blaming everybody and his cousin- get your own act together-. Israeli politicians are inept, indecisive- uncompetent... look at Olmert- and what exactlty has Bibi been doing so far?
90. #8 and that is what you have been doing
Rita   (12.22.11)
what else is new? Every time there are talks, you start building , the settlers build, the IDF takes it down. You accuse everybody of not supporting you- I read the TB feel the hatred.... the average Israeli hates everybody, Arabs, Europeans- even his own politicians. And the US is NOT going to support you guys forever, even if some rich Jews are paying for support in the government now...despite what some bigmouth Tbs say.
