1. Why are we ONLY informed about..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.15.12)
allocations going to the RELIGIOUS sector?
2. Bless the settlers who love Israel more than the leftists.

3. Well, chica
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
Zahavaleh, you had every opportunity to be present at the meeting, and chose not to attend. Did it conflict with your weekly hair appointment? But if it is the lack of social services spending you are bemoaning, perhaps you ought to take a good hard look at what it costs the State of Israel to care for and maintain the illegal aliens from Africa. Repatriate them or send them to the United Nations, and Israel's budget will get a wonderful influx of cash. Funny, dear, don't you have a ton of friends in anti-Semitic NGOs that could cover the care and feeding of the African illegals? Why not put that money where your mouth is?
4. Why so little,....?
Gideon Reader   (05.15.12)
Surely the Zionist enterprise in Judea and Samaria should have more that a crappy $12M allocated to it's expansion..
5. Is it me who does not understand,or this is really crazy?
Keren ,   IL-BR   (05.15.12)
The Knesset's Finance Committee on Tuesday approves the allocation of NIS 44 million (roughly $12 million) to the Jewish Agency's Settlement Division designated for the settlement in the West Bank BUT some NIS 17 million of the NIS 44 million will serve as compensation for the Migron evacuees. What is that please? The government allocates money for settlement in the Samaria and Judea and afterwards it pays for DE-SETTLE the settlers with "High Court's"help!? What crazyness is that? Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;Allocate;desallocate;...........

6. How to save money
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.15.12)
Lower Gal On's salary, withdraw the salaries of the Arab Fifth Column MKs in our Knesset, expel the illegal African immigrants, expel the Asian guest workers, expel the Arabs from Israel, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Golan and stop paying social welfare and social security to Israeli Arabs. And stop feeding Arab terrorists in Israeli prisons and stop keeping them alive with Israeli tax money. And stop demonstrating on Israel's streets all the time. If you Left Wingers would study or work instead of hitting the streets demonstrating against God knows what, then just maybe would Israel be an even richer country.
7. Why Bibi doesn't want elections.
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.16.12)
No money for education, culture, IDF, health, housing, police...etc., etc., etc.,.. but millions available for settlements. SHAME on the committee, and SHAME on the opposition reps that didn't bother to attend the meeting!
8. settlements
colin   (05.16.12)
Only 3 hundred million 111 Why so little ?? These settlers are building Israel Let the state take the waste money given to the religious party;d snd use it to build new congregatiobs.
9. 44 million a drop in the bucket
Zev ,   Israel   (05.16.12)
The Jewish residents of Yehuda and Shomron are productive citizens paying taxes. I have a deal for Gal-On - Let them keep their taxes and don't give them a Shekel.
10. There as many opinions as there ..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.16.12)
are voters,how to spend the tax money. Do we want Bibi to print money like in a banana republic,to satisfy everybody? That is not the solution.There must be found a just way to share, equitably and publicly ,the tax money. The public is only informed about the money given to the orthodox sector.This gives the impression that they are the only profiters. More transparency is a must.
11. Answer to #5
Ros ,   Tel Aviv   (05.16.12)
If settlers can build - it should be permanent, if not, not. At the moment, they live for a few years in a place, receive wonderful compensation that others will never see, and then they build in another "illegal" place ... and on, and on - it is not building the country - go to the Galil or Negev that would be building the country
12. delusions of messianic right- how perverse a categorization
Avi Dobuler ,   Beit El, ISRAEL   (05.16.12)
The correct term is not the perjorative term coined by Jordan in stealing Judea and Samaria in the war of 48- but Judea and Samaria. Whle it is true G-d promised the land- it was won in a war for defense & survival in 67. Besides that it is ours by right and right of conquest- it protects the coastal plain and airport, has 70% of the countries waters in aquafiers, has the high ground, provides Israel with growth living space, has clean air and cures the pre- 67 Israeli claustrophobia of narrow borders. The illusion is the peace camp that thinks that land is the issue & not the Arabs never ceasing desire to destroy us in any border in the middle east. How many times can we push the same failed agenda of Land for peace. The slogan should be- if you let us live in peace- we won't take over more Biblical land that ranges from the Nile to the Euphrates. With 500 times our land mass much uninhabited- land- is no real issue- only Jewish sovereignty in daar el islam is the problem. Spain and other European countries have the same problem as they were once under Arab conquest. Its time for a new paradigm. It could also be- that- the Arabs just aren't ready to reconcile and need us as their scapegoat for all their deficiencies in life.
13. 95 MILLION NIS for HaBima
Ilan   (05.16.12)
That was the cost for their new home, so that Israel's rich would have a suitable venue to their enjoy their caviar and champagne and arrange more friend bring a friend protectizia.
14. Anybody remember
Ralph Haglund ,   Lund, Sweden   (05.16.12)
what happened when Israel stopped supporting the settlement in Gaza and deported all Jews there? One war and a very unsettled life for a million southern Israelis - what has that cost? Anyone who can guess what would happen if Jews were deported from Judea/Samaria as Obama and Barak want? If some Jews there leave, EU will very quickly pay the Arabs to settle there as we know. A very unsafe life for Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport.
15. why do little? while gal-on sips her chai in her cozy condo
meretz chutzpah ,   hypocrisyville   (05.16.12)
by the beach the Jews in JEWdea and samaria are busting tail to realize the challenging fruitions of the 2000 violence the Moslem and Christian world has reaped on Am Yisrael. The Jews living there live on the front lines and ech community should be getting 12 million in compensation not the entire enterprise. How much have the illegal aliens received from the state? 12 million is nothing.
16. Who let the meshige Sarah B. out again?
David   (05.16.12)
17. 16 David,you want to know...
Yehudit ,   Israel   (05.16.12)
