1. Democracy ???
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.05.12)
What do these people understand about democracy ? When things don't go their way, the resort to breaking laws and violent opposition to law enforcement.
2. Shame on you, Benny Begin!
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.05.12)
You shame your father's memory, who fought to keep the land you wish to give away!
3. How could anyone ever have built on private land?
(06.05.12)
This is something you look into before building. Would someone build on an Israeli's private land? If a deal can not be reached with the Palestinian land owner, the decision of the court and PM Netanyahu is the one to represent the integrity of Israel.
4. These Settlers are different from other settlers....
UBZ ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
these settlers from Beit El's Ulpana and from Migron and a few other places are a HARD CORE SELFISH MINORITY! These people need to listen to what the normative duly elected RIGHT WING LEADERS are saying. These people need to understand that they are WRONG! That is all for today, except to suggest that the go and listen to Minister Benny Begin he is right wing, honest and on point when it comes to what these people need to do!
5. My ultra-right wing Jewish brethern u go 2 far...
sober right ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
yes you have gone to far to the right and now you are in serious danger of becoming anarchists! Come back home, Come back home we are here waiting for you.
6. This bill won't pass, Ulpana has no support...
Michaela ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
have you heard: 1. Minister/MK Benny Begin, Likud and 2. Minister/MK Dan Meridor, Likud Both of these very respected Ministers and Members of Knesset have been very clear... 1. they will NOT vote for or support in any way this law. 2. they have CLEARLY stated that the STATE OF ISRAEL's government with its broad based MAJORITY will not pass any law which would institute ISRAEL RULE OF LAW in Judea and Shomron. This means that the settlers of Ulpana have NO governmental support. This also means that the settlers of Ulpana are a MINORITY attempting to control the duly elected democratic government of Israel. I do believe the Ulpana settlers have gone to far and they will lose their battle.
7. The self-elected Supreme Court DICTATORS are best proof
Benjamin ,   Ramat HaSharon   (06.05.12)
that Israel is NOT a Democracy and NEVER WAS. The Supreme Court NOTHINGS have no right throwing Jews out of their homes.
8. Israel IS a DICTATORSHIP. No doubt about it......!!!!!
Armagedon 101 ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
And several people THINK "they" are the dictator! We need to understand Bibi's true motivation for being so CRUEL AND HEARTLESS against these good citizens. Has he lost all compassion? Has he sold his soul to the devil?
9. Begin and Meridor are Not right wing. They don't belong.....
Democracy???? ,   HAHAAHAHAAAA   (06.05.12)
in Likud. We DIDN'T vote for them. The people who voted LIKUD are getting screwed.
10. These people must SUE the state and anyone else involved
Hit em' where it ,   HURTS   (06.05.12)
for their loss of property, anguish, pain, grief and all their suffering. Start at about 50 million dollars EACH
11. Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...
Avram ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the words of thy G-d, I will also forget thy children. Read the rest of this scripture if you want to know how this will turn out. We can't say we weren't warned!
12. MK Eichner
PaulZion ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
Imagine if the government would turn over power to these right wing fundamentalist fascists. You would call that a theocracy - a Jewish Iran!
13. Orcastrated talkbacks above
Joe Sombrero ,   Usa   (06.05.12)
This is my opinion It is not democrocy when a MK cannot vote his coincidence. It is not democrocy when Court Justices rule on politics and are not interviewed and approved by elected representatives before they are appointed just like in the United States.  It Is not a democracy if the leader of a country does not protect your sovereignty such as the capital of Jerusalem and also historic and legal rights to the west bank. It is not a democracy if your leaders care more what the EU and United States says rather than what is best for Israel.I forgot you cant have a democracy if you have a government basically ran by Foreign government funded NGOs. This is not a question of religion it's a question of sovereignty.
14. @10 terror victims don't get $50 million 4 loss of life....
terror survivor ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
so why should people who ignore the rule "caveat emptor" and buy a house on illegal land get $50 million?! My friend your logic is illogical.
15. @9 betcha u r a newcomer 2 these parts....
Shlomo ,   Efrata, Israel   (06.05.12)
Begin and Meridor not right wing?! You are really too funny and really ignorant too!
16. #3 good question, #10
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.05.12)
#3 in every single similiar case, the ruling was clear. If the person claiming ownership acted immediately, the illegally built houses were destroyed. If the person claiming ownership did not act immediately (as in Ulpana), he received compensation after proving ownership. If the government and the High Court acted in accordance with the law and its own precedent, there would be no danger to Ulpana. In this case, the High Court, the AG and Netanyahu are disregarding the law and acting to destroy the Jews at any cost. #10 where will they sue? At the High Court which wants to destroy their homes and evict their children?
