2. GERMANY CRITICIZES ISRAEL ?
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (11.07.12)
These sons and daughters of Nazis should keep quiet for the next ten thousand years. HOW DARE THEY ?
3. ech to them. you all know the arguments.
ralph   (11.08.12)
4. Hypocrites
Alex   (11.08.12)
"Our clear expectation of all sides in the Middle East is that they refrain from anything that will make the resumption of negotiations more difficult," German Foreign Minister Guido - So, where are your harsh condemnations against the palestinian UN bid? Don't tell me... The palestinians can do what they want, but the Jews, ehmm Israelis must obey their their gentile masters...?
5. Not enough ,...
split ,   US   (11.08.12)
Sanctions and a moratorium on sub's delivery would be more convincing ,...
6. Sons and daughetrs of murderers
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (11.08.12)
from Lydda and Deir Yassin should keep quiet as well.
7. IGNORE EUROPEANS AND BUILD
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (11.08.12)
Israel must ignore the arrogant antisemtic European Bastards and must build.
8. Provacotive?
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (11.08.12)
Yes, these apartments are much more harmful to the "peace process" than rockets falling on Southern Israel, etc. I actually agree with the lunatic "split" on this, it's not enough. Israel should build up in East Jerusalem while flattening all of Gaza. I say destroy the border fence between Gaza and Egypt, then squeeze those bastards out of Gaza like toothpaste from its tube.
9. Given Europe's history ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.08.12)
... the Europeans are the last people on the face of the earth with a right to criticize Israel. The most appropriate smackdown -- which will send a very strong message that will resonate in a great many capitals, not just in Europe -- would be for Israel to double or triple the number of homes to be built. If the ersatz "Palestinians" want to whine (and they always do), let them whine a little louder.
10. Eurabian comdemnation gives instant validity to any plan.
BH ,   Iowa   (11.08.12)
11. Blah, blah, blah
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.08.12)
If Jews need homes, the Goyim criticize us. ho hum.
12. "..... with Jerusalem as a shared capital"
Vlad   (11.08.12)
What part of "We will never divide Jerusalem" do you Euroweenies not understand?
13. Where does the almost bankrupt EU...
Malone ,   Hfx   (11.08.12)
....get off critizing Israel,the most prosperous country in the ME? Don't they have enough on their plate? This does . not/should not concern them. Take your 2 cents(if you have it) and shove it.
14. sons & daughters of what?
Maurice Solovitz ,   London England   (11.08.12)
do you know what sort of person condemns an entire nation (race) for the acts of the few? But if you do not then what about the sons and daughters of the murderers of Kfar Etzion? I am sure we can come up with lots of tit for tat if you really want to play that game.
15. One Hell of a Nerve
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (11.08.12)
All of these countries having participated in the deportation and slaughtering of 6 million Jews, they have one hell of a nerve dictating to us. Europe, shut your mouths and enjoy having murdered a literate, educated, productive population for your now Muslim majorities.
16. germany
(11.08.12)
you dare to criticize israel AND AT THE SAME TIME DOING A ROBUST BUSINESS IMPORTS AND EXPORTS TO IRAN? shut the hell up germany. you have no business complaining while shaking business palms with iran.
17. OUR EUROPEAN FRIENDS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (11.08.12)
Only critize Jews when they are alive, when they are dead they build museums, play their music and adore their art. It just pisses them of that we are still around and that is not because by thier lack of trying to get us to go away for the past 1900 years.
18. the real reason....
tcjpportunity or els ,   paris france   (11.08.12)
the reason Europe is mad is as follow...Cameron and Hollande were in saudi arabia selling war planes. It goes as follow with arab contracts, we shall buy your gear but you must demonize israel at every opportunity. The contracts have an unwritten clause that is told to every diplomat that goes to the arab world.. ".don´t come and sell us anything if you are not pr´-palestinians."
19. Jerusalem
alan ,   ohio   (11.08.12)
Interesting that it's OK for the Pals to unilaterally apply to the UN for an upgrade in status but not OK for Israel to unilaterally expand housing in Jerusalem...the unified capital of the Jewish people which will not be divided unless Jews can set up synagogues in all Arab countries and Hebron is divided as well!!!! Tell the EU to f...ck off.
20. Split #5
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (11.08.12)
Biased and masochist Split??? No way!!!
21. Israel turning off Jews in the USA
Mark ,   Cleveland   (11.08.12)
I was taught that Israel exists partially to be a safe haven for world Jewry. Israel is becoming a liability to world Jewry. This Israeli government is aggressive, careless and has no interest in negotiating with any Arabs if that means they might have to give up anything. No give and take. Surrender or we will keep building. The next war with the Arabs will different than all the others. Israel will be the villain, supported by no one. Perhaps not even other Jews.
22. Eurotrash
Alex ,   LOD Israel   (11.08.12)
These Europeans stole billions of dollars worth of Jewish property, still have not returned it. They have no place to talk. We will do what we want in our country. Pals don't like it they can move to Eurostan.
23. Talkbackers increasingly similar to Iranians, Arabs
Dave ,   Sao Paulo   (11.08.12)
If you go to Iranian or Arab news websites, you will see the very similar comments attacking Western countries. Indeed, the West's policies have no reason to be popular. However, Israel's current policies are making it be viewed increasingly negatively, and this consequently affects Jews worldwide in a not so good way. I hope the fellow talkbackers realize that this attitude of "who cares what you say I can do whatever I want" is wrong and even childish, and that the current Israeli government is not demonstrating a true desire to make peace with the Palestinians. Until when can the status quo last?
24. Stop talking EU , start boycotting.
ppa   (11.08.12)
you'll be suprised how fast the zionists back down.
25. If 1200 bugs them, build 2400 more to desensitise them.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.08.12)
26. I would think the mass slaughter in Syria and the economic
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.08.12)
situation in Europe would be of much more concern for Europeans than dealing with a perfectly legal act of the authorities in Israel - check international law, please!! - and the bilateral agreements Israel has maintained with its Arab neighbors - check the 1995 Interim Agreement between Israel and the PLO, please!! - in governing the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel. Incidentally, demanding of Jews, only because they are Jewish, to refrain from dwelling in certain parts on earth is a form of racism, anti-Jewish racism at that. Sadly, Europe has had its share of this phenomenon, but insists on having a larger share yet...!!
27. Go on with building ...
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.08.12)
..it is your country, Israel. The EU and USA have put the north Africa on fire, then they are hard-working with Syria, and now they are taking on Israel.
28. #17 Couldn't have said it better myself
Alex   (11.08.12)
So true
29. Netanyahu
sf2oak ,   oakland usa   (11.08.12)
Netanyahu said it succinctly, "They bomb, we build." Where is europe when Israel gets shelled daily by "palestinians"? also what don't they understand about being on the losing side and not getting territory?
30. AP should stop meddling in Israel.
Miron ,   USA   (11.08.12)
An American agency should stop hostile propaganda against Israel.
