First of all your ignorance is SO showing ..much of the money america gives to Israel MUST (IS REQUIRED TO BE) be spent on AMERICAN MILITARY PRODUCTS THAT COST MORE THAN THE ISRAELI COUNTERPART AND THUS IS IN FACT SPENT ON AMERICANS AND AMERICAN COMPANIES... Secondly, your ignorance of the history here is lacking also...the settlements are not illegal and if the whole world thinks they are does that change the legal facts??? No it only shows the absolute stupidity of the world and it's opinion.

not an alpha male between them...they need to ask permission..get in a huddle to decide how to confront tiny israel..haha...the free world is all washed up..lackeys for islam..build bibi..build..

answer: it is the US thinking that everything Israel does must be in the USA interests, like a good little banana republic. The US should support Israel on moral grounds and historical truth, if not, they can go down with the rest of the Western world to the Hell they have created for themselves. Israel won't have your back.

Your so called "Banana Republic" Lets you get on the internet,,lets you chat on the internet,your'e probably taking medecine that this "Banana Republic" is producing & inventing Daily plus about another hundred or sotechnological toys that you use daily.and we the united states profit from it..so our money isnt copmpletely being wasted

Obama is also behind Germany and most of Europe's last minute change decisions to abstain or vote for the PA, instead of voting against. This way Israel doesn't have a chance, but it would look like the US is Israel's biggest friend for voting against the PA right? Bibi knows what happened and this is why he is reacting the way he is reacting. Obama doesn't care for the Jews. He wants to push Israel to the limits, thinking there will be peace with a bunch of nutcrackers Palestinians. This is what happened and tell me if I'm wrong: 1 Obama tell Europeans to vote for PA Statehood to pressure Israel 2. Obama votes against the PA to look good in front of Jews. 3. Bibi punished the PA 4. Obama tell the Europeans to condemn Israel's construction and summon Israel's embassadors (scare tactic) 5. Bibi is mad at Obama, cause he found out what happened, so he orders new talks about more construction (additional 1600 units). 6. Instead of the US punishing Abbu Mazen, they tell Israel to support Abbu Mazen. 7. Now Israel looks bad again. This is all thanks to Obama, who wants to destroy Israel.

Goverments killing their own people and people of different religions to theirs all over the world. However the world from japan to sweden to Brazil are furious with Israel for building some apartments in the Jewish peoples capital. A tiny nation with big hearts and high morals with no true friends in the world. No chance of getting rid of us sorry- we have a promise from G-d that He will never extinguish the Jewish light. Signed with love and Joy

The "Palestinian" squatters are citizens of Jordan. They cannot take part in Israeli elections.

settlment. What were you doining in Gaza Anyway. As for your revisionist history. the original name of the town Sderot was Najd an Arab village ethnicly cleansed along with about 521 villages. What happened to Dier Yassin. You know they made a deal with the Jews before the Massacre. Yes the wonderful land of Israel a shining beakon to the world where you can shoot and kill a mother and daughter waving a white flag and recieve 45 days in jail

Keep doing it. Because one day the USA is going to have enough of your crap. When that day comes Israel will face sanctions approved by the UN Security Council. No country will deserve it more than Israel. Israelis will have no one to blame but themselves. No whining about the anti-semites will make any difference. Payday someday.

Israel is not the 51st state stop thinking like haaretz and act like a independent country. There are many things Israel can do against any threats by Europe and the US if that happened. State Officials you mean Ehud Barak and Peres the sweethearts of Obama who recently got medals from the US

Foreign Minister Bob Car said: "Such activity threatens the viability of a two-state solution without which there will never be security in Israel." There will never be security so long as there are peoples living in the land of Israel who want to obliterate the Jewish state no matter her borders. Obviously there isn't enough room in this tiny piece of land.

Forced transfer of hostile inhabitants to Jordan coupled with the annexation of Judea and Samaria.

Don't be stupid and get off your high lefti horse. Israel should build 100000 homes wherever Israel wants. I am sick and tired of hearing negative garbage coming out of Israel! Don't you have enemies enough? Stand united whatever you think and shut up!

People don't understand about Obama and Israel. Barack Hussein Obama can never get truly tough on Israel. The American people won't let him. They'd say he's prejudiced. I grew up in Red America during the 1970s. When America saved Israel in October 1973, and for that was hit by an OPEC oil embargo, nobody I knew blamed Israel. They all blamed the Arabs. American feminists are, if anything, even more opposed to the Arabs (and Muslims generally) than Red America. And now that the Arabs and Turks are going the way of the Iranians in 1978-80, even a lot of politically correct Blue Americans are starting to question the U.S. government's four-decade-old Middle East policy. Relax. And give up the idea of building this settlement.

Uptil now the Palestinians had no incentive to return to talks. Natanyahu also had no chips he was prepared to give up. Now Natanyahu can dangle the card of delaying these building permits if they get back to talks. Excellent move by Natanyahu and no doubt the USA and Europeans know his tactics. What upsets the Europeans is that the Palestinians won't talk so the Israelis will build.

worry about the money you spent on Egypt before it explodes in your uggly face.

The prophet speakds of a day when the nations (maybe the USA as well) will have had enough of our crap and they invade Israel with armies; a coalition of nations. Will you be in the front lines, leading the charge? The prophet continues: "You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and beast of the field...." How about it World Citizen. Can we count on you to leave your key board; to be on the front lines?

In Israeli hospitals there are Arab Israeli doctors, in the hospital beds there are jews and arabs lying in the same rooms. Until you know what apartheid means then shut up! PS for the matter if Palestinians what they can vote in their own "UNGA country" elections when they decide to have them. oops that's right when was their last election.... hmmmm! Build Yehudah build I say!

For an investment of a relatively few thousand dollars, we could easily serve the U.N., E.U., all world governments, media, NGOs and religious organizations with incontrovertible legal proof Judea and Samaria are ours. Why didn't we do so long ago? This would strengthen Israel, encourage our friends and allies, while exposing our foes as the racist scum they are.

You come from the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert. Keep running your mouth, and we will send you there. In the meantime -- you go to any court in the world you like. You rejected partition in 1947, and you cannot call upon it now. You people continue to be your own worst enemy. Don't antagonize Israel too much -- you won't like the consequences. You Arabs are one delusional piece of work!

the jew stands up and is all alone.it is, after all, written in the prophets! a lamb among 70 wolves.can't wait for the next chapter in THE HISTORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE. 1

"One state official claimed that to anger the Europeans would be a strategic mistake at this point..." Suddenly, the Europeans are our friends?? Reminds me of the two Jews who were about to be shot to death in front of a German firing squad in 1944. One of the Jews defiantly, takes off his blindfold and says to his friend "Wait, I think we should ask them for a cigarette as one final wish". His friend, nervously mutters "Are you crazy!! Do you want to get us in trouble??"

Of course a majority of Israelis support the two state solution -- with Jordan being the other state. The rest of us don't care what happens to vermin. The majority of Israelis do support settlements in our land. You will get what the ersatz "Palestinians" can rightfully claim -- absolutely nothing. Go back to the Hejaz in the western Arabian desert where you come from. We have had quite enough of you lot. The State of Israel is here to stay. Forever. The ersatz "Palestinians" are finished. Do you understand?

What part of ISRAEL WON SIX WARS ALL OF THEM STARTED BY THE ARABS do you not understand? There are certain consequences which accrue to violent terrorists who LOSE WARS. They may not be pleasant .... but that would be their problem, wouldn't it? By the way, what part of Algonquin, or Seneca, Manhatta or Mohawk land did you steal? What if they go to the ICC and demand its return? Do you have a nice carton you can move into? I hope so, for your sake. Me? I have a lovely home in Israel. What are you going to do when you end up on the street? Besides die, I mean. No great loss there, actually.

Where did you serve in the IDF? Alternatively, what form of national service did you perform? Or are you just a leech on the State of Israel? You are so full of hatred for the State of Israel's government, one does wonder what you are doing in Israel in the first place. You certainly haven't contributed anything. So, where exactly DID you serve? Or are you just a parasite?

No, the ersatz "Palestinians" are pawns. Israel is not in the least bit interested in returning to phony negotiations. The ersatz "Palestinians" are going to pay a price, and it will be a heavy one. Basically, they just dropped their queen, and their king is open. Israel will not negotiate with a terrorist rabble (the ersatz "Palestinians" handed that to Israel on a platter); Israel will continue to build; Israel will cut off funds to the ersatz "Palestine" Authority; Israel will revoke the work permits of the ersatz "Palestinians" and Israel will annex Judea and Samaria. Checkmate. The ersatz "Palestinians" are finished. Now, it is just a matter of time -- a short time. And the ersatz "Palestinians" have only themselves to blame.

Then I cannot imagine how stabbed in the back he must feel that he was publicly telling abbas not to declare statehood at the UN, and then abbas notonly declaring statehood, he tells the world how America cannot tell him what to do. So why isn't Obama voicing this backstab publicly? Why only with Israel?Israel warned everyone that If abbas goes thru with the UN appeal, there will be consequences. So why the hell is everyone so shocked? Listen, the UN has allot on its plate. Under ban-ki moon there has been tens of thousands of Muslims massacred. Not a great track record. Killing in my book is worse than building. If anything, if the Palestinians decide they want peace, wealready know from proof with Gaza that Israel will sacrifice its own people to strive for peace. UN, stop the massacres first, then fight the hammers,I mean we really do live in a bizzaro world.

Many Arabs live in Israel, but a few Jews outside of Israel are a problem?!

You're slapping the south African blacks in the face, they suffered from Apartheid. The Pallys can have a state of their own tomorrow, just if they lay down their weapons and join peace talks with Israel. Israel have waited for 40 years, but their's a reason they won't do it. They want it all.
