6. when you can't solve your own problems, what do you do?
tiki ,   belgium   (12.10.12)
The EU can't solve their own mess, so they 'occupy themselves with the Middle East, a part of the world 10 shoe sizes to big for these Liberal dwarfs. Their euphoric bosses, weaponed with the best champagne and in a total hallelujah mood are on their way to receive the Nobel Peace prize. Colonial Europe (till this day), Continent of 2 WW, centuries of regional wars & religion wars, really has the nerve to tell Israel what to do to protect themselves against countries who's reason for living is the destruction of Israel.
7. Europeans: Do you "also" want Palestine instead of Israel
Lyliane A-Brunschwig ,   Jerusalem ISRAEL   (12.10.12)
Don't colaborate with the real plan-not only of the Hamas' but also of the Fatah/PLO-which has always been the extiction of the Jewish State and to have Palestine INSTEAD of Israel !
8. Is Israel-----
ELYGOLDART ,   St Louis Park   (12.10.12)
telling the EU where & where not to build. Thy should stay out of Israel's internal affairs. There deeper & more urgent problems to worry about in the world.
9. Then they will decide
steve from raleigh   (12.10.12)
Where in the EU they permit Jews to live.
10. Doesnt EU see that Arabs want WHOLE Israel,not just West Ban
Alan ,   SA   (12.10.12)
11. E1 Construction
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (12.10.12)
Wake up dear Israelis before it is too late!!! What kind of leaders have you been voting for?! Why has this not been done before?! Please speed up construction ASAP and annex Area C and in particular Eastern Part Of Jerusalem. PA took unilateral action against Israel. Hamas has again been threatening Israel and the Jewish people. The EU is as much against the Jews and Israel as anybody else. Please in the coming elections ask your leaders to implement the construction and annex areas already under Israel's sole control. Hamas and Gaza are part of Egypt and its their problem to deal with it. Areas under PA control are part of Jordan. Let them take it over and deal with it. It is their problem to call it Jordan or "Palestine"! Please please please act before it is too late. May the light of Ahura Mazda be with you.
12. The EU will be bankrupt soon.
Paul Valershteyn ,   Dortmund, Germany   (12.10.12)
Hi Chris! I’m fully agree with you
13. Arabs have Mecca, Jews have Jerusaleum!
Shep Fargotstein ,   Memphis   (12.10.12)
I sincerely hope that BiBi has resolve and holds fast to the fact that E1 will be built and Jerusalem permanently Israeli sovereign property - and the capital of Israel forever. I am not Orthodox, but it is obvious that there are other solutions (Jordan is Palestine) that must be brought to the table. There is not peace partner and the dialogue about a future peace option will have to be changed: Refugees No! Jerusalem will always remain under JEWISH custody! The EU will just have to get used to the idea, and they will. They know that Israel is has been a good custodian of the old City and they also know that if the Palestinians get part of it, it would just prolong the conflict and bring it inside the walls of the Old City.
14. Turn the Tables
David ,   Montpelier USA   (12.10.12)
Israel needs to pre-emptivly turn the tables. Before the EU can make its threat of punitive action Israel must let the EU know what Israel's punitive action is in response to EU support for PA UN action. If EU does not want Israel to proceed with E-1, then prove it by EU action against PA for not publicly rejecting Hamas call to eliminate Israel.
15. plans
co;in   (12.10.12)
The E U must find a way to stop intefering wih IISRAEL The building will go forward as the younger population sets up house.as is done in every country in the world
16. Excuses, excuses, excuses!
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.10.12)
E1 is a piece of land connecting Jerusalem with Ma'aleh Adumim that was planned in the early 1990s by no other than the late Mr. Yizhaq Rabin, the very man who was referred in Europe as "the prince of peace"! Indeed, in his speech at the Knesset on 5 October 1995, Mr. Rabin explicitly stated that Ma'aleh Adumim will be part of Jerusalem when E1 will connect the two. And, every government since - right, left and center - accepted the plan that Mr. Rabin put forward, including the negotiators of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Camp David, 2000, and as part of Olmert's peace proposal, 2008.
17. Just stunning degenerate absurity
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (12.10.12)
Don't these morons get what is happening in the world? This is a perfect example of why civilizations die. It is a failure of real purpose, and a 'progressive' belief in tolerance of evil.
18. The EU Foreign Miinisters Have Nothing
ltrail ,   United States   (12.10.12)
to do but focus on the Settlements that the State of Israel are Building. Way down their Agenda, are the problems of Syrian WMD's, and Iraq sword rattling. Then, the EU pats itself on the back for now being at war AGAIN, for decades. Lol. The EU has lost the respect of the world's peoples, sad to say.
19. Glad they have their priorities straight
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (12.10.12)
Check out their order of priorities: 1) Meet on the crisis of Israel building houses 2) oh yea, while we're all here let's talk about the 50,000 dead Syrians and the millions more displaced and threatened.. You'd think that given their alleged valuation of human rights, the order would be: 1) OMG ...there are 50000 dead Syrians including thousands of women and children and hundreds of thousands about to freeze in refugee camps as winter sets in, followed by 2) oh yea, while we're all here let's talk about those silly Israelis threatening to build houses again because the Palestinians refuse to negotiate a peace treaty with them. Very clear that anti-Israel sentiment is more of a motivator than human rights.
20. I don't remember all this fuss when Hamas fired rockets
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (12.10.12)
Why should Israel do what the EU wants, and why do countries like the UK whine about the supposedly-essential nature of the two-state "solution" (aka stepping stone)?
21. Two days ago the "Palestinians" called to wipe the UN member
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.10.12)
state of Israel off the face of earth, and they demanded that the Jews in Israel prepared their passports for expulsion from their homeland. But Europe, as in the 1930s and 1940s was silent!! But, when Jews construct their small apartments in the heart of their ancestral homeland Europe finds such an act a catastrophe. Some things change, but some.., don't...!!
22. Curious if ministers have met to address rockets
Carl ,   USA   (12.10.12)
Has this illustrious group of European ministers felt the need to pool their collective intellects to stop the Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and to develop a solution to the rampant smuggling of weapons through Egypt, Sudan and Iran? Why is it only passive Israeli actions that cause these world bodies to assemble?
23. 21st century EU... "20 people die in first year's snowfall"
Miron ,   USA   (12.10.12)
24. EUTEND TO YOUR OWN PROBLEMS 1ST
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (12.10.12)
25% UNEMPLOYMENT IN GREECE & SPAIN After you have that solved, yiou can tell us how to handle ourselves Besdies, who in the hell asked your sorry lot for any advice?
25. only one question
(12.10.12)
the E WHO?
26. Arabs have MANY countries, Israel ONE! Balance=Arab TRANSFER
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.10.12)
27. Do the possible to restart peace talks & create two states.
Michael ,   California, USA   (12.10.12)
28. EU blustering won'
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.10.12)
29. EU blustering won't stop the building, IT GOES ON.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.10.12)
30. Bibi
Bobo ,   Somewhere   (12.10.12)
Start the building of the new homes between Jerusalem and Maale, and these can be the beginnings of Bibi's legacy to Israel. After the election He should say that unless the PLO.withdraw their attempt to be part of the UN. he will give the go ahead for another 10,000 new homes.
