1. EU must prevent
Harold ,   USA   (02.28.13)
These are just words and no peace happens no matter how much EU says and expresses its opinion. If they realy want peace and end of settlements EU should recognize the State of Palestine with 1967 borders and the settlements and the settlers automatically become part of the Palestinian.
2. The Europeans ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.13)
.... need to start minding their own business. Besides, the single greatest threats to peace are (i) the Palestine Authority and its intransigent so-called "leadership" and (ii) the violent and thuggish Palestinians.
3. Palestine is where?
Jake in Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.28.13)
End Settlement Building Now! Stop Arabs from building all over the place inside Israel! Or do you only have a problem with JEWS building homes? Why are 100 Jews living somewhere called a "settlement" but 100 Arabs living there are called a "village"? Why this hypocrisy? This double standard applies on BOTH sides of the Green Line. If Palis want their own state, then Jordan is waiting for them. But they want MORE. Always. No peace is possible with people who are NEVER satisfied. Jordan *IS* Palestine!
4. Peace deal an illusion
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (02.28.13)
Any peace deal really is an illusion, there will never be an agreement on both sides, because of Jerusalem. Jeruslaem is our capital. All of it, north, south, west AND east. The settlements are the biggest obstacle to peace talks, but the fact that the Palestinians will always make demands with the end of it stated as "or else" is the biggest obstacle towards peace.
5. Tonight I'm a proud European citizen
Gregg ,   Umbria italy   (02.28.13)
And hope my country and others will continue to pressure Brussels to curb Israel's colonialism
6. EU
max ,   washington dc   (02.28.13)
Harold the EU is going bankrupt and looking for a bailout from the rich arab oil countries so they sold their soul and independance for money.
7. Sarah B I hope Europe will bare you
(02.28.13)
From stepping a single foot on European soil. We want to keep it clean
8. "settlements" areTRULY a detriment
rachel ,   Home now   (02.28.13)
To peace! I say get RID of all the ARAB settlements (also known as no go zones by the countries' citizens) within other established countries of Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Jordan and Egypt! THEN we will talk about what Jews are doing or not doing. BTW, Jews make cities for citizens, the neighbors make settlements and camps for continual and generational refugees. Just saying.
9. Sanction Israel NOW
paco ,   canada   (02.28.13)
Israel is no different from Iran and Syria
10. THE EURABIAN DIPS CAN GOT TO SHEOL!
stude ham   (02.28.13)
they have no say over israel's rightful reclamation of the entirety of jerusalem. it is amazing that these eurabian dips have learned nothing from their disastrous east and west berlins and east and west europe. ignore these EU dips... jerusalem rightfully belongs to the jewish people and never once to the foreign invaders in the names of foreign gods. BUILD ISRAEL BUILD!
11. So Jews canno live wherever they wish...
carlos ,   San DiegoU.S.A.   (02.28.13)
Critizcizing the so- called settlements is plain antisemirtism and a violation of the most basic bhuman rights. These EU people will never learn about freedom and about their antisemitic past and crimes.
12. #7 your comments are exactly why
Joe fraser   (02.28.13)
Europe has no right to dictate, certainly not to Jews, which it failed miserably in protecting in WW2.
13. Apes and pigs rhetoric is BIGGEST THREAT
GZLives   (02.28.13)
Wanna do something meaningful EU .... then stand up find your courage and tell them as long as they continue down that sort of road they can be assured they will NEVER have any state, any land or anything resembling it no matter how much you winge and whine
14. Malvinas{Falklands} 'single biggest threat' to South America
ROSENVALD ,   BRAZIL   (02.28.13)
15. Europeans prostitutes.
moriah ,   sacramento ca.   (02.28.13)
Europeans are such oil whores they are willing to force Jews into another untenable situation...Oops, ANOTHER Holocaust? Don't worry, every dog has it's day and by the looks of your decreasing population as opposed to your skyrocketing Muslim population that's not too far in the future...
16. As a Finn I am so ashamed of EU policy towards Israel.
Jouko ,   Finland   (02.28.13)
EU is approaching slowly but certainly the policy of Natzi German: "Beim Juden nicht kaufen". It is so sad, so sad! We never learn from History. The big problem of EU leaders - nowadays they care little about the Jewish Bible. Many Finnish presidents used to read the Bible in the past but not anymore today!
17. EU Hitlerites are biggest Threat
Brod ,   USA   (02.28.13)
EU Pagan Hitlerites are the biggest threat to peace in the region. They continue to foment and support the Arab Islamist-Jihadist terrorists and usurpers that are relentless in usurping the Land of Israel and calling for the the destruction of Israel as stipulated in their Charter, School Textbooks and Maps. Israel should say NO to these Hitlerites. It is time the dark forces understand that Judea and Samaria-the Land of Israel is Israel's Liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland. Two thousand six hundred years ago, GOD promised through His Prophets that He would restore the Children of Israel in Diaspora back to their Historic and Biblical Homeland Israel and make the desolate land bloom again. This prophecy was fulfilled in the 20th century. Read the following: Jeremiah 32:37-41 Jeremiah 31:10 Jeremiah 32:44 Ezekiel 37:15-23 Ezekiel 20:34 Ezekiel 36:33-35 Isaiah 35:1-2 Isaiah 51:3 Amos 9:11,13 Zecharia 8:12
18. Europeans want to put Jews in Ghettoes
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (02.28.13)
the jew hating europeans are once again telling jews where they can live, where they can engage in commerce, where they can learn. this time, they are telling jews where to live in their own sovereign state. unlike in the past, when the jews were totally defenceless and at the mercy of of european jew haters, this time the jews have a country and have an army to defend them. never again will these europeans be able to tell jews to dance to their tune. jews are independent and liberated from millinia of european persecutions.
19. Europe?
Mike ,   Aussie   (02.28.13)
Now let's think about that one - Europe? The murderous continent of over 6 million? Pull out of Lebanon - no peace Pull out of Sinai - no peace Pull out of Gaza - no peace Pull out, Pull out, Pull out. Europe should Pull out of Europe and jump in the North Atlantic.
20. Hidden Elite Financiers controlling the EU
Nik ,   KL, Malaysia   (02.28.13)
Theres hidden Rich Muslim financiers/Investors playing with EU's Balls.
21. This is Barack Hussein Obama.
ROSENVALD ,   BRAZIL   (02.28.13)
He is partner in prevent e. Jerusalem construction whit european.
22. The Israeli settlements are more legal than all Europe.
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (02.28.13)
23. #3 my post is not here yet but
rachel ,   Home now   (02.28.13)
I agree! No one seems to notice ANY Arab settlements/"refugee" camps let alone the GROWTH! Why is it a crime against peace for only Jews? BECAUSE everything is an excuse for antisemitic speech and behavior! When will we learn to stop relying on what the goyim think? Since when do these antisemitic creatures care for the survival of any Jew, any where on this planet? Let us just stand on our own feet. IY"H we will be ok.
24. @1
Anshel ,   Canada   (02.28.13)
Harold is either blind or pretends to be blind. Abbas clearly declared that no Jew shall live in his Palestine state. It seems that Harold cannot even read his lips... Beside, when and who designated 1967 borders with Palestine, I challenge Harold to show us at least 1 such documents. Maybe Harold needs to verify the facts that there was only an armistice line between Jordan and Israel from 1949 until June 1967. Just because Harold like to repeat a lie, the mantra for the leftists and Jew haters, doesn't mean that he is right. He is wrong!
25. # 7
Jules   (02.28.13)
As the Ancient Egyptians had noticed (too late though), an empire which the Jews leave behind, has no chances for survival. That's a law of the nature.
26. EU willfully ignores Arab racism.
Fsu   (02.28.13)
The only reason settlements are a problem is that the Palestinians refuse to have Jews in their future  state. The Arabs should be courting the settlers, not demonizing them.  Jews have every right to live on that land, and a "peace deal" is not an excuse to deny Jews their rights. Arab hostility and racism is being taken for granted by these "diplomats."
27. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.28.13)
And I hope that the European Union and others will pressure Italy to pay their bills. Something they haven't done in around two and one-half years.

Harold ,   USA   (02.28.13)
You are just having bad dreams.
29. EU proudly presents the latest "biggest obstacle" to peace
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (02.28.13)
The main "obstacle " to peace in 1967 was the Arab armies attempts to defeat Israel. However, Israel beat the Arab armies and by beating these Arab armies, Israel cynically became the biggest "obstacle" to peace. Israel again became the "biggest obstacle" to peace in 1973 by defeating the armies of Egypt and Syria..... which had attacked Israel. Everytime Israel wins, many people in the World get annoyed and criticise Israel because of Israel's survival and triumph in battle. These days, Israel building houses becomes the greatest " obstacle " to peace. The EU is turned upside down and inside out because of Israel's building of homes. The Arabs, Syrians, Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel, Egypt , Iraq, Afghanistan, the Moslem Brotherhood, Iran's nuclear efforts, Hamas firing rockets from Gaza into Israel are "not obstacles " to peace ...... according to the logic of the EU and UN...... go figure !
30. Put an end to destructive E.U. meddling once and for all.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.28.13)
The time is long overdue to put an end to destructive E.U. meddling once and for all. The E.U., which caused both World Wars, and most of the world's problems, has no business presuming to tell Israel what to do. Have the courage to tell the E.U. to butt out.
