1. BUILDING TOWNS IN J/S - ONE OF THE FEW GOOD USES OF TX MONEY
Davy   (05.01.13)
2. "Brother" Ariel....
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.01.13)
....does not want to share the burden of "Brother" Lapid's budgetery cuts. If he threatens to leave the government together with "Brother" Bennet, so be it. "Sister" Yachimovich will gladly step in.
3. Demand UNLIMITED Judea and Samaria building.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.01.13)
The time is long overdue for the vast pagtriotic Israeli majority to rise up and put a total end the the "occupations" lies. This tiny land is ours and always will be. It has been incontrovertibly proven by many world leading international law experts including even Eugene Rostow, author of U.N. Resolution 242. Demand UNLIMITED Jewish building in all of Judea and Samaria. No more games. This land is ours!
4. Uriel
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (05.01.13)
You can't find a more dangerous person than Uriel, a fanatical religious settler, who will go to any length including destroy the government to achieve his goals. Him and his cohorts from Beit Hayehudi are as big a threat to the State as the Charidim. Better to kick them out now and bring in the Labor party. The country is fed up and sick of these fanatics who in the name of religion and the settlements want to steal from the State as the Charidim did, enough! His air of superiority, of disdain for anyone who disagrees with him, his self-righteousness reminds me of the way the Nazi leaders stood and pouted themselves.
5. I cannot think ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.01.13)
.... of a better way to spend our tax dollars than to support the settlements and their industries. What! It offends the illegal Arab squatters? Too bad. That's what happens when you lose wars you start. Boo hoo hoo. The Arabs can cry me a river. Shouldn't have gone to war in the first place -- but they did, didn't they? And now they have to face the consequences. Boo hoo hoo.
6. KEEP BUILDING!!!!!
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (05.01.13)
Israel is not a vassel state. She will continue to BUILD AND GROW!!!! Those who would interfere can go to hell. No interference, no arabs, obama or pals. KEEP BUILDING !!! It guarantees that ALL of Israel will remain ALL of Israel.
7. Ariel only cares about the settlers not other citizens
Ted   (05.01.13)
8. state to fund settlements
jack ,   netanya   (05.01.13)
what about first funding housing for the young people as promised by BIBI. What a joke !!!
9. I cannot think of a better way to sped our tax
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (05.01.13)
dollars than to support settlements and their industries. Neither can I. Building 'settlements' that will become cities of Israel and of her future. No one has the right to dictate command or even suggest what israel may or may not do in Israel period. "What if it offends the illegal Arab squatters? Especially if it 'offends' them. It would prove that the settlement's are the greatest weapon Israel has. Marvelous.. ANNEX BUILD CAPITOL ALL OF JERUSALEM. Shalom.
10. # 3 CHAIM FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (05.01.13)
11. #10 Chaim for President !!!
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.01.13)
I would prefer Chaim as King in a new Kingdom of "Judea and Samaria", a seperate entity from the State of Israel.
12. #5 Sarahb -there's no time for boohoos !
On the Balcony ,   Akko   (05.01.13)
It is only a matter of a few months or so before Bibi announces the formation of a unity government (a la Sharon before pulling out of Gaza). Some MPs will resign, Labor will join the government, Bennet will likely go into opposition, and you know who willl lead the re-opening of negotiations with the Palestinians. The clock is ticking. No time for boohoos - better start collecting money for the RE-settlement of Palestinian Jews in Israel. Isn't it wonderful to finallly have something really constructive for you to do? :)
13. Unlimited demand
jack ,   netanya   (05.01.13)
Remind me who Hitler ,who send millions of settles in Poland and Ukraine, remember what happened to them !!!
14. Values.
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (05.01.13)
Well at least we can now see the vaunted values of the settler movement - the value of our money. I have a counter suggestion - pay for your owns just like us secular donkeys who have been leached dry to subsidize the praying classes
15. What about Israel taking care of real Israelis
(05.01.13)
the ones who work and live within the Green Line (Israel) and not in Palestine
16. re: #5: p.s. I agree, you cannot think... [end]

17. #3 Repeating lies won't make them true
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (05.01.13)
We've had this discussion before. It doesn't matter what the lawyer who helps write a document thinks; it is the opinion of the principles responsible for it’s creation that matters. Not a single member of the Security Council that voted for R242 agrees with Rostow's interpretation. No other nation does. Not one. In fact, the UN Security Council has repeatedly condemned the settlements, unanimously calling them a "flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention" and calling upon Israel to dismantle them. (UNSCR465). The ICRC and ICJ have ruled similarly and even the Israeli High Court does not recognize the settlements as being part of Israel. Ask yourself --why hasn’t the government of Israel endorsed the Levy Report? They know the truth. It's bogus. You’re a victim and I pity you as I do all of the settlers who are soon to be betrayed.

exUK ,   TEl Aviv   (05.02.13)
The "illegal Arab Squatters" have lived there for far longer than our American and other people,who were encouraged to live there via subsidies,or so called God given rights.It was mot the innocent ordinary citizen who started wars,it was governments.Sarah,for once please try to have a little humanity and feeling for Mr and Mrs average citizen.Then we might just have a chance to foster understanding which may lead us to peace.For every bad act an Arab did,we can now quote equally bad acts,which were often responses to the other side,and vice versa.The cycle of violence must stop.How can one live with so much hate in their hearts.?
19. Money is needed to build in ISRAEL PROPER
exUK ,   Tel Aviv   (05.02.13)
in order to help normal ordinary people with no direct line to God and no hate in their hearts.These settlers are destroying Israel,its good name and by association,that of Jewish people all over the world.It is ashame that you cannot see that most of Arab Hate for us is as a result of what we do over the line.PEACE PLEASE!!!
20. exUK Tel Aviv 19
(05.02.13)
