1. Al-Quds is corpus separatum...It is NOT Israel's capital
Lynx ,   Palestine   (05.13.13)
Nor is any Israeli territorial conquest of its territory, even its Western part, recognized by nations, international law and institutions. Given Israel's intransigence, it is no wonder that East Jerusalem will soon be RECOGNIZED as Palestine's capital. This, however, should not be perceived as a Palestinian concession in the Western parts of the city - again, refer to the Partition Plan, international law, and Jerusalem as a Corpus Separatum - also Palestinian Arab land deeds in the Western districts.
2. Plenty of sites to build on in western Jerusalem...
Jew ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (05.13.13)
the principle issues are that: 1. TAMA 38 projects are not being approved. 2. Land in western Jerusalem isn't being released 3. Mayor Barkat with his Likud orientation doesn't have a reasonable and organized urban plan for western Jerusalem or any other part of the city. He only has a party plan to keep all of Jerusalem's residents busy as the city implodes and he only has eyes for building Jewish housing in eastern Jerusalem without thought for the non-Jewish residents of the city.
3. Bibi must be dealt with as a grave danger to Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.13.13)
Bibi appears intent on implementing the lunatic policies of the left, though he rose to power on the backs of the vast patriotic majority. We must have a massive uprising by Israelis to thwart Bibi's sick plans. He is a grave danger to Israel and must be dealt with as such.
4. no uproar?!?!?!?!
Mike ,   TA   (05.13.13)
Lack of accountability and transparency is what led us here. On Jerusalem Day!!!! Instead of bringing Jews from Russia Germany Turkey large scenaliya we are disconnecting ourselves from East Jerusalem. How come no uproar?!?!?!
5. Time to storm the Bastille! Get your pitchforks!
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.13.13)
6. Truer Words were never spoken
MediaHisPartner ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.13.13)
7. Why do you never advocae Media Protest?
Protest4BalanceMedia ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.13.13)
I find it very very very strange that the Nationalist leaders never ever ever called for a mass protest before IBA studios around the county to call for a balanced media the most important influence in Israeli politics that has brought so much misinformation leading to tens of thousands of deaths over the years NEVER has any nationalist leader called for mass protests for a balanced democratic media What game are you guys playing ???!!! If you were really serious in change you would have done it long ago.
8. But the Jews will administer the Security
Zechariah   (05.13.13)
Not sure how the writer became so infuriated sometimes it pays to be diplomatic and allow conflicts to cool .The Land for Jew Arab and International needs a massive security protection for decades and centuries.
9. It's true
Eyal ,   USA Israel   (05.13.13)
10. JUST KEEP BUILDING DAMN IT!!!!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.13.13)
Israel, if you don't allow Jews to build Arabs will. Shame on you, BUIILD !!!!!
11. #2 checked out ur comments thanks for sharing the truth
(05.13.13)
12. The Land of Israel
Yussuf ,   Sweden   (05.13.13)
The land, east of Jordan river, is ours as well. Why ? The Bible says so!
13. @10 LMAO the Arabs are the builders
(05.13.13)
or haven't you heard that all workers on building projects in Israel today are either Arab or Chinese? really crawl out from under your dark rock and go read all about it.
14. #7 because the Right wingers control the media!
Israel ,   Israel   (05.13.13)
Yes that's correct, they have controlled for years and years.... sorry to bust your protest bubble but that there is the truth!
15. Obama's influence
Danny ,   London England   (05.13.13)
Bibi depends on US support in the UN and international bodies, and obviously there is always a price to pay. What interests me is that there seems to be no US pressure on the PA to have an election even though President Abbas's term expired many years ago! Can you imagine the USA or Israel postponing elections indefinitely?
16. Annex Judea/Samaria and BUILD !!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (05.13.13)
Stop playing with these racist muslims. Jerusalem is Jewish, all of it, if these racists don't like it go back to mecca and medina the racist taken from other people. If Israel gives in, next is Tel Aviv and Haifa. Kick these bastard racist muslim out of Israel and send them back to their homeland.

BEN JABO MACHAL ,   Israel   (05.13.13)
Please explain, if you can, why neither Jerusalem or Palestine are mentioned once in your Quran YOU can be the very first to come up with an explanation
18. The true Israeli apartheid
Gnomercy9 ,   USA   (05.13.13)
The Jewish majority is ruled by the arab minority through violence, intimidation, subversion, extortion, and more violence.
19. #1, nice fantasy you got going there
Jake ,   USA   (05.13.13)
Reality is that Israel, all of Jerusalem, and Judea/Samaria is under Jewish control. But please, keep fantasizing..
20. @18
John ,   Israel   (05.13.13)
Yes that's right - reminds me of how the Iraqi-afghan alliance invaded the USA and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans at the turn of the century. You may want to check out the casualties on the Palestinian and Israeli sides to find out who has the monopoly on violence in this conflict. Spoiler alert; it's the Israelis (by a factor of dozens).
21. This doesn't mean Jerusalem will be partitioned
Jake ,   USA   (05.13.13)
It just means Bibi is a weak negotiator.
22. bibi is so insecure and weak on his own
marv   (05.13.13)
rabbo, abbas' negotiator said that he and molcho, and bibi held peace talks 2 years ago. H is description of bibi amounts to a scared kid spreading bull and running away. Instead of looking rabbo in the eye directly, and saying we want the jordan valley, area C in total, security postings on the ridges and all jerusalem, he describes bibi's responses smiles and whining and then not calling back. i told you that on his own, though he means well, bibi is yellow to the bone. He surrounds himself with strongmen which is OK, but he himself cannot take a hit or take pressure. On the other hand, arabs are born liars, absolute liars!
23. NOT ONE SQUARE INCH !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.13.13)
24. Chaim @#3
Israeli 2   (05.13.13)
The Parliament and its Turkish and English rules and laws should be replaced by a Sanhedrin and the laws according to the Torah. Remember what Bibi said in his speech: "I am with Jabotinsky and ben Gurion." These people never had a vision of greater Israel. The coastal regions from Neharya down to Tel Aviv suffice. As long as J Street and the pathetic American and British Jews continue being what they are, what can we do?
25. #20 what is the connection?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.13.13)
According to you logic, the US was the aggressor in the Pacific in WWII because there were only 100,000 dead Americans compared to about 3,000,000 dead Japanese. The fact is that every single Arab-Israeli war and conflict was started by the Arabs. Not one was started by the Jews.
26. Without east jeruselem we dont need a two state
Abdalla   (05.14.13)
27. #24. We must unite patriotic majority to annex Judea/Samaria
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.14.13)
#24. The same destructive leftist cretins behind Oslo, Disengagement, freeing terrorists and every other Israeli disaster have even more vile plans. Though elected by patriots, Bibi is doing the bidding of the left. It is an incredibly dangerous situation. These disgusting people will allow "Palestinian" poseurs to destroy Israel unless we stop them. There has never been a more urgent need for the vast righteous patriotic Israeli majority to unite to end the evil "peace talks with Palestinians" and annex Judea and Samaria.
28. #1 Lynx
Vlad   (05.14.13)
The UN resolution declaring the corpus separatum was legally non-binding. The San Remo Memorandum of 1922, however, was. And under that document, Israel has legal title to Jerusalem.
29. #25 important difference
Alan   (05.14.13)
The Japanese are not Arabs and the US are not Jews.
30. For once Bibi is right.........
