4. Keep building Israel
Elygoldart ,   USA   (06.10.13)
BUILD BUILD BUILD No Country anywhere will dictate what Israel could or can not do on its own land. Israel does not dictate or tell the EU or any other country what to do or where not to build anywhere. Yehudah & Shomron Is Israel.

7. Internationalism
Zechariah   (06.10.13)
Ideally and international superstructure controlled by the USA and Russia with Twenty Thousand Plus Nuclear Weapons ought be established controlling Local outbreaks of inevitable Conflict and keeping a surveillance on each other pushing and shoving ought to exist.

10. Uri Ariel
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (06.10.13)
should we expect anything different if the Minister of Housing is a rabid and fanatical settler? Worst thing Lapid did was not veto his appointment. He is known to do whatever he wants, ignores all laws and rulings as long as his goal is fulfilled, TRAGEDY THAT WILL LEAD TO THE DESTRUCTION AND DECIMATION OF THE STATE. The ministry has to be taken out of his hands immediately!!!
11. Construction
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (06.10.13)
It is Israel's inherent right to build. If Arabs really want peace they must realize and recognize that Jordan is the key to the solution not stopping constructions which is only an excuse. Israel should annex Area C immediately and Areas A and B can form a confederation with Jordan. They can call it Palestine if they wish. Any other solution will not work unless Arabs improve their culture, attitude, etc... to become acceptable. Who know maybe at some point in the future Israel will form a federation or some kind of special arrangement with Jordanians/Palestinians and the whole area of what is not Israel Judea and Samaria and Jordan will become accecible to both Jewish and them.
12. Did a good job
sean green ,   pasadena usa   (06.10.13)
They have been successful as I find no record of a non-jordanian palestinian state after the english left. All written history suggests arabs moved in after stealing the land from Rome who stole it form Israel who stole it from the canaanites. They even went so far as to have archaeology back them up. Clearly a conspiracy. Rome made a deal with the Philistines who never lived on the west bank, their very name, peleste literally meaning foreigner, suggesting they are european not arab, hence their alliances and pantheon of greek gods.
13. Demand UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.10.13)
Our goal should be a million Jews in Judea and Samaria by 2018 and two million by 2033. This tiny land is ours now and forever. I urge every good Jew, every Israeli patriot and everyone who loves Israel to demand UNLIMITED Judea and Samaria building NOW!
14. **** yeah!
Dagan   (06.10.13)
KEEP BUILDING
15. why only 800 ???????? It's our land!!!!!!
heshy ,   TA   (06.10.13)
we need to build 80,000!! That wil lower the rent market in israe, crazy lefty gov.
16. Do what the arabs did when they stole it.
sean green ,   pasadena usa   (06.10.13)
Build on top of the old cities. Nablus as once called Flavius Neopolis. They didn't even give it an arab name. Same with Golan, still retaining it's hebrew name. If they kick you out claim you lived there for generations, you have already. Not to mention you ancestors.
17. Also, I strongly support the Build
Ezra ,   San Diego   (06.10.13)
Knowing this post is being monitored by the US gov, because I'm in the US, I hereby acknowledge my support for the Jewish Nation in populating the highlands of Israel, also known as Judea and Sumeria. Psalm 145!
18. with no partner for peace Israel is
Barney ,   USA   (06.10.13)
smart to keep on building. This is not something to negotiate. It is their right. Never was a palestine only arabs living in Israel. They are free to live there in accordance with Israeli law or they are free to leave. Find one written document that acknowledges that arabs really want peace with Israel. all you will find is the call for the destruction of Israel. build. build. build.
19. Go Israel!!!!!!!!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (06.10.13)
20. Keep dreaming Steve #5
Rachel ,   US   (06.10.13)
Obama seems to have a lot on his plate at the moment.
21. Instead of buidling new housing for Israelis..
Eugene ,   Israel   (06.10.13)
Bibi and co' are building housing for future Palestinian state. Genius.
22. half the story
(06.10.13)
865 housing starts for Jews. How many housing starts, legal and illegal, for Arabs?
23. keep building!
ricardo ,   argentina   (06.10.13)
24. "Go East, Young Man!"
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (06.10.13)
Manifest Destiny promoted the expansion of American borders "from sea to shining sea" as the early "pioneers" incrementally expanded US territories in the name of this great ideology. Why then, shouldn't this ideology apply to Israel?
25. Israel has a housing shortage. At least we're building
jrebecca ,   modiin   (06.10.13)
somewhere.
26. Nice,
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (06.10.13)
