1. Yellow and weak
Rachel ,   US   (07.20.13)
So basically Netanyahu grabbed his ankles.
2. Patriots must demand UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!!
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.20.13)
Israel must not continue to suffer because of Bibi's cowardice. Bibi is the coward. Most Israelis are not. Now is the time for the vast patriotic Israeli majority to demand UNLIMITED Judea and Samaria building NOW!
3. Never
Adam ,   Israel   (07.20.13)
I will never accept this, and the Israeli people will revolt, no more Netanyahu !!
4. Likud
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (07.20.13)
Whoever still keeps thinking Likud is right wing is a fool! I call everybody to leave Likud NOW. Specially you Mr. Feiglin who keeps dreaming about changing things from the inside!!!
5. What price will Kerry and Obama be forced to pay
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.20.13)
Very bad things are in store for the Americans especially Kerry and Obama. This kind of thing will not go unanswered. When Israel pulled out of Gaza, Katrina happened at the same exact time. This time who knows what HE has in store for them. If I am right, it will most likely be very painful.
6. # 3 Agree Adam
Kobi Martin ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.13)
Totally agree, Adam... No more Bibi... The right will destroy Israel. Let's send Likud, Beitenu, Naftali home and let's bring the good ones... Avoda, Livni, Hadash, Arab List, Lapid... Yala, let's create a real government now...
7. The right decision
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Halt, baby Halt   (07.20.13)
Let's give a credit to Bibi and see how things will go. This is the right decision. How can we negotiate a peace deal while biting the Pal's lands? Good move. Halt, baby, halt.
8. Good news
Muna - Doha   (07.20.13)
You spent months screaming that Israel would never freeze again. You spent months moaning that no conditions would be accepted. And months arguing that 1967 were not a base for discussions. Well, again, like in the Turkish flotillha, you are watching you Government acting in a different way? Israelis have no option. Or concede to Palestinians or face European boycott or the International Criminal Court. Time to be less arrogant.
9. Haven't we seen this movie before?
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (07.20.13)
10. This is not the road to peace
DOV ,   USA   (07.20.13)
The road to peace will only come when the preconditions that have never bared positive results in the past are not made. Israel has the right and the might to set its own destiny. Lets stop repeating our old mistakes.
11. Double Talk Guide to the Israeli Palestinian Conflict
Avi Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.13)
Urged=Pressured Negotiations=Arm-twisting Negotiations Broke Down=Failed (Usually a no-show) Occupied West Bank=Yehudah and Shamron or 'The Territories' Ocuppied East Jerusalem=Gilo, Ramot, Givat Zeev, East Talpiot, Maale Adumim, French Hill, Ramat Eshkol, Pisgat Zeev, Neve Yaacov, The Jewish Quarter of the Old City Final Agreement=The End of Zionism Shuttle Diplomacy=Frequent Flier Mileage, Fatter State Department paycheck American Pressure=Leverage from scandulous dirt collected by NSA PRISM program Council on Foreign Relations=Hill of Evil Council An agreement has been reached=No one actually commited Hardcore prisoners=Terrorists with blood on their hands Our Middle East partners=Corrupt Israeli/Palestinian officials Land for peace=Your land or your life Full normalization with Arab League states=Israeli Embassies in Damascus and Beirut (A NOT Joke!) EU Sanctions against Israel=Neurenberg Laws II Two State Solution=Palestine and Jordan
12. Timing
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.20.13)
The timing of the EU announcement of the boycott was no accident. EU & US playing "bad cop, good cop" with Israel while accepting all of Abbas's pre-conditions to talks. Bibi fell right into the trap screaming "no, no" but accepting all in the end. A shameful day for all of us.
13. Israel's Buckled Before They Even Start
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.20.13)
Why freeze Jewish building in the Land of Israel? Has the Government of Israel forgotten that the entire Land of Israel belongs to the Jews and must remain eternally available for Jewish settlement, development and growth? What is this Government saying by agreeing to the one thing which we must not give up on - free Jewish settlement in Israel?
14. o.k.,
ecr   (07.20.13)
we are doing the same thing we do every time and they do nothing. Maybe Kerry's wife will save us.
15. # 13 THEL LAND OF ISRAEL
jacob Yeka ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.13)
You are completely right Reuven. The land of the Jews are ours. The whole of it. Not only Judea and Samaria, but also the Sinai, South Lebanon, most of Jordan and Syria. Let's get all this once and for all.
16. Jordan Valley needs to be Secured
Zechariah   (07.20.13)
The Jordan Valley will still need to be secured by Israeli USA NATO and Jordanian Troops with Monitoring Devices plus a Defensive AntiBallistic Shield to Protect the Land from the Sea to the River.
17. the only question is
CJK   (07.20.13)

so funny, Israel leaders are so idiots !!! they are saying they will freeze the construction and they at the same time they are saying it wont be official or in public !!!!! are the people idiots ??!!! how they say the constuction will be freezed and at the same time it wont be official or in public ??!!!! is this a joke ??!!!! also Moshe Yaalon is saying the negotiation will be made without preconditions ???!!!! really so what about the freeze and the release of terrorists ???!!!! arent these steps made in order to bring terrorist Abbas to the table ??!!!! even the demand of 1967 lines, Netanyahu made offers before to the palestinians based on 90 percent of the territories, he gave up the defensible borders, he gave up the jordan valley so what difference does it make ??!!!! Israel leaders are idiot even Moshe Yaalon turned to be another disaster !!! Israel agreed to all the PA demands just to bring terrorist Abbas who refusing to recognize Israel as a jewish state and still incite against her and delegitimize her in the international arena, Abbas who cant take any decision because he doesnt control Gaza or represents its population, Abbas who is losing the control to Hamas in the west bank and is just taking a hardline approach towards Israel to rise his popularity ??!!! shame on Israel leaders, shame, instead of standing up for the country , instead of building thousands of units as a response to the EU sanctions, Netanyahu is giving into terrorism, i dont know where is the national camp ??!!! where is Bennett and Ariel ?? they were so tough to bring Lapid into the government so they can advance their draft and civil agenda but when it comes to settlements and security, they turned to be another politicians !!!! where is Moshe Feiglin who for years was fighting for a knesset seat and now after he got what he wants , he is totally silent !!!! all what he cares about praying on the temple mount ??!!!! i am sorry to say but it is the death of the national camp, Shalom
27. If its true
