1. Demand UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.01.13)
Judea and Samaria are the more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland of the Jewish people. Jews lived in Judea and Samaria thousands of years before Tel Aviv was established. It is way past time to stop playing games. This tiny land is ours now and forever. Let every good Jew, patriotic Israeli and friend of Israel unite and demand UNLIMITED Jewish building throughout Judea and Samaria NOW!
2. This government is disgusting
(09.01.13)
People were on the street in 2011 because there's a shortage of buildings and place where to live in Israel which induces high prices and the answer of this government is too build for a bunch of crazy zealots who hold the country and its people by the skin of the neck. That is just despicable!!! Bibi you have no shame!
3. #2. Massive Judea/Samaria building drives down house prices.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.01.13)
Massive Jewish building in Judea and Samaria is the right thing to do in every respect. It helps alleviate the housing crisis by driving down housing prices throughout Israel through competitive market pressures.
4. Chaim, lowering prices
(09.01.13)
Will Arabs and other non Jews be able to enjoy cheap buildings in the West Bank too?
5. Time to Use This as an International Asset
Bill ,   New York, USA   (09.02.13)
There are still a lot of people in the US construction industry out of work, possibly EU countries as well. Why not invite qualified guest workers from those countries? That also makes it a lot harder to complain when Israel is solving other countries' unemployment problems.
6. no 4

Only when Hamoodi Abbassi and the Arabs will allow Jews lo live with them and JEWS can buy lands and houses freely without harasments, otherwise no Arabs can live with Jews. Arabs cannot have the cake and eat it.
7. Beersheba and North Negev

becoming the Commercial Industrial and Cultural and even Tourist Centre of Gravity of Israel (Sorry TA) Once Water Supplies are assured and Connectivity improved then as sure as eggs are eggs - with so much more space for expansion Industry, Commerce, Academia will follow That's why we want to see the completion of the Trans NS Israel Freight and Passenger Railway via Beersheba completed PLUS the BIA Bersheeba International Airport and the Beersheba Orbital Motorway PS: Where is Mekorots announcement for the NEXT Generation RO Desalination Plant? Surely the aim was NOT Water Sufficiency but to develop the Water SURPLUS for supply to neighbouring countries? Please Mekorot comment?

propriate laws. In any case: build, build, build. Arabs will have to solve their problems somewhere else.
9. Build
michael Pielet ,   israel   (09.02.13)
#4, massive building for Jews. Arabs and leftists to be repatriated to their lands of origin. Massive building for arabs in Kirkuk. Massive building for leftists in New York, Los Angeles.
10. #9 what about Leftist Jews?
(09.02.13)
Which category do they fall under?
11. Don't forget turn off light if you're the last to leave!
Benny   (09.12.13)
Because of the rampage of housing prices in Israel, I have a tip to every normal Israeli citizen: pack your bags, say goodbye to the sucker friends who will remain in Israel, and if you are the last to leave the country - do not forget to turn off the light!
