1. This is annexation
Dan   (09.01.13)
There is nothing more to annexation than the extension of state law to new territory. Once Israel annexes the West Bank, all its residents have the rights of Israelis – or if they don't, it really is apartheid. Think, Israel.
2. shauvinist country
mical ,   usa   (09.01.13)
Israel turns into extreme shauvinist country. It is going against the the trend of the western world and in sync with the Arab world. Sad to watch for all of us who who had a dream for a country that didn't materialised. Rest in peace. (I dare you to publish that-thanks)
3. Israeli civil laws in the West Bank
(09.01.13)
Then give citizenship to everyone otherwise Israel is apartheid state since Arabs in the West Bank have no right to vote
4. Weinstein Obama Troll
Bill Stein ,   USA   (09.01.13)
Will this agent of Obama ever shut up. No wonder Robert Bork publicly rebuked Weinstein for having more power than elected officials.
5. little people big people
(09.01.13)
The justice ministry spent lot's of money on radio advertising telling simple citizens that they will be jailed for the crime of employing illegal aliens to do domestic work. When it was discovered that Weinstein's wife employed an illegal alien, she got off with no jail time and a miniscule fine. Weinstein said he never noticed that the guy cleaning the house was an illegal. It's good to be big people.

Birdi ,   Israel   (09.01.13)
We, the ones who live in Israel for better or worse, know our country is alive. We will not crumble because your dream did not materialize. This is our country, not yours, so back off. Thank you.
7. Pregnancy and infections
Zechariah   (09.01.13)
In the first months of pregnancy women have to be careful not to be in contact with certain infection circulating in non fresh air offices.Prior vaccination and blood tests to check immunity well before conception assist.The Query is how good is the coverage for Arab women in Judae and Samariah on the West Bank of the Jordan and indeed all women planning conception from the sea to the River.
8. #1 speak for yourself!
Ilan ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.01.13)
are YOU thinking about what you are saying? you are confusing the notion that both sides are claiming the same land as theirs, with the notion that gaza, Israel and the west bank are the same country! All muslims living in Israel proper have ALL rights! there is no apartheid! just as Califoria isn't an aprthied state by not letting, everyone in mexico work or vote in california! Think about what you are saying!
9. #6- my country!
mical ,   usa   (09.01.13)
Israel was my country, maybe even more so then yours! I am not sure what you gave to this country but it will be hard for you to do more then me and my family contributed and still do. People like you ruined what was for all of us and for generations to come!
10. 9.
Birdi ,   Israel   (09.01.13)
''Israel was my country?" The difference here is, Israel is my country & it has been my country all my life. I never gave up my citizenship & ran away like you did. People like me have contributed from the beginning until to this very day. People like me are proud to be Israeli & are proud to live in Israel. People like me have remained to support, fight,study, work, pay taxes, give birth to children & most of all, people like me are loyal to the State of Israel. No amount of donations from you will change the fact that you quit & judge us from abroad. It is people like me who have made this country what it is today. A remarkable young, vibrant country that is going forward in strength.

James ,   Beersheva   (09.01.13)
Birdi speaks for me as well. You go girl.
12. Judea and Samaria are part of Israel. Period.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.02.13)
The time is long overdue to recognize that Judea and Samaria are part of Israel. There must be zero tolerance of ANY discrimination against Judea and Samaria Jews. Those Israelis who oppose the application of Israeli law to Judea and Samaria are cowards and worse.
13. mical 2
john Darren ,   cairns-Austraalia   (09.02.13)
And you in USA? Read birdi properly.
14.  Israelis in Yesha pay taxes
Israeli grandma   (09.02.13)
on their wages to the State of Israel, and are entitled to be covered by Israeli labour law, paid maternity leave etc. This is not the same as annexation of their place of residence, or any kind of imaginary apartheid, which is the current propaganda buzz word. Apartheid folks is an Africaans word, describing an appalling situation which was legal in South Africa years ago, and does not resemble the choice of Arabs and Jews not to mix in some areas.
15. no discrimination you say?
rm ,   Amsterdam NL   (09.02.13)
Fine let's give everybody Jew and Arab living on the Westbank the exact same rights...after all...no discrimination means just that doesn't it
