Not that we ever hear of Arab and Palestinian acceptance of a Jewish majority Israel, all we had was Arabs trying to prevent Jews to come to Israel in the first place and now the West Bank. We'll know the Arabs and Palestinians want peace and not just to get rid of Jews when they BOTH openly accept that peace leads to acceptance of a Jewish majority Israel.

The Gibor Israel, have every right to build on the homeland of the jewish people, Judea and Samaria. We know who side this writer is on.

When the world comes against Jerusalem Israel (and this is what is happening right now) G-d will take up our battle and will heap havoc on all the nations that are against us......Have no fear.

It was no settlement bevor 1967and Israel's existence was also not accepted.The Arab block find always new explanation for not recognitzing of Israel no matter what concessions Israel made."Islamic tolerance": no other religion is accepted not only Jews but also Christians, although both existed in the Middle East many centuries before Islam.

You should remember that YOU and 21 other Arab countries declared war on Israel in 1948 and that "state of war" still exists and has nothing to do with the "occupation". I would suggest that you look at your country's own human rights records and that of your neighbors. Get you own house in order and then you can whine to Kerry and Ashton! Oh, and yes, the "occupations" exits only because the Palestinians, supported and championed by the Arab world, murdered Israels and still do. Maybe you should ask Secretary of State Kerry to show you the photos of the murdered Vogel family. You have probably seen them and you probably gloated over the the sight of dead Jewish children with their throats cut while they slept!

Israel must abandon the really dumb and destructive policy of pretending we are willing to cede our more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland of Judea and Samaria. We need to stop the dumb games and CLAIM Judea and Samaria forever! This tiny land is ours.

Settlements on Non-Israeli lands are ilegal and doing business with setlers on occupied lands is ilegal. Kepish

israel could wipe out the entire area if puhsed to the wall. Israel will offer to not make war in return for arab acknowledgement of the koran people of the book right to the land on west bank and reuben's land on the east bank. If quatar wants to do something about it, go ahead. In the meantime, shut up. i am not livni or olmert, weak cowards afraid of one drop of blood.

The Peel Commission in 1937 & UNSCOP ten years later both said that because the Arabs & Jews could not live to-gether in one country,the only solution was to partition Palestine into two countries. Nothing has changed to alter the logic of those reccomendations. In fact the policy of the Israeli government is to support a two state solution So what is more idiotic? Hamas refusing to accept Israel or the continuing building of more settlements on the West Bank ?

#7. Thousands of international law experts have incontrovertibly proven Israel owns Judea and Samaria. Even the P.A. won't debate the issue, as MK Danny Ayalon has challenged them to. About 1,100 signed a petition to the E.U. alone proving this fact. Capiche?

History. Hebrew kings built Israel. Arabs were occupiers

Nobody can show me where in international law Israel can not build on land the Arabs lost in a war they started. Some of the settlements may not be smart money but they are legal. The EU boycott or whatever it is supposed to be is a joke. How many grants does the EU give to Israel? My guess is about zero. My guess is that Blue and White business will expand wherever Israeli products are made.

If you're going to show off your "facility" with foreign languages, you might want to learn to spell the words first. It's capisce....not kepish. Not only that, but apparently your knowledge of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is as crappy as your spelling.

ISRAEL KEEP BUILDINGG AND DONT TAKE ANY NOTICE OF EUROPE OR ASHTON. JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL FULL STOP END OF STORY. IF EUROPE WANTS TO BOYCOTT ISRAEL BECAUSE OF THE SETTLEMENTS ISSUE, NEVER MIND THERE MANY MORE COUNTRIES BESIDES STINKING EUROPE TO DO BUSINESS WITH AND WOULD LOVE TO DO BUSINESS , AND LEARN ISRAELI TECKNOLOGY. KEEP BUILDING.

Arab villages and towns. And, since the territory at hand is in dispute, why don't we wipe all the villages and towns there, Arabs and Jews alike, and then resolve the conflict. Alternatively, accept the fact that the territory may be used by both Arabs and Jews, living in peace.

Catherine Ashton, the arabs the rest of the world they will all just leave us alone if we just gas people rather than build settlements. e can have peace because we are using gas instead of bricks. We should also get Sarah B to be Israel's ambassador she would tell the rest of the world a few facts about Israel.

The fact that YAH kept his word and blessed the descendants of Ishmael with much land and riches and yet they desire to rob Israel of its inheritance and even its existence will be one of the reasons YAH will bring destruction upon the descendants of Ishmael and their allies through their hateful religion. As for the naïve and ignorant Westerners who believe the falsehood that the so called Palestinians are the indigenous people of the so called West Bank which is Samaria and Judah, even the New Testament called the area Judah (Yahudah). Here are just a few examples in Matthew 2:1, 3:1, 4:25, Luke 1:5, 2:4, 3:1, 5:17, John 3:22, 4:3, 7:3, 11:7, Acts 1:8, 2:9, 8:1, 9:31, Romans 15:31, 2Corinthians 1:16, Galatians 1:22, 1Thesalonians 2:14, ect. No one will keep the Jews away from Jerusalem and Judah because it is their inheritance and YAH promise that He would bring them back and plant them in their land and that they will never again be uprooted. That means that you are not only fighting the Jews, you are also going against The Almighty El Shaddai. Just as YAH promised He would bless Ismael He also made a covenant for Israel (Genesis 17:18-21, 50:24).

Using your yardstick, European settlement on native American lands are equally illegal. So why doesn't the United States lead by example and dismantle all the illegal settlements on native American land? If you won't, don't expect us to do it, either. By the way, it's "capisce." Capisce, moron?

The inability for Arabs to accept Jews except under servitude to Islam is the problem. Were Islam to be sincere and not hateful, they would leave the Land of the Jews voluntarily.

But, instead of "new settlements", that not one has been set up for many years, the Arabs are in the midst of constructing a whole new city, and this on territory that legally has been designated by the international community as part of the "national home of the Jewish people".

If you are right then why no one recognise what you are stating and if you are right why EU is imposing sanctions on all settlers living on occupied Palestinian lands.

You sound like an Italian from Brooklyn and know how to spell an Italian word. If you check Google you'll find my spelling is right.

of thousands of Muslim-Arabs by their fellow Muslim-Arabs is an obstacle to peace. Was I that wrong?

You seem to be very good at making generalizations about people. The problem is...you're wrong. And, anyway, why do you assume that Italians only live in Brooklyn? Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't assume my father was in the mob because I know how to spell "capisce." Maybe you need to get out more.

Actually NYC girl is correct and you are wrong. urbandictionary.com says : "kapish is formally spelled as capisce (pronounced as cah-peesh) which is derived from the italian word capire "to understand" and from latin capere "to grasp or to seize". it is now used in american slang to say "got it" or "understand." common alternative spellings you might encounter are capice, capicé, capiche, capeesh, capisch, capishe and coppish." so there!

The both-of-a-you shud-a apologize to nitwit Harold. Kah-peesh? Meanwhile: Shana tova!

Morons like you always compare a welfare state, Israel, to superpower, the United States. You cannot do what a superpower does.

Even if your spelling is right, your grammar SUCKS, as befits an immigrant from, let's assume, Poland....as does your knowledge of the Middle East, which further supports the theory that you are nothing more than a sewer rat.

the same Qatar who finances Bashar Assad, the same Qatar who promises 100's of 000,000's of UNITED STATES $'s to the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza (but of course, doesn't deliver) , the same cowardly Qatar who, at the last moment, canceled Shachar Pe'ers visa, in order that an Israeli and a Jew would NOT win the Doha Open...Qatar can choke on sand and camel dung..
