31. We the people of Israel
Chaim ,   Arad   (10.31.13)
demand the ceasing of building and immediate evacuation of Washington D.C. You are on occupied land and we demand the borders be set back to what they were in 1492. Seriously, Obama, mind your own business.
32. Gregg Bowman opposes building in New York!!
gregg bowman ,   parksville, Canada   (10.31.13)
Well, I oppose building in New York!! How dare you tell Israel where they can and cannot build!!! Idiots!! warm regards, Gregg Bowman
33. AMAZING
Robert ,   Israel   (10.31.13)
It's amazing how the US orders us what we have to do with Palestinian prisoners, purging life terms in prison, after killing our beloved ones. And we are not even able to "order" them to free Jonathan Pollard who killed nobody and has been jailed in the US prisons for much longer time than those human scum with blood in their hands that should have been kept rotting in Israeli prisons for the rest of their miserable lives, The US orders us to stop building in lands we consider we have the right to do so, but they keep using their American Guantanamo base inside Cuban land where they keep prisoners indefinitely , also with blood in their hands (or not), and the world keeps mum about it. And this does not mean that I sympathize with the Cuban regime, nor that I would like to see those prisoners free to commit new atrocities. This shows the difference between being a giant and being a rice grain in this troubled world.
34. @22 I was think US military action against Israel.
Ken ,   Burma at Peace   (10.31.13)
35. #30-Oslo quota was filled long time ago
Israeli   (10.31.13)
Oslo accords talk about releasing 5000 prisoners, while Israel released more than 9200 so far. You read to much false propaganda sites.
36. Really?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.31.13)
"We do not consider continued settlement activity or east Jerusalem construction to be steps that create a positive environment for the negotiations." Ask me if I care what the United States thinks. I happen to be greatly opposed to the eviction of people in the low-rent areas of Anacostia in order to build up the Washington D.C. skyline. Those people are now homeless. That, I do care about. If the United States administration has issues with building, it can look considerably closer to home.
37. To: No. 34
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.31.13)
Oh, is THAT what you were thinking? Do you remember what happened to the full faith and credit of the United States Armed Forces in Somalia? When a handful of barefoot warlords carrying vintage World War I Garand rifles and one or two rusty RPG launchers kicked the United States in its hindquarters? Israel is not Somalia. Do keep that in mind, ace. Besides -- truth be told -- you'd have a fair bit of trouble getting American servicemen and women to go up against Israel. Unlike you, Americans are very supportive of Israel and greatly respect its military. For good reason. Now please crawl back under your rock in Rangoon or Mandalay or wherever and stop embarrassing yourself.
38. The headline misses important word "Jewish building..."
Miron ,   USA   (10.31.13)
39. Obama on way out; Kerry is the danger
norbus ,   jerusalem   (10.31.13)
Morally bankrupt, Adept to disrupt, Obama is on the way out. Kerry Still eyes the White House . By end of the time allocated for the show talks, we will have a better Idea on Iran. No never again.
40. Israel acting to Kerry's proposal
Israel   (10.31.13)
If Kerry suggested that Israel would not freeze building but instead release terrorists then the US should stick to the deal and shut up
41. #37 Sarah B
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (10.31.13)
BHO won't the dirty work himself. He will only give sensitive Information to Iran.
42. The U.S. has no problem with massive Arab building
Zev ,   Israel   (10.31.13)
even though it changes facts on the ground during negotiations. Only Jews can not buid.
43. Bilding
Chawa ,   Jerushalaim   (10.31.13)
1 there are no Palestinians, all are Arabs, it is wrong to use that name. 2 For the Arabs there is no Israel, on the map, according to them our whole country belongs to the Arabs. 3 But we know better, bild bild bild in OUR JEWISH COUNTRY!!
44. To: Albrecht at No. 41
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.31.13)
Good thing we're listening, then, isn't it? Obama needs to be very wary of Israel. Israel is sitting on proof positive that he is ineligible to be the president of the United States by reason of birth. If we have to, we'll drag it out. Then he'll be disgraced and impeached. Obama does not like Israel. In point of fact, he'd like nothing better than to engineer the destruction of the State of Israel. Which is why Israel is holding all that supremely damaging evidence over his head. Israel will tolerate some blather on his part, but Israel OWNS Obama. And he knows it. When he ceases to be a useful idiot, his flagrant flouting of United States law and his lying will be outed. Make no mistake.
45. Nr. 23
Cauvery ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (10.31.13)
Freeing murderers and jail people who build houses. Good luck America !
46. construction does not 'create positive environment for negot
norbus ,   jerusalem   (10.31.13)
Thanks USA Now we know what to do to nix a bloody Chirade with Mazen and Kerry Only concern for me, is that Obama, Kerry, USA are well aware where we are on security; If they want that as an excuse to realise Obama's boast to destroy Israel then the G-D of Israel will have to do some work.
47. Hussien vs The Land of Israel
Brod ,   USA   (10.31.13)
It is Hussien the Islamist and not the U.S. Hussien has a personal agenda crusading against the Land of Israel. The fact is Judea and Samaria-the Land of Israel-Israel's Liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland belongs to Israel since ancient time-4000 years ago. Israel has all the rights to build in the Land of Israel. Hussien has no right usurping the Land of Israel for the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers. Israel can tell him to stop playing king of Israel. Israel is a sovereign country. It can build anywhere in the Land of Israel.
48. AMAZING
Max ,   washington dc   (10.31.13)
Agree with #33 but would add that Bibi is a very Weak Leader in charge of a very Brave Israeli People. By releasing over 100 MURDERERS he has stained the HONOR of all Jewish People.
49. Based on the level the US adminstration
Gideon Reader   (10.31.13)
has been brought to by the fecklessness of the U.S. P-resident, very little consideration need be paid to what the U.S.likes or does not like. The bumbling foolishness of Obama and his hand picked jester Kerry is the subject of mockery and not to be taken seriously.
50. #44 Israel "OWNS" Obama??
On the Balcony   (11.01.13)
You have no sense... no shame... no sanity. I shudder to think of what you will do when the President of Palestine and Prime Minister of Israel sit down together wit Obama and Kerry to formally conclude the negotiations in the not distant future.
51. U.S. GOVERNMENT, IN THAT CASE, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR BIG MULTIVERSE   (11.18.13)
