1. Israel should be going full-steam ahead in area E-1
TaylorT ,   TrailerTrash   (11.12.13)
2. Temple Mount
BigRayJones ,   South Detroit   (11.12.13)
But, refusing to allow Jews the right to pray in specified areas on the Temple Mount is reasonable, fair, and creates just the perfect atmosphere for peace and respect amongst the parties.
3. Dear Presidet Obama
Bill Stein ,   USA   (11.12.13)
And Secretary of State Kerry go stuff yourself where the sun don't shine Sincerely
4. ATT ALL JEWS IN ISRAEL
...DACON9   (11.12.13)
You may no longer get married You may no longer have children You may no longer improve your present home You may no longer build a future You may no longer prosper You may no longer look for tomorrow JEWISH GROWTH WILL NOT BE PERMITTED ANYMORE, YOU MUST STAY AS YOU ARE... until you die off. signed, pres obama john kerry joe bieden Israel representative, tzipi livni
5. Terrorism wouldn't concern the US government
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.12.13)
So if we started acting like Arabs and shooting them on sight - that would not affect the 'peace process'. Guess we know what to do then
6. Has anyone else noticed how the obumbler in chief of the U.S
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (11.12.13)
Is always weak and wishie-washie about anything else he preaches about, except when it come to bashing and scolding Israel! To bad this fool can't be tough on the U.S.'s enemies!
7. Our Land: We Build
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.12.13)
And with the Jewish population in Judea and Samaria growing at a 5% annual rate- times as fast as Israel as a whole, supply isn't keeping up with demand.
8. It's enough Obama tells Americans what they can and can't do
Zev ,   Israel   (11.12.13)
9. Build
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (11.12.13)
First off the Jews should ALWAYS build in Jerusalem (whether it's east, west, north or south) and seek to push out as many Arabs as possible. Make it harder for them to settle in Jerusalem, but easy as pie for them to move out. I say continue to build in Judea and Samaria specifically around the "green line" and Jerusalem outskirts until a peace agreement is made. Until then continue to built on as much land as possible!
10. For biblical,housing or defense reasons Israel builds
Sam ,   Canada   (11.12.13)
Israel does what is in its national interest just as the US and others do in their national interest. The talks are going nowhere and leave no incentive to stop building. If there is a demand for housing Israel should step it up. if Palestinians want peace they will let everybody know. As is, they prefer building to peace.
11. US diplomacy at its best -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.12.13)
a realease of Murderers !. When will this Idiocy stop ? Arn.Sweden.
12. UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   OUR BIG MULTIVERSE   (11.12.13)
US-GOVERNMENT, MIND YOUR OWN AMERICAN BUSINESS. ISRAEL, KEEP BUILDING, WITHIN YOUR OWN TERRITORY, IF WANTED AND NEEDED.
13.  The Antics...by BOTH sides are JUST as bad
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.12.13)
PA threatens Boycotts Netanyahu announcing more Settlements PA threatens UN Censure Netanyahu announcing more Settlements PA threatens Intifada Netanyahu announcing more Settlements So round and round and round we go hop skip and jump ....ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE The solution An agreement to frame the CONDUCT of the Negotiations A stop to Netanyahus Settlement announcements in exchange for a stop to Abbas threats And then the negotiators can get back to work
14. to Kerry and Obama
Larry ,   LA   (11.12.13)
please instead of sticking your noses in our business learn first what is really going on. Your speeches sound great except they are devoid of reality. In your world reality doesn't matter as long as you are on the top, but in our world we live in reality and need to continue to grow and breath. Lots of luck.
15. Obama is losing Egypt
CJK   (11.12.13)
obama is losing the sunni states and gaining the arab palestinian terrorists. obama thinks that he can appease shia iran, at the expense of the sunni world. he forgets that the sunnis make up the vast majority of islam. egypt is the most important muslim country in the world.
16. Jewish housing bad?
Shoshana Rubin ,   Nokum   (11.12.13)
According to Obama, Jewish housing is bad and plo terror is good. We Jews did not steal anyone's L-nd. That is leftwing racist propaganda. Keep building!
17. Beter it's done now than after 50 more terrorists are freed
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (11.12.13)
Everyone knows the peace talks are doomed to failure, not because of settlements but because Abbas has to refused to compromise on return of so-called "refugees" issue which would spell the end of Israel. Obama has made the US a partner to the palestinians & the US can no longer be an honest, impartial. There is no hope for any accord so long as Obama continues to go along with everything the Arabs say. So it's better the building continues sans paying the price of releasing more murderers.
18. Build, baby, build...
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (11.12.13)
There couldn't be a better "positive environment" for Peace, then bulding peaceful homes and infrastructure...Besides: where are those"partners", We are supposed to negotiate with ? We are ready and willing...We calling & waiting for them to negotiate with the Jewish State...but if we would just sit and wait, We would still be living under the British Mandate...
19. BHO is funny
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (11.12.13)
20. Maybe Obama should care about Iran ?
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.12.13)
Hmmm...
21. How would one say in Arabic: "We blew it...again"
A ,   Belgium   (11.12.13)
Abbas awakens to a new day and a new reality: he is president of a non existent state, dedicated to terror and death and with nothing positive to offer to the world. His state will continue to remain fictitious, because all he has to offer to his "people" (and the world) is the lie that it is ALWAYS the Israelis who are at fault. Good morning, Mr. Abbas and "palestine", may you have yet another miserable day!
22. Blackmail ...Cut off aid...Give it a try !
Roland ,   London England   (11.12.13)
23. Whine, whine, whine...and cheese.
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (11.12.13)
Yeah, so the peace talks are gonna be off because of the building. Big deal! The peace talks never got anywhere anyway. Go ahead and build, including in E-1. Hey, all the Diaspora Jews who are about to get kicked out of the countries they're in will need some place to live, right?
24. 6 yes, we have all noticed that
CJK   (11.12.13)
25. Israel's right to build in Area C is guaranteed in Oslo Accd
Bill ,   Los Angeles, USA   (11.12.13)
Also, Arafat never cut-off negotiations over settlement building. In any final agreement most of Area C, which has less than 60,000 Arabs, will go to Israel.
26. Bibi u-turn on E1
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (11.12.13)
Disgusting. E1 was meant to be built up in return for the Arabs unilaterally moaning to the UN and having their landless "state" created. Bibi out, Bennett in!
27. What peace talks?
Donald B. Nemer ESQ ,   Henderson, Nevada   (11.12.13)
The sad fact is that by looking at the Phalastinians initial demands, they do not intend peace but rather victory, therefore continued settlements in this ongoing conflict are a proper means of warfare. We may readdress the issue later if it can be shown that the Palestinian leadership truthfully wants to live in peaceful coexistence with it's JEWISH cousins and neighbors..
28. Proof positive!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.13.13)
The ersatz "Palestinians" were never serious about negotiations -- they want to supplant the State of Israel; not co-exist peacefully with the State of Israel, which could do so much for them. The ersatz "Palestinians" would rather cling to their implausible fantasies and invented history than face reality. So, I think the State of Israel has tried hard enough, and made enough concessions -- without receiving any in return from Abbas & Co. -- and it is time for the ersatz "Palestinians" to fold up their tents and leave. In fact, Israel should help them. Annex Judea and Samaria -- and then Abbas can stamp his little foot and have his temper tantrum far, far away from Eretz Israel. I cannot imagine who would be so foolish as to take them in (ask the Jordanians, the Lebanese, the Tunisians, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the Omanis and several other nations who have unceremoniously booted them out). Of course, Jordan doesn't really have a choice, what with the ersatz "Palestinians" holding Jordanian citizenship. But that would not be the State of Israel's problem, any more than it was Poland's or Czechoslovakia's problem about what would happen to the nearly three million ethnic Germans who were unceremoniously booted out following World War II, or then-Yugoslavia's problem about what would happen to the one million ethnic Italians who were booted out of Italy. The State of Israel need care about as much as the community of nations cared about the fate of one million Jews who were stripped of their property, possessions, businesses and bank accounts and expelled from their homes in Arab and Moslem lands. What goes around .... comes around.
29. stop settlements?
andyprigge ,   ORANGEVILLE   (11.13.13)
If you are continually going to stop building then whats the point of returning to Israel? Israel you may as well then pack up all your bags and leave and let the pali's have the whole land. I'm tired of this crap. Your calendar is wrong Israel its closer to yr 6000 not 57-- or 58-- something!
30. Abu Mazen & Kerry are FINISHED !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.13.13)
Israels enemies will LOSE !
