despite lower municipal tax payment.
3. Security Reasons Paramount
Zechariah   (09.09.14)
In the long term the Jews have calculated that settlements particularly along the Jordan Valley are Vital for the Jews Security Post Shoah .
4. Interesting Report
(09.09.14)
Let's see, prepared by the "Adva Center", wholly funded by New Israel Fund, that is to say, British Foreign Office, Norwegian Government and George Soros. What a surprise that they reached this conclusion.

daylight between us and the Islamic beasts roaming around...Not so hard to understand, is it?!
6. Without "Settlements" no Security
Settlements=Security ,   Jerusalem Israel   (09.09.14)
Without building and beefing up strong Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria there will be no "other" Israeli communities and you will have ISIS on your doorsteps in Rannana Wake up out there !!
7. bloodsuckers
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.09.14)
The settlements are not only leeches sucking the blood out of the body of Israel's financial well-being, but they are also a danger to Israel's very existence. They provide no security, but rather only security expenditures, as well as being a diplomatic disease on the world scene
8. Right michael! And using that same blood to bake their matza
Bandoo ,   Yehudah   (09.09.14)
9. Demand UNLIMITED Judea/Samaria building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.09.14)
Judea and Samaria are the eternal ancestral heartland of the Jewish people. If you love Israel; demand UNLIMITED Judea and Samaria building! Israel owes our genocidal mortal "Palestinian" foes nothing but a permanent one way ticket out of our land.
10. Do the Arabs pay as much in taxes?
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.09.14)
Do they pay ANY taxes? Or maybe Israel doesn't want to irritate them by asking for money to improve their lives? Tax revenue is used to pay for all types of infrastructure. But if the Arabs don't pay their fair share, they can't expect Israel to make up the entire difference. If the Arab towns DO pay their fair and complete share, then Israel IS deficient in their responsibilities. So the question is: Do Arabs pay what they really owe? If yes, fix their complaints. If no, then then they have nothing to complain about. You get what you pay for, plain and simple.
11. GOOD for Israel GOOD for the Settlers!
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.09.14)
Bad for the illegal pals in Israel. When will they move back to where they came from? KEEP BUILDING!!! BUILDING IS WINNING AND SAVES JEWS LIVES!!!!
12. # 7 Michael so move! Jordan calls.
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (09.09.14)
After you leave 10 more people will want to rent your flat. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
13. #7, the blood of many thousands of maimed and dead Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.09.14)
You crazy Leftists have the blood of thousands upon thousands of maimed and dead Jews on your conscience for the last 20 years.
14. Israel benefits from strong WestBank
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.09.14)
15. Israelis in non-haredi settlements serve i the IDF
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (09.09.14)
Logically, those that devote 3 years of their life to protect the state are going to receive more from the state in return.
16. Equal funding is a right
Moshe ,   Israel   (09.09.14)
And there should not be granted rights without fulfillment of civil duties. Thus, the ultra-orthodox leeches don't deserve any allocation of money, and the Arabs relatively to their low tax payments. The settlers of West Bank, by contrast, are the pioneers of our era, building and securing Israel.
