1. So we cannot both blow and hold it in...?! There should be
(03.25.15)
limits to lies told before elections and how fast one abandons these!
2. Bibi False Renewable Resource/On-Off Spigot
Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (03.25.15)
Bibi's decades long lying 4successful short term political benefits has become stale cuz his repeated actions have clearly revealed his Emperor's Clothes. His deceitful behaviours are no longer effective, hence he has critically wounded our Israel & Jewish people. Our path forward is very, very bleak ... Yes settlements, no settlements. Yes Palestinian State, no Palestinian State. Yes non-Jews, No non-Jews. Yes USA/Europe, no USA/Europe. Time has run out on Bibi's arrogant bullying & lying as revealed by his actions & "friends". Freeze settlements, releasing Palestinian taxe$, allowing a bit more Palestinian imports-exports/movement/development, etc+++, only gives back what Israel already has taken, not concessions. Israel releases her headlock, but bloodied face & broken bones remain. The UNSC with our USA, UK, France, Germany, Russia & China will lift sanctions on Iran & support Palestinian State. Plus, many will sanction now truly revealed Apartheid Israel, except our dysfunctional USA, causing great Israel economic & much more pain. You reap what you sow, eh? Idiots ...
3. C'mn Bennett. Demand UNLIMITED Jewish building NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.25.15)
Israel elected Bibi because the alternative, Herzog and Livni, was too horrible to imagine. However, Bibi is far from ideal. Once again, he betrays everyone who loves Israel with a despicable building freeze. C'mon Bennettt and patriots, demand UNLIMITED Jewish building in all of Judea and Samaria NOW! THIS TINY LAND IS OURS!
4. Stupid move
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.25.15)
Prime Minister Netanyahu is snubbing the people who gave him 30 mandates. Build the homes; it is, after all, private land. There will never be a "palestinian" state in the West Bank, and Jerusalem will never be divided. The Islamist petulant child in the White House will be gone in 18 months, if not sooner. The Prime Minister works for the Israeli people, not the American "president." The Israeli people want these homes built. The Jews that will start flowing to Israel in rivers want these homes. Why is Prime Minister Netanyahu caving in to a tantrum-throwing child illegally occupying the White House? Not a wise move. Netanyahu answers to the Israeli voters, not to the American "president." And he very definitely does not answer to terrorist "palestinians" just because they threaten mayhem. When they threaten violence and more terror, what we need to do is send in the tanks. Prime Minister Netanyahu is making a huge mistake.
5. East Jerusalem "Settlement"?!?
Ozraeli ,   Australia   (03.25.15)
How far we have fallen... A Jerusalem neighborhood is called a "settlement", & it is not even an article written by Reuters or AAP, but by Israelis. Bibi gets a huge vote of confidence In Israel - & immediately bends over & spreads for Kerry & Obama...
6. What amazing timing
Oren   (03.25.15)
Looks like all those Likud voters have been lead down the garden path
7. Bibi seems no better than extreme radical leftist Herzog.

8. zio-euro-trash have already stolen the land.
Just a matter of tim   (03.25.15)
9. "Freeze", "on hold" interpretation
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.25.15)
'as soon as obamas out of office, we can 'pull an Arafat' and stall, stall, and stall some more... Is obamas mentally fit to be in office? He's offended everyone from the American people, our allies, the Supreme court, Congress, the Senate, etc. etc. did I forget any one else? Don't worry, he's offended them too. Obama must learn not to think he can run and ruin Israel as he has with America, may G-d help her. IGNORE obama he isn't an Israeli citizen nor is he Israel's PM or the Israeli public, all rolled into one. He is in fact, the worst US President ever. KEEP BUILDING ALLTHE MORE WHEN HE'S GONE.!!
10. When obamas gone so will the freeze.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.25.15)
And then. BUILD UP ALL OF ISRAEL !!!
11. Freeze Arab construction too then

12. The crown has been returned to King Bibi the Weak
A ,   Belgium   (03.25.15)
but his cowardice and indecisiveness remain unchanged. Isn't Har Homa part of Jerusalem, undivided Jerusalem, the capital of the state of Israel?
13. No need freezing
Brod ,   USA   (03.25.15)
Fear Not. There is no need to freeze even if the dark forces gang up on Israel. The fact is the Land of Israel is God-given and GOD-restored to the Children of Israel. No human entity can defy that.
14. Bibi caved in to the arrogant simp in the White House
dante   (03.25.15)
15. To nr. 10.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (03.25.15)
Yes, of course. ISRAEL IS/= MIDDLE EAST. MIDDLE EAST =/IS ISRAEL!
16. Wow! It's pucker up time....
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (03.25.15)
The American hating Bibi broke his promise as expected. He lied to get the votes and soon as he got into office he stopped building. He should keep on building because we don't care. He thinks he is appeasing the white house, however soon the white house will give him the mother of all paybacks and form a UN resolution that will stun BIbi. It is just a matter of time. He thinks he can wiggle his way through congress to bypass our POTUS, he is so wrong. The spying back stabbing leach of a leader needs to kiss more butt than this. Pucker up Mr. PM pucker up.
17. #12 You're right, but he was still the better choice.
Ralph   (03.25.15)
18. Bibi is trying to save Obama's face
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.25.15)
