1. Well, in that case ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.31.15)
... I strongly urge all Jewish residents of the capital city of the State of Israel to build illegal additions to their homes, and have them retroactively approved. Just like with the illegal Arab occupiers. If these invaders can get away with it, we can, too. Vox populi. The voice of the people. Raise it. If a bunch of Jordanian citizens can have their illegal constructions approved, well then certainly the legitimate Jewish residents of Jerusalem -- citizens of Israel -- can. If not -- we'll storm the ramparts until the laws change. The very thought that an Arab citizen of Jordan has greater rights in Jerusalem than a Jewish citizen is nauseating, to say the least. Time to raise our voices.
2. To No. 1.
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (03.31.15)
The image of you crossing the Atlantic, in full medieval warrior gear to 'storm the ramparts' and rally the Jewish residents of Jerusalem to build illegal additions to their homes, is quite entertatining. More seriously, you don't seem to be getting very far in trying to convince everyone that the Arab inhabitants of East Jerusalem are Jordanian citizens.You might think that the Jordanian government would have something to say on this. In fact they did - in 1988 - when Jordan renounced its sovereignty over the West Bank (including E Jerusalem) and its people. Ah well keep on trucking.
3. The arabs can build but not Jews?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (03.31.15)
What the hell? Is obama dictating building permits to Israel now? Arabs in Arabia Jews in Israel and ALL of Jerusalem not a portion ALL. KEEP BUILDING JEWISH ISRAEL !!!
4. They are already building what a joke!
SayGoodbyeToJerusalm ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.31.15)
What a joke as if the Arabs of the eastern part of Jerusalem are waiting for an Israeli "nod" they are building by the thousands just come to the poor nightmarish Jewish neighborhood of Armon Hanaziv and take a look as the Jews are fenced in and swamped by their Palestinian "neighbors" soon the Dead Sea Road will have huge Beduoin cties all along it because of a history of ineffectual "Jewish leaders" afraid of their shadow who will create one more Jewish ghetto in our history and one more historical Jewish tragedy .
5. Jews should see the danger and leave
EndOftheDream ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.31.15)
The dream of a Jewish homeland is over that should be clear and anyone with an ounce of brain should start packing and look elsewhere for Jewish survival rotten leaders from Ben Gurion on to the present have caused this situation Ben Gurion it has now been revealed could have but refused to capture the Old City in 1948 Moshe Dayan forced the Arabs who fled in 1967 to return ( they fled out of fear of retribution for their terrorist activities together the brainwashing Oslo brought tens of thousands from Tunisia here and the Israeli totally leftist controlled media produced an indifferent Jewish population and a fiercely nationalist Arab one not to mention when we Jews had the chance in the 1920-1939 to come we didn't so who is to fault for all this ,,we are so best to follow the old Jewish addadge " When times get tough the Jews start packing " no Jewish future here we will be overwhelmed with Arabs not only in Jerusalem l
6. Treating non-Jews fairly is consistent with Judaism
Sami ,   Tel Aviv   (03.31.15)
The Torah teaches that "don't oppress strangers living in your midst, for you were oppressed in the land of Egypt." Rabbi Hillel taught "don't do unto others what you wouldn't want others to do unto you." Hence, right-wing fascism has more to do with Hitler than with Moses. Remember, God gave us The Torah, not Ha-Tanya or Shulhanb Aruch.
7. 1 LOL

8. Claim it!
(03.31.15)
Claim that apartment buildings not for arabs but citizens of Israel and Jerusalem. Don't shy away from living in any part of Jerusalem. Me too.
9. Building bridges
Eitan ,   UK   (03.31.15)
I am not quite sure what the right-wing objection is. The Torah sources I have seen suggest that this is the right thing for a Jewish government to do. That is to support all non-Jewish residents of Israel, since they are not polytheists.
10. This plan will not be able to go through
Dan   (03.31.15)
if the same amount for Jews was just refused.
11. #5. U.S. V.P. Biden admits ONLY Israel will protect Jews!
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.31.15)
The answer to stupidity is not suicide. True it is stupid and self destructive to encourage Arab building in Jerusalem. However, urging Jews to leave Israel is total insanity. Even American V.P. Joe Biden admitted that, when push comes to shove, ONLY Israel will protect Jews. America will not. The answer is to reverse these idiotic decisions. Not to leave our sole tiny Homeland!
12. It's not racist if it's for Arabs only.
(03.31.15)
13. Just let treat G-d of Israel also fairly!
(03.31.15)
By building His temple so that when He comes there's house for Him.
14. Only The Jews have to control security and Immigration-Jabok
Zechariah   (04.01.15)
Jabotinsky often but not always a Genius was for and Internationalistic Humanitarian State but with the Jews Solidly controlling Security and Immigration being a minority in the area.
15. several recent high profile terrorists..
shnitzlman ,   usa   (04.01.15)
Several recent high profile terrorists came from Jabel Mukaber. That area should have been demolished.
16. # 11 Chaim Poor old Joe
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (04.01.15)
His best line was 'What will cure America is a three letter word J O B S.' Only one more stupid is obama for making him his VP. Between the two of them you have only half a brain. KEEP BUILDING JEWISH ISRAEL !!
17. # 10 From your lips....
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (04.01.15)
Should be building more affordable Jewish homes. The pals can return home now and, home isn't Israel.
18. # 13 "Let G-d"? Who's gonna stop him?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (04.02.15)
G-d does not seek council from mere mortals. It is we who must seek his favor and laws.
19. # 6 Sami and G-d gave Israel to the Jews !
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (04.02.15)
Do unto others began long before a Rabbi.
