Make it permanent.

IMO this is not the right response. It will cause further hatred and resentment. It is a case of group punishment. We need to increase our own security again. ~ A return to the regular checking of bags at the entry to any public place. ~ More gun permits for private citizens. ~ Required training the use of private weapons, and ~ An alert public will do more to stop terrorists without increasing the problem.

you can be sure every media source, and foreign nation ( especially the anti semitic European's ) obama and his muslims would be screeching like banshees demanding 'justice' for the pals, notice no out cry from muslim obama or his cabinet? Pretty much says it all. The silence is deafening. There will come a day when Jews will have had more than enough and where the sight of any pal will trigger the reversal of the pals being assassinated, blown to bits by a Jewish frustrated 'had it up to here' attitude that gets people killed. Beware pals your day of reckoning is coming and soon.

rabin and peres offered arafat a basic country. they chose terror cause they want pre 67 israel. huldai ignores this point and opines that giving up terrtories will bring peace. this is another herzog talking. but he says he is a general so he knows. guess what-generals for the msot part are lousy national leaders-barak, yadlin and baidetz especially who advocated giving up the golan. no, the arabs were basically offered a confederal state- and they don't want it. they want to reverse 48. it may be time for israel to throw out oslo and remove once and for all the cancer of fatah and hamas.

You have 4 million innocent Palestinians in open air prisons, and you wonder why they hate you... and why most of the World despises you. Don't be so stupid. You are making also your own life miserable. Take peace process into your own hands and do something. Or if you like terror and boycotts and wish that someone forces the solution to you...just hang onto status quo.

#6 Harri. You are wrong on all counts, like usual. First of all, Israel's economy is one of the fastest growing in the Western World. Israel is enjoying growing trade, cultural connections around the world. Israel has many foes, but Israel also has many friends. Your pathetic threats don't scare us, Harri. Israel will do what is best for us. We have faced every conceivable threat before and we are victorious and always will be! You had better start worrying about your E.U. Most E.U. nations are essentially bankrupt and the E.U. grows less safe every day.

for non-jews.

islamic countries, and luckily, in most cases, it involves moslems killing each other. Unfortunately, in this case Jews were killed. There is no remedy or vaccination for this illness called islam that infects the world, only complete eradication. "Palestinians" are no different from Syrian, Somalian, Iraqi, etc. carriers of the islamic disease.

it must be recognised openly and unequivocally that the arab palestinians are enemies of israel. enemies of the state should be treated as such. they should not be given privileges, especially the privilege of entering israel and visiting the terror mosque sitting on top of the ruins of the two jewish temples.

lieberman haters in israe: your hatred will fall on your heads like manna from heaven.

wrong!!!! THE ONLY DEMOCRACY THAT REQUIRES PALESTINIANS ARABS TO HAVE A PERMIT TO VISIT FAMILY. NOT ALL NON JEWS.... JUST THE WEST BANK ARABS. PERIOD. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. hameed aboughaze

Since the terrorists have called on the Arabs to use Ramadan as a time to attack innocent Israelis, and since it is possible that more attacks may take place, it makes prudent sense to revoke the goodwill permits to those who might take advantage of our leniency.
