Benjamin netaniyau is right. The last government had already agreed,under american pressure,to giveup the entire judea and samaria areas,just like Barak had agree to in 2000,in the second camp-david metting. But the Arabs are insisting that the capital of their state would be Jerusalem,that they will control the holly araes,including the western wall,and the return of all the 1948 refugees and their ofsprings to Israel. It is clear that no israeli government and no Israeli or Jew can agree to that since its un fair for the Jews,that were lured to belive by the u.s in 1993,that a cmprmize in the west bank would bring soem kind of peace in the area. There for,there wont be any second Arab state in that area in the near time,and because that area is the central of israel,why Israelis souldnt build on areas that they bought? By the way,bibi's first serivce as p.m in 1996-98 was a safe one,with out any suicide bomb attacks.You hould read his book* A place under the sun*.

that should calm down the situation for sure...
For each new apartment, US should reduce the aid by 1 million $.
But that will never happen...

The Israeli regime continues to wipe Palestine off the map as they approve the theft of more land.

The whole place is a mess. I think NY City should allow all the Jews in Israel to immigrate. Then they can give the land back to the Palestinians, watch it turn back to desert.

Israel has given back enough land without a promise of peace from the Muslim Arabs. Israel knows that even if they return land, the Muslim Arabs will never accept their existence. Good for Netanyahu for not giving in to pressure from the Obama administration. If the US cuts aid to Israel, Israel will actually be better off. Then they can determine their own foreign policy without Washington approval. The US aid only represents about 3% of Israel's GDP.
Oh yeah, and the US needs to stop giving billions in aid to Muslim Arab countries, which receive more than Israel. Egypt alone gets a couple of billion each year.
Hmmm, "Palestine". How can you wipe something off the map that's not even on the map?

And every time a suicide bomber goes off, or a rocket is launched, they increase aid by a billion.
I like this equation, of considering the people Smith and others here support, it wouldn't be long before the US budget was primarily going to Israel.

Not even close to enough.
If you are right, I guess they have succeeded then. Palestine was on the map, and now the Israeli regime has wiped it off! I'm sure you're proud!

they only TALK about 400-500 units,mainly in the big cities. menawhile there is huge demend to build new houses,but many towns stile waits for permisions. karanei shomron,for example has a poppulation of 7000 people.how ever it has been 6 years since they recived any persmision to build new houses. and that is even though they recived in 2006 after the war a promise from Eeud Barak to build a 42 houses neighberhood to memorise the towns fallen hero,benaya rine,that serve with me in the idf. in the neve menachem discrit in the town,300 units is waiting 12 YEARS to be built.every thing is ready besaide the houses:rouds,sidewalk,electricty and wather conection.the only thing missing is the houses.

The majority of the British Mandate that was known as "Palestine" is now Jordan. In fact, it was Jordan that occupied the West Bank up until the 1967 war. Looks like Jordan wiped "Palestine" off the map.
Israel, which is about the size of New Jersey, gave back the Sinai Peninsula which is four times its size. But we all know it's not about the land for the Arab Muslims. It's about the elimination of the State of Israel. A reminder of their failed culture in the heart of the ME must truly sting.

Israel is playing with fire. Why they want to construct there where they can never ever live peacefully.

I say give back nothing. Keep what you got. The Arabs can lick their wounds and cry over spilt milk.

Let them build houses in West bank.
If Palestinians get more oil money,it can buy them .
No point stoping economic development anywhere. Houses can be bought by anyone,whether palestinians,israelis or via other foreign finance.
OIC/Islamic nations have a lot land,yet it is undeveloped due to lack of industrial expertise/finance.
If development happens in this part of Middle east desert,let it develop.
Why people want to prevent real estate development in west bank.
Property can change hands to anybody in future,to whoever who want to buy these houses.
