#1 The statements by Psaki et al objecting to building in Jerusalem are apparently meant to appease certain Arabs. The main obstacle to peace is the unwillingness of some Arabs to even consider peace. In fact, there is no reason to believe that appeasement will change that unwillingness; and plenty of reason to believe that putting a cost on that unwillingness by building (if that is a cost) might actually change their attitude, and make them accept peace to avoid further building. In other words Psaki is 100% wrong.

#3 Only in the capitals of Europe and Washington would new home construction anywhere be seen as a bad thing.

Families and children, churches, farms, schools, industry, civilization.... all bad.

#6 #5 Screw Peace. Forget "Peace". The Arab doesn't want it and you can't offer it to them. They want to kill you AND your kids.

What Fat Bob said.

Personally, I think Israel should make a claim for the lands they obtained through conquest; the Sinai and the Golan Heights and any other land they acquired/occupied as the result of conquest.

Tell the apparachiks ans Arabs who don't like this to go pound sand.

#7 I stopped listening when I saw Kerry was whinging with the arabs.

Both are worthless and both need to go away.

#8 What about rockets in schools and military command centers in hospitals? Are they compatible with peace?

#9 Consistent with the White House position that European settlements in North America were 'incompatible' with peace.

#10 Build nice condos on the Jordanian border and encourage the East Jerusalem Arabs to move there.
