Elliott Abrams eviscerates the Grey Lady’s shoddy, highly-editorialized, fictitious coverage of the recent Israeli decision to build Jewish housing in Jerusalem.
A more honest correction would have said this: “The Times reported, not as opinion but as fact in a news story, that the new construction being planned by Israel would cut Ramallah and Bethlehem off from Jerusalem, divide the West Bank in two, and make a contiguous Palestinian state impossible. None of those assertions was true, so we have to withdraw all of them.”

Support Israel and it is their G-D given right to build in their country. We need to chastise the UN for their ciminal behavior in allowing the Palestinian terrorist organizations an upgrade to their status so they can further harrass the State of Israel. One more Rocket launch should lead to the end of Hamas and Hezbolleh. The cease fire just protects the Palestinians so they can re-arm themselves to commit further acts of terror gainst Israel!

God(Yahweh) is a covenant keeping God! Yahweh told Abraham,”Those that bless you will be blessed,those that bring a curse on Israel WIIL BE CURSED!”When a nations leader says sell Israel’s enemies planes and tanks, then a curse will go to that nation:12/14/12 school shootings is a prime example. American leaders you MUST CHOOSE to Bless Israel.Israel, OBEY your God Yahweh!

The USA knows that Israel and Jerusalem are the apple of Gods Eye, and God will not allow any man are country to divide them. Obama is a muslim at heart, and he will side with the muslims when the time comes. You cannot defeat God, No Way, No How.

the nytimes is well beyond leftist or even marxist. it is purely an anti-semitic rag not fit to clean the toilet as it would dirty it up. no different than some cheap horrible demented pamphlet edited by a jew hating nutjob.

Jerusalem belongs to the jewish people as does Palestine, The UN is tryin to create a new country within a country,the U.S. would not let this happen in the states,don’t let it happen in Israel

Bob, I see you think the same way I do.There are no such people as “Palestinians”,they are mostly Jordanian Arabs.And yes the Israelis need to keep building for those that are coming from the 4 corners of the earth.

Bob, while I wholeheartedly agree with your statement..you are wrong in that the U.S. is alllowing Mexico to build a country inside the n. Most continue speaking Spanish& sending $$ ‘home’

As usual the anti-semitics at NYT have lost the art of independent thinking. This garbage was fed by Muslims who of course approve of such articles which depict Israelis in the worst light possible.

Don’t ever believe anything the New York Crimes says. It is a leftist paper not full of news but their left wing marxist idea’s.
