Popular cities like Maale Adumim and Ariel can fill hundreds of new homes per year. So can the Jerusalem neighborhood (which is on this list) of Pisgat Zeev. It's interesting that Ariel, with its rapidly growing university, isn't even on the list. It has always been a Likud stronghold, having been established by former Likud MK Ron Nachman who is still its Mayor.
The Defence Ministry outlined the following construction plans: 149 homes in the settlement of Har Gilo, 12 in Alon Shvut, 84 in Modiin Ilit, 76 in Pisgat Zeev, 25 in Kedar, 20 in Maskiot and 89 in Maale Adumim.
Bibi's little game will just backfire. How many times have I written that "you can't be just a little bit pregnant?" In the end his "center" ploy will leave him trapped in the "bagel hole." Instead of pleasing everyone, he's just alienating all sides of the political spectrum. By trying to be "smart," he's being dumb. And he's sure not showing leadership.
Leaders have vision, take a stand and aren't afraid to march foward to make their dreams reality. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is being a tail not a head.
Why don't we hear our
Israel needs leadership to build our country, not politicians who curry favor with foreign powers.

Why don't we hear our leaders politicians (I crossed out leaders, because they aren't leading us forward) demanding that Israel have "a viable and contiguous state?

let us not be churlish, but let us appreciate bibis tough position vis a vis both members of knesset and external pressure, and be thankful for what was legalized.
this does not mean we can not ask for more.
shy, their kvetches have no power, sort of like sighs. They make a point of saying it's not a rebellion when we need a true revolution within the Likud.
A, the numbers are so small, it's like a joke.
Batya, Sharon's frustration and abandonment of the Likud shows you to be historically wrong.
Not everyone says it's not a rebellion and some of those who say it's not a rebellion are covering up their intentions.
And if you need a true revolution within the Likud, it isn't coming from you anymore, nor from Ketzeleh and Co.
To Anonymous, we are not here to lick the crumbs America dictates we eat and Netanyahu rations out. I will be thankful for Netanyahu's ouster, as he shows himself unable to defend the people and the land of Israel.
Sharon's not "klei middah" for anyone else considering all he did.
Ketzele's not Likud, nor a politician.
Bibi would only change if he thought it would give him votes and power. Because of Feiglin he got elected, and we're stuck with Barak.
Why did he get elected because of Feiglin? Kadima actually won the election.
And if you wanted Kadima to win:
1. That would have been even worse.
2. Ketzeleh himself asked Peres to give the reigns to Netanyahu, so why don't you address your gripes closer to home instead of lashing out irrationally at the only group that can/could keep up the fight against Netanyahu in the first place?!
In Israeli elections the winner is the guy/party who/that makes the govt not the party with the most seats. The point is to rule, that's the aim.
Feiglin gave Bibi votes, and those votes gave him power. Yvette Lieberman made it possible to make the coalition, but he would have gone with anybody, like Barak did.
Kadima's lack of ideology means that it'll fade in the opposition. It stands for nothing.
NU's Ben-Arie seems surprisingly good and Ketzeleh brought in some votes, but I don't think he really understands the job.
