1. The reply
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (03.27.07)
to this accurate analysis needs no further comment, and the proceedings of the body should not ever again be reported by any honest news medium.
2. Hypocrisy
Gliker ,   TX, USA   (03.27.07)
The Orwellian hypocrisy of "President" De Alba should be a signal to all of the UN Human Rights Council's intention. Inadmissable testimony? Stricken from the record? It has already travelled the world through YouTube, you idiot.
3. So, the TRUTH really hit home hey?
jan   (03.27.07)
4. Close The UN
Not Jewish ,   USA   (03.27.07)
The UN is a cesspool of corruption. The Islamic dominated UN human rights commission passes constant resolutions to discredit and delegitimize Israel while ignoring the Islamic genocide in Darfur. The UNHRC supports the raping and killing of ethic Africans because it's their people doing it. Muslims believe that the end justifies the means. The Muslims have always spread Islam at the point of a sword. The UNHRC is comprised of jihadists and it is time to close this once noble org. that has become very evil.
5. I Cannot Believe YNET Published The Truth, once.
Yonatan Koss ,   Chiloquin, Oregon   (03.27.07)
6. UN Human Righs = oxymoron
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (03.27.07)
7. WOW - WOW!!!!! oh WOW!!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (03.27.07)
Well spoken well done!!! This speech was a long time coming but hit the right nerve. Let's hope the 'despots' sit up and take note. Could this be a whole new UN emerging from the shadows?
8. Hillel Neuer
Sandra ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (03.27.07)
Very well said Hillel Neuer. I agree with your comments 100%. No wonder De Alba had an "agitated expression". He can't stomach listening to the truth.
9. video of speech
Concerned Israeli   (03.27.07)
For anyone that wants to take a look at this brave speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhWgZu6tcZU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Flittlegreenfootballs%2Ecom%2Fweblog%2F
10. Neuer, you are my new hero!
(03.27.07)
11. NEUER IS MY HERO
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (03.27.07)
12. Finally! Good for Neuer!
(03.27.07)
The president's reply only reinforces the argument,. He should have responded to the highly viable criticism with shame not with dismissal!
13. Thank God for Hillel Neuer
Reuven Carmel ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (03.27.07)
And i agree fully with #1... the response says all that we need to know. Let Alba respond substantively, if he is capable of doing so. It would appear that he is not.
14. To Leon - #1
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (03.27.07)
Unfortunately, many of the "honest" international news agencies have been anything but. Will the MSM carries this report? Reuters, BBC, AFP, etc (where my country's mass media get their news feed from) will continue the demonization of Israel in EVERY aspect even if (and this is a very slim if) the commission "reforms". I applaud Mr Hillel Neuer for his honest assessment.
15. ...
YB   (03.27.07)
You have the right to do what ever you feel is right. Destroying Israel is the right thing to do in the mind of the UN. (they cant say it, so they cover it with the notion of Human Rights. Do they really care about those PA people?) Hillel Neuer said it as is, and the president cant swallow the truth.
16. UN, what's this ?
David ,   Paris, France   (03.27.07)
It's known that Esav hates Yaacov. UN is an organization of despots. Always criticizing Israel. But with the number of arab countries, and european pro-arab countries. All is already written.
17. The UN. is an ignoble organization, it needs to be
rachel ,   usa   (03.27.07)
investigated for its corruptions.....
18. Finally a honest man speaks out against this UN HRC lunacy
Joe   (03.27.07)
Dismantle the HRC
19. Muslim Civil Rights
Edwin ,   Canada   (03.27.07)
In Sermon 79 of Nahjul Balagha: O' ye peoples! Women are deficient in Faith, deficient in shares and deficient in intelligence. As regards the deficiency in their Faith, it is their abstention from prayers and fasting during their menstrual period. As regards deficiency in their intelligence it is because the evidence of two women is equal to that of one man. As for the deficiency of their shares that is because of their share in inheritance being half of men. So beware of the evils of women. Be on your guard even from those of them who are (reportedly) good. Do not obey them even in good things so that they may not attract you to evils.
20. THE TRUTH HURTS
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (03.27.07)
Mr. De Alba for the first time should have given thanks to someone telling the truth about that so called U.N. commision, but then, what can you expect? The U.N. has been hijacked by the least deserving and oppresive of illegitimate "goverments" like Iran and Cuba, but then, the U. S. keeps footing the bill. who undertands what goes on.
21. The whole UN should be dissolved.
Oleg ,   USA   (03.27.07)
This is uselesss impotent organization, that does nothing except waisting our money.
22. The oppressed of world must suffer because Arabs hate Israel
Alan ,   SA   (03.27.07)
23. Finally the truth is spoken
Y ,   N   (03.27.07)
24. un
fish   (03.27.07)
I only wonder who pays the bills of having all un beauraucrats sitting in posh offices and assemblies, not doing anything good, and attacking israel at every opportunity?Why don't sane countries - US, UK, Israel, Italy, Germany , Australia, and others call it quits? This is a mockery ...
25. Does someone konw, where the full speech can be found ?
Alberto Cohen ,   Rio de Janeiro   (03.27.07)
26. HR Council's DeAlba - no thanks to Neuer
Kathleen Miller ,   Washington DC USA   (03.27.07)
Neuer's comments at the HR Council in Geneva so agitated the Council Chairman that for first time in history, someone wasn't thanked for their statement? Then the HRC Chair said language of that kind would be "inadmissable" in the future. I thought the UN was a democracy -"one state, one vote"? What happened to free speech?Everybody want to get to heaven, nobody want to die . . .

28. NO ONE CARE ABOUT THE PALIS,THE ONLY CARE TO DESTROY ISRAEL.
CHRISTIAN ,   USA   (03.27.07)
29. Much more of this is needed
Y ,   N   (03.27.07)
Come on Israel.You have to take the front in the information war. More speaches like this and more info on the middle east conflict from your persective will eventually give you the victory. The palis have played the propaganda game well in the past decades but now its your turn.
30. A Den Of Thieves Under Diplomatic Cover & Immunity.
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (03.28.07)
Finally, someone speaks truth to power. ALL the civilized world knows that Hillel speaks the truth, but many are loathe to admit it. Aside from Bolton many in US power circles still think the UN is important. They are a gang of despots given legitimacy to steal, rampage and pilfer.
