91. A reply to a boycott
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.31.07)
The first day we isolate gaza. The second day we cut off electricity,water, food medical supplies,ect. The third day of the boycott we start a massive artillery barrage. It continues till they surrender or leave gaza. Then we start on Judea and Shomron.
92. Israel boycott
Claude Archabault ,   Montreal Canada   (08.31.07)
Regardless of what that meeting is using as a reason to boycott Israel, I think that Israel should be boycott just for not following the UN resolution passed over 30 years ago asking for Israel to returned the land seized from the six days war. Many country have suffered worst then just a boycott for disobeying similar orders. So yes a full boycott of Israel is long overdue and a good international strategy.
93. Another RACIST conference, but people trying to STEAL Israel
David ,   Boston, USA   (08.31.07)
Once again the Arab invaders are trying to steal what they cant win in war. This is truly ironic. Arabs control 78-90% of historic Palestine. They ethnically cleansed Jews from the land and have BANNED them from citizenship by law. The Arabs have laws 10 times worse than South Africa and they blame Israel. IT takes balls for racists to call the victims the racist. Here is a reminder to all enemies of Israel. Israel has survived all enemies for 5000 years and NO enemy of Israel has ever survived. This experiment to create another Arab Palestinian state will fail too. Two states: Israel and Jordan Palestine. Jews MUST be allowed to live in both states and Arabs must stop the occupation of the Temple Mount for their to be peace.
94. UN Summit: Boycott Israel
Ralph E. Zecco ,   Socorro, USA   (08.31.07)
Since the UN calls this part of a "Middle East Peace" promotion, can we now agree the the UN is filled with BIGOTS? Why don't the nations that still have a shred of honor boycott the UN and call it what it truly is, a Den of THEIVES and PERVERSIONS. The only good they are is to destroy countries and assist the terrorists and perversion to push their own agendas. Ralph
95. re did germany attend?
Claude Archabault ,   Montreal Canada   (08.31.07)
Has the US attended... after all they also boycotted the jews 60 years ago..... remember how long they waited to go and help they were the last one to go in... and jews were banned from certain universities back then . But no one talk about that today.....
96. #86 The UK is like Germany in 1933
MARK ,   USA   (08.31.07)
The Germans started by boycotting all Jewish owned companies. Now the UK is doing the same to Israel. We all know what happened after 1933 in Germany. Since history repeats itself over and over, the same will happen in the UK.
97. Persian Cat, A little off track
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (08.31.07)
What does this have to do with the USA? Really now, can you stay on track or does your hate fill your mind and mouth with mindless drivel, maybe you should just start your own blog!? I'm sure you'll receive lots of hits
98. These are blood suckers who suck Arab's oil and spit at
Israel. ,   NY USA   (08.31.07)
99. Danny Rubinstein from Ha'areetz
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (08.31.07)
was at the summit saying Israel is an Apartheid state,can you blame the Europeans when people like Rubinstein encourage them.
100. Boycotting Israel
David W. Lincoln ,   Edmonton, Alberta   (08.31.07)
Whatever anyone, or anything, dishes out - they should be on the receiving end. The United Nations says boycott Israel. I say, boycott the United Nations. It is past high time for those countries which command respect to pull out of that collection which includes nations who do not command respect.
101. Good point #7
Sadhasiv ,   Washington DC, USA   (08.31.07)
The UN was built from the wreckage of the LN (infamous for failing to stop WW2) and has no more legitimate reason for existence than its predecessor!
102. UN Boycot of Israel
Spencer Downs ,   Evansville, IN, USA   (08.31.07)
I'm not surprised. Biblical prophesy states that a ten-nation confederacy (the EU/UN), nations of the old Roman Empire revived, will arise led by an unusually strong political leader (the Antichrist), who will first establish a 7- year peace treaty with Israel, but who will betray her at the end of 3 1/2 years. This recent action is simply a prelude to the fulfillment of this Bible prophesy. Many may poo-poo this, but just watch! Your eyes will be opened--wide! God is still in control and He doesn't lie!
103. Time to Unite Our Voices against Appeasement

Time to Unite Our Voices against Appeasement in Israel and outside of Israel. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/
104. MORAL BANKRUPTCY
steve ,   london england   (08.31.07)
The State of Israel is punctuating world history at the UN again. Where the UN is concerned I suggest it is the world that is morally bankrupt. How many nations send their television reporting media to the UN and its Organs, such as the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly, in order that their citizens may become awarwe of what is going on in these places from year to year? Answer: None of the Permanent Members o9f the Security Council do. Their citizens are as ignorant as flies on a soundproofed wall of the most important debates in the world today. Consider the condition of real estate enterprise around the world and see who is morally bankrupt. In England a house is no longer a home ...... it is a chip on a casino wheel. Consider the condition of the world's pension funds and see who is morally bankrupt. It is almost totally impossible to make a sound investment in unit trust funds today. Why? Because the world's television companies use their technology like a playstation. But ....... like the UN is suipposed to be...... it is a life support machine. Who cares? The State of Israel has more wherewithal to bring a peacweful world to Palestinians than many of the most vociferous UN Members. Why? Because Israel acts where the world merely talks. The Security Wall stays. it stays until the arabs declare it a memorial to a bygone era. An era of terrorism and genocide. That call might take another 60 years to come. But Israel can wait forever in peace and security inside of it if that is what it takes to prevent homicidal maniacs from entering our land of peace.
105. clare short
yaniv ,   rome, italy   (08.31.07)
this woman is a well known fellatio practicioner. this conference was just a gathering of dumb, crosseyed wits. i suggest they shoul meet next time in teheran, with ahmadineRAT'S blessing
106. UN Has Always Been Anti-Israel
Kathleen ,   Sacramento, CA   (08.31.07)
This should come as no surprise. The UN has always been anti-Israel. Comparing Israel to South Africa's apartheid is incredibly naive and foolish. There are no similarities whatsoever. The UN is a useless organization that needs to go away.
107. Israel
Ann ,   Detroit MI   (09.01.07)
This UN meeting and it's obvious strategy to wound the Israli people by negative rhetoric, only brings to light the Bible's fore-warning that in the time of the end,, Israel will become a burdensome stone to all nations.... because they do not comprehend the spiritually srategic place Israel find itself in---this is bigger than any nation or people--the Bible is clear that shortly there will be a blood-bath in the middle-east unlike anything ankind has ever witnessed,,,,@ that time God will fight for Israel Himself----does not matter what people believe---it is going to take place and the culmination of all things will end in the land of Israel.....it is a shame that many will sit back and with thier unbelief will mock and scorn but they cannot escape the acts of God fore-told, and will stand in awe and disbelief as the end of all things as we know it will be changed forever....there is a day on the horizon that though some would tell of,, most will mock even as thier destruction comes....I am just an ordinary American citizen,, but I have taken the time, and allowed God into my life and He said He would make known His great plan to His humble people.....look up---the Lord is returning
108. PERES THE SPINELESS WHIMP
P henry ,   co. U.S.A.   (09.01.07)
JUST FOUND OUT WHIMP PERES WANT TO GIVE 95% OF WEST BANK TO ISLAMIC TERRORIST.THIS FOB HAS BEEN STABBING ISRAEL IN THE BACK FOR YEARS UNDER THE GUISE OF (DIPLOMACY). OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL..WAKE UP ISRAEL!
109. wall
COLIN   (09.01.07)
It seems that Israel is doing something correctly by building the security fence against suiside bombers and terrorists.This is proved by all the speakers that attempt to conscrew the meaning of the fence calling it a apartheid wall.These same people are afraid to livfe in Israel.How do other countries of the world have a border fence?Do the rest of the world have open borders?Why all the security between countries which have border fences?Are all these countries apartheid states?The UN by sponcering this conference is upholding its policy of being anti Israel and anti semetic Nothing new.
110. UN is at the end of the road...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.31.07)
As barbaric countries are put in charge of "civil rights" and "human rights" comissions and become an hysterical and bloodthirsty majority while raping each and every principle the UN was born upon, the only thing left to do is watch as the UN falls apart. UN is corrupt from top to bottom - it is a sad and dangerous circus of human fallacy and species suicidal tendencies. Since the seventies, the UN has been overcome and then run by the scum of human society - first Leftists, later joined by the Islamo-fascists and now supported by unscrupulous and corrupt politicians who are only happy to offer their behind to the highest bidder. Israel should still be a member of the UN - if only to present it with a mirror to see its own ugly and deformed face. These days "United" implies "United in the call to genocide and demonization of Israel". It means "united in the call to Islamize teh world, to destroy each and every human value and moral". It means "united in raping history, murdering honesty and glorifying genocide of the non-Muslims". These days "Nations" means the scores of petty but dangerous dictators, with megalomanical dreams of a Nuclear Winter and an Islam-dominated world, who ironically have been put in charge of World's conscience. This is a dark period not only for the UN, but for the entire Human Race! Shame on us!
111. #92 - Ignorange and hatred at their best
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.31.07)
Claude, will the fact that Israel "seized" the West Bank, Gaza and Golan Heights as a result of ARAB WARS against Israel make any difference to your blind and uneducated decison to boycott Israel? I think not. You hate Israel no matter what and your claims as to why, are only lame excuses to satisfy the cognitive dissonance. Israel gave "back" Sinai in exchange for peace and settled its border issues with Jordan the same. Notably, neither Jordan nor Egypt wanted the West Bank or Gaza back . They knew what kind of primitive bloodthirsty barbars dwell those places. Israel went as far as to also offer half of Jerusalem - the Jewish soul - to the Muslim squatters (that you so fondly call "palestinians"), but all it got in return was terror and murder. Israel has proved more than once, WITH ACTIONS - that it wants peace and that it is prepared to give back the RIGHTFULLY siezed territories in exchange for an HONEST peace. So now these "palestinian" animals who do not hesitate to kill their own have aspirations to wipe Israel off the map. Would YOU co-exist with a gang of hyenas bent on YOUR destruction? I bet you would - after all, Canada has become a breeding place of the radical Left whose only agenda is to promote anarchy and Islam all over the world. So excuse me if I give squat for your boycott. I also suggest you stop using email, CPUs and scores of other Israeli inventions and innovations which make your miserable and hate-filled litle worthles life so obscenely comfortable!
112. Dismantle the UN
Christy ,   Boston, USA   (09.01.07)
The UN hasn't done much good for quite a while. I'm tired of reading about these anti-Israel conferences it holds. I'm tired of reading about a lot that it does, to be honest. It's way past time to dismantle the UN. It's too expensive and filled with corruption. It's a paradise and a feeding trough for greedy bureaucrats, who enlarge their own pockets at the expense of those they should be helping. If the Western Nations, Japan and Israel got together a replacement for the UN could be put together. This replacement organization might actually do some good for a change. I hate that my tax dollars go to this corrupt organization that's accountable to nobody. When is the last time the UN's accounts were audited and the results made public? A top to bottom audit, detailing where the money goes is what I want to see.
113. To Karima from Kalkelya
Korem ,   New York, USA   (09.01.07)
If you read what I wrote what I'm saying very clearly is that any boycott will worsen the situation, not make it better. Israel will respond in anger, not friendship. If the PA keeps making decent gestures (such as buying weapons from al-aqsa brigade members) for all you know Israel will pull out of the West Bank. But with more bias and smear-campaigns against Israel come only a stronger extremist right-wing movement in Israel.
114. To #53. You Can't EAT Kassam Rockets.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (09.01.07)
You write :".. the Gazans are being boycotted ..". You are also saying that the Gazans have no state, they are stateless people. IF the Gazans are not living in the Gaza Strip -- then where do the Gazans live ?? IN the air above Gaza Strip !! IF the Gazans are not living in the Gaza Strip -- who is living in the Gaza strip ?? TO my knowledge the last Jew was EVICTED in August 2005 from the Gaza Strip. SO, what hinders the Gazans to grow their own food crop, namely vegetables and fruits ? And you say the Gazans are suffering. HOW can the Gazans suffer -- when they can grow their OWN vegetables and fruits in Gaza Strip ?! BTW the Gazans might suffer when they fill Kassam rockets with fertilizers -- instead of using the fertilizers to GROW vegetables and fruits. You can't fill your belly with Kassam rockets -- but fruits and vegetables do fill one's belly. THIS is a classic ' shoot at your own foot, and cry that life is very painfull '. WHEN will you grow up, you rascal !!!
115. To John #86. Something Sensible ???
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (09.01.07)
You write :"Israel behaviour is racist ". Are you NUTS !!! In Israel we have 1.2 million Arabs -- and they reject the idea of living under PA authority. ANOTHER point : the Israeli Arabs are having a MUCH better life in Israel, than Arabs/Muslims in many other Arab/Muslim countries. CONCLUSION : I consider you to be a racist -- not Israel. SO, how can a racist like you have something sensible to report ??? You should be the last person on earth who would say or write anything that is even remotely racist.
116. if Israel gets the blame anyway, why not just....
jack bauer ,   AU   (09.01.07)
have a population exchange? It already happened one way, now just finish it off. The jews were expelled from arab countries around the world. Unless the moslem arab population will swear loyalty to Israel they should be sent to dwell in the homes that the jews used to live in back in those arab countries. The good news will be that they wont have to learn new languages, since they already speak arabic. If Israel WAS an apartheid state.....the terrorism and killing in Israel would END why? because apartheid means to keep separate. If the suicide murder bombers are kept outside Israel they cant blow up in it It cant be an apartheid state if there arent any arabs in it right? Oh wait there are jews from all over the world....they have different appearances and accents......I would bet that the "haters" would go on and on about that, even if their were no arabs left in Israel.
117. APARTHEID?
vered ,   israel   (09.01.07)
IS GAZA PART OF ISRAEL OR IS IT IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A SEPARATE COUNTRY? AND ON THIS BASIS ISRAEL IS BEING JUDGED IN A UN FORUM? CAN THE UN BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY ANYMORE?
118. to koremfrom newyork from usa
karima ,   kalkelya   (09.01.07)
the diferance from my post ,that you said or say what you hear from jornalists or israil leaders .. but sure my posts are from what i see on this land . i think to see and live the event make you true more than to hear from so far in usa
119. #100 other countries have border fences, but also
(09.01.07)
have No legal or illegal settlements in neighbors' lands. Israel, as usual, excels!
120. Israel does not want peace
Virgo ,   Philadelphia, U.S.A.   (09.01.07)
Every time someone steps up and calls out Israel for what it is, the shrill cries of Anti-Semitism and Israel-haters fills the airs. Even Jews who agree with the fact that Israel is an apartheid state are called "Self-haters", which is the most ridiculous accusation I have ever heard. You pro-Zionists cannot defend yourselves or your actions, do dismiss it as hatred. It is not hatred. It is recognition of an apartheid state that continuously kills innocent Palestinians, children at play, farmers working in their fields, families having a day at the beach. You all dismiss it as "an unfortunate accident" or demean the life of a Palestinian as not being worth "One Jewish fingernail. You people are disgraceful. Everybody else is the problem, you are guilty of nothing. You show no remorse or responsibility of your actions, as if it is your birthright to behave in such a fashion. The Anti-Semites are Y-O-U! The Palestinians are true Semites, as are the Iraqis, the Iranians, Syrians, Jordanians, and Egyptians. You are wolves in sheeps clothing...Eastern European Jews who hijacked a religion and a nation for your own selfish gain. You are swindlers, and the world is beginning to notice. Thankfully, it looks like something is about to be done about it!
