32. respect your elder's!
steve ,   london, england   (03.08.08)
I know what these so called elders expect to achieve. Fame. They bask in it. But privately they know they can and will achieve nothing tangible for the peace process. Kofi Annan above all is an elder example of the utter failings and sometimes complicity of the world in Israel's difficulties. Carter is a great man but surely for him this is another chapter in the same book of terrors. Mary Robinson is not going to get the respect women do not get from Arabs anyway. The problem is education. If these elders want to achieve progress for people in Israel and Palestine they should organize the money required to finance the introduction of reforms to the education curriculum in Palestine and Israel and make the Universal Declaration and International Bill of Human Rights a compulsory topic for all children age ten years. Make them write essays about these documents. It is Islamic fundamentalism with its finger on a trigger and right wing nationalism in Israel that needs attention. People who cannot quote from the texts of human rights have a handicap in their reason and conscience with regard to their world view. The elders have failed Palestine and Israel on this topic since 1948. That was the year the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was introduced. It was in December 1948. Seven months after Israel's Declaration of Independence. Israel has signed the International Bill. Palestine has not. It's now 60 years of failure. The problem is getting old. When will the elders grow up? Amen ve Amen
33. #4, what about
u have got to be ,   JOKING!   (03.08.08)
also hiring ahmonkeynedejhad and assad, and adolf, . . . . . . ..
34. 18 - WE ARE HERE ALREADY
permanant support   (03.08.08)
& yes, we'll protest alright. (that's why we made aliya)
35. Don't give them entry visa to Israel.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.08.08)
And when they complain, gov't. spokesmen should aggressively, bluntly, & with no tact at all, criticise their positions & start a real media argument as to why their positions are unacceptable & their presence unwelcome. But, of course, our cringing bunch of losers will welcome them with smiles even as these Israel-bashers issue propaganda statement after propaganda statement against us.
36. The UN is worthless
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (03.08.08)
The UN is a morally bankrupt organization. Annan is a stooge of the anti Israel leftists. Israel, and The US, should pull out of the UN. How can countries like syria and libya judge other Democrate countries and criticise them. There should be a new organization of countries, and for a country to join, that country must have basic human rights for all it's citizens, and minorities in those countries should have the same rights as the majority. that would eliminate all arab countries. It is pointless for Israel to be in the UN. Israel does not need idiots like annan telling her anything. And the US should kick the UN out of NY. Please Israeli, remove olmert, and replace him with a leader that will defend Israel. Destroy Hamas, and the iranian nuclear threat now!
37. tutu is a fool
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (03.08.08)
Desmond Tutu is a fool. there is no cycle of violence. What there is, is, Arab terror, and Israeli defensive actions. Carter is a Jew hater. Israel should not allow him to set foot on Israeli soil, No other country would put up with daily rocket attacks. Why should Israel. Its time for Israel to carpet bomb gaza until the attacks stop. Also eliminate the head of Hamas, both the cowards in gaza and damascus. Also, Israel should tell Abbas that he is a worthless empty suit, any stop talking to that holocaust denier.
38. Annan and Co head new ME "Peace"
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya Israel   (03.08.08)
We now have a collection of the greatest haters of Israel and the Jewish race since Hitler. It is time Israel wakes up and goes it alone.
39. Kofi -- oil for food scandal -- Anan. Jimmy -- it took Rega
Stewart ,   USA   (03.08.08)
Regan to get the hostages back -- Carter and Mary ... I give up with this one. Have any of these idiots had anything to say about what kind of hatred is spewed in Palestinian children's text books and TV.
40. Hey why isn't the KKK invited?
Yaniv.G ,   TelAviv   (03.08.08)
41. Carter/Annan/Robinson
Penny Russell ,   Vancouver Canada   (03.08.08)
Jew-haters incorporated. A more inept and hostile gaggle of idiots could not be imagined. Don't let them in.
42. Jimmy Carter go back to building Houses
Psalms 82 ,   Selah   (03.08.08)
That is the only thing you are qualified to do and people around the world aplaud....foriegn policy is your worst suit ...
43. This is a joke, right?
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (03.08.08)
44. Shoot down their plane???
hymie zoltsveis ,   NYC USA   (03.08.08)
Instead of complaining, maybe a REAL Israel, would shoot down the planes carrying the enemies of Israel? A HUGE opportunity missed recently. When neo-Hitler Amadinnerjihad from Iran, flew to Iraq, the USA and Israel missed a HUGE opportunity to save the World. This Iranian fleabag's jet should have been shot down, and the squirt should have been killed. More opportunities missed. Where is the OLD Israel. Instead we have de-balled leaders being bossed around by Condi Rice and the US State Dept.
45. Olmert will probably welcome them
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (03.08.08)
This foreign controlled government has to resign now.
46. Annan, Carter and Robinson are persona no grata
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.08.08)
They are not the Three Stooges they are rabid haters of the State of Israel and the Jewish People. I would even go so far to accuse them of being anti-Semitic. They have proven over and over again that they support the Palestinians no matter how many Jews they butcher. They will stand by and watch while Jews get slaughtered. They may covertly aid and abet the destruction of our country. In short, I can only hope that some sanity will prevail and that they will be declared "persona non grata".
47. Peace mission ?
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (03.08.08)
This is not a peace mission delegation. All their members are well known Israel bashers.
48. The circus is coming to town
Jaime XMarrano ,   Barcelona Spain   (03.08.08)
One is a witch doctor,one an oil thief, and one is an ugly Irish crone who absolutely detests Israelis.
49. Tell Tutu to stop murders of SA Whites3000farmers since 1994
Sarel du Toit ,   Bloemfontein   (03.08.08)
In the last months even 2 Jews were murdered.One was going to theSynagogue .They wanted his Prayers Bag thinking it contained valuables .. The other was one of the top industrialists,killede while sitting in his car waiting for his son at football practice!.Shot in the neck Tutu is not the man for the Jews(or anybody else). Everyday murders murders murders
50. annan
sas ,   israel   (03.08.08)
an extremely pro israel team. a non starter to say the least.
51. Cofi, Jimmy and the queen of hearts
vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (03.08.08)
All they need to add is osam a bin mad hatter, and we are well away. Don't be a doremouse or else Peres, Olmert and definitly Barak will give us all away. Where is the Cheshire cat to give us the potion to save us? IT STINKS
52. I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THESE BUFFOONS WILL SAY - NOW.
Scott   (03.08.08)
Buffoon Robinson - has never had a complimentary word regarding Israel. She must miss the limelight since she lost her high profile position, this sharp brain will have the situation all summed up. You'll see. Nor has Buffoon Carter - the failed wanky president who can give expert advice regarding hostage situations. Now just a silly old bugger barely masking his dementia. ..and Kofi Annan...well, he has yet to discredit himself totally, Not yet wearing the "buffoon" title. But sounds like he'll be given every chance to earn it.
53. Annan searching for Onan
Geoff ,   Sydney, Australia   (03.08.08)
Good luck in your search, I hope your eyesight is keen.
54. AY, AY, AY..
liora ,   tiberia   (03.08.08)
3 WOES !! Do not let them come!!!!
55. This repugnant trio should be personae non grata
Millie ,   Israel   (03.08.08)
Allowing these vile, anti-Israel public figures into Israel to "advise" us is asking to destroy whatever is left of our battered national dignity and right to self-defense. They will be highly active in finding all possible ways to destroy Israel and promote Pali genocidal ambitions. They must be repudiated and refused entry. Somehow I don't think our weak and self-destructive "leadership" understand the full impact of the things they do and say. The time has come for Israelis to rise from their stupor and take to the streets. Enough!
56. #53 Geoff - Is that the Sin of Onan you mean?
Scott   (03.08.08)
If so ...I fully agree! He's had more hands on experience than all of us put together. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/onanism

58. #34 Please contact me
David ,   Montpelier USA   (03.08.08)
#34 Please contact me so that we can arrange the protest.
59. SAY NO TO CARTER, ROBINSON, TUTU
Rich ,   Miami, USA   (03.08.08)
Israel must not meet with Carter, Robinson and Tutu- three anti-Israel leaders and Carter, who is the father of modern anti-Semitism- not to mention an employee of the Arab world.
60. From the director of Farewell Israel.
G ,   US   (03.08.08)
Doesn't Egypt's Camp David Agreement of 1979 with Israel and the 1993 Oslo Accords demonstrate there are moderates in the Muslim world? No, those agreements were simply part of what I call "The Diplomatic Strategy Against Israel," with the same goal as a military Jihad, the transformation of Israel from a Jewish state into a Muslim state. There is complete consensus across all schools of thought in the Islamic world that Israel's existence is an injustice, and must be eliminated on the path to successful Islamic revival
