Maguire: UN should suspend Israeli membership    Associated Press
1. Nobel
The Nobel institute should be ashamed enough of this left wing delusional Islamonazi supporting terrorist appologist to revoke he nobel
X'   (11.20.08)
2. UN
The cowardice of the defence minister and the useless corrupt prime minister has brought about the requests by anti semetic Israel bashers to revoke Israel's membership. Urgent elections to get rid of this phenomenon

3. Yawn.....then cry me a river.
Stop rocketing us biotch and then there won't be a problem.

4. Maguire
This "Peace" prize laureate has shown her true colours. Two things should happen. Her name should be removed from the list of Nobel Peace Prize Laureats and she should be banned from entering the State of Israel. Ribbing shoulders with terrorists seems a wee bit out of place for a "Peace Prize" winner!
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.20.08)
5. Mary Maguire
Not a word about rocket fire. It sounds like double standards to me as usual.
Russell ,   Manchester   (11.20.08)
6.  resolution
'Palestinian refugees wishing to return to their home and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for the loss of or damage to property.' UN General Assembly Resolution 194 (111) 11 December 1948 This resolution has been reaffirmed 135 times
Richard ,   London UK   (11.20.08)
7. #6 - Gen. Assembly resolutions are NON-BINDING
That means that, even if their content has been affirmed by the GA 135 thousand times, they have no judicial power within the context of int'l law. Furthermore, if we actually explore the full text of the resolution you cited for the spirit of the law, we shall see that it discusses the recompensation of ALL refugees affected by the 1948 war. That refers also to Jewish refugees from Muslim countries, hundreds of thousands of whom were chased at during or shortly after 1948 as a direct result of the war. It's easy to forget about them, since, unlike the Palestinians with UNRWA, the Jews (and all other refugee groups in the world, if we're being honest) weren't lucky enough to get their own special UN agency to deal ONLY with their refugee group. But the fact remains that the wording, and thus the potential compensation, of refugees works BIDIRECTIONALLY. Nice try.

8. What do you expect? They gave Arafat the prize too!
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.20.08)
9. God bless her!
70% of the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip are not from the Gaza strip but from the many towns and villages that used to exist in the Negev, and Ashkelon, and Ashdod, etc... These people should restore their towns and only then one can assume the people in Gaza to have passion toward any peace.

10. Pack up all the UN advisors on a plane, send them back.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.20.08)
11. Revoke UN's status in Israel
UN is just a Jew-hating Arab country club anyway. We don't need them.
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.08)
12. At One Time Israel Was Respected
Appeasement it seems has only confused the issue.By the way,I don't see Maguire protesting when Iran threatens to wipe Israel from the map nor hear any empathy for the poor bastards in Sderot ,but then again they are only jews.
Larry ,   zefat Israel   (11.20.08)
13. That Is What You Get (slap in Face)
When you continually play the nice Guy and project weakness but jews never learn.
Larry ,   zefat Israel   (11.20.08)
14. Just Another Anti-Semite
Ignore her.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.20.08)
15. Maguire
Go to Sderot and Ashkelon live with the residents there for a month of daily rocket fire and no shelters to speak of. Israel returned Gaza to the Palestinians, and we didn't get peace, instead they installed rocket launchers when they should have built homes and farmed the land. So until you walk a mile in the shoes of Sderot Residents Ms. Maguire keep your mouth shut! Further more the UN has never been a friend of Israel, always condeming Israel's response to terrorist attacks , but not condeming the ARAB Terrorists for comitting those acts! I say Disband the UN entirely it is a pro Arab joke!
Roxy ,   Israel   (11.20.08)
16. Oh my Golly , please don't throw us out of the useless UN!!!
How can we continue to live another day without being a member of the islamofacsit despotic body of the UN?! Please don't revoke our "special status" (reserved for Jews only) at the UN, we are sooooo used to the special status, don't take it from us. (-;
:-D   (11.20.08)
17. #6 It only works if they wanted to come back and live......
.................in Peace with the emphasis on peace!
Adam ,   Manchester   (11.20.08)
18. They also gave Peace Prize to Kissinger and Arafat
Kissinger (and his North Vietnamese counterpart) were given the Nobel Peace Prize while still engaged in war. As was Arafat, then still every bit a terrorist. The Prize has been devalued. McGuire is no more qualified to pontificate about Israel 's place among the nations than is any other anti-Israel bigot.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (11.20.08)
19. Maguire
# 4 is absolutely right. It seems she is willing to let our civilian population be subject to unending attacks by rocket. After all, we are only Israelis (Jews) so it’s O.K in her world to kill us.
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot, Israel   (11.20.08)
20. U.N
Maguire, is different than Carter, just showing her true anti Semitic colours. Why should we care what the U.N has to say, when it allow other countries to ignore resolutions. People what Gaza to be open fine, take to Egypt, we left Gaza, we don't have to allow the border to be open. However, give us Gilad back and stop shooting rockets then will talk, until then to f--king bad.
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (11.20.08)
21. Israel hsould do one better
Israel should pack up and drop out of the UN--which is a hostil, anti-Semitic organization anyway.
bob ,   potomac md usa   (11.20.08)
22. Hamas that brought the humanitarian crisis
Blaming Israel for a crisis that Hamas created is like blaming the US for Sudan's genocide and humanitarian disasters. The Maguire freaks are operating out of passion and propaganda, not thoughtful understanding of the situation---not to mention that they're betraying their support for Hamas (which says a lot about the Maguire Klan).
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (11.20.08)
23. to #8 They always give the noble prize
to our enemies.Not just hara-fat, but also to peres!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.20.08)
24. #22
I don't remember Hamas being around when European colonialists came to Palestine and evicted the local population, razed their villages to the ground and massacred thousands of them in the process. How is hamas to blame for the plight of the Palestinians?
jane   (11.20.08)
25. why is the whole world anti-semetic?
why do each of you cry anti-semitism ANY TIME, ANYONE, criticizes the government of Israel. Are you drinking from the same bullshit potion that Hitler gave his citizens when he brainwashed them? Even the jews, like me, who say anything bad about the GOVERNMENT (not the jewish people in israel or any other country) are deemed self-hating. In fact I am self-loving, because im not dumb enough to beleive the bullshit the israeli government feeds its own citizens
concerned ,   jew   (11.20.08)
26. Maguire: I dare ya to bring your protest inside Gaza
Let's see what kind of reception Hamas gives you when you try to intervene on behalf of the people living there. Go on! Put your money where your mouth is, lady!
USA   (11.20.08)
27. richard
so you're saying my great grandfather should be able to return to yemen if he wanted to? or get compensation since he had to leave his home there in 1948? or are you trying to ignore the fact that he lost his home and just focus on the palastinians?
max ,   new jersey usa   (11.20.08)
28. Obviously the people of Sderot are not human
and do not deserve any rights. Everyone who thinks the way the laureate should go to hell
Stephanie ,   Israel   (11.20.08)
29. revoke UN in israel
Revoke UN in Israel and send them back with UNRWA and the hundred of thousand of palestinians from jordan and egypt who depend of unrwa. Destroy the unrwa camps, show the evidence of corruption of some of the un fonctionnaires in israel (i remember an empty jeep of UN near a street full of prostitutes in Israel and it was not for a "official" affair"...) too many of ultra leftists from third world and corrupt dictatorship in this rotten institution.
cordier   (11.20.08)
30. What did the British do when she protested N.Ireland?
The British ignored the world's "outcry." They continued policies that were to their advantage and ignored the Mary Maquires of the world. Sensible, proud countries who are committed to doing what they need to do act the way the British did. What's our plan?
