Israel, US foil UN condemnation    Yitzhak Benhorin
1. When will Britain announce they joined the Arab League?
Cynic ,   USA   (01.16.09)
2. UN tears
What a shame, the UN compound was hit in retribution for the hamass firing from that "untouchable" area. Hey UN, still waiting to hear your BS artists condemn hamass from using the compound for purposes of murder. UN is a sick bunch of puppies no better than the terrorists they work so hard to protect.

5. Diplomats thwart UN Condemnation
Shame on Britain, but never mind. Another year and the anti semitc labour party will be consigned to the political dustbin and the appeasement of muslims will be dismantled.
Mick ,   Warrington Uk   (01.16.09)
6. "Condemnation was proposed by Britain among other countries"
Oh, how not surprising. Ironically, I'm actuallty begining to feel sympathy and pity for this country - about to be consumed by a tsunami of fundamentalist Islam, and the complementary poverty, violence, intolerance, and Sharia laws. Would God save the queen this time?

7. #3 Brits giving the land to the arabs.
Actually you are 100% wrong you idiot, the Balfour Declaration written by the British is the only reason Israel exists. The moment someone criticizes Israel you turn your back on them.
Yup ,   Frankfort   (01.16.09)
8. #7 Israel existance
Israel exists because the Bible exists, source of your international Law, human rights and morality. Balfour was wise enough to respect it.
Debra ,   UK   (01.16.09)
9. #7 - Yup, Learn your history...
Jewish return, en masse, to the Land of Israel began in the 1880's, 37 years before the Balfour Declaration was drafted. Considering all Great Britain did to undermine not just the Balfour Declaration, but also the League of Nations' Mandate, it's a miracle Israel exists despite all those who double-crossed her.
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (01.16.09)
10. to 7
No it's not. You try to stop Aliyah. You give 80% of the land (Jordan) for an Arab state without create Jewish state. You failed to handle this conflict and give it to UN.
Smith   (01.16.09)
11. #4 sorry to burst you bubble ,but the polls say that most
americans support israel .....
rachel ,   usa   (01.16.09)
12. Milliband said tonite Israel upsetting Muslim street in EU
Alan ,   SA   (01.16.09)
13. British hope to avoid Arab wrath
But it will not work, the Arabs and Pakis who live in Britain are among the worst haters, they are rabid and ready to roll - The British have picked the wrong side of this conflict and will now swiftly roll into oblivion. They've had their chips.
Gur ,   TA   (01.16.09)
14. To "American" #4 - ASK the average American
Numerous pollsters have since the start of the incursion: Even the Zogby Poll, by the brother of the head the Arab American Association indicated that only 13% of the US population claim it is our fault. The overwhelming majority put the blame where it belongs - on the palis! YOU are obviously in the minority!
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.16.09)
15. 11-- yeah, like the polls said America liked BUSH??
LOL. You are in for one BIG surprise...
(01.16.09)
16. To american
but things will CHANGE ---look at the people obama has around him and think again Yeepppeee
Michael ,   London UK   (01.16.09)
17. #7, wierd interpretation of history
British backtracked almost immediately from the Declaration. It gave 80% of the land to Jordan, it gave the Golan to Syria. In 1936, it tried to palm off a tiny strip of coastal land as Israel - which the Arabs rejected. From 1940-1948, it refused to let Jews into Israel. In 1948 war, the UK armed and officered the Arab Legion - the only arab army to actually perform well. It intervened in December 1948 with British soldiers to prevent the total collapse of the Egyptian army. It worked to prevent Israel being accepted into the UN and all through the 1948 enforced an arms embargo on Israel. It was also the only country in the world to recognise Jordan's annexation of the West Bank. If you consider that to somehow be in anyway "pro-Israeli" what exactly does a country need to do to be anti-Israeli?

18. News Coverage of the Incident
I've said often here, and on Facebook about CNN's coverage of the war being the best news coverage by the west of the war, though I was dissapointe how one journalist handled it. I'm not sure if anyone saw it, but Mark Regev was being interviewed by CNN London anchor Don Riddell, who just ripped into Regev from the first question (he asked him what did bombing the UN have to do with disarming Hamas). Credit to Regev, he stood his ground and pretty much ripped Riddell apart. Just shows what Brits are really thinking about this conflict

Where's the polls you claim there are then?
A.Li ,   HK   (01.16.09)
21. You speak only for yourself & your fellow weenies lurking...
in the coffeehouse, #4. With Obama, its becoming rather obvious the next few years are simply going to be a tired replay of the Clinton years, albeit with a great deal less finance to work with. Sorry, #4, you'll have to put all that silly fantasizing aside, for Obama is simply a product of the Chicago Machine, and like a well-trained politico, he's bowing to reality, and the hard, cold facts on the ground. "The Revolution" is deferred to some distant point in the future. Affairs will bang along in the same pattern they always have.
Cameron ,   USA   (01.16.09)
22. Again and again and again America saving Israel
Diplomats work together to prevent Security Council statement slamming Jewish state for UNRWA building strike,when Israel should be slammed ...Isn't a Mafia alike diplomats work.
George ,   Canada   (01.16.09)
23. and he was elected ...so the polls were right ..
rachel ,   usa   (01.16.09)
24. #4, "YIPPEEEEE?" All I can say is read 16 and get out of
the way when this cowboy 4 is thrown from his horse.
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (01.16.09)
25. 15, That's not what the poles said about Bush.
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (01.16.09)
26. What happened to the USA, Canada,Australia,
and New Zealand's mother country,Great Britain. She needs to be rescued from these invaders.The invaders had poisoned her.I hope she won't die from the deadly poison that was given her.Rescue her and save the queen and her kingdom.At least some of her people have common sense not to be poisoned by the invaders.Who's next?
Maria ,   MD   (01.16.09)
27. #7 WATCH IT! Give God the credit and not the
UK.It was prophesied that Israel will be born again.The rebirth of Israel was in 1948 when she became an independent nation.Thanks America also, President Truman, even though his mother-in-law was anti-semitic, he didn't listen to her.God has blessed America because of the Jewish people.
Maria ,   MD   (01.16.09)
28. Debra....Israel's existence
I found out Balfour was a Christian.Some people are ignorant of their Bible.They always give the credit to UK for the creation of Israel.They didn't know that God was behind it.Thank God for America also,until now USA stands for Israel.Even without their[countries]help, Israel will go on because God of Israel is with Israel and its people.
Maria ,   MD   (01.16.09)
29. The Jews/Israelis knew that their
forefathers were given huge lands,but they'e really longing for a land of their own,so they accepted the small piece of land that was given to them by the British.In reality,they had inherited more than that.Before the partition of the land between the Palestinians and the Jews,the Jews were offered a piece of land that majority of it was a desert area, the Palestinians were offered the fertile one,but they turned it down.Now who's suffering , their descendants.
Maria ,   MD   (01.16.09)
30. Arie....how many Christians are here in America
We're all behind Israel.
