61. Barak and General Askhinazi ARE GONE
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (10.16.09)
They will soon face international War Crimes Tribunal And USA will not save you because Obama was obstructed with a Peace Prize You cannot expect a Nobel Peace Prize Winner to protect war criminals
62. Boycott the UN and all its resolutions
Cynic #2   (10.16.09)
Especially the resolutions that gave the creation of Israel 'legitimacy'. The UN has always been a mickey mouse body controlled by the big boys anyways.
63. SarahB(1st try)
Alex ,   Stockholm-Sweden   (10.16.09)
American money is also drained when it comes to giving israel 3 billion USD a year. Why do american tax payers have to pay for israel's military adventure?? PS: your not happy with the way things are going?make aliyah(I'm sure alot of your fellow jews would be happy to have you in israel)
64. Belgium: 40% of students are Muslims
Europe is being ,   destroyed!   (10.16.09)
Islam is taking over Europe
65. Justice Now!!!
Nobel   (10.16.09)
A victory for humanity. I don't question the right of self-defense of Israel but anything beyond that must be prosecuted, including Hamas. The war criminals on both sides must be brought to justice. Israel failed miserably to investigate their own wrong doings.
66. Wow, I didn't expect such a clear vote
John   (10.16.09)
For the sake of Israel I hope it will immediately carry out its own but independent investigation to rebuild some credibility.
67. #10 Sarah: " 17 million murdered noncombatants..."
Einstein   (10.16.09)
Since you are trying to relativate the crimes of Israel with the high number of other murdered civilians around the world, then Hamas must probably walk free according to your own bizare logic of justice. How many got killed by Hamas rocket fire again?
68. 10-Sarah: Pointing finger at others is no excuse own crimes
Samson   (10.16.09)
In particular not when those occupation crimes go on for more than 40 years already.
69. #2 "Time to get out of U.N." Yes, relocate to The Hague
Stop war criminals   (10.16.09)
70. #10 started with the worst, then comes the worse & the bad
observer   (10.16.09)
71. Waste of time
cas reader   (10.16.09)
I am not too worried about the report. It will be vetoed eventually by USA. Furthermore, there is no Western country which will indict any Israeli government official. The Palestinians will NEVER have their own state.
72. Goldstone Report UN Endorse
kevin j lee ,   Glasgow,UK   (10.16.09)
Well! chickens have come home to roost,Hamas! have got their Victory!,why else would someone with less Fire Power,keep on Striking,Its true Israel had to respond,to invade was I beleive correct,but Israel should! have been wiser,and not responded to strikes within Gazza,until they knew where such Rockets were coming from,to respond as if one was in a Duel on Main street?a folly.Now Israel should admit that peace is impossible,in the present format.Life for the Palastinians,has to to be close to being Unbearable,also for Israeli"s life is far from being Free! more invasive than most Countries in the Free World,a fact that no-one ever comments on,the disfigurement of the State is Heartbreaking,I am Positive that to Coin a phrase,the elders of Israel are weeping in Heaven.How did Israel get an Army,because of attacks by Palastinians on The Settlements(Kibbutz) hence the Palmach,way before a State was a Reality. Kevin J Lee.
73. they are the same!!!!!!!!!!
ale ,   Italia   (10.16.09)
"Both Israel and Hamas have rejected the charges in the Goldstone Report, which is most critical of the Jewish state" everyone in world knows the true! israel and hamas are two similar terroristic organizations... journalist knows it too. both hamas....israel! THIS IS THE TRUE!
74. #13
ben Ish   (10.16.09)
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE SHOOTING ROCKETS AT INNOCENT CIVILIANS. Keep it up and there will not be dozens of houses destroyed, but THOUSANDS next time. If you don't like your people being killed THEN STOP SHOOTING.
75. to everyone else
ben Ish   (10.16.09)
As I have said many times, the conclusion has been made that war is inevitable, and therefor all powers now work towards an Iranian first strike. This report is but a small part of it. Pushing talks and deadlines back every week is another part of it. Telling everyone "oh, we want to stop Iran" are just lies to keep you calm. Russia declines now to sell m-300 defense to Iran because they want Iran to on attack first instead of relying on defending from attack. Every day they build up a false case in world opinion against Israel. This is so that no one will insist on counter-attack against Iran when they finally launch MRBM's.
76. Noor, who calls himself
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (10.16.09)
"Palestinian" and calls Palestinians "his people" does not reside in Gaza nor Samaria nor Judea. In fact, after analyzing his various commentaries from a linguistic perspective, it's obvious that he resides in England. Probably he's not even an Arab but an English academic, probably a graduate student or in law school. His various renderings make it obvious that he has no knowledge whatsoever about the socio-cultural conditions in the mideast. So Readers, don't take this guy seriously at all! And incidentally, look how all the Israeli bashers come out of the woodwork, gloating while Israel is besmirched in the international community. Nonetheless, do not despair as many of these nations have yet to face the full impact of Arab terrorism as we have.
77. To: #13 Ismael
Good   (10.16.09)
We are not your cousins buddy and we have nothing in common with you and your people. You are the enemy. You can whine about the damage done to you by the IDF but it was coming your way for a long time due to your insistence on attacking Israeli civilians for years. Why didn’t you complain about these attacks? Why didn’t you stop the murders of innocents in Israel? Why don’t you complain about the vicious murders of over 80,000 of your Iraqi cousins by Muslim terrorists? Why don’t you complain about the murders of thousands of innocent cousins of yours by Muslim Terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Why don’t you seek justice for your cousins in Somalia that where killed by other Muslim cousins of yours? You may be able to fool the rotten UN for a while but you can‘t fool us. You guys celebrated in the streets on September 11TH and you celebrated in the streets when Saddam took over Kuwait but it turned against you, didn’t it? Go celebrate now as long as you can because as usual you’ll end up being the loser, yet again.

dani   (10.16.09)
you forgot sri lanka, where the army killed tens of thousands on the beaches in the last few days of that war. why is it that the war in chechynya and sri lanka, darfur and etc are over, but the israeli-palestinian war continues. its because the russians and sri lankans and sudanese etc really committed massacres and got away with it, while the israelis are accused of one (the russians would have leveled gaza like they leveled grozny). justice isn't justice if it only chooses to prosecute one side and protect the others. its just another weapon in the war of a weaker side against a stronger side. weak does not mean good.
80. 27 said like a typical ilamofacist...LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
(10.16.09)
U terrorists are all the same. Your attitude is: I'm going to kill you and if you try to do anything about it, I'm going to KILL you. LOL you crack me up. Here's hoping you arrive to the virgins soon...by natural causes...of course. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Deb ,   London, ON Canada   (10.16.09)
Sudan, in short, all the peace loving countries on earth and the ones that uphold human rights in their daily affairs will vote for him to become the next Secretary General of the UN. He must be very, very pleased. But one thing, in the process he has caused millions worldwide to finally realize that the UN is a joke; that this organization has no credibility and holds no values worth the while of decent people anywhere. The UN has become a disgrace.
85. Ismail-I read Ynet everyday-I never saw yr post about Sderot
Alan ,   SA   (10.16.09)
You should go round to Hamas HQ and complain why they pulled Wolf's Tail for 8 000 Rockets. I'm very pleased that Israel stopped Rockets at least . Now Iran money should go to rebuilding only if Gazans feel Hamas wont start again with trhis lampost Rockets. Great opportunity to rebuild Gaza as Singapore of ME as Arafat promised . But I fear Hamas will forget.
86. DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO ME.........#38
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.16.09)

89. To the "Choosen People"
Ali ,   Washington DC   (10.16.09)
God gave you commandments not a blank check to break them. If Israelis have any integrity they would/should welcome this report and welcome this investigation as in the end it will only serve to correct those of you who went astray.
90. get the ropes fast before turkey join EU
turkman ,   istanbol   (10.16.09)
