121. #102: You are wrong Harold
Sherlok Holmes   (10.16.09)
Israel is knowingly paying for some of the posters. The "Internet warfare team” came to light when it's budget allocation of about $150,000 appeared in budget reports.
122. Thanks for so aptly illustrating the root psychosis
David ,   La Mesa   (10.16.09)
Wow, New Yorker, well done indeed. In just a few quick strokes you perfectly capture the spectrum of delusions --and the chuztahollc mindset-- that saddle certain groups of people in this world. (a) you assert the non-existence of human rights, and then asserting the insincerity of those who disagree. -- Well here's news for you: human writes are written into several charters and codes which are enthusiastically enforced, as violators are soon going to discover. (b) You think 'humanity is always out to get the jew' Perfect ! You are right -- in the same sense that "police are always out to get the criminals" !! Apparently it never occured to you that jews are considered part of humanity. Hence, you're subject to community standards. When people 'go after' jews, there is always a reason, as in this case, based on perceived malfeasance (whether accurately or not). (c) Jews must 'hit back disproportionately' Disproportionately. Thank you for proving my point right there !
123. UN 'Human Rights Council' silent as missiles fell.
Doug R. ,   Gwent, UK   (10.16.09)
If Israel had not, after much provocation, retaliated to the ten thousand missiles and mortars fired at it's civilians there would be no Goldstone report, or any intervention by the UN 'Human Rights Council' for that matter. Palestinian attacks could have continued carte blanche as far as the international community were concerned. The UN has showed itself to be a pro-Palestinian and rabidly anti-Israeli organisation that is always silent when Israelis are being targeted or killed but instantaneously vociferous whenever Israel defends itself against such atrocities. This is just more of the same. Moral fibre and integrity is lacking in Western leadership yet again as Israel is stabbed in the back by it's so called 'friends'.

You should lose respect to yourself first :dual loyalty (Israel firster). You are NO canadian
125. bias in bbc
Shachar ,   Israel   (10.16.09)
Below is the lead article in the BBC this evening. Notice the photo of Palestinian rocket launchers, in a forest, away from civilian populations...it is very misleading because one of the charges is that Israel is targeting civilians, when we know that Hamas typically uses 'civilian' as shields, as they fire at us from within dense urban civilian areas. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8310754.stm
126. SarahB show me your tax return you can omit
Unhappy american ,   Albany NY   (10.16.09)
the sensitive stuff ss number and address last name just want to see if you are really a tax payer or just taking advantage of our system that tolerate your likes
127. I too have lost all respect for the UN and its agencies, and
Markus ,   The Netherlands   (10.16.09)
I am from the Netherlands. This decision is truly disgusting. Even Goldstone does not like the resolution in which Hamas is not even mentioned.
128. to all anti israel here and around the world
shu ,   UK   (10.16.09)
this news only united all the israelis and jews all around the wolrd which mean we are indestructible race.
129. David in LaMesa
JB ,   CANADA   (10.16.09)
Well if it isn't Mr. Amateur Shrinkologist and his faulty logic. Give me a break! I'm holding my breath as to when the real human rights abusers will be punished, those homophobic, mysogynist, anti-Jewish, anti-Christian anti-Enlightenment muslims. If your favourite body the UN has anything to say, it will be never! Spare us the adolescent musings about human rights when you clearly are a little chid as far as intelligence and facts are concerned!
130. Shu of UK Indestructible race that condon
tea man ,   marjayoun   (10.16.09)
War crimes sounds like some body not long ago did it and now is history
131. UN should do same as Israel
Mr Siege   (10.16.09)
Put the entire region under siege until both, Palestians and Israelis come back to senses. If you think that isn't a workable solution or so unfair - don't try it on others.
132. #128: re: "news only united all the israelis and jews"
Ezra   (10.16.09)
Please include myself and probably Goldstone too. At best this united the war criminals as they have to fear now The Hague.
133. Marco, Spain
R. Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem   (10.16.09)
He Marco, glad to see you've got nothing better to do then to read Israeli websites. You must have a real interesting life. Maybe you're paid by pals or something. Glad to see we're even giving the spaniards employment.
134. Robert, a shameful fool you are.
Noor ,   Palestine   (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" Thank you for prematurely replying to my posts. All of your gloating is without relevance to either my posts or the reality of contemporary middle eastern politcs. I wholly appreciate you desperately attempting to embarass yourself. Assalamu Alaikum
135. Thanks Mr. Goldstone
Arturo Himmelman ,   Mexico City, Mexico   (10.16.09)
The Goldsstone Report shows two things, firts that the UN is an Anti/Israel Body, and the second is that Mr. Goldstone is a NAIVE
136. Unfortunately no more moderate voice available in Israel
Raya ,   US   (10.16.09)
Unfortunately all the talkback does shows that there is no more moderate voice available in Israel....a group of religious fanatic nationalistic people now dominate that great country (like their Arabs cousins in their neighboring countries)…nobody ask this question why at all ... this Gladstone report came at first point .....it because of the fact ...that ..Israel as a country is acting as a occupying force.... occupying illegally a group of other people (Palestinian) and put them in hardship...and that’s the main cause.....why don’t Israel rectify them first....and then criticize Palestenian/Hamas/UN and others...truly nobody in the world claim that what Hamas did was proper...but everybody knows that desperate people without any hope always does desperate thing....in that case the main responsibilities lies in the hand of Israel...not on UN or else....unfortunately late Mr. Itzak Rabin understood that thing but all this fanatics didnt allow him to finish the job....which could have been make Israel more secure, strong and a vibrant modern democracy that stay side by side peacefully with its neighbors....
137. 68...you are a liar...Israel occupys no land but her own
Team Sarah   (10.16.09)
and you know it. They attacked...Israel won. International law stipulates that under such circumstances the victor owns the land. Stop rewriting history and only utilizing international law when you are able to twist it enough to suit your purposes.
138. I can't believe Norway abstained! News to me
Alan ,   Norway   (10.16.09)
Saudi Arabia, China get to vote on Human Rights stuff! That's a break through
139. Hey Israelis, wanna go for a ride?
Nour ,   Palestine   (10.16.09)
Israel's prosecution is only beginning! It will be one hell of a ride. Oh, and don't fasten your seatbelts! Criminals and criminal states will meet justice. The world is on our side, keep weeping and playing victim, nobody believes you anymore. Nothing will unsettle this momentum unless Palestinians are accorded their FULL human and political costs, including our return to our home, our homeland PALESTINE and raising our flag over Jerusalem, eternal capital of Palestine.
140. Phase 1: Completed.
BDS ,   Central Command   (10.16.09)
141. #1 I salute you from Palestine! Justice is coming
Nour ,   Palestine   (10.16.09)
142. Unhappy american, you phony
Sidney ,   USA   (10.16.09)
Show your tax returns before making such a preposterous request of Sarah.
143. Raya
jb ,   Canada   (10.16.09)
I wonder why, Raya? For decades all the Jews wanted was peace, to be left alone awi were willing to sacrifice a lot. They returned the Sinai they built universities for Arabs in the West Bank They gave back Gaza. And every time they made a concession they were met with violence. The Arabs never used the same yardstick to measure Jewish actions as they did for their fellow muslims, nor did the world. The Muslims always want more because what they really want is the destruction of Israel and the Jews. No country is going to committ suicide no matter how much the Arabs or anyone else wants it. Arab hostility, outright Judeophobia have finally convinced even many of those left of centre that there is no real partner for peace. And those great democracies and human rights supporters like Cuba, Sudan, Iran, Venezuala, Cuba, and all those freedom loving dictatorships would be just as to see Israel disappear. Its time for Jew to defend themselves against hatred and people who espouse it like those creepazoids here, Noor, Atilla, Marco Observer, world citizen all bigoted brain dead Jew haters! The last time the Jews tried to be moderate and said everything will be fine. We should just be nice, 6 million perished. So its no more Mr. Nice Guy, Raya. You goyim try to exterminate us and destroy Israel then complain why we're not nice and moderate. Why should we be.
144. #116 This the first time I post
Unhappy american ,   albany NY   (10.16.09)
145. I am shocked by some one who claim to be
Unhappy american ,   albany NY   (10.16.09)
holding a humane profession (attorney) and married to a medic who preform surgery another humane profession why in the world should be engulfed in a sadistic view of the world well it rings a bell some people escape from EU but EU didnot escape from them and thats said it all right!
146. 102 You're a foolish bore...leave our Sarah alone
Team Sarah   (10.16.09)
She's right as rain! am Israel chai
147. SaraB is one of the best Ynet posters of all time,
Alan ,   SA   (10.16.09)
148. How about a proper and independent investigation by Israel?
Banana Republic   (10.16.09)
I don't expect that Hamas is capable of doing that but for Israel it is high time to have a good look into their own closet if they want to continue calling their system a democracy with law and order. A properly governed state must investigate such allegations of war crimes seriously (and that can only be by an independent commission) or it won't be taken any longer seriosuly.
149. #137 "Israel won" ?!
Realist   (10.16.09)
What Israel really won was a few million Palestinians. Now what to do with them? Stop them multiplying? Ok, keep the land, but don't forget that comes with the Palestinians on it! Glad to know you are supporting a one-state solution. Or is it an Apartheid state that you have in mind?!
150. No 137, Partially right: Israel no longer occupies Gaza
Corrector   (10.16.09)
