US: Security Council might not debate Goldstone Report    Yitzhak Benhorin
1. You're To Blame Goldstone
Don't be saddened by the draft report Richard (or should we call you 'Dick' for short?), you just poured fuel onto the flames. I'm wonderind when we're going to see United Nations up on trial for Rwanda (in particular the incident at Ecole Technique Officielle, where the UN left unarmed Tutsi refugees to be butcher by Hutu rebels), and the break up of the Balkins, where the UN knew all to well what was going on, but just stood by. Also what about Russia in Chechnya, and South Ossetia, and also Sri Lanka's punishment of Tamils this year? Or does that not count, because Israel didn't have anything to do with it?

2. UN ignored Hamas
Just like you intended Mr. Goldstone.

3. Surprise!
The report did not mention Hamas. I'm absolutely sure that this came as a complete surprise to Mr. Gallstones.. NOT. If it did, in fact, come as a surprise to Gallstone, then we are led to conclude that his iQ is somewhere below 60. Of course, it did not come as a surprise, and he is a bald-faced liar.

4. Goldstone you reap what you sow
Mr. Goldstone you define yourself as a Zionist. Along with other Jews who had "good intentions" however misguided, this report and its propaganda use against the Jewish State will label you forever as a dupe who promoted hatred against our people.

5. What had you expected, Mr Goldstone?

6. Hmm
Oh, good! Looks like all the Jew-haters and Israel-bashers will have to put away their kazoos and stop handing out sweets. The United States will exercise its right of veto in the Security Council. So I think we can safely say that today's vote is rather like having a Congressional subcomittee approve the language of a proposed bill only to see the bill die in committee beforre ever reaching the floor of the Senate for debate. Gee, folks, I'm so sorry. Tell you what: Israel will buy all the balloons -- we'll need it for the celebration. Hey, better luck next time ... oh wait! There will be no "next time." Betcha it was fun while it lasted .... too bad -- as the saying goes, into each life, a little rain must fall.

7. Counter Attack on UN REQUIRED
We should immediately declare UN personnel persona non grata and refuse any and all relations including stopping ALL UN shipments to Gaza. This is the ONLY way to get any evenhandedness. If they do not see that their terrorist supporting actions are as counter productive as the terrorism they support, they will continue this one sided Israel bashing. Putting an immediate halt to all UN Activities and making them irrelevant is the ONLY way to put a stop to their terrorist support posture.

8. Proportionality
The UNHRC censure report was five pages long, about 10,000 words. The ratio of damage done by Israelis to Palestinians, measured in civilian deaths, civilian wounded, or property destruction, to that done by Palestinians to Israelis, was about 200 to 1. Therefore, to be entirely fair, the UNHRC censure should have had about 50 words condemning Gaza fighter forces for war crimes.

9. The USA and Israel should pull out of the UN.

10. Goldstone Duped
Goes to show how stupid a Judge can be...He was duped into incriminating and betraying his own people. In striving to be fair handed he has done his brethren in...Another "do gooder" out to destroy us. What do you think Mahmood?
Marvin ,   Sunny California   (10.17.09)
11. You should have only yourself to blame, Goldstone!!!
You were sent on a mission by a group of people that told you in advance, without having examined the facts, that Israel was guilty of war crimes. And those who sent you didn't mention the Palestinian Arab armed forces of Hamas. Why should they now mention Hamas, Mr. Goldstone? They didn't set out to find Hamas guilty. Their interest from the word "go" was to demonize Israel, to de-legitimize it, to expect it to live by standards not expected of others. You have only yourself to blame for assisting this sham theater against the Jew in society: Israel.

12. J'ACCUSE
MR. Goldstone,it is too late to apologize.

13. UNHRC = Kangaroo Court
Sorry Kangaroos

14. UNHRC Endorsers
Ayes: (25) Angola, Argentina, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Mauritius, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia. You 'forgot' to mention Hamas and now even Richard is upset with your 'findings'
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.17.09)
15. Goldstone, you've done your job and you were paid. Quiet now
You've been a good Jew, the kind of a Jew that everybody likes. You're a talented person that's why you were chosen for this job. Plus you can't be accused of anti-Semitism. But now you went over your head, just take the money and sit quietly while the big boys play ball. This is the payment for your last name decorating the report.

17. #14
#14 so youre confirming that Hamas is a legitimate govenrment?PA is not.thank you then. Q: why does the world listen more of israels whining rather then Hamas? A: Simply becoz right now, israel got caught red handed and peeing in his pants with his hands in his pants!
clockwerk ,   sg   (10.17.09)
18. To: No. 17
Only nations have governments. Israel doesn't whine. The thirty-odd Palestinian organizations do as much whining as anyone can stand. Israel got red-handed doing what? Protecting its citizens following eight years of daily missile barrages? Twenty years of suicide bombers infiltrating the border -- and murdering in excess of 1,000 civilians? Take YOUR hand out of your pants. You are becoming entirely too giddy and incoherent. (By the way -- if you are going to hang out with Islamofascists, that had better be your LEFT hand.)
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.17.09)
19. Sorry # 17
If my post was ambiguous. If you followed events closely you would have probably understood what I meant. I'll spell it out for you. These countries which endorsed Goldstone's report failed to mention anything about Hamas. In so doing, they made a lop-sided report completely lop-sided. Even Goldstone was upset with that..Capice?! As for 'israels whining' ...it's Israel's right to dismiss these false accusations..that's all. It's a propaganda war...for now at least. Put your emotions aside, wind your clock up, do your research properly and you'll see who are the real instigators. I suggest starting from 1917. Shalom

20. It's not a big deal. Israel just need to be more carefull
Next time. ,   Attack Iran soon.   (10.18.09)
