1. Blatant one sided diplomatic assault on Israel as usual ..
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (02.26.10)
who accounts for the unrepentent terrorists hamass? Another UN tragic mistake for the world!
2. It is Time that Israeli Learns from Iran
Umm El Kul Naqba   (02.26.10)
Trying to work within UN is totally pointless. The sole mission of the UN is to bash Israel. Israel's playing along only legitimizes the farce and encourages the UN and Arabs to laud the terrorists while taunting and demeaning Israel's humanitarian efforts. In the meantime, Iran has thumbed its nose at the UN and gets away with nuclear enrichment toward weapons grade, development of long range missiles to deliver the nuclear weapons, terrorist expansion by conquering Lebanon, and clear and unequivocably threatening the existence of Israel. We should state that since our efforts of avoiding civilian casualties has cost us an unacceptable number of casualties, and the responsibility lies squarely on the Terrorists who launched 10,000 rockets at us, future terrorist actions will result in execution and the forcible expulsion of those responsible along with their extended families/Hamulot. If we are damned no matter what we do, then lets really piss them off and do it right and fully to show them that their actions are just as counter-productive as the terrorists who caused their own strangulation with the Intifada terror that they started. Our existence, our country, our land, our people are not negotiable. We saw how the countries of the world defended us during the Holocaust when it was a hidden agenda. Now that the same agenda is advocated publicly by HAMAS Charter and Iran, we must respond in kind and let all know that if we are attacked, we will respond with an existential threat. In the case of Gaza, as they extend the range of their rockets, we will extend the range of the buffer zones we require for our safety by permanently clearing land of places to shoot from (ie building, structures, and trees) until their are no buildings or people left in Gaza. Iran has mastered the art of Disregard the UN and thumbing their noses, it is time we learn from them.

Shalev tells so many lies, that if she had hair, it would curl.
4. This is why the nations cannot be trusted.
Steve Klein   (02.26.10)
The same thing happened before and during the Holocaust. The nations did not want to do anything to help the Jews. Thus they did nothing to help Europe's Jews. Eventually, they fought to save their own skin. Same holds true today. The international community will restrain Israel from defending herself until Iran attempts to annihilate the Jewish state, just as it is threatening to do. As the nations thought they could appease Hitler by sacrificing the Jews, so it is today with Iran.
5. This is a good thing.Nations are lining up&declaring their
hate 4 Israel.Judge ,   ment will be easy.   (02.26.10)
6. LIKE THE GOLDSTONE REPORT, UN GA RESOLUTIONS ARE HIGH FARCE
stude ham   (02.26.10)
ok bkm... just sit there and wait for the indicated reports... and wait ... and wait... and wait... the arabs helped to destroy the UN. which is why the UN no longer can function as intended.
7. When Does The UN NOT Pass Arab Desires?
Ezra ,   Los Angeles USA   (02.26.10)
When doe the UN NOT pass any Arab legislation against Israel? The UN is completely biased against Israel and the 'automatic majority' ensures this. Israel should leave the UN and form its own alliances with friendly nations and ignore the rest. GO ISRAEL!!! ENOUGH WITH THE WORLD'S HATRED OF THE JEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. Pack your valises it's time to leave Occupied land Palestine
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.26.10)
9. but, who will execute the murderer?
observer   (02.26.10)
that is why there shouldn't be a court of justice for the murder case.
10. Whatever we do we are wrong
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.26.10)
So we should have hit gaza and destroyed large sections as well as the population. Maybe the enemies of Israel will learn to fear us again and leave us alone.We would still be blamed, but Jews are denied the right of self defense and stupid Jews endanger civilians and soldiers to protect the enemy.
11. UM SHMUM
Dan   (02.26.10)
So Ben Gurion was right after all!
12. fake passport
Dan   (02.26.10)
Who is investigating the use of the fake passport by the Hamas terrorist killed in Dubai? The Palestinian Authority? The Arab League? Or maybe Nasrallah?
13. pals don't need to investigate - results will be the same
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.26.10)
they never do anything wrong, it's always israel's fault for what they do and everything that happens. there's your palestinian report.
14. Support dropped
Ilene ,   Washington, USA   (02.26.10)
Support for Israel on this resolution dropped from 18 countries to 7 countries.
15. #8 - in your dreams
Eyal ,   USA   (02.26.10)
It's time to end the charade. Kill all the sub-humane, barbaric, animals called Parasites, I mean Palestinians that are occupying Gaza and the West Bank, who live in our land, supported by our people. The UN and all the Arabs will forget they even existed in 30 days. This will end all the fighting in the Middle East.
16. report
DanLondon ,   London   (02.26.10)
people really should take the trouble to read the Goldstone Report; it is one of the best scripts since 'Friends' was on TV. I read it fully expecting to take a hard look at myself, and my support for Israel. Instead, I read 500 or so pages of barely disguised one-sided rubbish (only 20 of those pages dedicated to Hamas' 7 years of rocket attacks). I particularly love sections which said 'could find no evidence that mosques were used to hide weapons' (erm, look on youtube), and no evidence that Hamas deliberately operated within civilian areas (a statement saying as much by a Hamas leader was quoted, but said that this could not be taken as evidence). High farce
17. Tayfun, pack your valises, it`s time to leave Constantinople
Yosi   (02.26.10)
18. Mr. Richar Muhammad
(02.26.10)
19. So if eliminating Israel would eliminate terror would it be
worth it ,   ?   (02.26.10)
20. Tayfun, Its time...
jb ,   Canada   (02.26.10)
to pack your brain and take your head out of your ass!
21. Thans Lieberman it would be impossible without you!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.26.10)
That is another diplomatic victory thanks to Lieberman. He easily managed to arise hostility and unease even in previously Israel-friendly countries If he was Prime Minister, Middle east would be very clean and tidy place!
22. UN=country club for world 's dictators...kick it out
rachel ,   usa   (02.27.10)
It serves no purpose other than assault Israel .....what have they done for Haiti?
23. #21 Tayfun
Hal ,   Usa   (02.27.10)
You know Tayfun I'm trying really hard to not laugh at your patetic posts but you are makin it hard not to. You think Lieberman is a problem but if I were you I might be packing a valise for when your boy Erdogan is hanged as a traitor to Attaturk by your military. I would avoid Germany as they are getting restless with you guys! When Germany gets restless, well you know the history!
24. To Tayfun in Turkey
California Bear ,   Berkeley, California   (02.27.10)
What's Palestine? Please educate since you're speaking of a place that's never existed in the history of mankind other than a name that is derived from the ancient Philistines to describe the ancient land of Israel and Judah. What's a "Palestinians"? A potpourri of other Arab peoples that decided to concoct and entire culture and history in the 20th century.
25. occupied???
alan ,   texas   (02.26.10)
There is no Palestinian arab land. never was and never will be. ITS ALL ISRAEL!
26. The real question is who will investigate the Israelis?
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.27.10)
The Israeli's sure aren't doing it. The pap they've put out so far, well, it's just that, pablum for their locals who already believe.
27. Thanks UN, on to the ICC
Bill ,   USA   (02.27.10)
Yes, thanks UN GA for standing up to human rights and denouncing war crimes. Please send the Goldstone Report to the ICC at The Hague. Justice should be served.
28. Congratulation Israel ,you are in the right track !!
Sami ,   Lebanon   (02.27.10)
Is not hard to guess who are the 7 opposed. America and its Green Buck whores, Check Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania . Britain, the historic ally and possibly France Sarkozi taking into account the Jewish roots of both Mr.Sarkozi and Koushnair.The conclusion is ZERO fair, legal or moral support for Israel. Congratulation , Israel is in the right track of self isolation.
29. Move the UN to iran where it belongs.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.27.10)
30. IDF investigations just as fake as passports
Alitar ,   Paldora   (02.27.10)
