WHY WAS THE UNITED NATION SILENT WHEN THE FLOTILLA WAS SAILING TOWARDS ISRAEL ? IT IS NOT THAT THE INTELIGENCE OF THE UN COULD NOT EVELUATE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE INFILTRATION OVER THE BLOCKADE ? WHY DIDNT THE UN INTERVENE AT THE STAGE BEFORE THE CRISIS ? UNITED NATION WAS SLEEPING AS USUAL !!!! NOW THEY TALK ABOUT INVESTIGATION ? THIS CRISIS SHOULD NOT HAV E HAPPENED AT ALL IN THE FIRST PLACE! WHO IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND WOULD ALLOW A SOVERIGN NATION TO BE INFILTATED. TURKEY INFILTATED ISRAEL. AND THE UNITED NATION OBSERVERS STOOD STILL WATCHING THE INFILTARTION IN SUCCESSION AND COMMISSION ! THE UNITED NATION HAVE ALL THE WHILE BEEN DOING THIS KIND OF OBSERVATION TACTIC ! THAT IS WHY ISRAEL MUST KEEP UP HER NATIONAL SECURITY TIP TOP AND SMASH THE ISLAMIST TERRORIST. IT IS ALL A CAUSE AND EFFECT. ISLAMIST CAUSE TROUBLE THE EFFECT ISLAMIST MUST BE WIPED OUT ! ISRALIS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFENT THEIR NATION, LAND AND THEIR CITIZEN ! BEN SINGAPORE

The first thing Israel politicos are going to say is that Helen Clark objected to Israel's stealing of NZ passports and identities. What should she have done ? Helen Clark has always been renowned as taking the middle option so there is no doubt she would be impartial. But then maybe thats not what Israel wants.

The UN is completely unreliable to conduct any independent inquiry free of political bias as judged by all its past performances. May be they will use an investigator from North korea, a Cuban minister as an expert of detainees rights, and the South Africa president as an expert on Women rights; All of them good Palestinian supporters.

Greenpeace activist harpooned by tuna fishermen (AFP) – 1 day ago june 04, 2010 PARIS — A Greenpeace activist trying to free tuna from a commercial fishing net in the Mediterranean on Friday was harpooned through the leg by fishermen on a French boat, the environmental group said. "In a non-violent action, Greenpeace activists in zodiac boats attempted to lower the side of a purse seine net with sand bags to free the fish," said Isabelle Philippe of Greenpeace France. "At that moment, fishermen violently attacked the activists, harpooning one of them through the leg," she told AFP by phone. The injured man, a British national identified by the group as Frank Huston, was transferred to a hospital in Malta where he was to undergo surgery Friday evening. "His life is not threatened, but he is in serious condition," Philippe said. The fishing ship, the Jean-Marie Christian VI, was one of several French tuna vessels in the area when the attack occurred in international waters near Malta, she added. Several boats surrounded the zodiacs, threatening them with knives attached to long poles and some of the fishermen also fired flare guns at a Greenpeace helicopter hovering overhead to monitor, Greenpeace said in a statement. A French navy vessel was seen arriving in the area after the clash had ended, the statement added.

You are going to either get Goldstone mk 2 or people screaming whitewash. Answer this question under exactly what circumstances would Erdogan "Wow, you are right, I WAS talking out my backside"

mr. ba ki moon. go investigate north korea raid and order the UN army to take possession of the nuclear sites to stop proliferation. THEN come to us and worry about a territory that lives but its terrorist policies.

The raid is not the real issue at stake here. The real issue is the Turkish provocation but he will never investigate it.

We Israelis should agree to an international inquiry on the events that lead up to our soldiers killing 9 violent Turks in self defense IF the Turks and the UN agree to conduct an international inquiry on them committing genocide against the Armenians and if they agree to pay reparations for the slaughter of 1,500,000 men, women and children (the biggest Muslim genocide of non-Muslims in hisorty!). Additionally, let's have the Turks first agree to granting the Kurds complete autonomy, end the ONGOING illegal occupation of the 'Turkish part' of Kurdistan as well as the illegal occupation of Cyprus! Let's also discuss the Turks giving reparations to the Kurds and the Christian Cypriots in addition to the Armenians. Then what about the Turks paying us Israelis reparations for their illegal invasion, occupation and colonization of our country from 1516 until 1917?! While the UN is at it, let's demand an international inquiry of the ONGOING Muslim genocide of non-Muslim Sudanese! And what about establishing an international inquiry against the Syrians’ and Iranians’ illegal occupation and persecution of the Kurds in their respective ‘parts’ of Kurdistan?! And, of course, there is that 'little matter' of the Iranians threatening genocide and total extermination of the Jews in Israel... Couldn’t we ask the UN to establish an international inquiry on that as well? And of course, we could throw a UN committee on the persecution of Jews in the Middle East and North Africa by Muslims from the seventh century to the present which culminated in nearly complete ethnic cleansing of Jews from Muslim-dominated countries and the emigration of Jews from those countries. What about discussing at the UN reparations for the loss of life, property and livelihood in this little matter the culminated in the Jewish Refugee Problem in my lifetime and in my family. Why not?! Let's talk! Let's establish a couple of interesting international inquiries!!

but neglects every other aspect of what they've been created to do. the world has not an honest soul left at the helm and when that occurs, all hell breaks loose...

Will this committee consist of the same diplomats as the UN commission looking into the sinking of the S Korean ship? Oooops, sorry about that, the UN is never interested in anything they can't blame on Israel. I forgot that for a moment.

What an idiotic waste of time!!! Israel was justified from embargo, to interception, to using deadly force (hell this is the same thing cops do if they are pounded on with metal rods, clubs, knives,etc)!!!! Remember the commandos used paintball guns and sidearms...did not carry assualt rifles as they thought they were dealing with "peaceful" activists!!! Had they carried assault rifles (they should have), there'd be around 30 people who deserved to die, dead!! These weirdos brainwash their children to yearn for martyrdom, then instigate, provoke and confront to get their wish. When they get their death wish they start howling unfair. Psychologists, psychiatrist and mental health professionals ought to study this demented state of existence. UN go investigate why N. Korea is shooting torpedoes at ships and killing 43 non-combatants/cadets in an ACT OF WAR! That would be something actually useful!

its a joke that new Zealand to be on the inquiring panel. they are very naive nations when it comes to world politics ? but I must say they are very good in cooking fuch and chups and rugby!!

Its strange that Ban Ki-Moon and the UN always ready to criticize Israel but they never condemned North Korea for sinking a South Korean Navy ship. There is not investigation being suggested or a UN Security Council Resolution being drawn up. Millions are starving in North Korea and UN does nothing. Someone should investigate the UN for its behavior, I am tired of my tax dollars going to support this organization.

The video evidence against the terrorists and Turkey is so compelling, and the fact that Israel acted in full compliance with international law, plus the obvious fact that the ships turned down Israel's offer to unload the "aid" (out of date medicine, unneeded food and wheelchairs) and send it to Gaza where, in the event, they refused to accept it, will make Israel's case as clear as daylight. Just for once, I hope the idiots running Israel's PR and foreign policy don't miss this opportunity to turn the tables on the Turks and the ISM etc. crowd.

If Bibi and the government agrees to this something is terrible wrong with Israelis politicians both Left and Right .They are either on the take from foreign governments or agents. No country would sacrifice their sovereignty in this matter. http://israelprotect.blogspot.com

Each step is digging a hole for Israel absolutely not. Where is our independence where is our ability to defend ourselves. Barak and the United States are working against Israel fight back for god sake it won't end if you succumb to appeasement. http://israelprotect.blogspot.com

Another act of appeasement what a joke. The Israeli government seems to work for Obama not for the Israeli people. Peres works for the EU and Obama not the Israeli people. http://israelprotect.blogspot.com

This has gotten way out of hand. Bibi has to channel some inner Sharon and tells all the idiots where they can stuff it!

Israelis / Jews, please oppose to this unjustified proposal from Ban & to any choice of a New Zealander to lead it. This is particulalry a New Zealander who has been associated with the NZ left wing for so long, as ex-New Zealand PM Geoffrey Palmer is. The left wing in NZ is generally not in support of Israel. This is not to mention that in light of the Turkey's response & its move closer to radcal Islam, any Turk on that inquiry team will be a total waste of time & resources. Do not cooperate Israel, we dd nothing wrong!

Helen Clark - the former NZ prime minister that Ban is suggesting - is lethal. The present NZ government has spent most of the past year undoing her legislation. It was all radical far-left stuff that nearly brought the country to its knees. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of the raid, this woman should not be given that job. It's my bet that she is standing behind Ban twisting his arm to demand an enquiry, and that she should head it. She's been at a loose end since being forced out of office and is eagerly looking for fame at the UN.

is spinning in his grave, wondering how his country became everything it despised, fascist, racist, and ultraviolent. He almost saved the country, sadly, its demise has begun. People of Israel, please accept what you did was wrong, what you do is wrong, change your policy, get rid of your leaders, move on. ENOUGH!

The title should read "UN wants international blood libel against Israel

what do they want to achieve by invastigating the whole affair ? They should ask the turkish PM why he sent those terrorists on a ship towards Israel, instead of demanding the leaders of the arab countries to recognise Israel as a state among the other states, and to condemn the terrorists in the Gaza strip about the rockets the send everyday towards Israel.

what about inquiry in civilian killings in Afghanistan???? Hypocrite......

yes there should be an inquiry a thorough one at the least starting with erdogan and his governments involvement and support with known terrorist organizations and their deliberate incitement to hate the Jewish nation

Ban wants an investigation, that is just lovely. However, 1 if the UN is involved the conclusion is we are at fault before the investigation even starts, so why bother, just condem us again and move on

a North Korea's torpedo. Has the UN Chief demanded an inquiry? Has he brought the matter to the Security Council? Aren't we dealing here with standards demanded of the Jewish state which are not demanded by others...??!!

If the Holocaust was "now " (or ending) there would be NO enquiry by the UN only aceptance.
