31. Is there a policy even if it's an ambiguous one for MK's.
(04.06.11)
"The reason Israel didn't cooperate with Goldstone in the first place was the fact that unlike other judges he agreed to head a committee whose actual mandate was to blame Israel for war crimes," one state official said. Goldstone may have been the one who was falsely judged. What's to say his attitude wouldn't have been the same then if he had the chance to know what he knows now? He's recounted previous presumptions. Eli Yishai is being treated unfairly and it wouldn't be justice to just standby and see this without giving some input. He's not a demon. Goldstone is taking heat now from the Palestinians and if he tries to go through the steps to resubmit a report, it's still questionable how he will word it so that it can all be true, fair and balanced. People are not stupid. If anyone is going to be trying to get anything over on anybody, it'll only perpetuate ill-feelings and maybe even thoughts or actions of retribution.
32. yshai is a fool! he tries to appease haredim and does when..

Goldstone shows a grain of intellectual honesty yshai immediately treats him as israel best friend. This man is most certainly not a capable minister of interior! Him and his party fail to present a positive jewish influence on the government anyway. if i was a religious zionist i would be ashamed of him
33. "Yishai under fire"
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (04.06.11)
Judging by the title, I first thought Eli moved to Sderot.
34. Forgive us our trespasses
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.06.11)
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
35. Protect all those who defend Isael

36. Who the f... is running this country.
Sammy ,   Rehovot   (04.06.11)
37. Maybe he should invite Ahmedinjad too and convince him as
Mea   (04.06.11)
He could invite all the anti-semites in Brittain and have them over so he can show them how nice he is and therefore every Israeli. It has nothing to do with grave diplomatic consequences, only that if Yishai could sooth his feelings all would be well. This is the guy who turned down eight fire trucks because he is tired of Chrisitans buying political influence but he has never made a serious hard stand on it because his own party would go broke w/o the funding pouring out of fundamentalist "end dayers" US bank accounts and into the Israel accounts of the Jews who put Yishai into power. Hilarious. Maybe he can have the whole U.N over for Pessah.
38. He did not consult anyone?
Steve   (04.06.11)
This is lunacy!
39. Brian Cohen #21: Good grief man!
Steve   (04.06.11)
Abraham opened his tents to guests; to friends. Not to traitors and enemies. Why are you convinced Judge Goldstone has repented? Because his freind says he could not sleep at night after he slandered his own people, Israel? Hashem has kept me awake at night when I sinned. So? Why should we trust this Jew? I don't trust him. Not yet. He has an incredible amount of work to do. Why do you trust him? Are you in the habit of turning the other cheek when someone smakes the h-ll out of you?
40. WTF
CIMA ,   USA   (04.06.11)
This is so F--UP. Every one in this country act on his own. Alcoholic Lieberman is in a world of himself, President P. do not care just want to be in the picture. BIBI can not say no to his wife who is by the way running the country when she has spare time after abusing the help. and finally this religious nut, it is KAFKA cuntry.
41. #40, Well, Kafka was jewish, so... lol
Yossef   (04.06.11)
42. Who's running the country ?
jo   (04.06.11)
Very good question. If today is wednesday, it must be Yishai. As far as tomorrow is concerned , god will provide. A hell of a way to run a railroad. This Yishai is only one example of the buffoonery indulged by our lawmakers who have ample time to create mischief. How a character like yishai managed to get a ministry is not a mystery; it's pure perversion
43. #17; Abu, WRONG, ALL POINTS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.06.11)
Actually the report was based on "Cherry Picked" information. They accepted all evidence they vilified Israel, and ignored all evidence that supported Israel. One of the Council members had made statements prior to the beginning of the UN meetings, she stated Israel was guilty, before hearing any evidence. As we SEE HERE: "Colonel Richard Kemp Challenges Goldstone Report." Simply copy and paste this phrase in your address bar at the top of the page. It will take you to a VIDEO, Col. Richard Kemp testifying in front of the Human Rights Council at the UN. Prove that anything he states is wrong? So far I've posted this many times, not once has it been proved wrong. So for you Abu Jihad...Mr. Violence, I guess...the CASE is CLOSED. Your now proven wrong. As for your advice, your leaders already turned down the 67 border offer. With about a 5%-7% land swap. When you say: "before it's too late", for what? Your leaders already admitted they cannot defeat Israel militarily. Again CASE CLOSED.
