1. The US seems to think they have

the ability to influence the UN. Let's see where that goes. The UN appears intent upon its desire to castigate Israel at every turn. One has to be totally brain dead to think otherwise, based upon the UN,s open hostility at anyone or any organization that has the temerity to question its tactics. If the UN is so open & fair in its dealings, why does it not come right out & state this falicious document 4 what it is? A misaligned choriograph of Biblical proportions. Stating only than Israel is the only participant that carried out unaceptable actions. They totally overlook any action by the combined forces of the Pals. Ignore in totallity the UN. Israel has a natural right to protect its inhabitants & the moral right to eradicate any potential for future actions by stated annihilists of Israel to do similar damage to her. Who in their right mind would allow any antagonist to cause death & destruction to their homeland? I can only think of one such entity, based upon their stated comments. That would be the UN. Ignore them & live. Adhere to their suggestions will lead to your extermination. Don't end up like the family in Itamar, whose lives were extinguished by the perpetrators who had help & support of their communities families. The UN is not in place with the desire to assist Israel. Just the opposite. From all published reports it seems evident the UN is in place to facilitate the Pals. Her every action leads one to that conclusion. NO? Show where such is not the truth!! Do Not Trust The UN. They appear not your friend. Don't listen to the UN.

3. US asks UN to sheve Goldstone Report
Harold ,   USA   (04.22.11)
Ha Ha Ha Ha.
4. Shelve the UN.

5. A little short of the mark
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.22.11)
What the United States needs to do is withhold its funding of the United Nations until the Goldstone Report is repudiated. Thank you, U.S.Senate. This must have cost Ambassador Rice blood. She is NOT a friend of Israel, but we are, after all, in the run-up to the presidential election, and Obama needs the Jewish vote. It's a good thing we are smart and aren't fooled by the administration's easing of pressure on Israel. Obama likely took one look at his campaign coffers and his plummeting popularity and support among Jews -- traditionally the strongest backers of Democratic candidates -- and figured things out.
6. #1 RJK, I can see you've given this...
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.22.11)
Some serious thought, as should be the case. To add to your collection of info...and you probably don't need my help...I thought you might like this video. "Colonel Richard Kemp Challenges Goldstone Report.." Just copy and paste the above phrase in your address bar at the top of the page. It will take you to the video of Col.Richard Kemp, he spoke at the UN, in front of the HRC as an expert witness, of course his opinion was ignored. This is the video of that testimony. So when you used the term "misaligned... "Biblical proportions" etc., to describe how false the report was, I had to smirk, because you were so accurate. I just thought you would get a kick out of this, which confirms your description.
7. Dissolve the UN
Samuel ,   Yavne, Israel   (04.22.11)
As long as there is arab/muslim majority and of-course the world dependence on their oil there will never be justice in the UN
8. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.22.11)
Here are a few news flashes: 1. The United States is the principal funder of the United Nations. 2. The American people do not much care for the United Nations and do not think that the taxpayers should fund it. 3. The United States, and New York State and New York City, can end their tax-exempt status, and the tax-exempt status of the various missions to the United Nations. Oh, the United States very much has the ability to influence the United Nations. The will to do so is growing.
9. U.S. Magical Thinking
Ralphiesmom ,   Seattle, WA, USA   (04.22.11)
Thinks it can make the 1400 Gazans, including 300 children, who died in Cast Lead disappear. We will not forget, Congress. Pardon me, but your corruption is showing.
10. #9 - YOUR corruption shows if you don't admit...
L. Rose ,   Canada/US   (05.06.11)
... that Hamas (finally) confirmed the number of combatants to be what the Israeli investigation revealed. Your comment implies those are all civilian casualties - which they are not. You also forgot to mention that Hamas uses human shields which drives up civilian casualties - and that their constant rocket attacks led to Operation Cast Lead in the first place. All human life is precious - which is why the IDF takes great pains to achieve a far lower civilian to combatant death ratio than other armies. Just like the Goldstone Report - you fudge facts to create an anti-Israeli bias.
