61. Its normal...
Marco ,   Spain   (06.18.11)
If the shoe fits, wear it...
62. We really should not care....
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (06.18.11)
... what this abjectly evil "organisation" does. The UN is attempting to impose a one-world dictatorship over the human race. The UN is not an elected gov't. The majority of the UN technocrats creating world policy are appointed by their peers, with an agenda to subvert the will of the people of the free democratic world. The farce of arab democracy is a placebo for the arab masses. Let them elect their little local rulers, subject to the overriding will of the unelected UN. We must get out of this evil organisation asap....others will follow Israel.
63. This is repulsive.
Addee ,   USA   (06.18.11)
It's hard for me to fathom how the majority of the WORLD are uneducated and/or inhumane. Why is the world being ruled by people without rules?
64. Only the US, Canada and Palau supported Israel!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (06.18.11)
This shows the true face of France, the UK and Germany! I assume they were part of the UN voting body. Even if they abstained, it shows how these countries are solely driven by their interests and not by principles of justice. I am proud of my government!
65. to #19
A ,   Belgium   (06.18.11)
As you come from a country that can only dance when the puppet masters...Syria, Hizbollah, Iran...pull your strings, maybe you should indeed study history as Sarah B. suggested. BTW, what was Lebanon before 1943? Answer: NOTHING! It didn't exist! How has Lebanon helped the so called "palestinian" refugees ? Answer: put them in camps. How have the so called "palestinian" refugees shown their gratitude to their Lebanese hosts? Answer: they destroyed Beirut and caused a war with Israel. Start reading your books.
66. UN is dominated by islamic stats, no wonder..
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.18.11)
Yes, with UN becoming an islamic platform then Israel will contiously be targeted. The main PROBLEM is really the non-muslim contries who turned the blind eye to this fact and let the muslim take over the agenda of UN. There is something wrong, when people from different islamic contries mentions each others as "brother", not as egyptians, turks, algerians, tunisians, etiopians, iraki, iranis!! but "brothers", the agenda for islamic dominans SHOULD NOT BE HIDDEN FOR ANYONE. In some years, all christian contries and buddhist contries will be on the same list. Read my lips....
67. Norway did not vote against the agena.
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.18.11)
I sadly must admit that Norway, together with the other nordic contries who are beeing more and more under islamic influence, is on the same side as the islamic states. Recently, a meeting was held in Oslo, stating thar Norway is NOT an anti-sionist state. Today, we can summerize the opposite. Israel, I am sorry.
68. according to the biggest HR organizations N. korea is the
LOL   (06.18.11)
greatest violator of human rights in the world, and even N. korea ranked lower than israel. that sounds weired. don't you think????
69. what about...
list of human rights ,   biggest violators-   (06.18.11)
afghanistan, algeria, andorra, bahrain, nourth korea, congo, kuwait, leabanon, namibia, oman, pakistan, qatar, tajikistan, united arab emirates (remember this week- women can'd even drive a car), tanzania, uzbekistan, venezuela (all the reporters against chaves are behind bars), viet nam, yeman, zambia, zimbabwe???????
70. let you opinions be known:
IlanaB   (06.18.11)
write to them-I also did CP@ohchr.org
71. Palestinians never miss a chance to miss a chance
Ofer ,   Israel, Beersheba   (06.18.11)
they had endless chances to win the country they never had but decided not to. They latest example is their refusal for Peace in the Gaza Strip, after Israel withdrew from there. What did we get instead of Peace?! Rockets!! Fried at MY city! People like you have a one sided and short memory. Don't you think Israel would rather stop wasting its time and money on security?? We don't live in the Palestinian cities anyhow, they are controlling them! De-facto, they already have a country, now all they need to do is show they want Peace instead of keep-on-showing they want Israel off the map!! There is only ONE Jewish homeland, but more than 50(!!) Arab/Muslim states!! In those states Arabs are living WORSE than they are living in Israel and in other countries, but who do they keep blaming?! The WEST!! Not their ruthless dictators, and Peace-refusing-megalomaniac leaders!!
72. keeping 'HONOUR to yourselve and
tiki ,   belgium   (06.18.11)
GET OUT! Let them play 'Winner among themselves. Instead of moaning about it all the time, do the ONLY honorable thing and take your distance from this Maffia mob. By staying, you give them opportunity, by leaving, you take the angle out. Nobody to blame anymore. By doing so, you show that YOU don't want to be associated with organisations of that level. The 'euphoria will be great when Israel will retreat,....and than what? Anti climax, nobody to blame anymore. The maffia mob wil start to elliminate themselves. You want to change something, live by example.
73. The UN is an anti-Israel PROPAGANDA
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.18.11)
TOOL...it never ever was anything else... SO FORGET ABOUT ANY DECLARATIONS COMING FROM IT...!!! ESPECIALLY A LOOMING DECLARATION ABOUT "PALESTINIAN" STATEHOOD...!!!!
74. Right on Sarah with your comeback, #49...
William ,   Gotham City, Lebanon   (06.18.11)
... Is there a remark on Syria in his moronic comment... Libya... Tunisia... Sudan... IRAN ? LEBANON and the "ruling" junta of Hizbollah and its cohorts of criminal groups there...? This is one hypocrite who should be thrown out of the safe zip code in Canada and get shipped back to Nasarallah's zip code in south Beirut....
75. #2 Bill
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (06.18.11)
No!!! There has been no Israeli presence in Gaza since2005 and as for the West Bank - it seems to be doing very nicely, with some flourishing tourist indusstry in such places as Jenin, Ramallah is becoming a boom town and plenty of Palestinians are working alongside Israelis in various jobs. Wonder which country you call Land of the Free??
76. Sarah B
EJL ,   UK   (06.18.11)
Are you single? I think I'm in love with you.
77. World leaders should be ashamed!
john   (06.18.11)
78. that's what happens when you don't respect yourself
Hervy   (06.18.11)
others won't respect you either - losing two wars in a row, not defending Israel from rocket attacks when the enemy could easily be pulverized in 2 minutes flat, allowing horsequnt Ashton into the country, having joke leaders like Peres and Barak, it's no wonder no one respects us...
79. # 42 double standards
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
Syria, Libya, turkey, Jordan, Iran, Russia, China, Sudan, Darfur, Pakistan, ALL voted against Israel, why? They're trying to hide their own murderers by pointing fingers at Israel. Meanwhile, they are murdering their own people in their own streets while the UN knowingly approves and says nothing.... The UN is a paid agency of the Saudi's who also sponsor black Obama.
80. # 49 Sarah give 'em hell Lady!!!
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
I doubt it will do much good as these idiots don't know shit from shinola. That's why their dying in the streets for the freedoms Israel, the only democracy in the ME, enjoys daily, while their 'leaders' throw empty insults to their superior. ( far superior, Israel )
81. # 45 Bernard Ross
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
is there anything good about the UN?? I can't remember. Seems to me they are now, Uneducated, Nazis.
82. YEEEEEESSSSSS! Leave and take our cash with US.
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
83. HRC
Ed, USA ,   USA   (06.18.11)
Who cares! In doing so UN makes itself irrelevant.
84. These decision do not deal with Ethic
Dr.Ludwig ,   Belgium   (06.18.11)
These decisions have nothing to do with Ethic. Dictatorships decide and the west pays these Hypocisie. The receipt will still come. Some much abused words must be defined anew. What is a democracy? what is a peace activis ?. What is a peace generally ?Wich kind of peace ? In case of Israel on occasion peace means mostly the end of Israel as a Jewish state. In the case right peace for Europe or the world the same people meant that Sharia everywhere rule.
85. #19: I have a better idea!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.18.11)
Why don't you campaign for the end of the "Illegal Occupation of Canada? The land was stolen by the British and the French who had NO historical ties to it and was not even discovered by them! The only people who are entitled to live on the American Continents, both North and South, are the indigenous peoples of those lands who, in many canes were butchered in massacres that today would be called Genocide! Jews have a thousand year of heritage in Israel and our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried with their wives in Hebron! Who in your contry can trace their ancestry to 4000 years gao? The Arabs in who living in tensta and eating sheep's eyes in the Arabian deserts while our fold were farming the land from which they were throwen out by the Baelonians, the Greeks, the Romans, Muslims and the Crusaders! So, LebanonPride, no doubt it is not GayPride in Lebanon because your Muslim friends kill Gays, you should get your own house in order before you open your mouth and sprout drivel!
86. Here's a suggestion:
Paul ,   Israel   (06.18.11)
Over the last period, we have all been witness to the power of facebook in influencing unjust and prejudiced decisions. I suggest we all write on facebook, highlighting every double standard, every hypocritical decision and debate and every turning of a blind eye to REAL Human Rights abuses that the HRC deals ( or surprisingly doesn't deal) with. If we undermine the credibility of the Council by showing it up in all its discrimination and prejudice, worldwide, thereby proving that it is NOT an honest broker and watchdog of human right, maybe, just MAYBE, the UN will see some sense in dismantling this abomination. We need to flood facebook, ALL of us, every time the injustice stares us in the face. Then we will see how long it will last with this constant criticism, every day. Does anyone know how to create such a forum on facebook - call it "HRC is not Right", or something. BTW, nice comeback, Sarah, I liked it. Don't agree with you entirely about Judea and Samaria, but all in all, Israels legitimacy and her right to protect her sovereignty and her citizens from terrorists and murderers is inalienable. Rock on, Sarah.
87. Is this a joke?
John ,   Manchester, UK   (06.18.11)
China, Iran, Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, North Korea? How exactly are human rights abuses measured if none of these countries have been targetted for human rights abuses, but Israel, which is fighting for its very existance, is? And why have only 4 countries objected?
88. Mabrook! Looking forward to the Sanctions
Nour ,   One-State   (06.18.11)
89. #69 HRC is exacly these states, lol
Igor ,   Israel   (06.18.11)
90. to nr. 6
justice for all ,   world/planet earth   (06.18.11)
GOD BLESS A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC WORLD FOR A FREE PEOPLE(S)/MANKIND AND GOD ALSO BLESS THOSE PEOPLE(S) WHO ARE FIGHTING TO ACHIEVE THIS!!!!!!
