Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.09.11)
2. Nu, so what else is new?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.09.11)
I say this all the time but it bears repeating. 1) Nullify the Oslo Accords. Cut off relations with the PA. 2) Stop the transfer of all funds to the PA. 3) Annex Area C 4) Lobby the US Congress to cut off funds to the PA. 5) Declare officially that our position is that Jordan is Palestine. 6) Cancel the Israeli ID's of E. Jerusalem Arabs - they're Jordanian citizens. 7) Seal the border with Gaza - Gaza is Egypt's problem.
3. Someone still taking the UN seriously?
tiki ,   belgium   (08.09.11)
This UNited, Biased Anti-Israel Obsessed Organisation is getting more ridiculous by the day.
4. Arab states to head UN in September
Susan Dykhuis ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.09.11)
UN is a farce...it is the new Pan-Arab league (the same UN in April 2010 elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women - a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged "immodest." UN is not only a farce, but a disgrace.
5. UN bid PALESTINE
davdav ,   israel   (08.09.11)
PRESIDENCY OF LEBANON IN SECURITY CONCIL EQUAL ="ZERO".....I GUESS QATAR PRESIDENCY OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY WILL LEAD TO A MINIMUM OF "ABSTENTION" IF NOT "AGAINST" ........... IN CHESS WE CALL IT "PAT"

9. In the end the UN will serve
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.09.11)
to accelerate their long awaited annihilation, which is eminent. The greatest collection of heathens to ever be assembled in the world for the expressed purpose; to deny the purpose of Israel, and the truth of Torah.
10. UN = Biased to Arabs
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (08.09.11)

seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (08.09.11)
entryway large enough to accomodate your inflated ego. I do think that the Turtle Bay location should be shuttered and rebuilt in a more suitable location... central Africa.
14. #3 - answer: the Albanians in Kosovo.

15. UN=JOKE!!!
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.09.11)
Just likethe "palestinians" and Salma and Nour and Lebanon Pride and all Arabs in general.
16. It is high time, indeed, very high time the US, EU and thei
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.09.11)
leaders understand: The core cause of the Arab Israeli conflict, local and regional, has nothing to do with "Jerusalem", "settlements", "borders", "refugees", "security" or "water"; it is rather the total and categorical refusal of the Muslim-Arab world - not the Christian-Arabs, not the Druze-Arabs, mind you!! - local and regional, the PLO included of course, to accept Israel's very RIGHT to be - and not only the FACT that it is - to exist as the independent nation-state of the Jewish people on ANY parcel of land between the River and the Sea. Thus, instead of focusing on symptoms of the conflict, be they what they may, the US, EU and their leaders must first and foremost demand of the Muslim-Arab leadership, the PLO included, to accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and to view a peace treat, once concluded, as the "end of the conflict and the end of all future demands". The fact that the Muslim-Arab leadership has been refusing to accept the above, for many, many decades, should give the US, EU and their leaders a clue as to the reason why peace is not presently within reach, and only the management of the situation is, until and unless the Muslim-Arabs are forthcoming.
17. un.
wonder ,   world(-   (08.09.11)
fortunately, there exists a form of united nations since 1945, despite it"s mistakes and short-comings. if the un would not exists, it would have been invented immediately. it fortunately already even might have been prevented a/the 3th. world war. of course the palestian people, like any other people, have the right to turn to the un to try to establish their own state by all (peaceful) means, separate from islam.
18. UN = Unless Nuts
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (08.09.11)
the liberals in the West will one day wake up to find that their countries are like unto UN, hijacked by radical muslims. one day the mosques in the European countries will out-numbered the churches. UN will ran by muslims countries, esp when the US are in dire state, China and Russia only care for their own interest, Israel is just the beginnning, after they attack Israel, they will start to attack Christians and atheists. even China is not spared from radical muslims, watch my words.
19. Lebanon head UN Security Council
norbus ,   jerusalem   (08.09.11)
Harriri
20. Civilization at his pick, a babylonian epic
Perry   (08.09.11)
The UN represent the swill of of the muslim world; a gift from America and the EU. They are succeeding in pushing their sharia vicious laws in Europe, the UK, and have started with some success in the US. -------- So, raping a wife is OK (she's my property) whipping a women is fine, molesting little girls ia a god (a crappy one) given right, and the excuse is marriage; stoning a woman to death is an accepted tradition not to be tampered with, slavery is the heart of islamic tradition. -- and the world waited 2000 years to reach this unprecedented level of civilization, sophistication, 'savoir faire'; man's love and respect for man.
21. Tiime to boot the UN
Brod ,   USA   (08.09.11)
It is time for America to boot the UN out from its soil. It has become a bastion of Islamist-Jihadist entities and countries crusading their Jihadism agenda to the world. It has become a body of dark forces. By booting the UN out, America will save billions of dollars from being wasted.
22. #15
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.09.11)
David= lIllegal immigrant just like Lieberman, Netanyahu, and all other settlers.
23. un actions against
gdfathermax ,   tel aviv israel   (08.09.11)
the state of israel are obviously coming. i agree with terry in eilat. Israel should annex area c and stop all cooperation with the palis and any state that refuses to recognise that israel is a jewish state. leiberman is the only politician with the guts to react correctly.
24. Netanyahu's test
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.09.11)
If Netanyahu was a great leader he would take advantage of the declaration and make the decisions that will bring real peace. He would acknowledge that the PLO irrevocably abrogated the Oslo agreements, annex Judea and Samaria to Israel, destroy Dayton's army and repatriate all Arab immigrants who moved in under the Oslo accords.
25. Salma "PALESTINE"
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.09.11)
I was BORN here Salma. You and your "people" are illegal squatters... GO HOME!!! You and your "kind" are unwelcome!!
26. to salma, nour and the rest of them
"Balestine"   (08.09.11)
For 2000 years this land was undeclared by anyone. As if waiting for the Jews to return. Only twice this place had nationalist aspirations once in ancient times of Israel and now in Modern Israel. If the "Palestinians" consider themselves the natives, where were they all this time ? they could have made a state without any interference. Israel is like a deserted home that the owner left and now he's back. And its time for the squatters to leave – that means you Salma.. And by the way, how can you trust a group of people who call themselves a name they cant even pronounce
27. The last chance?
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (08.09.11)
I thought that a Two State Solution was something that everyone wants but obviously, after reading the article and the comments, I am wrong. I ask, especially the Israelis, don´t you want to have peace? Don´t you want your children to live in peace? Let the UN try as the efforts of the US were of no use and both Israeli and Palestinian leaders failed.
28. Boos,Boos to the UN
Samuel ,   Israel   (08.09.11)
With majority of Arab Nations its quite obvious what will be the conclusion. The UN should be finally disolved. The US should halt all their funding. G-d be with us-Amen.
29. #25 really ? so what?
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.09.11)
many of Illegal African immigrants in "Israel" were born here , does this make them pure citizens ?!!! Well, that was silly of you to think - very silly indeed.
30. #22 Salma & "Palestine".
Doug ,   Wales   (08.09.11)
Listen to what your PLO leader Zuheir Mohsein had to say about "Palestinians";- "There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity, because it is in the interest of the Arabs to encourage a separate Palestinian identity in contrast to Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity is there only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new expedient to continue the fight against Zionism and for Arab unity ." Not forgetting what senior Arab Leader Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the Peel Commission in 1937; "There is no such country as 'Palestine'; 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented!" The Jews are the only true indigenous people in the land. They have had a continuous presence there for over 3,000 years. The Arabs are recent immigrants, as their leaders confirm. As to 'legality' check out the 25 year factual study by Professor Howard Grief - "The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel Under International Law". When you've finished this check out "Israel and Palestine; Assault on the Law of Nations" by Professor Julius Stone. Or if you prefer to live in a non-existent dreamland called 'Palestine', perhaps you are better off sticking to the biased UN. A body which refuses to allow Israel to even sit on the Security Council due to Arab and Islamic pressure. The only country on the planet forbidden from doing so. Yet, as this article shows, states hostile to and who do not recognise the right of Israel to even exist, are allowed to sit, head and vote on issues surrounding the Jewish state. Now this is what should be illegal!!!
