1. He should be arrested
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (03.18.12)
What kind of absurd, crazy world is it when terrorists are allowed to address the UN? What next - is Charles Manson going to address the General Assembly?
2. Theater of absurdity
Mikey   (03.18.12)
The UN again proving itself as an irrelevant body and must be replaced immediately with 'The League of Democracies".
3. # 2
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.18.12)
The US freezes Hezbollah & Hamas bank accounts & a Hamas official is allowed to address the UN Human Rights council. What kind of weird message does this give out to the world?
4. To nº 2
Marcela Araújo ,   Brazil   (03.18.12)

Bob ,   New York, USA   (03.18.12)
Let's hope there are some folks with fake passports and tennis rackets waiting for him at his hotel in Geneva.
6. The violators are violating - all 47 of them
yossi   (03.18.12)
Abduction of palis legislators? whoa!, what pompous titles these 21st century pagans, thugs , are anointing themselves with. It does fit the Miserable UN to a T. Geneva has a long history of catering to unsavory characters. Does the word Nazi ring a bell?, or 'cattle trains' taking a short route right into extermination camps?, or $$ billions held by their banks belonging to gassed/incinerated jews? This decadent HR Council fits the Swiss knowhow like their famed Gruyere, full of holes. Rising to the occcasion, Geneva is at the ready when smelling $$$. The who is who in this ominous ' clique ' is / was well represented:Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad, and a few other outlaws were part of this gang of 47. No need to elaborate. We all know the verdict : guilty on all counts - Burn the Jews.
7. Mr.Secretary General,...

If it were not for them, those JOOOOOOS, everything would be sooo cool and peaceful,...? Them Durn JOOOOOOOOOZ. And furthermore, they are all JEWISH, and you know what that means,...? Oh. And did I say it's their fault? Thank you and have a lovely Chag Purim.
8. Cut off funding for UN ...
GZLives   (03.18.12)
9. The UN is a TERRORIST organization!
Mike ,   Ohio   (03.18.12)
10. Hamas at tyhe UN human rights zoo. Speaks for itself. Like
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.19.12)
Iran on the womens rights commitee.
11. Are they going to discuss human rights v's Sharia.? In the
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.19.12)
"Islamic Republic of Palestine from the river to the sea"
12. Enemies of Israel will pay the price - so will Switzerland !
who cares   (03.18.12)
Hosting and making friends with members of a terror organisation ( Hamas ) plus making friends with the Hitler of today ( Ahmadinejad ) will cost Switzerland very much ! You cant fool the God of Israel - pay day WILL come !
13. TO #5
daniela ,   panama   (03.18.12)

14. Absurd
Natan ,   USA   (03.18.12)
What's next? Al Queda leader addressing the US house of representative?? Is there an end to this international insanity???
15. The UN should be dismantled
Dahlia ,   Los Angeles USA   (03.19.12)
and the and the beautiful building given to the NYC homeless. At least someone should make an honest use of it.
16. Now replace the 2nd paragraph with the following changes:
(03.19.12)
"Al-Ashqar will discuss the issue of AL-QAEDA members being held in AMERICAN jails. He is the deputy head of AL-QUAEDA'S Chain and Drag (from the back of their trucks) party and is slated to protest "the continuation of the abduction AND MURDER of MUJAHEDEEN legislators LIKE THE HONORABLE OSAMA BIN LADEN on behalf of AL-QAEDA by THE U.S." Think the UN would be hearin' this one out?
17. His gone to work out his Swiss bank accounts
David ,   Israel   (03.19.12)
The money is going to dry up from Iran soon, he needs to make a visit to his account manager to discuss arrangements for new payments
18. Breaking News UNHRC changes name to UNHRCEJ...
(03.19.12)
UN Human Rights Council Except for Jews. Hamas proposed the name change. Iran second it. North Korea, Syria, USSR and Turkey voted it in. Enough said?
19. Hamas discusses the "abduction of legislatures"
William ,   Israel   (03.19.12)
Well, for starters, there is no difference between the political and the military wings of Hamas. Mashaal and Haniyeh both admitted that publicly and there is no proof otherwise that both wings are mutually exclusive. And of course, there is the labeling of Hamas as a terrorist group by the West, which holds the majority of power in the world, as well as the financing of the UN, so I see this as the ultimate absurd Liberal statement - giving a finger to the hands that feed it. Finally, PLO Legislative Laws dictate that the President (Abbas) can dissolve Parliament at any time for a violation of any items on a list. Hamas agreed to this in 2006 in order to take part in the election. Hamas led a bloody coup, Abbas dissolved Parliament, Hamas becomes illegitimate - case closed. Who is Navi Pillay to claim she is more "Palestinian" than the "Palestinians"?
20. CHRISTIANS & JEWS MUST ADDRESS UN.
BUTSeriously ,   Australia   (03.19.12)
The crimes and robbery of lands of Jews, Coptics, Kurds and Lebanese, swiping names like Palestine, desecration of Non-Muslim sites - these are committed by the very Muslims honored by the UN.
21. Well: that settles it: UNHRW Meets With Terrorists
Ezra ,   US   (03.19.12)
Only Mel Brooks could have written something this funny. HRW is a f@!king JOKE!!! Shameless knuckle dragging Simians. What a disgrace!!!
22. Political Arrests Treated Politically
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (03.19.12)
It should be no surprise that the arrests of politicians gets political treatment. Have they been charged or tried and convicted? Or are they just held for their known associations and political beliefs? Have they actually committed an act? or is their existence reason enough? Sharon and his government approved their run for election. Did they actually do something subsequent to warrant arrest? Or has the change in the Israeli government created their crime of existence? De-legitimizing the UN and the Palestinians seems to be the way that Y-Net talkbackers want to go - reverse spin BDS.
23. Pray for peace in Jerusalem! March 23 is the last day
Rivkah   (03.19.12)
of 5771 on the Moses Jewish calendar. On March 24, which is Nisan 1, 5772 on the Moses calendar, the EMP Attack in the ELS Scripture code matrix for 5771 will have been averted by the mercy of HaShem. Six more days and the danger will be past. The matrix says the parents will eat their children. Pray and fast. Just six more days to 5772!
24. Update:
Niklas Bergman ,   Finland   (03.19.12)
UNWatch's Hillel Neuer says that "I doubt Hamas official was invited by UN. More likely is invited by a NGO to speak at side event & maybe for 2 mins in plenary."
25. Seems like an Obama job. [End]
BUTSeriously ,   Australia   (03.19.12)
26. UN is signing it's own death warrant.
tiki ,   belgium   (03.19.12)
Like (2) Micky wrote....UN is "the Theatre of the Absurd".
27. Another reason why the UN and HRC are irrelevant!
(03.19.12)
28. I feel like playing tennis! Dubai? Damascus? Teheran?
(03.19.12)
29. This is the same UN that has designated Hamas as an....
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.19.12)
...international terror organization. In other words, the UN and its agencies refuse to stand by its own decisions. And, the UN and its agencies collaborate with an officially designated terror group. Why, one wonders, should anyone have any respect for the UN...??!!
30. Whi is next to address UN's Human Rights Council? Al Qaeda?
Jayjay ,   Israel   (03.19.12)
The UN is a disgrace and all funding for it should be stopped immediately!
