1. Complicit?
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (06.06.12)
I wonder if the "fact-finders" will assist in firing rockets into Israel or if they'll only observe.
2. Why bother?
steve from raleigh   (06.06.12)
They already 'discovered' all they need. The report is already written, it condemns all the Jews everywhere to hell.
3. Right, they wish to create trouble, not peace, they aren't
r ,   Atlanta USA   (06.06.12)
peaceful a Jewish American is held hostage in their country and they do nothing.
4. Fact finding missions only work...
William ,   Israel   (06.06.12)
when the team shows up without the final decision already made. The UN is not trying to visit to "find facts", they're trying to justify the damning report they've already written several months ago without any facts.
5. instead of palestinian territories//Judea & Samaria
tiki ,   belgium   (06.06.12)
I suggest the ""Pakistani ambassador sends his UN-friends on a 'peace & fact finding mission to the disputed province of Kashmir! I'm sure his neighbour from India will be thrilled by his effort.
6. Worthless orginization
Steve ,   USA   (06.07.12)
Why is it they aren't wanting to visit Syria? The Israeli Ambassador to the UN should call for a 'fact finding' mission to the Arab/Muslim dictatorship of the barbarian Assad. Wonder what the vote would be on that on? When the Republicans win the US election, the Congress needs to cancel all financial support to the United Nations. And also label them sponsors of terror.
7. Are they serious??? A comprehensive audit is what they need.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.07.12)
to start the ball rolling. Let them find out how much good taxpayers money was funneled into that den of thievery. Let them find out into whose pockets all the billions went. Make the PA give audited accounts of the money. How much is Suha "paid" per annum. How much Abbas and his cohorts pay themselves. Why, after all the billions pumped into the territory is the place still a dump??? WHERE THE MONEY GONE??? Why do the Balestinians get more aid per capita than any other people in the world? Let them have a good look at the school curriculum and demand answers as to why hatred and destruction of their Jewish neighbours are the core subjects when they are supposed to be engaging in some kind of peace talks that should lead to statehood : ) Let them find out the facts about the children's programs that are produced to brainwash the children in Jew hatred right there in their own homes while they are in front the TV. Let them sit through Farfur and Sarsour. Let them find out what is the expected outcome of dressing children (some very young) as jihadists, complete with guns (toy or real); and what about the children camps that teach the children the glorification of jihad. Then there is the sanitation, graffiti and general filth of their surroundings. O Lord! The list is too long.
8. After so much bias against israel and avoiding .......
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (06.07.12)
checking the Arab criminal and hostile activities within and out of their territoriesTHEY HAVE LOST CREDIBILITY. Israel don't let them in!!!!
9. No invitation, no visas, just stay at home.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.07.12)
10. to be open and honest
Mary   (06.07.12)
Such a up to date fact finding mission would be a good idea to get basic facts about what happens to human beings, children, women and men in a region which is under very special political and legal conditions. There are problems with disputed landowning, behaviour of military, police, security units in this region which should openly and honestly discussed and not silenced by the people who are in power.
11. Peace and fact-finding
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.07.12)
The nonaligned movement could not find its nether orifice with two hands and a flashlight. Israel should deny access. Most of the countries who wish to send an emissary do not recognize the State of Israel or consider themselves to be in a state of war with the State of Israel. Let Abbas take some nice home movies and set up a screening. Israel still controls the border with Jordan and, of course, access via Israel, and none of the whores on the Security Council should be allowed entry.
