1. Nonsense, this was anti-Israel rubber stamp nothing about US
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (11.30.12)
With most of the world voting against Israel automatically this has nothing to do with the USA and everything to do with Israel. Once again the NY Times shows why it is not longer relevant
2. It is time for the US to stop funding UN.
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.30.12)
UN has become a tool for the islamic followers to secretly, piece by piece, remove the viable assembly into an islamic tool of world dominant control and manipulation. Surely the world is on its way from multicultural collection of countries, into an islamic ruled world of violent countries fighting each other due to its new islamic nature, fighting to death. Let the isolamic nations pay for the UN, and let the free, non-islamic states withdraw from this new ALF, Arab League Foundation, formerly called UN. The new arab league will also include, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, UK, Belgium, Italy, Cyprus, France, Greece, Iceland. Then, as US is the main contributor to UN, they should stop funding this islamic league-to-come.
3. Arabs could have had a state in 1947....
bob k ,   orlando usa   (11.30.12)
Instead they spent decades trying to destroy Israel while denying the Jewish right of independence. The Arabs and Iranians are still trying to end Jewish independence.
4. The UN is a joke.
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (11.30.12)
I am glad the US voted No and stood with Israel. I hope Obama has the chuztpa like George Bush did when he set his eyes on Iraq, with or without the UN was his mantra. I will never understand how the world sees Palestinians as victims. All they have done is attack Israel from the beginning. That will be the day when we see any flag, other then Israel's flying in Jerusalem. The world is hell bent on seeing that happen and it will lead to world war. I pray the US will not abandon Israel at any cost.
5. Palestnians had a state in 1947 but turned it down
joe ,   us   (11.30.12)
Now they want it again but they dont want peace , just rhetoric
6. the only real winner will be.......
tiki ,   belgium   (11.30.12)
The city of Den Haag (Hague) where it's hotels & restaurants will be permanently 'occupied by upgraded Palestinians and their permanent grieves.
7. #6 I would sugest a visit to the "Mauirtshuis Museum"
A ,   Belgium   (11.30.12)
but I forgot...the word "culture" doesn't exist in "palestinian".
8. The loser is the winner
Arava ,   Israel   (12.01.12)
America and israel are the real winners Now its clear without american money and Israeli concent the palestinins can go fly a kite.. and that will not happen as long as they dont unite(gaza and west bank).
9. #2 Its Time For The US To Stop Funding Israel
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.01.12)
Its time you Israelis began to realise that when the USA stops paying for your outrageous behaviour in the Middle East you are finished. Your bullying days will be over. The UN vote proved that once and for all that Europe and the rest of the world have decided that enough is enough. The US is isolated with Canada, Czech Republic, Panama and a few other insignificant atolls in the Pacific. I wonder how much aid the Americans threatened to withdrawn from the Panamanians and islanders if they didn't vote the way the big bully wanted? Israelis need to face reality. Build all the settler apartments you want. It doesn't matter. There will be a viable, contiguous Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.
10. TO NR. 11- WORLD CITIZEN.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (12.02.12)
AND HOW ABOUT THE IRANIAN THREAT TO ISRAEL, TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP? THE REST OF THE WORLD ALSO HAS TO TAKE CARE THAT THE ISRAELI PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN PEACE IN THEIR COUNTRY, JUST AS ANY OTHER PEOPLE. THREATENING A COUNTRY AND AGRESSION/ATTACKING AGAINST ANOTHER COUNTRY WITHOUT ANY REASON MAY NEVER BE TOLERATED. THAT IS A THREAT/DANGER TO WORLDPEACE, IS ALSO A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY/MANKIND AND A WARCRIME. NOT/NEVER ANOTHER HOLOCAUST/SHOAH.
11. Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas
ltrail ,   United States   (12.02.12)
Dear PM Petr Necas. Not only the State of Israel, but the world (mostly excluding muslims), thank you for your courageous vote at the UN to block the so-called palestinians from obtaining non-member observer status. It is shameful that some members of the EU (Italy, France, UK, and others, have buckled under to pressure from the muslim interests within their nations. I salute you, and your courageous nation. G-d, please bless you, mightily. May you prosper in all areas and resources.
12. #9..It's high time that the Pal/arabs got a job
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (12.02.12)
Instead of getting real work, the Pal/Arabs are living off the welfare of the U.N., USA, and the rest of the world. What does the World get in return for the billions pumped into the Pal/Arabs ? ..... ........nothing, zero, zilch but lots of whining !
