3. UN DON'T CARE ABOUT CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AGAINST JEWS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.26.05)
The PLO/Palestinian Authority and other terrorist organizations declared publicly their religious terror war had given them the victory of Gaza-a base for international terror. Inspiring and igniting deadlier jihad. Making Jews jobless and homeless for their implacable enemies, Israel destroyed the homes of almost 10,000 Jews. Homes for which mortgages must still be paid. Thousands of Jewish greenhouses and 325 Jewish farms built on land that NEVER belonged to Arabs are now in the possession of Arab Muslims. World leaders congratulated Sharon for this ruthlessness. The UN U.S. EU, and UK cruelly demand greatly increased Jew cleansing from Judea and Samaria making 250,000 Jews jobless and homeless, greatly exacerbating Israeli Jews' dire poverty and joblessness. Creating a massive economic and human crisis in Israel. AND MASSIVELY DESTROYING ISRAEL'S SECURITY. The Jew-hating Europeans deported Jews from their countries over 80 times. WHY ARE CHARGES OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY NOT BEING BROUGHT AGAINST: Palestinian Authority Minister Mohammed Dahlan in charge of coordinating the withdrawal with Israel-terror master who is responsible for the bomb attack on the Israeli school bus in November 2000 in which two school teachers were killed and three children from the Cohen family lost their legs. All those responsible for financing, training, arming and sending out Islamic homicide bombers to blow up Jews and destroy the lives of survivors who have nails and other metallic objects from the bombs embedded in their bodies and brains. The Palestinian Authority for teaching through their mosques, media and public education system the murder of Jews is a religious obligation. The Palestinian Authority for hailing as heroes the savage Islamist murderers of defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother, Tali Hatuel, and four little daughters in Gush Katif in May 2004. The PA for the sermon (and many similar) of Oct 13 2000 broadcast from Gaza mosque, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..." Genocide and/or planned genocide breaks international law.

5. UN DON'T CARE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AGAINST PA CHRISTIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.26.05)
PERSECUTED "PALESTINIAN" CHRISTIANS BEG WORLD FOR HELP PLO terrorists conducted bloody, barbaric jihad against Lebanon's Christians, mass maiming and murdering huge numbers. www.free-lebanon.com Click on photo gallery - 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. The reward for PLO savagery was to implant these PLO terrrorists into Israel as "peace" partners through Oslo to continue their jihad. Christians in PA areas suffer horrendous persecution, under the cruel occupation of PA/PLO and other terrorist organizations. The following are parts of an article: Christianity Dying In Its Birthplace By Daniel Pipes FrontPageMagazine.com | September 13, 2005 http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=19453 "What some observers are calling a pogrom took place near Ramallah, West Bank, on the night of Sep. 3-4. That’s when fifteen Muslim youths from one village, Dair Jarir, rampaged against Taybeh, a neighboring all-Christian village of 1,500 people. The Ajajs and their friends broke into houses and stole furniture, jewelry, and electrical appliances. They threw Molotov cocktails at some buildings and poured kerosene on others, then torched them. The damage included at least 16 houses, some stores, a farm, and a gas station. The assailants vandalized cars, looted extensively, and destroyed a statue of the Virgin Mary. “It was like a war,” one Taybeh resident told The Jerusalem Post. Hours passed before the Palestinian Authority security and fire services arrived. The fifteen assailants spent only a few hours in police detention, then were released. As for Khouriyye, the Palestinian police arrested him, kept him jail, and (his family says) have repeatedly beat him. A cousin, Suleiman Khouriyye, pointed to his burned house. “They did this because we’re Christians. They did this because we are the weaker ones.” The Khouriyyes and others recall the assailants shouting Allahu Akbar and anti-Christian slogans: “Burn the infidels, burn the Crusaders.” This assault fits a larger pattern. According to the Catholic Custodian of the Holy Land, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Christians in the Bethlehem region alone have suffered 93 cases of injustice in 2000-04. In the worst of these, in 2002, Muslims murdered the two Amre sisters, 17 and 19 years old, whom they called prostitutes. A post-mortem, however, showed the teenagers to have been virgins – and to have been tortured on their genitals. “Almost every day – I repeat, almost every day – our communities are harassed by the Islamic extremists in these regions,” Pizzaballa says. “And if it’s not the members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, there are clashes with … the Palestinian Authority.” In addition to the Islamists, a “Muslim land mafia” is said to operate. With PA complicity. it threatens Christian land and house owners, often succeeding to compel them to abandon their properties. The campaign of persecution has succeeded...Bethlehem and Nazareth, historic Christian towns for nearly two millennia, are now primarily Muslim. In 1922, Christians outnumbered Muslims in Jerusalem; today, Christians amount to a mere 2 percent of that city’s population." "Islamic mafia accused of persecuting Holy Land Christians" http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/09/09/wmid09.xml Every single agreement has been broken by the PA/PLO, rendering Oslo, Road Map and ALL agreements NULL AND VOID. The U.S. EU, UN, Israel: the Christians of the world appeal to you. Stop the injustice. Stop the cruelty. Stop the massive criminal human rights violations. Liberate the Christians from ALL terrorist organizations immediately.
6. UN KNOWS GOAL OF PA IS ANNIHILATION OF ISRAEL
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.26.05)
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY & OTHER TERROR GROUPS UNITED IN ANNIHILATION OF ISRAEL The United States, the EU, and the UN are well aware that the goal of the Palestinian Authority and other terrorist groups is total annihilation of Israel. An Islamic terror state in the Jewish Holy Land enables that goal. See part of article below: To view this item online, visit http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45917 Tuesday, August 23, 2005 Islamic Jihad says all Palestinians united Leader says total annihilation of Israel joint strategy Posted: August 23, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com In a news conference in Damascus, the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad today boasted all Palestinian groups remain united in the goal of annihilating the Jewish state of Israel. With Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia looking on, Ramazan Abdullah, secretary general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said the Palestinian Authority and all Palestinian movements have reached agreement on a joint strategy after Israel's evacuation of the Gaza Strip. "This war would continue till full liberation of Palestine, restoration of the denied rights of the whole Palestinian nation and briefly speaking uprooting of the usurper Israeli regime," he said, according to a translation by the official Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency..."
7. If John Dugard is extremist, then what areSharon & Netenyaho
Salameh ,   Gaza, Palestine   (09.26.05)
This is kind of funny, if the Israeli gouverment thinks a UN-envoy, a South-African native is EXTREMIST, then what would Sharon, Mofaz and Netenyaho be? what would Eitam and Eldad be? This is a CRYSTAL-CLEAR example for all peace loving people to calibrate the zionist system of justice. SHAME.
8. TO LINDA RIVERA
(09.27.05)
STOP POSTING YOUR LIES ABOUT CHRISTIANS BEING PERSECUTED IN PALESTINE. YOUR REPETITIVE POSTINGS ARE BORING FULL OF MISLEADING INFORMATION. I AM CHRISTIAN AND PALESTINIAN AND MY FEELING OF PERSECUTION IS A RESULT OF THE ZIONIST OCCUPATION , OPPRESSION AND DAILY COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENTS OF MY PEOPLE. LINDA YOU SHOULD KNOW AND BETTER BELEIVE THAT WE THE PALESTINIANS BOTH CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ARE HERE IN PALESTINE TO STAY FOREVER. ZIONISM IS A TRANSIENT TEMPORARY REALITY IN PALESTINE WITH AN EVENTUAL EXPIRATION DATE- YOU BETTER BELEIVE IT IT IS CLEAR IN THE BIBLE.
9. This is no surprise
Andrew ,   NY   (09.27.05)
We shouldn't be surprised or waste emotional energy on this. They hate us and we know it. Full speed ahead.
10. The UN Can Go To Hell
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (09.27.05)
The UN won't be satisfied until Israel is eliminated, one way or another. That is why Sharon was given a hero's welcome at the UN - he has committed Israel to the "phased plan". To the UN - to hell with you and all your terror apologists!
11. why give space to this guy ?
Michael ,   tel aviv   (09.27.05)
every newspapet that I've looked at summarizes this guys report with the words 'an extremist that shouldn't be considered seriously'. So why is he being written about / What is happening in Iraq for example is far more horrendous than what is happenig here - maybe focus on that ?
12. an open letter to the UN
Barak   (09.27.05)
Dear UN Commisioners Youre report is irrelevant. The wall/fence is there because it protects Israeli lives. It achieves that goal by stopping suicide bombers from traversing into Israeli territory and killing and maiming non-combatants. Operations by the IDF to arrest or kill wanted terrorists are carried out to stop terrorists from blowing themselves up in buses and cafes, shootings, and rocket attacks, that kill and maim non-combatants. The westbank final status is up for negotiation. We, the people of Israel, have claim to this land. So do the Palestinians. The outcome must be negotiated. The westbank, therefore, does not belong to the Palestinians, because of some or other default, or some or other resolution that your organization passed. The outcome must be negotiated. You have consistently failed to recognize that we have an interest in this land too. We do not need your permission to act in any shape or form. We are an autonomous, democratic country. The excuse that is touted, ''violation of international law'' is a bad joke. International Law, appart from WTO treaties, has no enforcability whatsoever. It is neither logical nor rational that democratic countries should be bound by resolutions passed by other countries at a gathering of such countries. To suggest that it should bind democratic countries undermines the very roots of democracy and democratically ellected governments. It also lends itself to political bullying by countries which, with all due respect, while they may want to see this issue resolved in one way or another, have no direct vested interest in this conflict and its outcome whatsoever.
13. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ISRAEL IS THE HOME OF THE JEWS!

15. To the phony Arab Christian; Your Bible is the Koran!
Daisy ,   USA   (09.27.05)
If you were a real Christian you would read the BIble which says that Israel and Jerusalem belongs to the Jews. Jesus was a Jew! "Palestine" is a Roman word which Israel was re-named. A "Palestinian" people have never existed. http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/palestine.htm
16. KEEP WRITING THE TRUTH LINDA!
Daisy ,   USA   (09.27.05)
The evil people don't want to hear the truth!
17. EMPOWERING GLOBAL JIHAD. NEVER AN ARAB COUNTRY OF PALESTINE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.27.05)
Global jihad is empowered as Islamofascists receive amazing help in the jihad against Israel from the international community. The entire world will pay the price of an Islamic terror state in Israel. THERE NEVER WAS AN ARAB COUNTRY OF PALESTINE. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, not once in the Koran. Around 1948, Arabs violently ETHNICALLY CLEANSED about one million Jews from Arab countries. Arab governments seized the land, homes, bank accounts, businesses and assets of the Jews. Most of the Jewish refugees fled to Israel. THERE MUST NOW BE A JUST SETTLEMENT FOR THE JEWISH REFUGEES AND THEIR DESCENDANTS-COMPENSATION IN LAND AND FINANCES. In 1922, Britain illegally gave MOST OF PALESTINE-80% TO THE ARABS. The area became Jordan, giving the Arabs an Arab Palestinian state on JEWISH land. IT WAS ETHNICALLY CLEANSED OF JEWS. This area is part of ancient, Biblical Israel, and along with present-day Israel, including Judea, Samaria, Gaza and the Golan was recognized by the League of Nations as the Jewish homeland. In 1948, Egypt invaded Gaza and ethnically cleansed ALL Jews. In 1948, Jordan invaded Judea-Samaria (West Bank) and east Jerusalem and ETHNICALLY CLEANSED ALL JEWS. Jordan, opposing G-D DESTROYED 58 synagogues in Jerusalem. In 1967 when Israel won Islam's religious war of aggression against it, Jews returned to the areas of their homeland they had been ethnically cleansed from for 19 years. Islamofascists DECEITFULLY call this return "occupation". Under international law, territories are considered "occupied" only when taken in an act of aggression which does not apply to Israel. Judea, Samaria and Gaza are not 'occupied territories' according to international law because they were not taken from any foreign sovereign. ALL of the Jewish land, homes, properties and businesses stolen from the Jews in the 1948 Islamic invasion must be returned to the Jews IMMEDIATELY
18. Who are you kidding-The UN is Corrupt
MCW ,   NJ USA   (09.27.05)
Most reports issued by the UN is always against Israel. There is no one else to blame but the Jews. Historically, the US, Europe, North Africa and Middle East always blamed the Jews for their problems. The Jews are the whipping boys of the World. Well, no more. The UN is a racist and offically, corrupt institution that needs to be cleansed of all the muslim and third world racist impurities before Israel and any other peace loving Nations takes them seriously. It appears that the World is being black mailed by the Muslims and we are either to blind to see it, or have been paid off with petrol dollars or promises of cheap oil. It is time that world Jewlry and Israel say enough is enough. The Jews of the 21st Century will not be a door mat for Islamic racisit, and antisemtic Europeans. Besides, the same countries that are making demands of Israel, are the same ones that murdered or forced deportation of Jews throughout history. Tell the UN to come back to us after their own house is cleaned up.
19. To Mr. Barak
C. Read ,   MS US   (09.27.05)
You seem to be a very reasonable person, but I must respectfully disagree in regard to who has “claim to this land.” According to the Scriptures, God promised the Holy Land to His Chosen People. After all, He is the Creator of the Heavens and the earth, and He can give His possessions to whomsoever He chooses; and just because others have inhabited or “lay claim” to the land of Israel, does not negate the fact that this earth, and everything in it, ultimately belongs to God. Regretfully though, many of God’s people have not kept their side of the Agreement, or His Law. Thus, the great turmoil and lack of peace not only in the land of Israel, but in the entire world. I just pray for the Day when I will see true and lasting peace, and only through the LORD God can it happen. “When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Proverbs 16:7 May it truly be our desire to please the LORD God Almighty in all that we say and do. And may God have mercy on all those who are calling out to Him with a sincere and repentant heart, whether they be Jew or Gentile. Sincerely, C. Read 26 September 2005 / 23 Elul 5765
20. Where are the Jewish Lawyers
MCW ,   NJ USA   (09.27.05)
With all the Jewish legal minds out their, why can't Israel go on the offensive and fight the Muslim land grabbers in the Court of Law. The Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations and UN documents have granted those lands that are called "occupied" to the Jewish people. There is no legal proof that any Muslim Arab owned any land. Should we take the word of an antisemite in the UN, London or the Hague? The Brits illegally stripped Jewish lands away in the 1920's and gave it to Jordan and the Golan Heights to Syria. The Muslims want land that they never owned, and the world approves because they have been educated by their lies or their blindness to the rights of Jews. The Palestinians and left wing Jewish groups are using the British courts against Israel. Isn't time that we take the fight to them and when this war of words and ideas in the courts as well as in the media. Arab Muslims residing on Jewish lands should either move to Jordan or take a trip to one of 22 Muslim countries. Historical facts and legal documents are clear on the Jews right to those disputed lands. Lets fight the Muslim racist and the revisionists of history to court and to the world stage of public opinion. The "don't rock the boat" crowd should stay home.
21. Human Rights
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (09.27.05)
Is there such a thing as Israeli human rights? Does the UN investigate their abuse by the Palestinians? Michael www.kicisrael.blogspot.com
22. Re # 20
Jenin ,   Palestine   (09.27.05)
because you have no case fool, Israel is the occupation power and the palestinians are subjected to subhuman treatment, your hate and the brain washing racist rabis are blinding you all. May God have mercy on you idiot?????
23. Membership of UNCHR
Paul ,   Brooklyn, US   (09.27.05)
I looked at the membership of the UNCHR and it is a bit wierd. One can understand that China and US must be on it, but why Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe, for God's sake? Still, the great majority of the 53 members seem reasonable.
24. What about Israelis' rights?
Howard ,   Pacific Coast, USA   (09.27.05)
What about Israeli citizens' right not to have deluded lunatics shoot rockets at them and blow up their bus terminals and hotels? (Funny thing: the UN never sticks up for Israelis' human rights. Or, for that matter, the human rights of Jews elsewhere. But I digress). In any case, Mr. Dugard is confused. Hamas and IJ do not intend to stop at the '67borders, as they showed in Gaza this week. Their terrorism is not a "consequence of occupation," but rather of their desire to murder Israeli Jews for daring to live in Israel. They have demonstrated this fact amply in Gaza this week. Ultimately, Israel's barrier is a far more humane approach to preventing terror attacks than many that Israel could be employing. Israel needs to do something to counter the Palestinians' lunatic fringe until the PA gains the will to do something constructive about the problem. Would Mr. Dugard prefer instead to see more terror attacks, followed by vicious cycles of back-and-forth reprisals, with many dead on both sides? That does not seem like a good idea. Negotiations take time, especially when trust has been smashed the way Arafat smashed the trust of Israelis. And Islamic Jihad/etc. will do everything possible to disrupt said negotiations with terrorist attacks. So someone needs to do something in the meantime, and Israel has chosen a relatively peaceful middle course that minimizes the casualties on both sides. Am I totally happy with the route of the barrier? No. Is a barrier a good idea? Yes. #12: a very well-put response. Ultimately, both sides have a claim, and the ONLY way that anything will be resolved is for the 2 sides (and not the UN) to negotiate a settlement. UNHCR reports are indeed irrelevant to the real situation; they are simply political ammunition being provided to one side to use against the other.

26. UN: what about "palestinians" duties?
Switzerland   (09.27.05)
27. TO DAISY #15
(09.27.05)
IT IS THE BIBLE THAT YOU READ WHICH IS PHONY. YOU ARE NOT A REAL CHRISTIAN RATHER A ZIONIST CHRISTIAN. DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER THAN POSTING THE SAME WEB SITE SULLIVAN-COUNTY SHIT WHICH IS AFFALIATED WITH THE KKK. I AM NOT SURPRISED FROM A SIMPLE MINDED IGNORANT WITH PERFECT DWELLING PLACES STREET CORNERS.
28. GLOBAL JIHAD EMPOWERED.BEFORE 1948 JEWS WERE THE PALESTINIAN
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.27.05)
Global jihad is greatly empowered as the U.S. EU and UN give astonishing support for an Islamic terror state in Israel that will threaten the world. There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 800 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, not once in the Koran. Arabs FIRST took the name “Palestinians” in 1967. Arafat was the FIRST leader of this NEW PEOPLE. Before 1948, Jews were known as the Palestinians! The Jewish newspaper, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post. http://palestinepostings.blogspot.com/2005/06/historical-palestinians-very-simple.html After the Jews miraculously transformed desert and swamps into rich, agricultural land (for which Jews are world famous!) Arabs came in large numbers from Arab countries for jobs from the Jews. The fact that the overwhelming majority of Arabs resided only briefly in Palestine is attested to by the special UN decree: that any Arab who had resided in Palestine FOR ONLY TWO YEARS BEFORE 1948, and then left, would be considered a refugee and so would his descendants!!! On March 31, 1977, Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein: “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”
