First, I would not risk my neck to save yours and I do not offer you any thanks for talking about accepting risks to save mine. Second, if you really believed that "It's about money and power" then you wouldn't have to post any replies implicating Israel by name. After all, you suggest that the "Palestinian people" want to "live their lives in peace," presumably without regards for money and power. Only Israel (re Jews) and the US (controlled by Jews) want money and power. Jews are all about money and power. You are anti-Semitic. Your own government "has somehow been coerced into sending piles of cash to Israel." By your own conditions you admit your stupidity. It's all about "money and power." The US has confirmed its influence over Israel through its aid. Israel responds through other channels. You focus on one half of the equation. You are anti-Semitic. "the genuine war criminal, Ariel Sharon? Do you even remember what he was up to in 1982?" Go after Jimmy Carter for ensuring that USSR would invade Afganistan. His Sec of State admitted their role in this activity. Concentration camps? Hyperbole? Or do you have so much contempt for Jews that you would diminish the Holocaust? You intersperse all comments about power, resources, etc with these anti-Jewish barbs. And you also label "Palestinians" as peace-loving, merely interested in survival, and so on. Get real. You're not smart enough to pull an Edward Said or Noam Chomsky shpiel about power and domination.

Hey, folks. this is the UN Human Rights COUNCIL. It's the successor to the discredited Human Rights COMMISSION which was so screwed up that even the UN couldn't make excuses for it any more. So they re-formed it under a different name with the same old 'Destroy Israel' nations sitting on it. The Council includes numerous states with poor records on human rights, such as China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Pakistan and Russia. PLUS . . . . The new UN Human Rights Council voted on 30 June 2006 to make a review of alleged human rights abuses by Israel a permanent feature of every council session. I mean, exactly how unbiased can you get, friends?

Yes, I have been there and have seen what goes on with my own eyes... wanna take a trip down there? I bet you will change your mind in sec!

Sorry..I spelled your name Leon instead of LeoP..I'm not the best typist in the world.

Hundreds of millions around the world also don't eat meat, including right here in America. Why? because it's too expensive.

If people think that Mr. Dugard is antisemite no, he may even like Israel. He has a good paid and a warning from Hamas that he better write the propalestinian report or his Wife will get a present in the mail: His head.

many of us have followed what has been going on in Gaza and israel, and we know that the Palestinians are reaping what the sowed

I think the reason he mentioned HAMAS being DEMOCRATICALLY elected is that is what initiated the blocking of funding to Palestinians. That is why Israel is keeping tax payments from going to the rightful recipients and why the US and Canada are also retaining relief aid. The kidnapping of ONE soldier is not the real reason although it is being used as an excuse. By the way, I think it is both parties, Israel and Palestine that are refusing each others right to exist. All one has to do is read some of the posts on this site to prove this point.

I think a strong argument can be made that Israel does not live in peace nor does it respect its neighbors. Particularly those "beasts walking on legs."

You seem very passionate in your defence of Israeli actions. I'm sure it must be very difficult living with the constant fear of rockets. So you should know even better than most how fearful the Lebanese and Palestinians are of Israeli bombs, bulldozers, walls, and collective punishment. To see two wonderful religions used and exploited by fanatics on BOTH sides of the fence makes me very sad. Fortunately there are people on both sides who want more understanding and dialogue. All we need to do is open our eyes before we leave a smoldering pile of garbage for our children to inherit.

My goodness! What a pile of BS. Do you people know how to separate fact from fiction or do you just blithely and stupidly follow as the Gospel truth whatever the Arab propagandists throw out. I guess its better to believe in conspiracy theories (ie the Liberty). Its easier on the mind...you don't have to think, just sound self righteous! Well your self-righteousness smacks of overt antisemitism. Yes those poor palis and those evil Jooooos. Why don't you check out where all the billions the EU and others have given the Palis? Instead of building an infrastructure and an industry, they would rather use the money to foment terror and murder. And of course its the fault of the Jews, right? WHAT ISN'T!! Its never been about territory, idiots! Its always been about the fact that Israelis (mostly) are Jews and not Muslims..period. Remember Fatah was started by that kleptocratic egomaniacal butcher Arafat (and friends) in 1964. I guess he never considered the West Bank as occupied by Jordan. Or perhaps you should check out the Arab language text books in Paliland (funded by the UN). There is enough anti-Jewish hatred to make the Nazis look pro Jewish! And by the way while you're fact checking, why don't you fact check the Palestine Mandate. You might find that The League of Nations gave Jews control over the West Bank as well. The real occupiers are the Arabs but hey..that wouldn't be in the NYT, would it. Maybe you might learn that Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq were all artificial creations of the "Great Powers" (read England and France) after WWI. But why bother with the truth when your mind has been made up by facile jew-hating propaganda. I'm sure the UN is looking to hire people like you. Your comments make you very qualified. You can join Kofi's son as he steals medicine from under the noses of Iraqi children. There's lots you can do there to make the world a safer place...for terrorists

PA/PLO are the recipients of mega U.S. tax dollars. Americans are immorally forced to finance jihad against Jews and Americans.

10,000 Jews in Gaza and northern Samaria were ruthlessly ETHNICALLY CLEANSED - rendered jobless and homeless - Israel's military gifted the seized Jewish land and assets to the Islamic PA/PLO terrorist organization. Muslims demand the ETHNIC CLEANSING of Jews from militarily strategic, Biblical Judea and Samaria - vital to Israel's defense. Israeli leaders plan to submissively comply with this massive criminal violation of the human rights of Jews and in the process destroy Israel's defense. Stop global jihad's unopposed march to world conquest! Don't surrender Jewish land for Global Islamic Terror State Two - a terror state dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the free world! www.israelnationalnews.com GSS Chief Paints Grim Security Picture of PA-Controlled Areas Aug 30, '06 / 6 Elul 5766 by Hana Levi Julian and Yechiel Spira ...“Samaria has become the land of Islamic Jihad following the Disengagement,” he told the committee. Diskin added that Judea and Samaria have become much harder to control since four Jewish communities in northern Samaria were destroyed by the Israeli government in 2005. Intelligence gathering has also become much more difficult, he said. The senior intelligence community official spoke of the decay of law and order throughout PA-controlled areas in Judea and Samaria. Hizbullah is becoming a greater threat than even Fatah and Hamas within these areas. Smugglers are bringing guns, rockets, missiles and other materiel into Gaza with impunity at this point, he said, despite the presence of Egyptian forces there. The list of weapons and ammunition that smugglers have managed to bring into Gaza is stunning: some 4 million bullets, more than 17,000 guns and pistols, 3 dozen rockets, dozens of anti-tank missiles, 400 RPGs, 15 tons of TNT and up to 15 Katyusha rockets of the type fired from southern Lebanon at northern this summer. “At this point, anyone who wants to smuggle something through the Philadelphi route [into Gaza] can do so. You can smuggle anything through … except maybe a tank or plane,” said Diskin. He warned that within 3-5 years, the Sinai will become a major route for the import of arms for terrorists. "Sinai will become a major threat to Israel if the current trend is permitted to continue," he said... http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=111039

and towards Israel, once again. G-d forbid the UN's Darfur mistakes would be shown to the world where an ACTUAL GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING is occuring. Maybe they could've done something about it instead of doing the Arab world's bidding and sitting in Gaza 365 days of the year. How many people died of starvation in Gaza? How many died of starvation in Darfur, Sudan, Rwanda,??? Hyporcrites. I rest my case.

The US will not fund this corrupt organization for much longer.

The U.N. and other ignorant peoples should look at why the Palestinians are in the situation they are in. They teach there children hate lies and much worse. They want war and to destroy Israel and then the west. They cheer when the twin towers came down. They lie about the Jews not being in thier land thousands of years before Islam was even thought of. Everything is everybody else's fault except there own. Pachetic pathological liar. Have a nice day!

first i read the article it is less than the truth ..the disaster here is more than what said by the un ...and sure the israil is the main cause of this situation ,,we have an arabic saying it is [[almal leman fee yadah ] it means the money belong to the hands of owners or to the one keep it ...sure here the problem ,,but about the kidnaped more than 100 per cent do not know where he is and they do not care in their awfull situation ,,,/all this i know and under stand ..only one thing i do not under stand why you sign usa befor ... lastly i am eating becouse it is night fasting is only at day time ,,but sure many people do not find the food for night and day ,,and the children which are more than half in gaza ..fasting is for the age of ten years ,,or it is not a problem sir ,,,,, salam mike in the israil and usa befor

I've never heard the UN say anything good about Israel or the United States and we Americans pay over 25% of the UN upkeep. If Palestine has it so bad maybe they should get rid of the terriorists who are trying to run their country into the ground. Hezpullah is doing the samething to Lebanon. Wake up all you people who live in the Mideast. Most of you are "Dead Men Waking" just because you curse Israel and the ones in the states are under the same curse. Maybe that's why all of you hate Israel so much, you know what's coming for you. Besides being anti-sementic, I understand that under Islamic law a man can marry someone when they reach 9 years of age. The last I heard this was child abuse so that makes the men who do this pedophiles. Is that worse than saying something bad about Islam?

I knew nothing about Ynetnews until few months ago I read an article from Google news linking to here. Then I started following regularly during the war. I was neutral between the Arabs and the Israelis in their conflict as I think it is a very deep and complicated one. I admit that I don't enough about history and both sides to make a clear judgement. After reading the thousands posts by the Israelis and the Jews all aound the world, I started to dislike Israelis and Jews. I don't want to think all Jews think like the ones who post here but I am appalled with the hatred, indifference to human suffering, eagerness to kill without discrimination and justification of even the evilest acts, narcissism and etc exhibited here. Usually one starts to like people after getting to know them, getting to know how they think but after I got to know how you think and read what you wrote I disliked you very much. It is very disturbing to see that some of the worst postings are from the ones that don't even live in Israel. I see a pattern of social pathologies here but I can't see a reason for it to go away anytime soon.

to their people? They sure as hell have no problem transferring people with bombs strapped on their bodies to Israel! They have no problem transferring weapons from Egypt to the Gaza Strip! They have no problem transferring rockets made with these illegal chemicals into Israel! So are you telling all the world, that these devious clowns, can't figure out how to get some food? Maybe if they spent more time acquiring food, rather than working on the next big Jew killing terrorist attack, they would be eating right now, instead of chewing on a rag soaked with explosive chemicals! By the way---I thought the Palestinians supported their terrorist government. I thought they liked killing the Pigs and Monkeys on the other side of the wall. Unbeknown to the Palestinians----they are Jews. Someone is always misinforming the Palestinians about who lives on the other side of the little wall. So now the pigs have to share some of their slop????? God forbid!!!!! I thought Muslims wouldn't go near a pig----let alone eat, and share food with one!

going to give my American Indian a$$ back my land? I'm feeling pretty oppressed with them squatting on my land, and not purchasing it from me. I'm starting to feel like I'm in a concentration camp surrounded by Calvary Troops. They aren't feeding me---sharing---helping me out! Whatever should I do? Get off my ass and get a job you say! Don't blow myself up for the big Indian God you say! Get over it, and get a job you say! What wonderful advice, and I've gladly already taken it! So when will the Palestinians, and their enablers, 48# and 54#, get a friggen clue, and do the same? It's much easier to blow up some Jews for Allah. Then bitch and moan about being surrounded by a cement wall, which keeps your terrorist supporting hiney out of Israel.

As a gay man, I ask Zionists to imagine the injustice of a gay homeland being carved out of a pre-existing nation, from which all heterosexuals would be violently expelled and placed in shantytowns outside the national boundaries. If these displaced heterosexuals retaliate, they would be bombed back to the stone age. If this sounds unfair and absurd, then so should an artificially-dominated Jewish-Israel.

Sorry Oren: been to the land of Israel/Palestine and saw it first-hand (1999-2002). Not a word of falsehood here, in fact, it does not go far enough. Mike in Israel: why were they 'kidnapped'? Why because as has happened weekly for several decades, the illegal israeli occupatin forces made an incursion into Lebanon, again, as is done 100's of times a year, and they were snagged (the soldiers, and when were they killed? Hadn't heard that one) at that time. That's why all 'leaders' made a concerted effort to say, even weeks and weeks later, that Hezbollah "came into Israel and took the soldiers," to try, as always, to set the seed in place so when all the other crap comes in, we'll still say: '...but, but..... they (Hizbollah) came INTO israeli territory," which, of course, is really Palestinian territory to begin with. Crissakes: is there any truths coming out of israel?

Like I really care
