The hypocricy that goes on in the UN is a joke. These countries should really think about what they are asking. Isarl will always defend itself from terror and the US (one of the only fiar nations in this shitty world) will always back Isarel's right for self-defence...period!!!

The Israeli government ADMITTED it killed the palestinian civilians; it's not like they said it didn't happen and buried them all in a mass grave, a la Saddam Hussein. What would the UN need to find out besides the fact that unfortunately civilians were killed? Killing civilians is bad PR for Israel and the Arabs are not going to prove that this was on purpose, as Israel has nothing to gain and much more to lose when the army doesn't shoot straight. This is a most illogical argument and doesn't make strategic sense. The Arabs are again trying to capitalize on their sense of victimhood. If they really cared about protecting their own civilians, they would stop firing rockets at the Israeli ones and try diplomacy instead of terrorism.

The Israelis must recognize that America being on their side won't help solve the problem and both sides, the palestinians and Israelis would continue to suffer violence and counterviolence so what was expected from Gillerman is to call on the UN to press his government to comply with the international resolution and end its occupation of the palestinian people and land

Like no other military in the world, Israel takes the greatest care not to harm civilians. IDF soldiers are repeatedly killed because of Israel's policy. Serial killers Islamo-Fascist terrorist organizations wage war on civilian populations. They hide behind women and children and fire rockets from within densely populated areas. It is non-stop war against the Jewish state. Sderot, Ashkelon and towns surrounding Gaza are under constant, incessant daily rocket barrage from the enemy. Muslim human bomb killers continually attempt to infiltrate into Israeli cities. PA Muslims pass out sweets and celebrate in the streets by the thousands whenever Muslim human bomb killers murder Jewish innocents. YNET Article Sderot kids: Can't remember life without Qassams Miri Chason 11.08.06, 00:28 To the children of Sderot and the western Negev, life in the shadow of Qassams has been a traumatic experience for a long time...kids who have been under constant threat of rocket attacks. "We have no normal life. We never know what will happen the next hour when Qassams fall; we are not only afraid for ourselves, but also for our families. It's traumatic to think that someone close to us will get hurt. It's just terrible," said Bar, one of the children who testified before the committee... I have a hard time concentrating in school, and the Qassams affect my entire life," said Niv. "Every time I want to do something, I give up because I think that the alarm will go off at any moment... http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3325250,00.html Before Gaza's Jews were deported, Islamists rained down thousands of rockets on Gaza's Jewish communities. Daily miracles from G-D kept the number of Jews injured and killed amazingly low. Sderot's and western Negev's Jews now rely on daily miracles for survival. Every country on earth has the legitimate right of self-defense to protect their citizens from continual war waged against their civilian population. It is immoral to allow these attacks on Israel's civilian population to continue. Take back Gaza now. The U.S. EU UN seek to give the biggest terror-supporting society in the world a second Global Islamic terror state in Jewish, Biblical Judea and Samaria, reducing tiny Israel at mid-section to indefensible 9 miles wide Auschwitz borders facilitating a second Holocaust of Jews.

True, true, and it has dark veto power that it continues to use to operess the defenseless Palestinian chirldren, and take their rights away.

Palestinian children are the victims of their own society. Their government, teachers and parents are the ones to blame. If they always blame Isarel for all their problems, they will never be a progressive culture. they will stay behind the times and continue to live as barbaric, primitive people. It is up to them to save their children, but it looks like they are more concerned with the destruction of Isarel for now.

Why is it that George Bush, Gillerman, et al can't talk about the world without sounding like they're addressing a Dungeons and Dragons convention? Axis of evil, evil forces, bla bla bla

US has no veto for Israel to use a rubber stamp.

Those of you in US who voted for Democrats, watch this. It is the first nail in some number of Israeli coffins to come. Leach is a quintessential UN Arab-appeasing bureaucrat. Congratulations. I hope you all think about it every time you go to bed from now on.

Everytime Israel kills and Arab it is a massacre? And when the Isrealis die it is ok. Maybe we should go back and reread the claims made by the Arabs, of numbers.Have we forgot the Jenen incident?

Whens the arabs fire missiles into Israel....every single day...What do they expect in return? Something bad is bound to happen eventually. Israel does a great job of targeting terrorists only but sometimes things will go wrong. Gaza has no reason to be firing missiles into Israel. Israel does not "occupy" one cm2 in Gaza. So why are Gaza guns and missiles firing? If Gaza stops, Israel stops. Is that to complicated for arabs to understand? The blood is on Hamas' hands. Just where they like it.

I applaud Mr Gillerman for telling these hypocritic anti-semites (UN) the truth.Blood thirsty Muslim jihadists are killing hundreds of innocent people every day (africa) yet the UN wants to condemn Israel for the the accidental death of 18 human shields in Bet Hanoun. The UN make me sick to the stomach. Maybe Gillerman could teach Olmert to say it like it is instead of apologising all the time.

Is Dan Gillerman the only voice that speaks any sense in the UN? Would France give them flowers...no they would run up the white flag! They fire rockets, and when they get them back, they cry "war crimes" . The Un should look to other places in this world where the real massacres are happening...sorry for the lose,but 19 isnt a massacre #6. 100's and 1,000's is a massacra...these people were the sacrifices of their own terror groups. No qassams...no retaliation..no dead! And I honestly beleive they are quiet happy to see their dead, then they can cry out against Israel and its existance. they killed those people!

When there is a culture that is hell bent on destroying other cultures, I call lit evil. When death is the ultimate goal, again, evil. What don't you get? Hitler was pure evil, but the world let him be and see what happened? We learn from history, I guess you don't?

According to Wikipedia "The word massacre has a number of meanings, but most commonly refers to individual events of deliberate and direct mass killing". Since Beit Hanoun was an accident it should not be called a massacre. If you think the IDF deliberately killed 19 civilians then you have a warped view of Israelis, probably due to some combination of ignorance, anti-semitism and exposure to propaganda.

becouse Democrats are trying to restore the reputation of US after it has been damaged by the arrogance of Republicans and they want to put the interest of America before the interest of israel.TOUGH

I knew she made the right decision when she did not go. She has great instincts and won't sell Israel out. Shame on the UM SHMUM, a redundant and useless organization. Israel should walk out and leave them to their misserable selves.

When will the UN issue a resolution against the jihadists attacking Israel?

the arab states are using the israeli-palestinian conflict to divert from their domestic difficulties !! of course all the arab states are great democracy and are humans right example ? what about all the crime against humanity that they comitted against their own population in syria , iran ,algeria ,arabia saudia and so on and so on !! but it seems that the UN is only focusing on israel that is simply defending is population against those islamo fascist !! let me remind you that we evacuated the gaza strip a year ago and we don't have to apologyze because we are not responsable !! these terrorist are using human shield and they come crying in front of the world !!!

Israel's Ambassador to the UN Dan Gillerman wanted to change reality which is clear to world opinion. He only slammed himself and Israel as well. The proposal, put infront the General Assembly to stop injustice and expose the guilty criminals. Israel wanted to hijack the truth, so it is the evil force along with the Veto operative. The session is meant ot uncover the abuser guilties and criminals. This is also a test of Yedioth as a free press. "This bloodshed can stop in one second. If terror stops, there will not be one single victim, Israeli or Palestinian. End the violence, and Israel never again needs not engage in self-defense," the ambassador said.
