1. THE UNITED NATIONS AGAINST ISRAEL
UN Charter is:   (11.21.06)
2. This is sickening.
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (11.21.06)
3. And Olmert bets the survival of Israel on this corrupt group
Cynic ,   USA   (11.22.06)
4. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
(11.22.06)
fu*king unbelievable! it is just inexcusable. the un does not even try to look as if it gives a shit for implementing 1701's promisses toward Israel. These kidnaped soldiers don't even get the treatment a planning to be suicide killer gets in the Israeli jail! (which is 5 points hotel, completing of his education payed for by the people he wants to kill, and visits from his family and friends). They don't even get the treatment of war captives under international law. They might be held in a meter cube with no view of day light like Tennenbaum was held. They might be fucking dead (god forbid) like the previous kidnaped were and Israel couldn't find out until after it reliesed thousands of terrorists for them. The UN is a shamefull cynical criminal organization, and if I were Israel I would not even let the bitch in.
5. Arbour
Steven ,   L.A. USA   (11.22.06)
Plain and simple. If Arbour won't meet with the kidnapped soldiers families, there is no way that Livni or any other Israeli official should meet with her.
6. Not surprising!
Eric ,   Toronto   (11.22.06)
Do not forget that Arbour belongs to the Quebec French left that is sold to Arabs!
7. but she has no problem hosting terrorists
Arie ,   Afula   (11.22.06)
typical UN scum
8. UN Commissioner refuses to meet captives' families
Jacques Pri-Gal ,   Eilat Israel   (11.22.06)
I regret this not only for the three families, but for all of us. It again proves, that Ben-Gurion was correct : "UM- Shmum !"
9. UN Reps & Their Black Souls
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (11.22.06)
These UN reps are EVIL incarnate. Ignore them all because dealing with them gives them legitimacy they do not deserve. Even though the UN grew out of the dark evil and ashes of the Holocaust, it has now become the enemy of the Jewish people.
10. That Long Sought-after Balanced Approach
Steve ,   USA   (11.22.06)
B"H Do not meet with the families and do not meet with the soldiers kidnapped. There is that balanced approach that the UN has called for consistently! And before you get too excited, yes, I am being cynical about the situation.
11. UN COMMISSIONER
Mitchell ,   Miami   (11.22.06)
Israel cannot dictate to the UN Commissioner who she should or should not see on her visit- but the government of Israel should not waste its time to meet with her unless a satisfactory explanation is put forward. I think Mme. Arbour deserves the benefit of the doubt- because I do not believe her to be against Israel- but just naive and ignorant.
12. Arbour- French Canadian
Mitchell ,   Miami   (11.22.06)
Eric, there are many French Canadians that stand with Israel and I hope that you would reject that racist mentality. It could just as easily be argued that there are many in Ontario- such as the head of the CUPE branch- that are real anti-semites.
13. How many Canadians did Israel kill this year ???
Paul ,   vancouver   (11.22.06)
Have you ever thought about that ??
14. I believe this old hag
NTI ,   Red Chili   (11.22.06)
wants only to meet handsome Nessy-rallah or any other bearded-pigs, e.g. Haniyeh? Ask for their hands, maybe. UN Commisioner? It's just another high-paying job.
15. #4
Erik ,   czech Republic   (11.22.06)
How many UN resolution were ignored by Israel? to be even handed she would have to visit all families of kidnapped Palestinians kept in Israely jails. Israels should leave the "cynical criminal" organization.
16. Arbour piece of Sh*it
Ben ,   Toronto   (11.22.06)
She is French after all...!
17. UN
mordey ,   Sydney Australia   (11.22.06)
I have no idea why we are still in this organization, we should get out of there ASAP. PERIOD.
18. Tzipi don't let her
Eldad   (11.22.06)
meet with you without the families! just say no!
19. in that case she
Adi ,   Israel   (11.22.06)
should not come here, she should stay home the antisemite....
20. what a HUTZPA!!!
Niki ,   u.s.a.   (11.22.06)
21. Livney, tell her
Karen ,   u.s.a.   (11.22.06)
she has to meet with them, what kind of b.s. is this? after 2 weeks they give them an aswer? what an insult!!!
22. don't let her come here....
Dana ,   Israel, north.   (11.22.06)
stupid antisemite BIT**!!!
23. And the sun will rise tomorrow
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (11.22.06)
To say the UN doesn't care about the resolution is wrong, they only care about the parts that concern hindering Israel while benefitting Lebanon, that is clearly displayed through UNIFIL actions and strategies. Wouldn't it be great if all Western Nations pulled out of the UN, stopped paying duties and giving supplies. Boycott the UN, cancel memberships and leave the UN to terrorist harboring countries. Don't let any UN agencies into your country. Put the first foot forward towards the abolishment of the UN.
24. Ban Louise Arbour from Israel
Johnson ,   USA   (11.22.06)
25. Great News
israelibad ,   USA   (11.22.06)
Why should Zionist prisoners be visited and be shown humane treatment when Arab prisoners languish in Zionist dungeons with no end in sight.
26. As a canadian I am thoroughly disgusted
freedom ,   canada   (11.22.06)
with this behavior...
27. Absolutely disgusting - UN is a farce!
Nora ,   Israel   (11.22.06)
28. UN LOW Commissioner
Michael ,   New York, USA   (11.22.06)
Why doesn't this stuff appear in the press of the U.S. and the rest of the world... why only in the Israeli press? Where is the rest of the world's press, where is Al Jazeera? Where is FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, BBC? Where the hell are these so called free press people? Do they only publish things that happens to ARABS? What has happened to this world?
29. Arbour
Laura ,   USA   (11.22.06)
I believe, she is Jewish. Steven is correct, and Gillerman should introduce a resolution condemning this action, the Hizbollah, Iran, Syria, and the socalled UN Human Rights Commission and this one on refugees and Arbour,herself. Israel has to start 'hitting' back, and introduce these resolutions, go to the main press, have their news reporters go after an interview with Arbour, insist she answer why she isn't pursuing these kidnappings, etc. How much is this Commission's budget? How budgeted? What is her salary? Publish her record as a judge, and as a Commissioner.See if she is living up to her oaths, her responsibilities, and her oversight. Ask her why the UN is so inept, wasteful of taxpayers' monies, and as a Jew ,why she isn't more exemplary in combating the rabid anti-Semitism? Hold her feet to the fire, so to speak.Time is running out.Ask her if she realizes that , and what has she been doing to fight the ubiquitous anti-Semitism? If nothing, why not? I think, she was a refugee from the Nazis ,herself.Ask her why she hasn't learned anything from her experiences?Make her own up to who and what she is, what she represents, and get her on the record for history, if not for anything else.If the President of the US and the US Ambassador, John Bolton, can stand up to combat anti-Semitism and the Hate against Israel, why can't she ? Canada's PM is ,also, openly, pro-Israel and anti-terrorist.
30. #25
Lulu ,   Zion   (11.22.06)
You're right. From now on, we shouldn't take any prisoners. Why should my taxes to go on tv-equipped dungeons with free food and telephone? It's far too generous. Sderot needs them more...
