(12.12.06)
2. refugees returning to "palastine"????
(12.12.06)
If I were one, I would rather stay in the camp. Let me make something clear..as an Israeli. I don't want them here!!!!
3. This man is Mad
Ari Rosen ,   Tel Aviv   (12.12.06)
Kofi has gone crazy after all his years in the UN ...didn't you learn aything from being in NY city Kofi ??? Palestinians (Araabs) should have a state not is Irael but in IRAQ or any other swap in Arabia .....
4. Newsflash for Mr. Annan: Hamas will never recognize Israel
Cynic ,   USA   (12.12.06)
5. Darfor
Paperika ,   NY NY   (12.12.06)
Amazing half a million dead in Darfur and Kofi is concerned about the palestinian solution. Iran goes nuclear and Kofi is concerned about the palestinian solution. 17 dead by accident Israel-Hezbolla war Kofi jumps up from in dinner in disgust,half a million dead in Darfur and Kofi wines and dines The UN Sell it and make condos on th east river
6. WHAT ABOUT THE KURDS?!?!??!?!
(12.12.06)
7.  Solution for refugees
jeremy ,   Hula Valley, Israel   (12.12.06)
It is so nice of Kofi, to say these things. HOwever, even a state won't help solve the Palistinian refugee problem. There are way to many refugees, for a Palistinian state to absorp them all. Instead, of telling us, to give them a state, he should be telling the arab countries that keep Palistinians in camps, citizanship in their countries.
8. Jerusalem as THEIR capital?
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (12.12.06)
This man is stark-raving mad. Since when has Jerusalem ever meant anything to Arabs or Muslims, other than as a bone of contention or a bargaining chip? How many times does Israel have to fight for Jerusalem before these asshats give up? And why is it up to Israel to change the thinking of the Palis? If they can't figure out the consequences of their choices, all the trying and talking won't do one bit of good. That's just more crazy BS. Kofi and Jimmy (Carter) should put together a comedy act. They might have to pay people to come and see them, but that's their problem.
9. What does it matter what this mamzer says?
Steve ,   Raleigh   (12.12.06)
If Kofi Annan told me the earth was round I'd check it with a geographer first. This man is incapable of telling the truth.
10. Hamas = Jihad = Hizbolla = Ahmedinajad = etc = Amalek
Right Winger ,   Haifa   (12.12.06)
Daniel Carmon has a valid point: For a Third World leader, with relativistic and 'multi-lateral' world-view as well as inherent propensity to side with terrorists and other vicious criminals, Anan's comments are 'balanced' and praiseworthy.
11. Good bye Kofi, Glad to see You Go
SES ,   Miami, USA   (12.12.06)
Kofi Anna's departure from the UN is a welcome gift this Hanukah season. Here's a man with a proven bias towards Israel and why not, he and his son have enriched themselves with his under the table dealings with oil producing states. In reality, Mr. Annan leaves the UN and the world in a much worse state than when he took over. ...in fact, he seems to be very proud of how he let the Iranians manipulate him, no nuclear control issues there ... and the new Human Rights Council he created, that is a true testament to his incompetence. That group is in business for 6 months and they have 7 resolutions against Israel, none for Iran, Syria, Sudan, North Korea and the other good guys. So good bye Kofi, glad to see you go, maybe you can team up with Jimmy Carter and start the center for Biased, Unfair Political Discourse. It can be a think tank for the two bit dictators you suck up to and defend ... you know like HAMAS and Hezbullah, freedon fighters, right?
12. annan
fish   (12.12.06)
it's amazing how much energy this man spends on israel, where was he during rwanda massacre?robably this horror wasn't too symbolic for him, you can't expect great photo-ops in rwanda or in darfur, the people aren't too civilized, and you can't deliberate on the problems of africa in the safety and comfort of five-star hotel press-conference there, unlike in jerusalem.
13. empty words from an emty figurehead
malcolm   (12.12.06)
He can join Jimmy Carter in proclaiming Israel to be the main source of trouble on the planet But they BOTH sat out Rwanda & Darfur while millions were literally slaughtered with machetes or gang raped. Should we expect anything less from Annan? No way! It's the knee jerk obligation of every secretary general since the day gun toting Arafat spoke from the pulpit to point & point & point at ... ISRAEL ISRAEL ISRAEL!!
14. Annan :a waste of time to the end
(12.12.06)
15. Annan GO AWAY!!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.12.06)
Stop talking and start packing. Your a has been..now go away!!!
16. What Happened to UN Resolution 194?
Dovy ,   Toronto   (12.12.06)
It is strange that Mr. Annan seems to forget about the provisions of return of the refugees under UN Resolution 194 from 1948. Has that resolution been canceled by the Zionist New World Order?!
17. UN Resolution 194 ?!?!
Michael ,   Lincolnton USA   (12.12.06)
General Assembly resolutions, unlike those of the Security Council, are non-binding and essentially are only suggestions.
18. No Dovy, learn your int'l law
Historian   (12.12.06)
UN General Council Resolution 194 has no weight in international law, Dovy. Only certain Security Council resolutions are considered part of international law. As a result, UNGCR 194 remains a mere suggestion offered by the international body and nothing more. This is the reason the Palestinians keep trying to get that resolution into every agreement they would sign with Israel, because there is no other way to make it relevant to the conflict.
19. some folks love to be hated
avramele   (12.12.06)
maybe too late but the guy spoke some hard truths to the assembly...amazing that talkback participants only want to revel in their victimization....hmmm just like their palestinian brothers and sisters!
20. REally?
TOM ,   BSAS,ARGENTINA   (12.12.06)
If you want to go back to 67 borders, then EGYPT MUST CONTROL GAZA AND JORDAN WEST BANK STUPID! Long Live israel. THE PROBLEM IS THAT PALESTINIANS, ARAFAT ( EGYPTIAN) NEVER NEVER NEVER, WANTED PEACE. INCLUDING 1947 PARTITION PLAN ALL ARAB COUNTRIES REJECTED IT, FOR 19 YEARS, UNTIL 67, ALL ARAB COUNTRIES AND ¨ PALESTINIANS ¨ NEVER SAY OR STATED OR WANTED A STATE UNDER THE OCCUPATION OF EGYPT AND JORDAN. NEVER! NEVER DID THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT BLACK SEPTEMEBR IN JORDAN 1970, NEVER HAVE THEY COMPLAIN IN HAMA CITY IN SYRIA, 20 THOUSAND ARABS DEAD. I AM SICK OF IT. THEY LOVE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, THEY DO NOT WANT PEACE. ARAFAT REJECTED THE CLINTON-BARAK PEACE AND A PALESTINIAN STATE, OFFERING 97 % AND A SPEACIAL CORRIDOR BETWEEN GAZA AND WEST BANK, AND HE SAID NO AND LAUNCHED THE SECOND BLOODY INTIFIADA! I AM SICK OF IT! LONG LIVE ISRAEL
21. What about the 1,000,000 jewish refugees from Middle east?!

Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.12.06)
23. Koffi "Haman"
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (12.13.06)
The Israeli-Palestinian and Mideast problems are much larger than the corrupt, useless and inefficient UN that for the past 10 years has been run by this corrupt, inefficient useless, anti-semite.
