1. Sadly, the UN has no credibility
Adamush   (03.10.07)
So this "report" can be safely filed in the round cabinet.
2. UN WANT A SOLUTION TO DESTROY ISRAEL

3. Since we're telling others what to do...
rocky ,   rocky mountain high   (03.10.07)
How about the UN stop the bloodshed in Darfur? Or stop all the scandals in their own house of bribes? Or stop sending their workers to 3rd world countries where they perform the most henious sex crimes on small children? The only thing good that has EVER come out of the UN(League of Nations at the time) was when it voted to declare Israel as a state. Since then, it has really served no legtimate purpose. America should stop sending it's yearly 25 million dues there where midget punks from all over the world feel free to come in and declare their knowledge of the presence of satan, as well as those who have smelled the sulphur of hell. If terrorist countries can defy the UN and all of its useless resolutions, then Israel should by all means disregard all of their pontificating. It's time to show the UN what an ineffective body of terrorists lovers it has become.
4. the simpsons
roger ,   australia   (03.10.07)
from the simpsons, episode "Das Bus": SKINNER: "Order, order! Do you kids wanna be like the real U.N., or do you just wanna squabble and waste time?"
5. UN spotlight discriminant
Doron Katz ,   Sydney, Australia   (03.10.07)
The UN should look at member countries of the UN, who have desires to wipe out other nations first. There are bigger issues in the world. The Palestinians are a lost cause, and a finished people, we should look elsewhere
6. ok but first..
canadian ,   canada   (03.10.07)
arab israelis and palestinians need to recalibrate so that they are not security risks.
7. UN vilifies Israel & exonerates everyone else ... again.
Jane ,   Gwent, UK   (03.10.07)
Any call for a cessation of attacks upon innocent Israelis or acts by the PA to prevent Palestinian terrorism, both of which would remove any need for checkpoints or the security barrier, are again conspicuous by their absence in yet another horrendously biased anti-Israeli report from the UN. The thunderous silence in the report towards the racial hatred and incitement to violence within the Palestinian education syllabus and media that refuses to acknowledge the mere existence of Israel speaks volumes in itself. Another UN body today condemned Israel for the situation surrounding Palestinian women. Conspicuous by it's absence in that biased report too was any mention of honour killings, the participation of Palestinian women in terrorism or the manner in which the Palestinian women are treated by their own society. It was blame the Jews and ignore the responsibility of everyone else. Indeed, all these UN groups do is isolate and target Israel and hold the latter to standards which it ignores in relation to the Arabs. In essence these UN groups are no more than platforms from which the UN seeks to denigrate and delegitimise the Jewish state. With the history of the UN towards Israel any informed observer can expect nothing less.
8. When Arabs and Palestinians stop trying to murder Jews
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (03.10.07)
Israeli security measures have to be aimed at those who try to kill and maim Jews, and the ones doing it, aiding those doing it, and abbeting those doing it are Arabs and Palestinians, U. N. commities are formed mainly by Arab and Muslim countries, so what can you expect.-The Israeli press should not be a mouthpiece for those groups that all know are bent on destroying Israel as a Jewish homeland
9. palis
jj ,   montreal canada   (03.10.07)
I agree security should be recalibrated. Don't allow any Palestinians into Israel period. They want their own country let their goverment give them work. They haver no reason to go into Israel anyway, except to make trouble. Israel does not owe them a living.
10. a litany of complaints
tom ,   toronto, canada   (03.10.07)
it would seem that this united nations committee has spent 4 weeks (and untold thousands of dollars) to compile a list of arab complaints against israel. it's hard to even call this propaganda exercise "biased", since it makes no attempt to even mention any wrongdoing on the part of the arabs, while criticizing israeli security measures. and while it condemns israeli hate-speech (sic), it makes no mention of the hate-filled curriculum taught in palestinian schools, the incessant jihad preached in the mosques, or the hate propaganda in the(government-controlled) palestinian media. nor does it make mention of the gross violations of israelis' human rights by rockets, and suicide bombers, and shootings, and stonings, that take place daily under the direction of the p.a.
11. Why? When was the last time...
Aharon   (03.10.07)
That a Jewish sucide bomber blew himself up in Jerusalem or Tel-Aviv? Israel targets Arabs because arabs are the security risks. Targetting Jews for the sake of non-discrimination is just plain idiotic, and a waste of Israel's resources.
12. What Next?
Karen/US & Australia ,   Melboune Australia   (03.10.07)
Maybe the UN will decide that suicide belts are just a fashion statement. Sending kids to blow themselves and others up just another form a birth control. Must be nice to have a job saying useless and stupid things and still get paid and "respect".
13. Did they ask Palestinians to stop bombing Israeli bakeries?
Zvi ,   USA   (03.10.07)
14. Ryan asks the UN to
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (03.10.07)
stop raping little kids and woman in Africa Fix the Darfur crisis Explain to me how Rwanda happened Explain to me how the majority of your time and resolutions are spent on the palestinian issue The majority of your condemnations are against Israel How come you ignore crimes against native americans in similar nature to that of the palestinians stated here Explain to me the oil for food scandal why is there no condemnation of russia threatening oil and gas cutoffs and using it as political leverage Why you don't take a bigger stance on pollution Why you stay out of the tamil tiger issue Why are countries with poor human rights records allowed on the human rights commission How was Libya chairman of this commission in 2003 How did Sudan get elected to this commission in 2004 Why was the condemnations resolutions against Israel equal to that of the sum of every other country why is it they can't agree on sudan or any other issue but condeming Israel why is the majority of it's time spent doing so why neglecting real issues How come you've allowed yourself to be hijacked by abusive countries so they can further their own mandates and protect themselves from scrutiny And last of all, how can any member of the UN sleep peacefully at night?
15. UN: More Israelis must die to make us HAPPY
malcolm   (03.10.07)
16. UN Hypocrites silent on Islamic terrorism
Marcel ,   florida   (03.10.07)
They are afraid to deal with the truth so they pick on the easy targets, thje Jews. Hell will open wide for U
17. The UN does diddly-squat really really well
UN SUCKS ,   USA   (03.10.07)
18. un panel to should tell palestinians to stop violence
(03.10.07)
FOR A CHANGE!
19. U.N. what a Chutzpa.... The most corrupt
Joe ,   USA   (03.10.07)
bias and prejudiced institution - will dictate proper behavior oothers to follow ...Shame on them, and on what they stand for.
20. Evenhanded Rules
Michael ,   Boston, MA, USA   (03.10.07)
And the US and UK should eliminate screenings of passengers at airports, because it discrimnates against law abiding citizens. Are these guys nuts?
21. UN Panel tells Israel to stop violence...
Joel S. Keller ,   Ohio USA   (03.10.07)
Is the UN out of its mind? (If it ever even had one...) And here I thought that it was the Palestinians who were committing acts of violence, discrimination and terrorism. How foolish of me. As a famous editorial cartoon once stated (and now applying to the UN): "We now declare idiocy a form of intellect." Duh!
22. So the settlers are the problem?
Y ,   N   (03.10.07)
What about the 1000 kassams launched from Gaza?Its strange that they always demand something from the israeli side but little or nothing from the palis. They are the spoild children of the middle east and can do whatever they please without any consequences. Well im sure if Israel complied with these demands everything would be just fine.
23. UN or UM?
Freejay ,   Israel   (03.10.07)
Is the UN a Muslim organization? Seems so.
24. Easy solution ...
Smart Me   (03.10.07)
... draft Arabs into the IDF and police.
25. Incitement against Israel - Must Read!
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (03.10.07)
Dear Editor, I came across this article in the (Algemeen Dagblad - www.ad.nl) in a Dutch newspaper. http://www.ad.nl/buitenland/article1155789.ece The article itself is about German clergy men comparing the Palestinian territories with the Warsaw ghetto. I think you also posted this message a few days ago. What is very annoying is the picture they attached to this article. The picture illustrates a dead baby killed (according to the subscription) during an Israeli raid. The picture has absolutely nothing to do with the article. They have used this picture several times already and this offcourse results in very angry responses from the readers which you can read below the article itself. In my perception this is totally wrong and improper use of the media. What do you think would happen if you would show pictures of the Lynch in Ramallah at every single article you place regarding terrorism... Shalom Dani
26. IF IT WERE FOR THE UN THE JEWS WOULD BE ALL DEAD
BOBBY SOLO ,   ITALIA   (03.10.07)
IF IT WERE FOR THE UN THE JEWS WOULD BE ALL DEAD! THEY LOVE COMMEMORATING DEAD JEWS AND HELPING TO HAVE MORE OF THEM MURDERED! THE UN IS THE "ISRAEL HATERS INTERNATIONAL"!
27. WHY IS AN ISRAELI PAPER PUBLISHING SUCH GARBAGE?
BOBBY SOLO ,   ITALIA   (03.10.07)
WHY IS AN ISRAELI PAPER PUBLISHING SUCH GARBAGE WITHOUT COMMENTS? DO YOU HATE YOURSELF SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING BETTER TO PUT ON YOUR SITE? DO YOU THINK THERE AREN'T ENOUGH ISRAEL HATING MEDIA IN THE WORLD?

29. Riiiight...Israel should take security advice from UN
RA   (03.10.07)
The most incompetent organization made in modern history (the UN) is telling Israel how to protect itself from Arab savages. And their advice...? Stop protecting yourself from Arab savages. Good one UN, I think we all got a laugh from that one.
